Disclaimer: I only romanced one human in ME2, and that was Jack. 

I found Miranda like the girls I couldn't stand in high school ("Don't hate me because I'm perfect and rich and accomplished....No one knows how trooooly horrible my privileged life is...") and the dialogue options to romance Jacob made me feel like a serial female predator, abusing a subordinant.

In a nutshell:  Personality Counts. 

The aliens in ME2 have good personalities and voice acting, which translate to nookie-appeal, at least for this girl.  The alien physiques, for me at least, are fairly irrelevant.  Ex. If Garrus had been a human male with the same voice, same mannerisms, same beliefs, etc., my femshep would have done him.

I certainly don't read Audubon Society Newsletters, visit the Reptile House at the zoo, or lurk in the dinosaur section of the Natural History Museum to get my jollies.  I also do not look at Playboy/Playgirl either, as, once again, you can't really tell someone's personality by one risque picture, other than the person is the type who doesn't mind being photographed naked. 

Is sexing aliens a bad idea?  I don't think teenagers playing ME2 are suddenly going to start finding themselves turned on by ostriches or alligators.  But they might be more open to a relationship with someone who isn't classically pretty or handsome, so long as that person has a good personality and a pleasant voice.  If so, I am all for it.

If I used your logic, I might argue that my game was 'reduced' long before ME2. Kaidan was 'shoved in my face', and so was Liara. I'm not attracted to them, so why do they hit on me? They should know I'm not interested before I play, darn it! They shouldn't even be in the game, because only characters I want to romance should be romances.

In fact, every single LI but my chosen one is 'shoved in my face'. Thane? In my face. Jacob? Right in my face. They reduce my game, therefore no one else should have the option to choose them. The Garrus romance is the only one with any character development involved, because it's the only character development that I appreciate. All the rest are obviously just there because people are perverts, they couldn't possibly have personalities or stories of their own that I simply do not enjoy.

(Note: This post is tongue-in-cheek, if my intentions managed to slip by. )

None of you guys are defending my real point; by Bioware forcing these romances that make no sense they've wasted effort and time. It's not so much that I don't like alien romances, its that they are consuming alot of resources in their development. It's like wanting Shepard to have sex with a dog or something.

[nitrog100]

Think of it this way. Would you have sex with any of the Mass Effect aliens? Personally, I think the fem Sheps got the short end of the stick. When you compare Liara and Tali with Garrus and Thane, which side is more attractive. All Asari are pretty much sexy blue humans with weird hair, while Tali has a great personality and you can't help but wonder what's under that suit.

Your argument would make sense if it was about romance in general; you're b--ching about how you think it's weird but yet, at the same time, they should pour it into human romances. And the dog analogy doesn't work, because sentient alien life =/= friendly, but of questionable intelligence pet.

The ME2 romances weren't sensual at all, I thought they were very classy.

But why the alien thing in particular? I personally think that Shep shouldn't be romancing subordinates in the first place (and Bioware shouldn't be devoting resources to that) but really once you have romances in the game at all, why get mad about the interspecies ones?

I don't think you're seeing the big picture here. They are NOT wasting effort and time if people WANT these romances. And "a lot of resources in their development"? Where's the evidence? I'm sure you have none. 

Another poster already made this point, but I'll say it again. Why does the each romance have to make complete logical sense? I like [insert love interest here] because I find his/her personality interesting and appealing. A romance isn't primarily about sex (for most people). It's about expanding the relationship with a character you like. This is evident from the personal conversations you have with them before the...well, you know. That's it. Why does it have to be more complicated than that?

Everyone is at some point or another. BSN trollposts help build up your perception of real-life trolling; They're doing us a favour.

[Sherned]

Why don't you whine about something people really don't want and actually is a waste of time and resources, like multiplayer.

[pottman]

Dude, don't like what you see, don't play the game. Simple as that.

[T huffin and puffin]

OP, there's no need to be so inflammatory. We're all sorry you didn't get to shack up with your xenophobic pal, Ash, in ME2. But honestly, there's no need to throw poorly articulated insults at "creepy sci-fi nerds". Your whole argument is based off the assumption that Bioware forces these romantic pursuits upon you, when, in actuality, this is an RPG and it's your decision to engage in a certain romance or not.

Cheer Up and Play Nice.

not so. I picked that with tali so as not to be a dick and my shep decides to say "HE WANTS TO, but it's too dangerous" instead of just "it's too dangerous" as clearly labelled on the dialogue wheel.

[Urazz]

Someone has to screw the aliens, if Shepard doesn't who will?  If it makes you feel better consider as a mission of diplomatic importance to promote friendliness with other alien species.  Your mission, to sex up as many aliens as possible.  We'll let the OP handle the Volus.

I like Liara for her personality. Not because she is a sexy alien. You arguement is invalid.

I really need to start a quote collection.

But the guy who posted the James T. Kirk picture was right to a degree. Kirk had the wisdom to "I should go" at Warp 5 sooner rather than later.

And I suppose I am a sci-fi nerd.  That's fine with me, King Zeel, but you acting like a tool.  So enough of you, bye bye.

To be fair to the OP I wouldn't say not wanting to have sex with aliens is xenophobic. There has got to be some species like vorcha, elcor, or hanar even BSN members won't want to sleep with...
or not...
