I just have to wonder how many of the characters we're talking about are in ME. Cause I hear names I don't recognize.
A romance is only a romance if there's a fade to black, implied sexy time, scene to go with it?you cannot consumate it like you can the two 'cannon' options.

Relatively rare avatars in same discussion almost beg for mistake. Other notable cases - when same avatar arguing with each other (ME3 Kaidan against ME3 Kaidan. Must be side effect of L2) or entire pages of Garruses.Sethan_1 wrote...
Yeah, that would be him. Same avatar != same person.
Eager to see the outcomes, or even when you forgo romance in ME1 save it for ME2 and finalize it in ME3.

As far as ME LI turn-offs:
I love Thane, but his solipsism/flashbacks are cringe-inducing, mostly because I hate how they're implemented. I get that Bioware wants us to know what he's "seeing", but I despise the overly flowery language. I'm perfectly fine that he was married before, it's really just the constant "sunset colored eyes" references that drive the nail in...if they just removed the overly romanticized verbage it would make it a million times better (IMO, of course).
Dead wife, estranged son, space cancer? - Fine, whatever. Kodak memory with poetic sensibilites? - F* that, you've gone too far!
...I like the expressive language myself and love what it adds to his character...as for the flashing memory thingie though, I concur, more so for the way BW implemented the fast flash pics of his face though, I feel like I'm on the verge of having a fit....

I hate it when you feel like you are being 'pushed' towards one romance throughout the game those are the ones that I hate. In ME that character for me is Liara T'soni.
Romanced Ash in the first game, romance Tali in the 2nd where Miranda had that vibe going on. If I have to make a choice in ME3 Tali will probably win out in my main playthrough. Ash will get her own loyal playthrough though

No sad faces!! I love Thane, and my 2nd FemShep is all his! Maybe it's because I have an aversion to poetry? It's one thing to read flowery descriptions in a novel, and another to have someone use them in a sentence in a completely non-ironic fashion. I had a guy try to woo me by saying my eyes were "the color of beautiful watermelon seeds" (omgkillmenow) and I about died with laughter, then out of embarassment.
Thane led me to believe it was almost involuntary, but I suppose it's not?

....yeah it doesn't really work....
...just makes them sound kind of leaky and wet....
....he seriously needs to work on his style, poor dude...
...And yes an end to Thane's too often flash backs would be much appreciated....take notes from Feron's book.

Old. Well, lemme see if I can put it right. Erm, the pattern for romantic relationships in ME? Old, sticks out like a sore thumb and progressive at "breakneck" speed, somewhat unseemingly and sometimes, downright silly.
I'd prefer to be surprised. I can cite one particular game where I was totally immersed in the protaganist. The story telling was really good, letting one get to know the char. Romance was not in the works but there were potential relationships that were hinted at but never did come to fruition due to the protaganist's char. She valued her friends and never saw anything further. The notion for romance came much much later, out of the blue. The char never actually get into a relationship, in fact, there was only the premise of a buildup. This guy came along and in their exchanges (not friendly, they were on opposite sides of a war), there was a spark. That atmosphere that promised more if she could see past her defensive shield and if he could get to understand her.
This is something that will never happen in BW games.

The biggest turn-off to romances in Mass Effect is realizing that these men and women would be just as deeply and truly in love with all of you.

So Annah, Jaheira, Viconia, Valen, Anomen, Aerie and every romance character that existed before implied consummation aren't actually romances?

Romance with Jacob may be started before his LM. Before even Horizon, actually.CptData wrote...

What I also kinda dislike is the prereq of "do that loyality mission". I'm fine with it, but since ALL romantic relationships in ME2 start after that LM, they all seem to be a bit forced - I can't explain it, but that's what I am feeling. Do ppl suddenly develop romantic feelings out of nowhere because you did something nice to them? Tali seems to be the only character that already HAS feelings for Shepard, even BEFORE that LM (at least, BW says so). So all other characters develop romantic feelings out of nowhere? Hard to believe ... and kinda turn off.
