But! For the longest time leading up to ME2's release, I was sure Jack had won me over (I'm kinda into that whole, "Badass, **** with me and die, but all I really want is love," kinda thing.
But then Tali was announced, and well.... As hard as it was, I made my choice fairly quickly. :3

As far as which romance I think is best in terms of writing, it's Jack without question. It's the only romance option where it feels like there is a real opening up and a real building of trust. Or to put it another way: it doesn't feel like it was easy (even if it's actually the easiest romance option in the game).

As far as ME2 goes I would probably rank them Miri > Tali > Jack but they are all at least reasonably believable. Miri and Tali are really close though, with Jack only slightly behind.
If you have to throw ME1 into the mix it might blow up everything. Really liked Ash over any ME1 female character, but Tali and Liara both evolved a bit in the second game.

I tried Thane at first, but his romance scene just seemed... so whiny. And it didn't help that I erupted into laughter at the cheesy line the commander says xD
I got about halfway with Joe before I couldn't take it anymore and went after Garrus. Joe just seemed a little creepy to me, I don't know why xD
I haven't been able to sit through male sheps monotone voice long enough to be with one of the ladies, I just can't help but erupt into a giggle fit.

yeah man, she's so emotionally naive, you get to fully manipulate her into giving up Cerberus and even TIM. imagine the things you could get her to do after you've ****ed with her mind a bit?

I prefer people who know who they are, and why.
Tsundere for life.

For miranda I agree whole heartly with this, one of my shepards that she is with prefers women like the stepford wifes and miranda fits the bill. I quite liked how you mind **** her and got her to leave cereberus etc.
I also enjoy the Tali romance with the mystery of what she looks like under the mask and suit. Though I'd prefer if they just revealed to us what tali looks like.

Ah, your "beer an submissive wife" comment through me off, but it still doesn't sound like fun to me.
Oh well.

Miri isn't anywhere near as innocent, she's killed babies for chrissakes, i got no problems turning her naive ass into a 'slave'.

And I wouldn't call Tali naive about everything, sure, she's one of the youngest characters in the squad, which might make her feel like a little kid (And her jumpy idle animation doesn't help.) but in the end she's no more naive than say... Jacob, or either Virmire Survivor.
I don't understand why so many people (Even Tali's "Fans.") treat her like she's a little girl. She's seen death, destruction, had friends die by her side, and enemies die by her hand. Just because she knows how to crack a smile and sound cheerful makes all the fanboys go "Whee! Kawaii darou!" and all the haters go "Ick."
/Rant.

Though, I don't see her so much as childish as nervous, a little nerdy, and selfless to a fault. My rational for Shepard hooking up with her is that, in addition to the above, she's the only woman he could really trust. I mean, Miranda is a Cerberus cheerleader, Jack is a sociopath (even with the romance adding a surprising and commendable amount of depth, realistically one person genuinely loving her is not going to fix a decades old mental defect), and in the case of ME1 relationships:
Ashley - Based on Horizon conversation clearly no longer trusts Shepard further than she can throw him
Liara - Is willing to go on what some would call a suicide mission to fulfill a revenge fantasy, but NOT go on the suicide mission that would actually help others.

Tali is just a kid. yeah she's seen some **** but she aint no Kal Reegor is she? most of her experience seems to of come by way of her influential father, which puts her in the category of spoiled rich kid over battle hardened woman, don't you think?
Ash/Kaiden are boring cyphers, neither of which add anything good to the emotional depth of ME. sure, you may think me wanting a deranged stepford wife for my shep is shallow but shep and Miri and their ensuing interactions have more depth than both the weak VS put together and timesed by 10.
as for Liara, don't get me started. most of my sheps have loved the **** outta her and not being given a choice to gun her down when she just ignores you when you meet up again is ME's biggest flaw to date. that and this multiplayer bollox.

Not everyone who has been through hell has to show it in their personality; you can be a badass without being a Zaeed. And no, I wouldn't call her either spoiled, or rich, considering she's far too familiar with combat and labor to be spoiled, and quarians don't have much money to begin with. Not to mention she makes it quite clear that, just because she's an Admiral's daughter, she doesn't get treated like royalty.
Ash might be a bit of a tsundere stereotype, but Kaidan's story was at least, refreshing; poor kid who's the offspring of an "Accident" involving eezo is shipped off to a hell on earth boot camp to train powers that only cause him pain. (The migraines,) His past involving Rana and him killing that ass of a turian, combined with the above statements to me, makes a compelling, but still realistic character.
Far more to me than Miranda; who quite literally was a spoiled rich girl up until she ran away from home 'cause of some daddy issues.
And I liked Liara, little bookworm type that gets her heart stolen by a potentially dashing commander, only to lose him/her, and then go through hell with the Collectors, the Broker and Cerberus to help bring him/her back to life. Why you'd want to gun someone like that down is beyond me.
And as a side note; multiplayer is optional, and not for everyone, but I'd hardly say its "Bolloxing" up anything. Don't know if you've been reading Casey Hudson's tweets, but it sounds solid to me.
