Daro Xen would indeed be nice to have.

In this scenario, would she be romancable?

Maybe, maybe not. On one hand I see her as the type to lay ya' and leave ya'. If she got together with Shepard it would just be a fling and she'd probably be manipulating him for her own ends. Icing on the cake when she turns on you in ME3.

On the other hand, I see her as someone probably too into her work and long-term plans to have any interest in love.

She might not even like the idea of being with an alien (that's an unknown).

I find it unlikely that she'd be romanceable, personally. If she was, well, it'd be best for it to be serious.

I assume she means an actual relationship, with feelings involved and such,

Well intimacy like that means vulnerability and I can't see Xen putting herself at risk like that. That's why I see it as either a fling with no real emotional investment or there being no romance at all.

I admit, it'd be interesting if she did.

Seriously if they had replaced Tali or Garrus with any other characters from the same species then people would actually be more annoyed than they already are, most of the dislike generated to those 2 characters has nothing to do with the characters themselves and more to do with what appears to be favorable treatment.

The biggest problem is that because we get both of those again added to Liara, the VS and new squadmates and every single me2 specific squadmate gets their role reduced irrespective of whether or not they may actually make plot sense to have a large role, it makes me2 an even more pointless exercise than it was.

A simple combined squad of me1 and me2 squadmates would have made more sense, it would have added importance to me2 and would eliminate the feeling that certain fanbases are getting better treatment than others.

While I dont diagree with everything you said, I honestly felt this was the case in ME2 as well. To a lesser extent anyway. I still cringe at the fact that Miranda can get shot while unloyal and survive but Garrus cant. I mean really WHAT THE **** IS THAT?

If she did what?

Let herself be vulnerable after a time.

It would be interesting but how would you write it? Daro'Xen, based my limited interactions with her (That's a disclaimer), strikes as someone who just doesn't let that happen. She strikes as being fiercely independent.

Independence hardly precludes romantic involvement (assuming that it's well-written, but that's another story). I do think that she'd benefit from finding someone who understands her; I find it rather interesting that when Tali calls her insane, she doesn't react at all, as though she was rather used to this by now. Whether she has this burning need deep down inside for companionship is something I don't know, but I think she could at least appreciate someone who thinks on her own level. It'd have to be a highly intellectual relationship, and I don't really see any Shepard other than an Engineer being able to meet her on a level she'd appreciate. If such a circumstance could be achieved... well, we'd need to know more of her backstory.

[Xilizhra]

I can't see any Shepard meeting with her on that level either. Not an engineer either. After all, Shepard is the same regardless of class and it is apparent Shepard isn't an intellectual. Or not much of one, anyway.

Well, adding Xen would be a much larger rewrite than inserting some possible dialogue pieces to that effect, yes?

I would say her backstory is probably a simple one. She was smart and capable and went off into the galaxy expecting to be accepted or at least respected.

Er, if she was expecting that, I'd have to question your first quality.

I think if your love interest will always be a squad member, that's what i think anyway.

Funny you say that because if that's not clear evidence of bad planning then i'm not sure what is, Miranda is practically unkillable in me2, Why?

Well you'd expect that perhaps given the fact cerberus play such a large role in me3 that its because they intended for Miranda to survive in almost all playthroughs allowing her to play a large role in me3 and the cerberus storyline, then off course you'd read the script leak and find that nope that doesn't seem to be the case and she like all the other me2 specific squadmates all play pretty much the same roles.

[S.A.K]

I think the case with miranda in the suicide mission isn't about giving her a large role in ME3. You need to have atleast 2 squad mates alive by the final part of the mission so you can proceed.
