Judging by the leak, I'm sure Tali gets more than Garrus.

Depends if you're playing as MShep or FShep, really.


Even if you play as femshep, he's too busy claibrating. But if you ask me, a lonely angry guy in a room all by himself with the door closed. Well, he's definitely calibrating something.

This. He's probably strangling "Sidonis" lol:lol:

I think Thane is actually a good choice. I also think that since Drells have perfect memory- to say that Thane isn't 'ready to move on' is off.  When would a Drell get over anything? Of course he's sad about how and what happened but he can seek refuge with your Shepard and I think he's a very very romantic character..unlike Garrus.
Garrus is hilarious and fun but he's what I'd consider "Mr. Practical". I just couldn't initiate a relationship with him- he's my bro and even though I only ever play femShep he's just one of my dudes.
Thane- on the other hand- my Shep is recovering from the Kaidan slap in the face and resurrection, she can really relate to his issues and he to her :wub:

Well, I really like their personalities better than the human squadmates, but every time I have a conversation with them I think of how they and Shep would do it and it doesn't look pretty.


Well, between the two of them- Garrus and Thane- it is apparent (through the use of tight leather clothing) that Thane more closely resembles the anatomic human male; I will direct you to "dat bulge" which a lot of thanemancers love to swoon about :wub:.

In theory "doing it" with Thane  look like it would be very close to "doing it" with a human male- the private parts an proportions are in the right places, he's just got a different type of skin.

They are both difficult.

Thane needs his son more than a lover.

And Garrus still feels guilty about his team, and a intimate relationship with him is a good way of ending the friendship and the love.

But, if we analize every character like this... well, the loveboat would dissappear.
Almost any of them needs a friend more than a lover, specially Jack.

I fail to see why the two are exclusive.

You can't romance either of them until their loyalty missions were successful for them to resolve their unfinished business. So Thane's issues with his son are improved, and Garrus' closure with his team and Sidonis are brought to a close before you're allowed to cop a feel with either of them.

I wouldn't recommend either unless you really mean it. If you just want to see the romances, then simply YouTube them. Romancing someone now without being sure about it will likely make you regret the decision later.

But this is an in-game explanation, one which is tied to the gameplay mechanics. My opinion was in case that the Op really cares about these two.

So why couldn't they be freinds with their lovers or have sex with their friends. The one's with "problems" are Jack, Miranda, Tali, Garrus and Thane. What makes their situations so unique that that they shoudln't mix friends and lovers?

I already gave you the explanations for Thane and Garrus. Jack doesn't trust anybody and she is not mentally sane, this makes being friends with her difficult, and lovers... well, at the moment she suspects that you could use her of cheat on her x.x That's why she needs a friend first, then a lover, she must learn to trust.

Sex with their friends? You really think that friends that have sex are the same as before?

Tali... I don't really see the problem with her. Though, there must be something I'm missing.

Miranda doesn't know nothing about long term relationships. Hence, why she fails with Jacob... plus all those problems about infertility, Cerberus, Oriana.... and so on. She needs to solve a lot of things in her life before she decides to commit herself to another person.

Tali is recently grieving from a dead parent and could possibly be exiled from her "country"' while she values her culture above most things.

On Jack, Mirianda, and Thane. People come with their issues, and people worth knowing come with problems. If a person is so dull that they have no problems in their lives or difficult things to think about, what kind of growth could they really have as a person. Jack may be violent, but I don't think she has any form of psychosis or a mental disorder, she's simply violent, and the rest of her problems aren't unique to her on the Normandy let alone in the whole of humanity.

Trust seems to be an underlying problem between these three, but trust is always a factor when you're getting involved with someone new, the only difference is in some situations it requires different degrees of care.

Freinds who have sex can be the same as those who don't. It really depends on the people involved, but its not the sex that changes them but the use it titles that throws people for a loop imo.

Again, I don't see how being there for any of these characters is influenced by having sex with them too.

True, I forget about that.

She does says that she enjoys killing, that is not very sane. I don't know... not everybody is taken as a child, used as experiment, becames mercenary, pirate, joins cults....

They may deny it, like those people who see sex in the same level as a hug, but the chemical reactions of the brain change everything.

Everything we know to be true about these characters is from in-game information, and the game makes them romanceable. Is this your own personal beleif on why they should not be romanceable? This would make more sense, as it don't think you really mean "if the OP cared.. the op would not..." because you really can't speak for the op or for the game writers.

Sorry, that was what I meant.

But not, not romanceables... Just roleplayed. When OP said that it feels weird to romance an alien, I assumed that he/she cared about this characters as people, not just pixels. That's why I said that, because if OP didn't cared at all about their "life", I assume he/she woulnd't mind if it looks like a hanar.

If it squicks you out that much, then don't do it. Or imagine that after the fade to black they stay up drinking wine and playing Skyllian five instead of getting their freak on.

You always have the option of initiating the romance and then backing out later if you still aren't into it. There will be opportunities to call it off both early and late in the game. (Breaking it off earlier will lead to less hurt feelings and even some good lines.)

I've tried both romances and prefer Garrus, but YMMV. I like the BFFs to lovers arc and find his romance funny but also moving. He's not just a xenocurious dino-cat but a good friend who is also slightly disturbed at the prospect of "cross-species intercourse."  By the final scene you can see that it's not casual sex he's interested in. Like Jack and Thane, Garrus is hurt and lonely and in need of a good snogging.

Thane's romance is also moving, but more somber. Thane tends to put Shep on a pedestal even more than Garrus (which is saying something).  That coupled with his eidetic memory and end-of-life issues made me enjoy the romance less, but many people love it and it's worth trying. I just kept imagining Thane having flashbacks of bad sex with Shep after she trips out on his bufotoxin, but that's just me.

Thane: She places her hand on my face. My beautiful Siha. Her warm lips caress mine. Suddenly, her eyes widen. "The mice!" she shrieks. "They have tiny RPGs! Get them off me! Get them off! Arrrgh!"

Shepard: *facepalm* Can you please stop bringing that up?

Damn it. I wasn't quick enough. DONT ROMANCE ANY OF THEM.. It's a huge scam.

The female romances are dreadful, the male romances aren't much better. But If I played femshep. I would be as loyal to me1 romance as freaking possible. Hell, maybe no romances at all.

Garrus is bad and not very plausible
Thane is worse but more plausible.

Pick your poison.

I don't think I've ever romanced a human in the entire time I've played ME1, and ME2. Even during the times I've played a Femshep. I wonder what that says about me.

I'm sure someone on this forum will be quick to disagree. :P
