the thread was shut down because, by the time it had gotten to productive discussion, there was a lot of off-topic discussion about the same-sex romance thread and whether the thread was permitted to exist at all..

End of line.

The last thread was locked by Woo because of remarks like that.

Stop it before he ends up locking this one too.

Shepard (missing a tooth): Yep, and that was the roughest sex I've ever had. I guess I win the bet.
Jacob: Afraid not Shepard (slaps a piece of paper on the table) That's a citation for public lewdness that Kasumi and I got on the Citadel.

Never been onto the S/S thread, don't particularly see any reason to discuss it on a het romance thread.

On topic, I'm hoping that Mass Effect 3 romances are a bit more like the ME1 romances, but with the variety of the ME2 romances. For instance, no one could argue that the ME1 romances were way more sensual and actually 'romantic' than the ones in ME2, but the ones in ME2 weren't copied and pasted versions of each other.

So, here's hoping that romances in ME3 (het or otherwise) will follow that formula.

Edit: Meant the romance 'scenes' dammit.

The ME1 final romance scene is my favorite from any game, ever. It's just perfect, it's simple yet sensual and gives you just enough passion to say yeah these two have something.

And then the tragedy of having that budding relationship torn apart is fantastic. I'll admit I was mad when I first played through Horizon, and so was my Shep! But now with what is coming I'm glad I stuck to Kaidan and did not go with an ME2 relationship. 

The ME2 romances did not really appeal to me, none of the choices seemed like people my Shep would get romantically involved with. I think Thane might have come close, but even then I'm not big on doomed relationships because one of them is about to die, unless that's what the story is about... With Kaidan at least there's hope for a future. 

Vega intrigues me, I might romance him on a different playthrough, I doubt he'll steer me away from Kaidan but you never know. I do feel that the VS romance is the central one, at least for me since it goes through 3 games.

+1

Jack was the best written LI in the game series thus far. And, seeing as BW is the only dev  who does that sort of thing (at least I don't think other games have the LI system but I could be wrong) She's the best LI in game history.




I love the murder face.

There are honestly few hair styles I would want to see Jack with besides the shaved head. I still think dreads would be awesome as hell ('cos, y'know, crust punk Jack would just be...argh i can't even), or a mohawk. Maybe even something like http://imageshack.us...ckwg.jpg/ ]this[/URL]. But that's kinda where the line ends for me.

@Android: I agree.

I never liked Jack, it would have gone a long way if they made her look even slightly more appealing to the eye. Then maybe I would have actually cared to stand in the cargo hold for more than five minutes.

Ash and Miri all the way to ME3 for me, as well as one playthrough with Tali because..well she is just too innocent and cute not to.

Well, that's kinda the thing...Jack doesn't care about being 'appealing' to the eye. Well, not at first glance. I still reckon that outta all the chicks in ME, including the ultra sexed up ones (I'm lookin' at you Miranda) Jack is still the most attractive, especially in facial features.

yes i do like those altho in me3 she has a pony tail with shaved sides so i think i might to a romance with her as i do like it when she opens up to shep good story writing

[G3rman]

I guess it comes down to your preferences, but I just didn't like Jack as far as her looks or her past. I did sympathize but I couldn't find it in myself to find her attractive or appealing for my character.

Although there were more romance options in ME2, I enjoyed the ones from ME1 just a tad better. I guess the "payoff" to me seemed a bit more engaging then in ME2.

I would also support a bit more "love" for the female Shepards as well. Maybe their short list is misleading as I'm only referring to FemShep's options with "human" partners??
Maybe a FemShep player could address this issue better/

I agree with you on both points. ME1's payoff had more impact behind it. The slowly increasing personal tension, the buildup, the "let's break the rules" scene, and the pillow talk after. In ME2, it was a bit more mundane, and the "PRESS F AND HOLD TO CONTINUE" made snuggling a lot less fun than it might've been.

As to FemShep... well, ManSheps have Ash, Liara, Jack, Miranda, Tali, and Kelly; FemSheps have Kaidan, Jacob, Garrus, and Thane. But it's truly not the numbers, it's more about the quality. Only Kaidan and Thane receive a real romantic development; with Jacob and Garrus, it's more sex-oriented, and in a weird way that gave me the creeps. With Jacob, you're the cougar/pervy boss; with Garrus, it's more a friends with benefits with a turian kind of deal. I have the impression that both Miranda and Tali, their counterparts, were executed in a more fulfilling way (though I think almost everyone wished for more content with the characters in ME2 than there actually was.)

When it comes down to it, I guess Ash/ManShep was my favorite het romance in ME1, Jack/ManShep was my favorite in ME2, and Thane/FemShep was my favorite female Shepard pairing (Kaidan having no competition in the first game.) Yet, he still suffered from Carth syndrome--not that I wanted him to have no past, but it feels like a weird double standard when we receive the dead perfect wife and angsty son subplot as many times as we have, whereas a dead perfect husband (Khalid the dweeb from BG does NOT count) and angsty daughter that's still in the picture as a sidequest? Never happened (correct me if I'm wrong). Even worse when he recalls every one of his memories which could come back to haunt him at any time. Eventually it's like, "can't anyone ever just be divorced?" 

So, yeah. Though I'll definitely play through and romance Kaidan and Garrus, whom I hear get a fairly large amount of content in ME3 and may well make me love the idea of them with Shepard again, I could stand to see another good male option for a FemShep. Vega looks promising there. He's not the type I tend to ogle IRL, but he's got a great voice and personality and I think there will be an interesting tension, assuming they go that route with the character.

Raanz wrote...

Playing as a female Shepard, I had a very
tough time with romancing anyone. Probably not due to story or choice,
but just because I had no motivation to do it.

 I was lucky, I think. I made my first ManShep to be the kind of guy I would want to set up a good female friend with in real life, and then Ashley and Jack turned out to be the kind of female characters that I just loved and wanted to see happy. Especially Jack, after all she went through. So romancing her was more about seeing Jack find love with someone who wouldn't hurt her than anything else--and I felt like on my first playthrough, I could get to a satisfactory understanding/friendship with Miranda and Tali, but not Jack; she pushes you away. Romancing her was therefore also a little bit about better understanding a character I loved, in a way that only seems to come out in the romance, where she doesn't shut you down as if you don't care about her even though you've never hit on her.

With my FemSheps who romance males, because I'm a female heterosexual, it feels a bit more personal to me than the other playthroughs, I must admit. But the others... I've still learned to enjoy them by knowing who that Shepard is and working out their preference for the LI in my head. It then makes me happy to see the characters come together, like the pairings in novels, tv, and movies do.

With Thane, I first experienced what others probably felt in romancing Liara. I found the thought of getting close to a fairly exotic alien character to be novel and enjoyable. Weird, but not in the unpleasant sense. But I'd love to romance Feron because he has a personal connection to Shepard, he has beautiful coloring, and he's just so clever and wry and I love his voice. (Uh, not to gush or anything, heh.) Really, even if Thane can be saved, and I will take the option if I can, I'd still like to know what it's like to romance a drell without memories of a near-idyllic love.

A number of these posts are seriously making me reconsider doing another playthrough so I can have Jack as an LI. But I've replayed so many damn times already...

Okay did we see that concept before? Because that's exactly how Jack's new look is in my head! I agree she is beautiful and I've always liked her as a character. 

Anyhoo... 

[G3rman]

I'm pretty sure they said there won't be any new romances in ME3.

Besides, Earth is the place you start at and you have to almost immediately leave it. There isn't much of a chance of getting some random woman/man romanced.

Leaked script. Trust me.

[G3rman]

I have one copy of the leaked script, perhaps its an older one. Is the download/link still working and if so could you PM me?

[DiebytheSword]

I plan on hitting most of the love interests. I have Jack and Tali left to do for Male Shep, and I have Thane and Jacob for Fem Shep.

Here's the link for the spoiler group: http://social.bioware.com/group/5245/

The link to the script is in the comments for it. You'll also be able to find out who all the LIs are by reading the topics.

Thank you, I had found the Miranda group but not this general spoilers.

I definitely agree. The phrase more human than human capture Jack pretty well. She's a microcosm of emotion and human experience like no other character in the entire game's series. A very unique character among the others.
