he currently wants to talk to get a drink with me at the bar in the citadel. did i accidently start romancing him? or am i safe? i dont really want to romance him, but i wanna be his friend and help him get over his husband and stuff cus he's a cool dude

No, you didn't start romancing him. You can only start the romance during the drinking scene if you literally tell him that you want to be with him.

He's super easy not to romance. You can even flirt with him a little and dance with him at the bar and still tell him you just want to be friends. He doesn't even get upset about it.

Is it true that Kaidan does a really melodramatic "NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" if Steve dies? Any videos of it if so?

If he already invited you for drinks, then you already helped him. The drinking scene is him having fun, relaxing and thanking you for help :)

One of the things I really liked about Cortez was how involved he was in the missions.  He's as integral to your success as anyone else you bring along, in fact some missions require his direct involvement to succeed...it really helped to make him feel as much a part of your team as the guys you bring with you to gun down the baddies.  In fact, depending on who you choose to bring, he might actually end up being more involved in your overall adventures than some of your "squad."

(I did think it was kinda funny on Rannoch when he started blasting the anti-air guns and I'm like WTF why didn't anyone tell me that my shuttle had rockets this whole time :blink:)

I wish he had more commentary on some of the "main" priority missions -- nothing to say about the genophage or the geth, Steve?  Really? -- but the upside seems to be that he comments more on your side, N7 missions than anyone else.  I mean, I wish he talked more in general, but then again I wish all my teammates talked more in general so that's not a Cortez-specific complaint.

Yes, Cortez pretty much feels like a squadmate because of his role and I love it. Agree that more commentary would be nice, but then again, if it wasn't for him then basically no one would comment on N7 mission and they would feel even more throw-away then they already do. Plus I kind of like that he basically claims "ownership" of these missions to himself, gives him even more content, screen time and involvement. He's pretty much a pefect example how to do a non-squadmate Normandy character and LI :wub:

OP updated with Isaac's awesome signatures!

If anyone has a really clear shot of Steve (with good lighting etc) I'd love to grab it and add it to the OP (with appropriate acknowledgements!).

I've tried searching but it's hard to find a pic that doesn't have a random custom Shep or terrible lighting.

The Citadel balcony scene has some bits which are nicely shot and decent with lighting

Unfortunately, all the screenshots I have with Cortez are with my customShep, not Sheploo

That's a very good shot lietk12! Steve looks so cute! :wub: BTW, isn't this video yours? www.youtube.com/watch CustomShep in it looks very similar to me and I keep seeing this video everywhere

Some more great pics of Steve for Elite (first one would be good for OP too IMO):

Anything sweetie! :D But I need good Steve/mShep romance videos to make animated romance sigs and I can't find anything :( There are quadrillion Steve/mShep videos on YouTube but they're all either very dark or don't have Sheploo in it and I need a bright from Steve's romance with Sheploo since he's universal for sigs :unsure:

Will keep searching, or hopefully someone here will record the videos? I would do it myself but my laptop's crappy and so the graphics look bad :pinched:

EDIT: Ohh my, I must say I'm proud of myself xD The gif looks sexy in your sig DoubleMMia :3 Yeah I know I ain't modest xD :P


XD You should feel proud! You are a very good gif maker! Oh btw Isaac, if you're still looking for videos with Sheploo and Steve then I have a link here to the whole romance:  Image IPB

Just gotta say that Cortez is pretty good friend to have.


Sure, he ain't Garrus and Vega.
But in his own way, he's awesome.

Cortez. <3

The siggies are awesome. Thanks, Isaac! Good to see some Cortez love!

I need to get back to finishing the game so I can see the conclusion of the romance... As well as the entire game.

After lurking around the forums as long as I have this past week, I miraculously still haven't managed to spoil either. I'm bracing myself. ~_~

I definitely loved Cortez. His romance was touching and he's a great friend for Shepard. Somehow I can't stop imagining him and Vega together, though! xD

Grabbing this sig if you don't mind, Steve's steadily going up as one of my favourite character in this series :wub:

I agree with Isaac. And raising it... For my Shep, Cortez was much better suited then Kaidan (did them both). I don't know why, but he's just right. And Kaidan and Liara as friends - win-win! It just feels "right". You've got a new pilot, your old squad is there. You've entered a relationship with this cool, sexy guy, they are thinking "finally, Shep, you've found someone". Yeah, I like him. A LOT! M.

Steve is a straight up bro in my book. He is no Garrus or Wrex, but still a great character none the less.

Heh, never expected to be a bro with a gay shuttle pilot.

Or have my own shuttle pilot I can talk to at all.

There should've been a shuttle pilot since ME2 already, even if it wasn't Cortez (since he's Alliance). In ME1, Normandy SR-1 could land and travel everywhere so Joker was fullfiling this role of a character the Shep communicates with locally and calls with for quick pick-ups, rescue and transport during the missions and who provides the alot of technical info on the missions. But in ME2 they had SR-2 be too heavy to land in most places and introduced Kodiak for that purpouse to transport Shep & the squad, but they didn't have a character to take the spot in the narrative that was left mostly empty with Joker sitting on then Normandy. So frankly, this seems to me like the most natural addition to the key Normandy crew. Feels weird now to go back to ME2 without a shuttle pilot, it's like "something's missing here" lol

And there should've been explorable Shuttle Bay in ME2 too, with an in-house store. This is one of the aspects that made the Normandy in ME3 feel so much like the one from ME1

That shep looks very similar to mine, but it's somebody else's.

Also, the first pic is a really great shot.
