Random thought just popped into my head. Having been so upset about the endings I forgot about another issue I had, though it really isn't that important. Regardless, did anyone who romanced Liara notice a couple of your interactions with her didn't make sense if you had completed the shadow broker DLC? Such as not seeing me in years and calling me a 'friend' over and over again. Seemed a little disjointed to me. was anyone else slightly bothered by this?
Basically what Bioware did with the romances was to reset them all to zero. It doesn't matter who you romanced in the past, you have the choice to get anyone now in ME3 (from the choices offered of course).
When I first heard about the romances in ME3 I thought they would play a major part in the campaing, and that would be a lot of drama, for instance you romanced Ash in the first and Miranda/Jank in the second, they would actually fight each other to see who gets you. Instead, nothing happens, and if you were unlucky to romance Miranda or Jack and decides to be faithful to them in ME3 basically is sums up to nothing, since you don't get a chance of romancing them..
And if you were faithful to only one romance, since ME1, it still doesn't matter, because the others romanceable characters will make a pass on you. Including Cortez... (PS. I thought the gay romanceable was Vega, not cortez for a while).
When the game was announced and it was said we would have less companions I was fine with that, since we would be able to better focus on the companions we had. But I believed we would be given the choices of wich companions we would pick. When the game began, I had to go around recruiting Doctor Chakwas, and all the others crew members I thought it was interesting and made sense too.
Then Miranda contacted me and I hoped I could recruit her, same thing for Samara and JAck, but no, they just add as war assests and that was poor writing. My Sheppard had romanced Ash in the first and Miranda in the second, but I never got the chance to hook up with Miranda at all..All I had were a few lines to say that were different from the basic converstation, so what was the point of having Miranda (and I guess Jack too) as LI if it doesn't matter in ME3?
About 90% of us is saying that the game is great, some even perfect, before the ending. Though I want the ending to change, I think the rest of the game is far from perfect. There were too many plot holes, big enough to swallow the entire sol system. The RPG elements were less present and watered down on this game, and the romances, even though took a huge part of the game, felt empty and meaningless. We talk about how the ending didn't give us any choice, but the RGB version of the one ending, but if you play close attention to how the entire game develops, you will see that overall, we didn't have that many choices in the game.
