I think the Jacob thing is hilarious.

Obvious troll is obvious.

No, I legitimately think the Jacob developments are a riot and specifically made sure I had a Kaidan->Jacob->Samantha female Shepard import ready to go so I can enjoy it.  The exalted BioWare protagonist never gets taken down a peg, especially in romances, so I genuinely like that Jacob finds happiness with someone else.

Thane I just never liked and thought he was both boring (subjective) and utterly unfit for the Suicide Mission (he's one of the few characters with precisely zero ideal specialist roles, furthermore all of the combat is overt in nature which squanders his skills).  That said, I don't think his plot comes off poorly in Mass Effect 3, he is and has been dying for a long time.  There shouldn't have been an expectation that he would survive, it was purely wishful thinking.  He got to go out on a pretty high note, though because he does nothing for me I'll probly avoid him entirely and give that moment to Kirrahe.

So to answer the thread question...I don't know? I only played a couple so far.

Now, you all know that too many romance = disaster. ( yeah because to expect so many Li with an equal content is crazy )

Miranda + ashley + kaidan + Thane + Jacob + Jack + Tali, + Kelly, etc etc. Yeah, no. I knew how it would turn for many people infortunately.

It takes money and time, and work. Bioware decided to choose its priority, I am not surprised.

Next time, just two or three Li and that's it.

Well, I suppose that's fair. Your post felt very trollish to me, but your follow-up reply indicates you are otherwise. I (vehemently)disagree with you sir, but you have my sincere apologies.

I wish it was an option. But ignoring him is a must for everyone, even for those who cared. But Kaidan, noooo, he gets mentioned all the time. I was so pissed when Liara asked who Shep misses and the only option was kaidan. Not Mordin, not Thane, but that ****ing Kaidan >.<

Why they couldn't add other options is beyond me.  Add names of all squaddies who died and let player choose!

[fredward55]

For straight femshep she get's screwed with cheating Jacob and Than die's but at least she got to romance Kaidan and have kissy face with Garrus

for straight maleshep he only get's screwed with Tali there some nice dialogue but that about it at least Garrus get a kiss Tali only gets holding hands and a picture for her romance

for gayshep the only thing he gets screwed is that Cortez romance isn't like a porno like Samantha but at least he's got Kaidan for that

for lezshep she only gets Samantha who has little dialogue and no special moments like Cortez and no Ashly for femshep (and on less Bioware count Liara as a lez option instead of an alien thing then she doesn't count)

So people that got screwed are female players that only romance someone for Mass Effect 2 (Garrus first showed up in MS1 so he doesn't count) lesbian players and talimancers

Agreed!  I couldn't care less about Kaidan.  Killed him in every single one of my ME1 playthroughs and haven't looked back.  I couldn't believe he was the only option in that damn scene.

that's becasue he's virmire survivor and they are talking about virmire losses the first major loss that hit close to home that shepard supposedly felt.  not LI's or characters in general - virmire.  you are entiteled to feel what you will and that's why you can chose a second option in that conversation.  would the option to remember all of the dead be great?  sure. but I guess it was one of those things that fell on a wayside.  like my Shepard saying that she didn't see it coming as far as TIM was concerned.

What I meant by that was Thane is plot critical in the sense he saves the Salarian councilor.  However, he only does this if you visit him in the hospital.  If you choose to ignore Thane in the hospital - and here's the part about it being a viable option to ignroe him I'm talking about - Kirrahe just takes his place and saves the Salarian councilor.  The councilor doesn't just die because you decided Thane wasn't important to you.

Though your point is taken too, I didn't select that option either because while the Virmire casualty was a big deal, it wasn't a personal thing for Shepard.  There was a loooooot more to be worried about than one casualty from years ago.

Some more options would have been nice there, sure.  Especially given how many other characters can buy the farm.

[draken-heart]

Jacob, you can't even continue his (not sure about Kelly)

As for Samantha, her job as a comm specialist, and taking care of intelligence on the other species, it keeps her busy, so it makes sense that she rarely leaves the ship.

Which romance got the worst treatment? I'll tell you. Each character from ME2! That's who got the worst treatment, all of them they were booted and it was crap. I mean what was even the point of making new romances for ME2 if they were going to get scraped in ME3. This romance crap has really gotten me peed off seriously. What makes Liara, Ash, and all the others better than the ME2 characters? Their fanbase...crap even the two homosexual choices got a spotlight and they're new. Besides the ending, this is just one more thing that ticked me off.

Garrus got a little love when it's continued but Tali like I posted eariler, you just hold hands and get a picture

[Premier Bromanov]

Probably Jacob, but there's like two lines' difference total between the friendship conversation and the romance conversation for male Shepard and Jack. Then, there's the dancing. I don't know if the "almost-romance" with Samara is even given anything at all. Generally, all the ME2 LIs got the worst treatment.

[KingNothing125]

Wow um yeah, I'm gonna have to go with Jacob. When I ran into him on my first Shep, He was with a woman and got her knocked up... I was like "awesome, congrats", thinking that it was something that he does when you don't romance him (like Tali hooking up with Garrus).

But even if you romanced him, he cheats on you and knocks up some other lady? Yeah, Jacob takes the cake for worst romance. What the F.

[10K]

Honestly I think Bioware has an asari fetish or something. Liara had the best romance scene out of everyone and for what...is it because she's a prothean expert? I just can't fathom none of this. The romances were a nice part in this series and it's just sad that most of the good ones were either snubbed or weren't written as well as they could have been. It makes me wonder what the devopment team were thinking. I don't know, maybe they were in the corner picking their noses instead of actually working.

I've only seen Jack's, left me wanting SO much more since she's talking (sorry about sounding shallow here) several times about getting laid/being a great lay etc and we get what? I don't even get to see us dirty dance! WHAT???... but yea, Thane get's shafted and Jacob goes super rogue. At least give FemShep the choice to kill that cheating s.o.b. That would have been fitting.

[lalaquen]

Admittedly, I have no attachment to Jacob. I never really cared for him as a character, and though he's started to grow on me a bit in my last few ME2 games, I still don't like him as a LI. I saved and did it once just to see what it was like, and it always felt kind of... one night stand-ish, to me. Like it was just a fling. So I didn't really expect much from him in that regard in ME3. But I can totally see why people would be upset; it's only been six months, and he's not only with someone else, but she's pregnant and they're talking about settling down.

I'm torn about Thane's. I absolutely adore Thane, and while his death was heart wrenching, it was also completely appropriate, and I personally feel like my Shep would rather see him go out on a high note, feeling like he had done something good for the universe, than to waste away slowly from sickness. She knew he was going to die, and she loved him anyway - that's part of the whole point of the relationship, to me. That being said, I DO wish that there had been a tiny bit more variation in the dialogue between the LI death scene and the friendship death scene. And that he called her "siha" every time he referred to her, like he did at the end of ME2, rather than defaulting back to calling her Shepard during the non romance-specific lines of conversation between them. I also wish she'd been able to kiss him goodbye or take his hand, or tear up when he died, or... something. Although in some ways I can understand her not, simply because Kolyat was there, and she has/had no way of knowing how much Thane chose to tell him about that relationship or not, and that would be a horrible time to bring his attention to it if he didn't know. At least Thane at least tried to get messages through to Shep while she was under house arrest, which no one else ever mentions doing. So in a lot of ways, I still feel like he cared the most about her out of anyone.

[shenlonzero]

Tali...waited all those years for a stock photo. lame.

[Meeporized]

I think a lot of or rather almost all romances in ME2 were left behind with a few exceptions (the chars from ME1) it's sad to see they focused on just a few chars wich is not really bad at all but didnt even gave us a chance to really enjoy our previous relationships. Like for me i played in ME1 a Male shep without any relationships and in ME2 i tried to get Samara until i later found out your not meant to be romancing Samara. When i started ME3 i was kinda confused because my save told me i romanced Ashley in 1 (yes kaiden had to die ) and no one in ME2 hence i was kind of forced to use Ashley even tho i ditched her (2 times now lol ) and Samara got nothing in the end again except a friggin "handshake" =O

[stwu]

Jacob, if feel so bad for his fans. I never liked Jacob but I did romance him with a renegade Shep just so she could dump his a**. Only to find out that he turned the tables on her. He always was a jerk in my eyes, nobody has sex with Shepard and just forgets about. It's a life changing experience.

Thane. Bioware toyed with his fans. Dropping bit and pieces here, the Cure Thane Banner and the Facebook campaign.

They railroaded all the ME2 characters and then they rectonned Kaidan.

Jacob hands down. I romanced him in my first playthrough of Mass Effect 2 and in Mass Effect 3 Kaidan wasn't interestested in me anymore so I wanted to romance Jacob again and he blows me off and then I find out he has a baby on the way. There was a lot of yelling at my telvesion screen that day.

[coles4971]

Jacob. I mean I don't really care for the guy, but for Jacob fans, seeing him get together and have a kid with some random woman must have been like getting your bollocks/vag kicked in repeatedly.

[nranola]

Wait. So you mean to tell me that Jacob gets with another girl with a baby on the way, even if you romanced him?

...Wow. No wonder Miranda dumped him.

And my second character even romanced him.... I knew I should have gone for Garrus for my second character XP
Not to mention that just makes Jacob to be the biggest jerk ever despite being considered the most stable, level-headed person of the group.

I have to say that I'd like to see the dialogue between Jacob and Shepard in that case. Even Shepard that did not romance Jacob was clearly surprised.

[Link Ashland 614]

Thane's was emotional, can't imagine how FemShep would feel. Jacob's just wrong, you don't even want to get him outta there.
