I just want to say that my femshep romanced Thane, and I didn't feel the least bit screwed by the way things went. The whole way it played out was beautiful, moving, and left me in tears at the end. No regrets.
That said I understand why some might feel otherwise, but really he was dying from the moment you met him, you can't really be surprised. Anyone with Jacob got f***** though, badly. I was surprised and a little disappointed, especially as the whole Jacob story in ME3 felt awkward and forced anyway; "we're having a baby" sounded wrong and farcical when Jacob delivered that line (maybe just the VA's fault), I twitch every time.
I wish Allers had just been left as a journalistic sideline (even better, replace her with Wong). I didn't like her, her VA sounded flat, and her model came out... odd.
I loved Shep's relationship with Garrus, but I think the platonic relationship is just as good as the romance (nothing wrong with the romance, everything with Garrus came off brilliantly).
The lesbian assistant felt too much like it was written by a dude who was trying *really* hard to do right and present her as strong and independent without really knowing what that would look like. A for effort and intent, but C+ in execution. Liara's great (though Ali Hills always sounds uninvolved and removed... worked well for her work as Lightning, but made some scenes fall a bit flat as Liara), but she better be as she's the closest to the cannon relationship that there is.
So um, yeah. That's my 2 credits.
I actually thought the uninvolved and distant-thing was intended for Liara. She is the shadowbroker now and preoccupied. She is experienced and a little bitter. She is a member of a long-lived race and over 100 years old and she is expecting everything to end in tears. I felt that even during the love-scene she was keeping her distance a bit. It was just hard to really "get" to her. I kinda liked it - it left me wanting more in the end. In many ways she treats Shepard as if he is already a ghost.
Retour en haut
They do get an awfully smarmy BroMance scene with Garrus, though, on top of the Presidium. He's just probably the best thing ever written ever and no one can deny it. 
if everyone is an option then that means everyone is suddenly bisexual! i like what they did in mass effect where some are clearly gay, some are bi, and some are totally straight. i think it's way better than dragon age's EVERYONE'S BI thing.
But the only reason why they're doing it is because of how vocal we are (someone already brought up them making Tali and Garrus romance options because we all asked for it after ME1) So I do believe that being vocal and saying the things I said is important, because they'll keep making those positive changes based off of what we're saying. I think I just want more quality romances for everyone overall, instead of two quality romances for straight women, one quality romance for homosexual women and men, and five quality romances for straight men. The "bones" they threw to gay men and lesbian women are hardly up to par with what straight men and women (and yes, us straight gals do get great romances, even if we hardly get any to start with)
