Default Shepherd has always been male.

The story is really built around a male character.

Just because they give you an option to be a female, doesn't mean they have to bend over backwards for you.  They try and throw you enough bones, no pun intended, to keep you happy, but don't expect near the level of options their original design was centered around.

And why not? The developers of DA:O handled the romance options perfectly in terms of balance.

Different games are different; different story lines are different.

Mass Effect revolves around Shepherd.  DA:O revolves around an origin the player picks and lives through.


And mass Effect was released 2 years before DAO..

 Technically Liara isn't a girl.

Also what about Vega?

[Clayless]

Garrus.

Even straight male Shepard wants Garrus.

There is no canon Shepard -.- stop saying default Shepard is the norm

Secondly, the comparision with DA:O is valid, because the options for romance go way back... Jade Empire?

Apparently you have default confused with canon.
Wow, just wow. It's posts like these that make me wish for an ignore feature.

You really are the angry one when you skip past the part where default and canon are one in the same.

That may be so, but we're talking about romance options in ME3 which was released in 2012.
And I fail to see how the fact that the story revolves around Shepard counters my question. Shepard also has an origin.

Sorry, Garrus only has eyes for canon Shepard, FemShep (see I can do it too).

ROFL. Default does not mean canon. Please familarise yourself with these different concepts.

Jade Empire still was biased to the male role.

As was KotOR if you want to keep going backwards.

[ahandsomeshark]

um these are definitely more options than gay femsheps get.

No they weren't. At all.
In fact, Revan was written with a certain female bias. Revan being "male" was an imposition by Lucasfilm and had nothing to do with BioWare.

Just jumping in.

Try KotOR. Males have bastila, females have Carth and Juhani.

KOTOR had the very nice Juhani...

From Wookiepedia:

"Juhani is the first female character written for the Star Wars universe
that is a lesbian. An error in the first release of the video game
allowed player-characters of both male and female genders to access the
Juhani romance sub-plot, leading some people to believe that Juhani was
bisexual, but the error has since been corrected and the romance
sub-plot restricted to female player-characters"

[Vhalkyrie]

Personally, I do love Kaidan from a gameplay mechanic and why I always choose him over Ash (sorry, girl). His biotics were a perfect compliment to my playstyle as an infiltrator. I was really upset when he didn't rejoin my crew in ME2 because the biotics I needed were split between several characters. He was perfect in ME3, then I lost him again for 3 or 4 missions while he was in the hospital. ARG.

[LilyasAvalon]

I will now sit here until they give me my demanded Kal'Reegar squadie/LI DLC.

Lesbian characters cater to the males playing females crowd.  Always has.

[ibage]

Meh, I'm fine with the choices either sex gets. If it's my ManShep run, I sex up Tali. If I choose FemShep, it's Garrus who is Space Batman. I'm content with those two.

Yeah Juhani was totally there for titilation. I mean, her romance was entirely in side dialogue and somewhat hidden but yeah sure whatever.

If Kaidan and Garrus are dead in ME2, then hetero femshep has zero male options and lesbian femshep has 3.

[XRelakX]

Good for you.

Bioware filled its .1% lesbian gamer quota while actually making sure it caters to 98% of its intended demographic.

Hetero Femshep either go for scumbags, dying killer saints, or 2 high risk guys that can go splat.
