I never understood why you'd want multiple romances. I mean you're already fond of Garrus, isn't that enough? I only have one Shepard throughout the series, and one romance; Liara, if she was the only LI avaiable for my femshep, I'd be content, considering that for me, it's adequate. But you're probably different than I am, because the way I see it; you're betraying Garrus of you romance somebody else, not that it matters, because he's a fictional character, but I guess I developed fondness for the characters and mass effect universe. Geez I'm weird, sorry I mised the point of the thread. :P

Good for you, but I personally like roleplaying many FemSheps. Some bi, some lesbian, some straight. I'd like to have a larger panel of possibilities.

I also have multiple femsheps. at this time I have 6..I would find it pretty boring if they all romanced the same person.. and not one of them left a romance for someone else..that's not the point at all.

There's a lot of alignments and choices to make. Just because my canon's a vanguard paragade who goes for Garrus doesn't mean I can't have fun on a renegade soldier who has a thing for Kaidan, or a pure pure paragon sentinel who's all about Thane. I'm fond of the universe. I like puttering around in it and exploring many nooks and crannies as a few Shepards.

Replayability? Taking away straight femshep's choice severly limits replays of the game, especially with the ending the way they are. I'm a Garrus girl but I was going to go back and Thane to see how it was. But knowing that Thane dies AND how they barely mentioned his romance with femShep prevents me from doing that. Why torture myself?

I didn't like how the Jacob romance was handled in ME2, but it could have been corrected and another choice. What they did to him was utterly disappointing, crushing, stupid  and borderline stereotypical. Was anyone at Bioware thinking about the possible implications by having Jacob cheat and have a girlfriend who knew the two of you were dating?

Kaiden died in a lot of my playthroughs so I wouldn't have consequencing to cheating, so I don't have him available. Samatha is cute, but her scenes were obviously for guys, and she didn't get what Cortez got. And I refuse to romance Liara out of protest.

So that leaves femShep with a derth of choices. It's Garrus for me or nothing, and that's only due to lack of choice. If I had Vega, Javick or anyone else, it would have extended the amount of times I played. Now it 's just once or twice all the way through.

And why is it that femShep is the only one who has a LI who dies or cheats? This wouldn't be so bad if it was across the board with broShep, but he keeps all his choices. It's mindboggling.

I just want something other than aliens. We have two males that are the most boring characters in the game.

Yeah sure, I'd be content with just one romance. Thane was what I was content with. I was content with him possibly dying and still remaining my main Shepard's true love. Then he died early without being a romance anymore let alone an important character at all.

I also have no problem playing a Shepard with no romance at all, I play plenty of games that I enjoy without a lick of romance going on.

However, I also think variety is important, especially when it comes to a game with choices and does include a plot option such as romance. People have different tastes and people want to be creative in their head canon's for Shepard. Having a good selection of romantic choices makes the game more open and satisfying, even if what actually happens has little effect on the overall story.

I knew straight Shepard was going to have the most options, but you do have Liara, Garrus and Kaiden. Its a shame you girls don't have James as an option. This is just another reason for gamers who aren't satisfied with the LI in the game to petition for LI dlc.

Don't forget that you can only romance Garrus if you romanced him in ME2. So if Kaidan is dead in ME3 and you haven't got it on with Garrus, you have no options as a straight female.

Awesome.


Really??
That's kinda appalling. :huh:

This is why they need to make James Vega romance DLC.

Oh yeah, that's what happened to my friend. Kaidan was long dead, Garrus was not romanced, and then Thane who she romanced died. So even if she had no problem moving her Shepard on after Thane, there was no one to move on to.

 I know you ladies were dying to give Javik a kiss. Lets not forget Engineer Adams and Kenneth. ;)

Because BW rushed ME3 and is lazy and cheap and spent barely any time on non-Liara arcs, let alone Female Shepard options

I was so looking foward to my Thane import since I put a lot of heart into that particular shepard. Sure the ending was still going to be awful...but Thane's romance would help me get through it right? Welp, I was horrified. I had to stop playing that shepard because Thane's terrible treatment + knowledge of the awful ending made it impossible for me to keep playing. And here's the WORST PART I didn't run into Thane in my first playthrough! So assumed Kirrahe was going to step in front of kai leng again, good lord you should have seen my face.

I absolutely cannot, and will not, get past the appalling revelation that BW "forgot" Thane was a romance in ME2.

WTH?!?!?!?!

You know, if they were so "short" on time and resources, they could have made a couple of male "flings" for femSheps that had their Thane/Jacob taken from them or had Kaidan/Garrus killed or not romanced. Not an ideal solution, but better than assuming femShep is a lesbian and throwing two women at her back to back after Thane's death.

I won't deny this. Javik's abrasiveness only made my shepard go..

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

Without getting too upset the Drell was in the late stages of his illness, lets give him a little break here. Plus he was important to the main story arc anyhow, and I hope you can all one day appericiate that BIoware let Thane die known as a hero to the Salarian people. I know that helped ease his passing into the next life. I still feel all of you, but remember for the male playthrough he was one of his closest friends, and you can tell by the look on his face how deeply it hurt him as well. Hope they make dlc to extend the time you have with Thane.

Ken is a wimp, which is why he's down in engineeering. Javik is okay and at least funny sometimes without intending to be. Javik would probably go well with my renegade.

No, I would have liked to have gotten a strong alpha male with some brains, who is interesting and funny at times. Someone like Wrex.

This is why I support grabbing Javik and forcing him to SHAKE HANDS... I mean, be a romantic interest. No one leaves Shepard hanging. No one.

For those of us who only date humans....there is only one choice. I love Kaidan but I was hoping one femShep could have a relationship with Joker or at least another option...just to add to replayability. :(

 @Karrie788 I think we all want that option lol. Harbinger has been crushing on Shepard since ME1. 10 bucks he purposely "missed" Shepard at the beam run because he couldn't bring himself to do it. :lol:
