Could be any number of possibilities. A cure for Thane, saving family members, more backstory, romantic encounters ect. It just makes me hungry for more DLC's to release and hope they do not trickle out too slow that interest wanes...that and as much as I enjoy the multiplayer...not fully focused on it.
Would you buy a Romance DLC or Story Driven DLC and what would you want to see in it? (don't say new ending) *Possible Spoilers**

No. I want new romance content to be incorporated into new adventures, like it was in LOTSB, or be an addition to new adventures.

I brushed upon this topic and recieved some interesting responses in the Tali Romance thread so thought I would open it up more to other people whome felt they were scorn or wanted to see expanded romance / story and backstory as a focus of a DLC and what kind of interest it would generate. I've personally never seen a DLC focus purely on story before but I know I would certainly pay for one if the content was there. As far as a 'romance' DLC the possibilities are endless beyond just that of another intimate cut scene. A few off the top of my head were..
-Bringing back calling a love interest up to your quarters given the possibility for it to happen.
- Using other portions of the ship such as the various lounges, perhaps even a poker game that focuses more on the dialog then the shuffling of cards.
- Expanded dates upon the Citadel
- Dates and expanded conversation that might touch more into the backstory, interests, and tidbits of knowledge about various LI
- Possible comments and conflicts of being with said love interst (qurian views of human / quarian relationship as an example)
- Gifts and possibly alternative purchasable outfits from the various shops and other things added to the quarter be it recieved gifts or bought.
Curious to see what other people think of. I know this might of been better suited in ME2 when the galaxy was less in chaos but could be plausable in ME3 especially if peppered throughout the game or for those whome beat it just something to explore before the end. Would also give a chance to further expand to those who felt they were not given a fair chance with their romance option from ME2, granted things with Thane would have to happen before unfortunate demise.
Looking forward to comments and expansion on this. Please keep it creative and well thought out.
to be honest, i was disappointed with the romance with kaidan. they already took him away in ME2 and said there would be a passionate return... but instead he was gone for the first half of the entire game! i had to play 12 hours without him and when he finally did join the normandy, there were only what? 3 cut scenes and the rest of the conversations didn't have any interactions... i was very disappointed so YES! i would love a romance DLC where this is expanded. i just wish there was more to the story between shepard and kaidan. they could make a loyalty mission with him, for example looking for his father who went missing or just simply more conversations with him, like with liara, who i think is the best romance option for anyone looking for in-depth character development.
*sigh* i really wish they will change/add to the kaidan romance. i don't care about the ending if this gets fixed.

I can understand where you are coming from Arathyl. I felt the same about Tali though her return felt powerful and was happy to have her back..it just precluded heading towards the end of the game without having as much time with her as I really wished.
I think what IsaacShep will be the possible fortunate and unfortunate reality of seeing more romance options with it being just a flavor added like it was in LOTSB but time will tell. If that ends up being the case something tells me a lot of romance options will just be swept under the rug.

My idea for a romance DLC would basically work like a reversal of the loyalty missions throughout the series.
Basically it would involve your LI approaching you (via e-mail or on the Citadel) with some info on somebody/someplace from Shepard's past and an offer to personally help him/her resolve it. What I liked about the ME2 loyalty quests was just how personal they were and forced these strong and confident people to completely shed their emotional armor....this would be Shepard's turn I suppose. Throughout the mission your LI offers support and dialogue reflecting on all their moments together since their first meeting and what went through their minds. (Tali would perhaps again mention you helping her on pilgrimage in ME1, etc.)
As for the setting I think it could take place on Mindoir, which would obviously take care of a premise for Colonist Shepard wanting to help his old home from a new tragedy all while facing his past again (maybe some flashbacks of the Batarian raid?). It could also work as a setting for the Spacer and Earthborn Shepards....there may be an old Alliance ship/platoon from Spacer Shepard's younger days, and for Earthborn Shepard he could be pursuing an old member of the 10th St Reds or from his orphanage.
....as long as I see Tali's actual face, I'll be happy.

true true... much of the romances in the third mass effect were just brushed on. there could be so much more story to each character. let's hope for the best, and as you said, time will tell.

I agree with IssacShep, I'd like to see that incorporated, but not standalone.
LotSB is a model citizen of DLC, and should be emulated whenever prudent.

As much as I want individual missions for each LI (new one for James included), this might be easier/quicker for them to accomplish, as they would only need one mission setting and then to slightly alter it depending on your LI. And then at the end of the mission, there is a different romance scene for each LI.

Something completely different and surprising, like Project Overlord was. I think Overlord falls into this category of DLC as well.

my thoughts exactly, a mission central to Shepard would be easiest for them to make....as great as a lot of these other ideas are, they're too specific to too many LI variations and would force them to make a mission for every individual of which only a fraction of players who romanced them would have it applicable to their story.
Having it focus setting wise on Shepard would make it simple for them to just "cut and paste" whatever LI you have and allow them to devote more to their dialogue while keeping the rest of the mission and action more or less the same.

Yeah that'd be swell. As for what I'd like seen in it, I'm a bit torn. On one hand everyone seems to want for their current LI to be expanded while on the other hand I'd prefer to have new ones open up for both Mshep and femshep. Just to be fair. And as for femshep, more hetero romances. It doesn't make much sense to me to open up romances for femshep with brand new characters where there already exist several who have been there for you through the games. I really think the Miranda and Jack romances for mshep could be largely expanded on.
And if I were to be completely biased I would have liked to see Joker become a LI. It didn't make sense to me that he would use the uniform/rank thing if femshep's argument to Joker if you decide to set him and EDI up is carpe diem. If they meant for Joker to express zero interest they really shouldn't have added in the 'alternate universe' and 'rock your world' thing along with 'while we're both in uniform it wouldn't work.' I mean there are other more finale ways of just saying 'no'.
Being shot down by both Joker and James was just a real kick in the teeth and felt really unnecessary to tease the players with those little moments. I know that the whole Joker/EDI thing is super popular but it wouldn't break the game to open up either of those characters (the other being EDI) as romantic options.
And since it wouldn't take away the option to set them up regardless, I don't see why Joker or EDI couldn't also be a romantic interest.
I was content with the romance in ME3 for the most part, but I always felt like there could have been more content.
Especially after Thessia. And after the citadel dates.
The option to invite them up to your cabin would be nice, especially if it opened up new dialogue so you can talk to them more and learn more about them.
I really miss the loyalty missions from ME2 and to a lesser extent the ones from ME1. I know they were small missions like getting Wrex's armour back, but they were still fun. I know it doesn't fit into the whole time constraint with ME3 what with there being a war, but there were so few worlds you could actually visit and walk around in. Having something to make up for that would have been nice. When I learned we would be visiting the alien home worlds I thought that meant for a little longer than one mission until it would be taken over by reapers. |: A shame.

Romance DLC? No. But a DLC that included romance? Sure.
I wouldn't mind them including a DLC that had importance to the story where someone could rekindle a romance from ME2.
For instance, doing a Thane DLC (cuz he got way shafted for screen time and story-wise, let's be honest) would be good; it doesn't have to be about a cure. It could be about something to do with the war effort that takes place before his heroics. Do his mission before the Citadel coup and you get the extra content and possibly some bolstered EMS points... if you don't, then you miss it.
Doing a DLC like this might help satisfy more players because they'd get more content with a select few people. Obviously not every character from ME2 can (or should) get this. An alternate version could be doing one with Miranda after Sanctuary (which doesn't center on Oriana but something Miri discovers that would help with the war efforts). But I think you get the point.
Also, this could help BW fix the problem of having MP affecting SP by offering more of a chance to get a higher EMS if they still refuse to adjust the number required to get the optimal ending scene.

That would be completely amazing.
Like the others in this thread, I'd like more Thane time in any character DLC. I'm pretty happy with Garrus. Still feel he got the best romance in ME3. Pacing was spot on, lines were perfect, he always had that little something extra to say. Everyone should have had it as good as the big guy. I'm getting there's some wierd hiccups with pacing with Kaidan. And daaaaaang, someone do something about poor Jacob. What a trainwreck that is. Jack needs a bit more talking, though she's not in as dire a straights as the ME2 boys. Miranda needs to breath instead of going "ORIORIORI" nonstop. Ash... Well, my biggest objection is that it's really annoying that you barely get to talk to her as a friend, to be honest. Kelly needed more talking. And a kiss. Sheesh, THAT'S your big conclusion?
Having Vega, Joker and Samara available would rock. Samara holding hands isn't QUITE what her crew was hoping for, nor is "I would rock your world if it wasn't for regs" from Joker. And Vega chickens out.
The biggest problem with it being one mission is what a kerfluffle it is figuring anything out until the true love flag plunks down. And Thane and Jacob throwing a monkey wrench into things by not getting an achievement for anyone. And Vega, Joker and Samara further muddying the waters.

No.
I'd rather DLC focused expanding other aspects of the game besides the romances. Besides romance-specific DLC would be a bit silly in that it would only be of interest to fans of whatever character it was focused on. It makes much less sense to develop that sort of DLC than one that is potentially of interest to the entire fanbase.

Liara is the only character lucky enough to get one. They couldn't bring back ALL the love interests for a DLC. Whoever they bring back, other people will hate because their favourites were left out.
So no. Fix the ending, give us the Take Back Omega DLC, and some other mission/objective which would be interesting.

Absolutely. I would 100% purchase this DLC.
--Expanded conversations/affectionate behavior with LIs, especially those from ME2.
--Expanded conversations with squad members. The relationships that were there in ME1 and ME2 just weren't carried through well in ME3.
--Ability to work more with ME2 squad members....Grunt, Miranda, Thane, Jacob, Jack, etc. More loyalty missions.
--Dancing with LI, yes please.
--Non-craptastic cuddling animations. The bed-cuddling in ME2 was fine, but the couch-cuddling honestly looked about as ridiculous as the shower scene with Traynor in ME3.
--Most importantly, a DLC where we can SAVE THANE!! Maybe we go with him to Kahje to find some scientist who has found the cure for Kepral's Syndrome. Maybe Kahje is getting attacked by the Reapers, or the scientist has been kidnapped, etc. Something. Just something.

-Kromance (m/f, m/m, f/f, anything is fine with me)
-Alien LIs for gay Shepards (no, I don't count asari as alien LIs, they're just blue humans AFAIC)

Thane and Shepard (romanced in ME2 of course) go to see a desert, some action on the way or on the way back and eventually go check by themselves how Kahje is doing. Possible to bring back a hanar mate who could attend to Thane's health care and test on him the latest progress in his desease's cure on Normandy.

I would buy any future story related/Romance DLC but with the bad taste of the ending in my mouth I would not pay $10 or 800 MSp for it. Here are my ideas:
1) For Bioware just an friendly idea, to soften the blow on Premium DLC what ever price of any upcoming Future DLC was going to be cut it immediately in half on release day. Too many still feel the burn and other do not like the current EC ending altogether. The EC was a start but more must be done to win back fans. You can not have all DLC Free, Programmers have families to feed, but keep a slim profit margin keep it for example 3-5% above cost.
2) Every piece of DLC must also raise the Galctic Readiness of a particualr sector for single players. Example if there is a Omega DLC then it shouls raise the Terminus Systems rating from 50% to 100%. So there should be atleast 5 of them, one for each sector. I have only one achievement left and it MP related and that is to the max the readiness in all sectors.
3) Since there is a vast collection of many ancient ships in Galactic core, have a DLC to travel back to the Galactic Core with the Normandy and collect some specialized tech, may be even collect some left over Collector Tech. Some Tech from the races that where around when the protheans where at their peak. Heck even blow up some Cerberus ships doing the same thing at the galactic core.
4) Also throw in a chance to have a ME2 Love intrest join you on the ship and on a specific missions, more closure with ME2 characters that got limited screen time. Have some banter, between shepard and the LI. Like Miranda and male Sheaprd crossing paths on a Cerberus raid. Those are some ideas now.

Attention Romance DLC fans!
As a result of the popularity of the Romance DLC thread and polls on BSN and HTL, folks over at HTL have combined all the suggestions and made a new, more in depth survey.
It will only take 5 minutes of your time, unless you like to make comments, and we hope to get even more responses than on the BSN polls.
Results will be analyzed, summarized into a report, and sent to Bioware.
If you want to be heard on this issue, this is the best way to do it!
Please take the survey!

Yes, I would. The more the merrier. I'd really like to see some more of Miranda. Can't get enough of her. Sad that they didn't put her into ME3 in a larger capacity. Felt lacking, considering the treatment that some of the others got. And the way Liara kept intruding on my quiet time....erg!
But, I don't want just LI romance. I want story too!
