This is what we in the biz refer to as a "strawman", and not even a very good one. Why stop at cutting story and dialogue? If you're going to embark on a childish, hyperbolic rant, why not go the whole way? Cut combat too -- only real world combat matters.

Mass Effect 3 is not a dating sim. That's not to say that i don't enjoy the romances or find them to not add anything to the characters and story, but a 'romance DLC' sounds rather sad, and by choosing that title you demonstrate quite clearly what you want out of such an add-on.

A DLC that gives some of the characters that were rather neglected some interesting things to do would be welcomed... but this should happen for reasons other than some fans want to get their pixelated leg over. If an interesting DLC mission can be thought of, and the writers can find a way to involve the likes of Thane or Zaeed or Grunt, then that would be okay. Just writing them in because some people aren't feeling loved in real life would be a mistake, and a detriment to the Mass Effect series.

I agree with you, if they made this DLC it would not be called a 'Romance DLC' because the main thing about it would be having side missions with the ME2 squad members so that everybody can buy it and enjoy it. But a very important part of this DLC should be fixing the relationships that were forgotten or misstreated in ME3, which are the ones involving the ME2 romances. It's not just for our personal enjoyment, it's for having a decent story, complete and coherent with the previous game.

@ coldi -- BTW, I put in a link to your second set of ideas on the initial post, as well.

QUESTION ABOUT POLLS:
There have been multiple posts requesting a poll option so players can select "all" for what is essentially question #3. Changing that poll at this point would be a bad idea, and I apologize that I didnt' think to add this option.

However, I could add a 5th poll question that basically says "I think that the treatment of all LIs in ME3 could use improvement." Then yes/no.

Would people like to see this?

Thanks @giftfish.  I did add it to the end of the original post, but the formatting did seem to get away from me a bit, so it may be too much work on the eyes.....my bad. 

You have my support for any polls you wish to do, so why not!

At this point(post-EC) there is literally two things missing from the Mass Effect universe.
1. Voice acting from Crispin Freeman
2. Kasumi romance

[Mimine]

A big +1 for the Romance DLC.
I am Thane-conquered territory and was sad not to see more romance scenes in Mass Effect 3 than the imposed "oh, Thane, you're weak and dying... well I'll go see Kaidan then!"
/puke (my apologies to Kaidan's fans but I've got a fetish for aliens =D)

[Biztip]

+1 for Romance DLC as well.
But given the correct background, Shepard's LI needs to meet Shepard's Mom. (baby pictures and embarrassment is optional)

[Jordan2]

+1
mooooar romance

LOL.

It would be nice if this pack comes with new achievements.

* One new achievement for each character romanced. Ex: "Psycho-biotic Lover" (Develope further the romance with Jack); "Cheerleader Lover" (with Miranda); etc.
* An achievement for being loyal to your LI throughout the trilogy called "True Love". Wouldn't work for Cortez or Samara.
* An achievement for cheating your LI (lol).
* An achievement for not romancing anybody throughout the trilogy.

All of this, packed with new content for all LIs (and side-missions for specific LIs) would definitely give players a reason to replay the game several times.

[MajorKellyRisner]

I approve

[Terrorize69]

Can't find the post about Kasumi shouldn't be a LI option cause shes happy with blah blah.

Seriously have you seen her slide for 2 of the endings, she mops about alone in a room while the Galaxy is celebrating, she deserves better then that. Shepard should of had the chance to help her move on by filling the hole in her heart.

A large amount of the LIs, Shepard plays on their tragic past or loyalty mission to get them into bed etc lol.. no reason Shepard can't do the same for Kasumi >_>..

*ME2*
Thane: *Cries after to your room* I'm sorry, I'm thinking of my dead wife...
Shepard: Let's sleep together!

Ok not quite how it does lol but something along those lines.

Throughout ME2 Kasumi shows signs of interest in Shepard, and Jacob.. well even Kasumi isn't perfect...

Can we add a Romance with Javik for the people that are interested? I know alot of people who would love their Shepard to fall for Javik.

We've put him on the list.  Had several people request him at this point, so he'll now get boldface type :]

Yeah, most "romance" plots are simathy sex.
1. I am not getting a promotion since my grandfather saved a whole army
2. I failed at C--Sec and failed at Omega
3. I am not perfect
4. I am antagonisitc towards everyone so nobody likes me.

The best ones:
5. Miranda deserves someone better so I'll bang you instead
6. No decent woman around since Eden Prime so I'll go BI.

From my perspective only the Liara and the Tali romance made sense. Naturally I have 3 Shepards. One Liara romance. One Tali romance. Third: Full-Paragon War Hero seeking japanese thief till endgame self-sacrefice. Call now

[Omega Torsk]

Awesome thread. I agree with most everything in the OP. However, I'd like to suggest more LI content for the VS as well. It was severely lacking after you recruit them after the Cerberus coup and before the pre-ending romance scene (aside from the slew of ambient dialogue, which was just disappointing).

But yeah, great job on organizing everything, and I'll be sure to vote in the polls.

Signed!

I don't really expect a Romance DLC, and agree that I don't want my ME experience to turn into a dating sim, but I do wish that, whether directly or indirectly, future DLC would integrate and add more meaningful interaction and romances with our LIs and characters, especially the ME2 ones.

Incorporate them interactively into the last mission; let them be a squaddie for at least one point or mission in the game, even maybe the final one. And for goodness' sake, give Miri a new set of clothes.

Edit: oh, and even if I have to wait for the last DLC (take your time), Tali's face....yes.

I fully support this. A Romance DLC would greatly increase ME3's replayability. I apologize if any of my suggestions have already been stated, but I didn't read through the entire thread and didn't see any Ashley specific suggestions in the first post. Anyway, what I'd like to see for Ash...

1. The conversation about Shepard's death and whether or not he remembers anything to be reinstated. I think this would greatly add to Ashley's ME3 character. I'd also enjoy it if this were an opportunity for Shepard to reinstate his beliefs or lack thereof.
2. A conversation with Sarah. I know she's in mourning, but I felt that this was a missed opportunity. Shep and Ashley are standing right there and Ashley isn't going to introduce him to her sister?
3. More Skipper. If Ashley uses the nickname at all, I can't remember.
4. Alternate Appearance with Ash's hair back in a bun. I don't hate her new look, but still think it would be nice to have the option to go back to the old one.

[disc0nnect7]

Yes, yes, and yes please.

[Yokokorama]

Really hope we can get a BioWare post in here (from the ME team) to at least see whether something like this can potentially be put on the table.

[Krantzstone]

+1 for ME dating sim.

[DannieCraft]

I want more time with Ashley, she's gone for more than half of the game. I want to be able to read from the poetry collections I bought for her at the hospital. I want more conversations, not just a "commander" from her when passing by her room for a chat. She and Shepard got plenty of stuff to talk about, not just feelings, but family - Shepards family, plans for the future and what will happen if this truly is the end. Though sometimes less is more. I don't want longer love cut scenes and all that, it is the up and close conversations I'm petitioning for.

But fact is I want more conversation options over all in ME3.

[Commander Castillo]

Liara needs more screen time. Also they should bring back the full conversations that you could have with your crew in ME2
