What's the incentive to buy the DLC, when we know the game ends the way it does?

Allers doesn't get the Paramour achievement and doesn't count.


Nor should that abhorrence of a "relationship."

It's horrifying to think about.

Because ME is fun. Just because you can't handle things not going your way doesn't mean others can't.

I was under the impression that Traynor was female only LI. Besides, Kelly and Allers are not actual LIs, just flings. Out of actual LIs, straight males have one extra over the other demographics. Hetero female: Kaidan & Garrus. ****** female: Liara & Traynor. Hetero male: Liara, Ashley, and Tali. ****** male: Cortez and Kaidan. So yeah, only slightly imbalanced.

If you don't get the romance scene with them on the Normandy, they don't count as ME3 romances.

Because Mass Effect DLC is fun. I get to sling biotics around and shoot bad guys.

They added one lesbian option, along with one gay option. If any demographic is imbalanced, it's the straight male one; everyone else just has two options. so it's balanced except for that one area.

Liara - no need of prior romance
Traynor - no need of prior romance
Allers - no need of prior romance
Kelly - had to be romanced before

MaleShep:

Hetero: 8 total, FOUR can be romanced w/o conditions,  4 more if romanced  on prior games,  0 mandatory deaths
Liara - no need of prior romance
Traynor - no need of prior romance

Traynor is a pure lesbian so maleshep can't have her.

Because the ending is just a part of a whole to me.

I'm not the kind to stick up my nose at additional adventure just because I don't get an 'I win everything' ending.

Also yes, Traynor is not a male option. I tried. Believe me, I tried.

Its the fact that the endings don't fit into the lore of Mass effect.

And who is it that decides what the lore of Mass Effect is?  Bioware.  Anything else is just your own personal headcanon.

They are canon and fit in with the lore just fine.

Well... not quite. Kelly is an actual LI, she just doesn't have enough of a presence in ME3.

Allers doesn't get the Paramour achievement and doesn't count. Kelly does, marginally, but never comes back to the Normandy and is a vestigial presence at best.

Thane doesn't either.

The entire "LI" thing was treated as an aftertought for females hetero or not. Lesbian LIs were in for the teenage fanboy.

I wish I knew that before playing ME3. I usually stay miles away from teenage fanboy games / fanservice. Is not something I enjoy and I resent being dupped into buying one.

Don't think for an instant that teenage fanboys were the only ones who enjoyed that. Certainly not the ones who specifically asked for more of it, nor did anyone ask for any male LIs to be shafted.

Odd that they don't have more considering most players are heterosexual males.

Not "odd," it's rather good. Though a somewhat better balance would be ideal.

I'm rather annoyed ashley wasn't an option for femshep like kaiden was for maleshep.
