Best: The VS, of the two I've only romanced Kaidan but I assume Ashley's is similar. I really loved the story arc. Kaidan's afraid and suspicious of Shepard in ME2 and the beginning of ME3. Then when Shepard has an existential crisis on Chronos Station, Kaidan is very supportive.


I wish they'd altered the whole trust thing a bit (either to make it resolvable in ME2 or adjusted it more if romanced in ME3, preferably the former), but the VS characters were my favorite romances as well - more so Ashley for me since I play male Shep, but I like Kaidan the most for my FemShep.

As for that particular scene, Ashley's response is appropriately more her style -

"Screw those Cerberus freaks, you're real" or "Damn right it doesn't. No matter what anyone says, you're you."  (depending on what you have Shepard say).

Not canon, of course, but I also love Kimberly Brooks' vocal version of her post-Horizon email, really hit home.

----

The Jacob romance is the worst in my mind. Not just in-game, where it sucks for FemShep, but for meta reasons too. Really, Bioware? Turn the black guy into the cheater who knocks another woman up in that short a time period? Ugh.

 Best Romances

1. Tali

2. Liara (as Male Shep)

3. Kaiden (FemShep)


Worst Romances

1. Kelly

2. Miranda

3. Cortez


I just don't like Kelly.  I'm not sure why...:huh:  I romanced Miranda (Renegade) and... I just didn't really like it.  It didn't feel very rewarding.  I haven't tried a Cortez romance but I don't want to.  It just seems so... awkward (I'm all for gay marriage btw).  I'm romancing Ashley in my current playthrough (Paragon Soldier.  Spacer.  Sole Survivor) and as of right now I'm not sure how it would rate against the other romances  I've done.  I haven't romanced Jack, but I'm planning on it with a Renegade Sentinel.

Would you class what Jacob Taylor did as cheating?

Miranda (in ME2)

Worst:
Allers (worst character to ever set foot on the Normandy)

I know, I just wanted him to give Kaidan a big hug after that.

Javik was the best romance for both genders.

Best: I liked Tali's most even though she was quite the damsel in distress.

Wanted - badly wanted: Aria or Samara. Or any of the badass Asari commando squad leaders really.

I don't think Liara is badly done, but I think a several hundred year old Asari would have had much more potential for interesting dynamics, and for a relationship between two true equals. I wonder why BioWare didn't exploit this intriguing feature more.

Favorite:

Liara - I think overall she has the best romance arc if you include LotSB.


Worst:

Diana Allers - Why is she even in the game?

ashley: shepurd y u work wit cerbiris??? i dont know u no more??? why u not try and call me???, blah blah blah.

there seriously needed to be a renegade interupt on horizon in me2 to slap her right across the face.

liara is risking her life to save my body from the collectors, and tali and garrus have had my back since day 1.
all ash can do is whine about me working with cerberus.

Steve Cortez (Rebound and dodgy dialogue, which comes across even worse if your LI is another man during the purgatory scene - be flirty despite LI or say you're straight when you're not)


Hell, I never noticed that. I myself am straight, but now I feel kinda ignorant for not realizing that. You really can't explain to him, how you may be gay but simply not interested, can you?

Best is Liara, worst is Jacob.

Since he's not even a romance option in the third game, and runs off to get some scientist knocked up in a matter of months.

Best: Diana Allers, there's a connection there that other romance options just don't have.

Worst: Jacob, damn BioWare....

Actually, you can if you've already locked in Kaiden when you get to that scene with Steve.

You're still only left with the "Hey I'm eye candy too." which is not something he'd say and "I'm looking at the ladies" which is just a lie.
You can't say something even gender neutral like "I stopped looking at eye candy" or something.

...but still, it's not the same as saying "Regardless of our matching sexual orientation and biological readiness, I still just care for you as a friend."

You know what would be great in that situation with Cortez?

A third dialogue choice. I know, watch out, mad man on the loose.

I wonder why BioWare didn't think of that before, sounds like a feature people would like.

Best: Gabby and Ken, Garrus and Tali. Both are hilarious and fun to watch them develop. I used to romance Ash just to hear G & K before it was patched for this sole purpose.

Medium: Kelly. I so wished she was more developed in ME3, but hey, everyone hates gingers.

Worst: Diana. Only my generocity and tact did not let Javik do his standart procedure for waste disposal.

If fan shipping counts, also Tevos and Aria.

Totally OOC and not plausible.

It would've been fun to see James and Jack's romance develop. Especially since she'd be the, uh, aggressor in the relationship :P
