I wonder what Andrew Ryan would think of the choices in Mass Effect.

Bringing it back to femshep, I would have added Vega as a squad die LI and either Kenneth or Adams as a Tray nor or Cortex option.

As I said, I'd add a human male character that is like Han Solo, Jack Harkness, Robin Hood, etc.

Wait, why does Thane care about your socks?

DOES THE SMELL AFFECT HIS RESPIRATION PROBLEM?!

Not necessarily. Some hold moisture better than others.

Kenneth is fairly roguish...but I was working within the confines of who we already have.

Eh, that's a pretty worn-out character type, though, and elements of that personality can be found scattered between Zaeed, Garrus, and Thane. 

[MassivelyEffective0730]

I don't think it's worn out. Granted, if I were a woman, the type of man I'd want is a combo of Commander Shepard (the way I play him) and the Doctor (9 and 10). Still, I like the guy who's independent and criminal, acting as a general Rogue and Scoundrel.

The str femShep romances will be a sore spot in ME3 forever. They tacked Vega as a one nighter in the Citadel DLC as an afterthought (Ooops!) and hey they gave us the possibility of Javik! okay now we made up for Jacob and Thane.... guess again. Well technically Thane shouldn't have been a romance possibility anyway in ME2. They just should have given Zaeed a full face, but it would have taken away from his backstory. And to be fair how about having Miranda cheat on Shepard, too. We lose the prize, you lose dat ass.

What's wrong with his face? Do you dislike scars?

[Shya]

Mshep gets better lines when he goes to see Ash if she is his LI. Femshep on the other hand gets the non romance lines for Kaidan. Sooooo not fair.

[Nightdragon8]

yea I agree Fshep got shaffted when it came to the romance stuff, Jacob goes with another girl. Thane dies, Kadian may not be around. So either you had to go lesbian* or be with Garius or Kadin(if alive) so really

Well you can say that Fshep had the more dramatic, soap opera-equise romancies

As an avid femshep player I think the only character I have no intention on romancing is Jacob, he just isn't a particularly interesting character to me. Personally, I think both sides have some solid romance options. Garrus and Tali being the most interesting ones for each gender, at least to me.

I remember back in the day when you only had Carth or Bastila to romance depending on gender. Now that was limited.

The scars run deeper than the skin. Ask Kelly. "He's surprisingly well balanced. Still, I wouldn't want to be alone with him."

[AustereLemur799]

I really don't think that it's a competition of numbers here. Quality over quantity, right?

I actually don't know of anyone who was completely satisfied with their romance arc come ME3. It was all better when things were open-ended and still with hope (i.e. before ME3).

On a personal note: I'm really not satisfied with the 'it's the journey; not the destination'. It may have worked, to an extent, in Star Trek: Voyager. However, that really doesn't settle in the real world. I wanted an end-game; a final result; a conclusion - a purpose to live for. A kick-in-the-teeth practically kills the trilogy's replayability (again I'm just talking from a personal point of view) when you know the kind of BS waiting for you at the end.

That said; there are a lot of unhappy endings in life, yet happy journeys. Many have said that they would redo things all over again, even knowing that only misery lay at the end. I suppose Javik's choice with his memory shard is a metaphor for all that.

I couldn't actually pick up ME1 again

Then, how do you see a "compromise" between him and Allers if there were crew unity? Besides, your Commander Shepard, why are you copycatting the reasoning of a redhead who is unpopular for unknown reasons?

[thehomeworld]

I played through ME then realized nearly at the end of the game, " I'm still single!" It was more of a epiphany then anything else because I didn't like Kaiden or Liara. I wanted Garrus only so she stayed single. My male shep's romances were of no concern for me as there again was no one I thought would give him happiness.

My next fshep went with Kaiden cuz he was there and Garrus wasn't.

By ME2 I was so thrilled and surprised by Garrus and Tali being LIs I wanted Garrus since ME but Tali was a shock I wouldn't pass up she was so nice and I was mesmerized by her stories of home. I never thought of her that way but Kelly said she liked him and I thought this is his girl it has to be!

But yeah I was irked beyond belief in ME3 when shep was pretty much made a lez by default if you didn't import Kaiden or Garrus and I could more then see where they wrote out or wrote off her ME2 male potentials. I mean Jacob's excuse was the most unorigional of them all and a deliberate thing. I was waiting to see whom would be her new male options and I was thoroughly irked and and angry at Vega his whole attitude and his flirting thinking he was one and wanting nothing more then to eject him and my possible potential of the only male LI on ship along with Miranda into space but then I didn't even have to worry he was just written to stop short anyway.

ME3's treatment of the fem hetro base was horrible and blatant slap in the face similar to how the whole treatment of the fem ME2 crew's outfits went with it just saying how much they don't respect their fem base and now they don't respect or care about their fem hetro base just really didn't and doesn't sit well them pulling the whole, " Well budget and time issues" here is crap. I can see where they rushed several things unrelated to the LIs they should've just delayed the game instead of just steam rolling it through so ME3 ends up an OK end to the trilogy rather then a great one.

I was completely satisfied   But my FemShep's romance interest was Garrus, who after Liara, got the lion's share of squaddie content.  Arguably Garrus was better in some regards since his dialogue changed more from romance to friendship.

While I'm satisfied with my specific romance arc, the way the romances were handled in general was quite unsatisfactory.  Some characters will always be more popular or plot-relevant and have more content.  That's fine.  But that isn't a valid excuse for shunting the other characters aside.  Alistair and Morrigan of DA:O had more overall content and plot importance than Zevran or Leliana, yet Zev and Leliana had just as much care and love put into their characters, even with less screentime.

Hey, just an FYI, using the word "lez" is homophobic. STOP. It's a slur.

seriously? its slur term now? god i hate society sometimes...

[KeraWildmane]

I genuinely prefer the Garrus romance to any other. The way it starts as two people who feel alone and betrayed finding comfort (and some fun) in the one person left that they can trust and grows into an incredibly loving relationship is just wonderful. The whole thing just feels incredibly genuine.

...Also I have a major thing for turians.

Replaying ME3 I am starting to get discomforted with something the writer's deliberately (and to again deliberately insult the female fanbase) did to femshep. So I have a question: Why is Garrus not romanceable for femshep in ME3 but a relationship for him and Tali was specially thrown in ME3 (resources spent up especially for this)? I wonder if any of the writer's daughters/wives/gfs play the game and said daddy/honey why is femshep so mistreated in romance department.

For femshep to have a romance with Garrus in ME3, you have to have a save import from ME2 with femshep romancing Garrus.

Same for maleshep wanting to romance Tali.

[jtav]

Yeah, Garrus isn't unique here.

I personally do not feel screwed over, though I'd feel differently if I romanced Jacob and not Thane. I don't give a damn about achievements and Citadel gave me the emotional validity I was looking for. I probably should be bothered by the raw numbers imbalance but Sam and Thane really work for me, while only Miranda really works on the MShep side. Mileage will vary here, of course.

One long but belive it or not shorted and obviously paraphrased reason is:

It was done because for the absolute rage fest that was created when they were foundout to be LIs for their respectives sheps in ME2 fans of the pair were delighted while those who hate them went, " Why you spend all the rescourses on dextro loving BW?! Why not let us have (insert fav crew or npc here)". There was a thrid set who was for the s/s and were outraged that Tali wasn't a potential for fshep due to her linking suits dialouge that can also be explained via Rann linking suits with her mom the practice in that light was friendship not lover and lots of fans took it as the former not the latter form of suit linking social paramiters due to the storm and confusion this line created  and then a fourth set made worse by stating team dextro shouldn't even be crew mates cuz they hated them vs those who thought them valuable and great company obviously the huge fight on all sides for how should team dextro love  and work be handled in 3 BW said, "Screw it we're done!" and made them import only LIs and then compromised by having them be on crew. Trying to satisfy as many parties as possible. Keep in mind this slaughter fest was months and months on going and probably one of the few other reasons the love section got shut down.

[von uber]

I had wondered why the romance forum was closed.

[Massa FX]

Less than 20% of the player base is female. So... I suppose they scaled the hetero romance options down to allow the more than 80% playership more romance options.

This sucks for us. I've relied heavily on RPG games giving me equality on all levels, not realizing that sometimes dev's really do pay attention to the numbers and adjust accordingly.

If more of us (women) played hard core vid games would dev's change? Probably not. Kaiden, Jacob, Thane and Garrus. Poor Femshep... Betrayed by 2, 1 is dying and 1 is biologically incompatible. IDK. Art imitating life?

Depressing as ****.
