Most of the possible LIs are unstable and would not actually make good relationship material, but not all of them.

Jack: Violent, psychologically damaged. When it comes to women, I don't do fixer-uppers. I accept people as they are and don't try to change them. A woman like Jack is too messed up for a relationship to work. She would have to deal with her issues first.

Miranda: aloof, stuck up, major superiority complex, emotionally distant, insane family situation, has problems with commitment (just read the logs in LotSB of her online dating activity). Also, a fugitive wanted by both the government and a terrorist organization.

Ashley: Not my type, but she has a lot of good qualities. Strength, honor, family values, determination, honesty. The deal breaker for me is the short temper. Never again. She also has a pretty big chip on her shoulder about her father and her career, but I guess that's understandable. Still, she can be pretty prickly and defensive at times when it's not really needed. This one could work if hardcore military women with fiery personalities (and short tempers) are your type.

Liara: A little on the obsessive side.  Clingy at times. Her chosen career introduces some unique challenges to say the least, but I think it could possibly work.

Tali: Probably the most stable of the female LIs and best candidate for an actual relationship. She's been through a lot but she has demonstrated a lot of psychological resilience in the face of the severe adversity, she's courageous, good at heart, has strong family values (despite some of her family drama) and doesn't get bent out of shape about little things at the drop of a hat. She prefers to be diplomatic, even downright gentle when she can be, but is willing and able to put boot to ass when it's appropriate.

My Shepard, for the record, went with Liara.

By problems with commitment, you mean that she isn't actually interested in relationships? My reading of the dating logs was that she never had any intention of getting into a committed relationship

Are you guys serious? I thought the thread was just about general types/archetypes. People and characters can be compared this way.

Sorry if I'm ruining the pillow jokes though. Carry on.

See this is why I haven't participated. Or did I? I didn't look. This is BSN Street.

Who does this cougar romance.... Garrus. I liked the character, mostly, but if he looked differently I'd go for him, but he's so damned ugly. Honestly I went with Liara in most games. I found Kaidan kind of blah. Admiral Anderson might have been interesting, and more my age.

I hesitate to call those logs from a "dating" site. Seemed like a hook-up site.

Her writer confirmed that via Twitter


the link is somewhere deep in the Miranda group

Is there a difference?

Big difference. For one, it's impossible to have committment issues related to a hook-up site.

Probably Ashley, she is the type of woman I would prefer due to spending lots of time around girls like her. Go to any sports club/gym and you'll find it full of real life Ashley's. It's probably the reason I romance her, it's my comfort zone.

On Jack, I probably wouldn't get into a proper relationship with girls like her, but I would defo be up for some friends with benefits deal. Damn, that girl. Wooh.

Are you speaking from experience? Because everyone I've met on a mainstream dating site still moved pretty quickly. Not that I made a habit of it, but there was a period a few years back when I was curious. It was no different than meeting someone through myspace.

Dating sites can also be hook-up sites, but hook-up sites aren't dating sites. Did anyone in Miranda's log mention anything but sex? There you go.

[Daemul]

Wouldn't the site Miranda was going on be the equivalent of something like F**kbook instead of a proper dating site like eHarmony?

Tali, jack, and Garrus seemed to be the serious types (or the kind that had more hurdles and work required).

Ashley and Kaidan's relationships had more hurdles and work required than those. Unless you count inter-speices sex as a hurdle.

Sure, I agree. I'm just talking about ME2/direct comparisons to Miranda.

Ah ok. My bad.

Speaking of Ash though, I agree that you can find these girls in gyms. I've said before that she reminds me of women on softball and soccer teams.

I've never had any chemistry with them though. So, not exactly my "real life" type.

Girls like that are alright to be around, they can get ****y though if you don't watch it. Ah well, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I could see myself going with Ashley. She is a soldier and seen combat. I"m a former soldier and saw combat so we would have some war stories to share. And it would be nice having her with me when I go to the firing range every now and then.

Since I'm not a lesbian I couldn't be with Samantha, but she would make a good neighbor who gives me tips on playing chess.

I wouldn't mind meeting Jack talking about her tattoos and my tattoos.

Tali would be one of the more difficult ones IMO, in that humans and Quarians cannot eat the same food. Then there is the whole problem of smexy time potentially being fatal. To some extent they are physically incompatible.

I'm still confused. Are we talking about the real characters or just the general types they represent? Tali would definitely be too much trouble, literally speaking. But as an archetype, she kind of took over the "adorkable" label from ME1 Liara. That's real enough to make a judgement.

I mean, everyone has a Liara or Jack or Garrus in their life, right?

If we are just talking about personality types I think someone like her would be fairly normal. If we are talking about the actual characters being real, I think there would be some significant obstacles that can't be hand-waived like they are in the game. Ditto for Garrus.

I don't think Jack would be good relationship material either. She'd need a therapist more than she'd need a boyfriend. In the real world PTSD isn't cured by sex.

Well, for me, I'm cool with Steve and Kaidan. Both seem to be nice guys, and we can see just how much Steve cared about Robert. And both have hat edge that well...anyway...*fans self*

Also would not be opposed to Vega. A cocky bastard who can (mostly) back it up (on me any day...) YES PLEASE

Only the shallow relationship with Jack is about sex. Besides, she doesn't have PTSD. She has rage. And an abusive childhood. In real life, I can relate to that. She's one of the more realistic characters to me. I can't stand people who think they're normal and don't have problems. And if they really are normal, I hope they ****ing die.

Jack has PTSD. She is a rape survivor and was horrifically abused as a child, and its clear that both are not in the past for Jack. She is still traumatized by it. In the game however all of that is resolved in the final romance scene, hence the jokes about Shepard's therapy penis.

In the real world I'm sure things would be a little more complicated than that.
