Since some people prefer alien romances, and femshep may get two compared to mansheps one.

Yes, but are there enough of them to warrant creating two male aliens for female players?

Dinkamus_Littlelog wrote...
The only solution? Samara is the fourth, bisexual romance swooping in to save the frikkin day. Not everyone likes Tali, and her being the only alien love option for mansheps is hardly "compelling".

Ahh...the good old asari safety net. Not that I'm against Samara at this point anyway. Actually, if it's between her and Garrus, I'm picking Samara in a heart beat. Ditto on the Tali comment, though.

Just out of curiosity...where was Samara hinted at? I think I might have missed that one

I don't know how many times I've typed this, but here goes lol. Ok,
there's a few things, that lead us to believe she is a romance.

1.)
Look at how the developers rendered her. Sexy, seductive, etc. I doubt
Bioware would do that just to tease us and make her off limits.

2.)
A lot of people think there are only 3 romances per gender because
that's what Casey said in an interview. However, right after saying
that he said "If I can count correctly!" and "There are a lot of
surprises there that I won't say." Now, why would Casey, the game
director of all people, not know all the romances? No way. So I think
he was teasing us, and knows more than he let on, so I believe there
are more than 3 per gender. I'm almost positive he was just teasing.

3.) A Dutch magazine who previewed
ME2 recently had a separate paragraph about Samara. In it they said
"She is a romance option."

4.) The recent G4TV video that just
aired about character relationships. Right when Casey started talking
about "romantic relationships", first person they showed was Samara (sexy music and all),
then showed Tali, Subject Zero, and Miranda. Then they showed Samara a
second time while talking about romances. This heavily implies she's a
romance.

Really? More evidence supporting Samara than Garrus? I wouldn't be so quick to say that. Yeah, you guys have an article, but wasn't that in another language? I'm not keeping up to date on the Samara situation, since there's just so much stuff coming in about Garrus~

Evidence supporting Samara:

1) An article in a magazine saying she is a romance option.
Yes, it's in a foreign language, but I've seen the scan. It's a tiny separated section that has two sentences next to Samara's face. It says there are more squadmates and thusly more romances in the first sentence. The second sentence says "Samara is one of them." Grammatically there is no need to mention romances in the previous sentence if they weren't referring to it in the second sentence. So, either the writer is incompetent, or we have a nice, big piece of evidence.

2) G4's Romance "Friends and lovers" video.
This has a whole lot of Samara sauntering around when they're talking about love interests. Not proof, but it's an implication.

3) Casey's words
In a recent interview Casey was asked whether or not there were other asexual/bisexual species in ME2. He went on to say that the asari were what they had in ME1 and that ME2 was taking a similar approach to romance. Samara is the only asari, so...
The quote:
Question: Are there any other races that are asexual or bisexual other than the asari?

Answer:
In Mass Effect 2, I mean, yeah, it's a similar approach to ME1 where
you have the hetero romances between say Ashley and male Shepard and
Kaidan and female Shepard, and then you've got the asari. They're
obviously very female-like, you know. You treat them as females; they
certainly seem female, with the big difference being that they
procreate without sexual activity. They have their own entire fiction
built around that, and so ultimately those are the lines of romance and
relationships that we have.
^strong implications.

4) Casey's words again
The Best Buy Q+A and hsi response about Samara and the status of F/F relationships in ME2.


I could probably go on. I only have one piece of evidence supporting a Garrus romance, and that's what has been said.

If you know more, please enlighten me.

She wasn't.....she just has boobies and everyone kind of has a hard time thinking of anything except banging her. I don't quite understand the logic behind the boobies=romance theory but that's what's happening around here.

Well anything is possible, but I think it would be a radical departure from what we know about the Asari, and how they've been portrayed in the game insofar.

Sort of like a krogan scientist, or a turian who likes bucking regulations, or a quarian willing to work with a geth.

BioWare has created a number of stereotypes for each race, but it's also been willing to break them.

Cant say, but Bioware seem to be going their own way with this. SuZe is a romance option for manshep clearly, and if you judged her reveal, there wouldnt be enough players from either gender to be worth making her a romance.

Guess its a case of wait and see. I certainly hope Samara works for both Shepards though. Thats four options per gender with only seven characters in all. Its a bargain.

She was. See my post above. It has nothing to do with her boobies, though those are nice.

Arguably the review is the best hint you have but the rest don't quite connect. Casey never said anything relating to ME2 when speaking of the ME1 Liara romance and the G4 video also contained the word "Friends". Sounds more like wishful thinking....I'm sure at least one other review would have been all over making a highlight of it if there was a same gender romance with Samara since teen males tend to drool all over that and it's an obvious site-hit magnet.

Sounds like wishful thinking....nothing really substantial.

The article is the best, but the rest is not wishful thinking.

Did you read the quote I posted? Did you miss the words In Mass Effect 2, right at the beginning? He was talking about romance and the asari in ME2 comparing them to ME1 and he said they have the same thing.

And still I see no evidence supporting Garrus except for Priestly's pluralization of "character" in one interview.

Like I said, anything is possible.  Either way, it doesn't really matter to me.  My DudeShep is going to be all over Tali, SuZe and Miranda, so Samara will only be a bonus, but if she isn't romanceable, she won't be missed. 

Honestly though, I can't believe there is still speculation about this so late in the game.  I'm surprised no one has confirmed the love interests for both genders yet..

[Darth_Trethon]

He could very easily be referring to Liara who is back as an NPC. I'm sure they made quite the dialogue tree for her when we run into her. The romances from ME1 haven't disappeared into nothing. Plus there's some other Asari NPC that you will likely be able to sleep with that is shown a bit in the voice talents videos. As for Garrus....they are keeping him a complete secret so there was no real chance to question them about him.

I know. I keep stalking other boards to see if it's been thrown out there yet, but nadda.  The one time you want spoilers, and they're just takin' their sweet time about it.

So, you've got nothing to say about Garrus?

You can pick apart the validity of one of my points all you want by claiming and hoping it wasn't referring to Samara, but that doesn't invalidate anything I've said because you clearly don't know. 
All right, no point discussing this with you then.

Not really. When he says "lines of romance and relationships" just plainly sounds like "long-distance relationship" and the hint from Casey Hudson about there being more than one character from ME1 as romance in ME2 is stronger than all you provided packed together. It actually confirms 2 or more characters that weren't romanceable in ME1 are in ME2 while all you really have is some foreign review that could have been poorly edited and something highly unconclusive about the Asari.

I agree, plus people seem to forget a certain asari from the first ME because of Samara's breasts.

But I think the boobs is just a pair of traps.

You've said nothing new here, and you still haven't posted anything about Garrus.  Even if all I had was that article, it's still better than your complete assumptions.

But it's not all I have so obviously your case is beyond weak.

[Shodan561]

Mordin...

[Shad0wOGRE]

Well let's look at the possiblities.



Miranda MaleShep

Jacob FemShep

SuZe MaleShep

Thane FemShep

Tali Possible MaleShep

Garrus Possible FemShep

Samara Possible Both



Grunt Not Gonna Happen

Mordin Not Gonna Happen

Legion Not Gonna Happen

Zaeed Not Gonna Happen

[Returnpolicy]

Tali for femsheps. Failing that Samara or Subject Zero. But us male gaming femsheps are probably going to get shafted

[merikano]

Maria Caliban wrote...

Confirmed so far...

For DudeShep:
Miranda
Subject Zero
Tali

For FemShep:
Thane
Jacob

Never seen Tali confirmed once, if you say you have then put a link where your mouth is. No the best we have is the "I can't tell you what you said mean to me" scene. Samara probably has a higher chance of being a LI than Tali right now. FYI I love Tali, I'm just being a realist here.

Ashley and Liara are still old ME1 LI's that the maleshep can continue throughout the series, same with Kaidan and Liara for femsheps.

Maybe Samara also for femsheps? Really up in the air at this point

[PeterOrtiz]

Im hoping on Tali. I really wanna see her face too.
