For me the best ones are Miranda and Kaidan. They are my 2 canon playthroughs.

 

But i actually love all MaleShep romance options:) Though Tali belongs with Garrus  And Steve with James (my headcanon, don't ruin it ).

 

Eh, no, I see Garrus as a type of Brother-Sister thing, my ideas for those characters are:

 

Garrus+Dr Michel or Citadel DLC Female Turian

 

MaleShep+Tali

 

James+ That one Asari that he liked in Paragon Lost (Didn't see it, but I read it so now it's in my head.)

 

Steve+ ... Well, someone in the future?

 

Apologies to your Headcanon

I'm a pretty big fan of my Noone -> Chambers -> Traynor playthrough.

 

Huh, pretty interesting

I only recently learned you can romance Kelly in ME3 if you aren't romancing anyone at the time.

MaleShep + Miranda = alive, head of renewed Cerberus initiative that uses Reaper tech to bring humanity into a new golden age of galactic power. 

 

Ashley = killed on Citadel (or at an alternate point)

 

Kaidan = killed on Virmire

 

Garrus = killed on Earth

 

Tali = killed on Earth (separate event)

 

Wrex = alive, on Tuchanka, rebuilding what's left of the Krogan. Prospects are grim.

 

Liara = alive, on her own, relinquishing the SB resources and going back to her solitary existence as a Prothean researcher.

 

Jacob = alive, working as a security contractor for renewed Cerberus initiative.

 

Mordin = killed on Tuchanka.

 

Jack = killed on Earth (with all her students)

 

Grunt = alive, on Tuchanka.

 

Samara = alive, returning to her solitary life as a Justicar in Asari space.

 

Thane = killed on the Citadel.

 

Legion = deactivated and deleted on Rannoch, permanently destroyed after Destroy ending.

 

Kasumi = alive, gone back to her solitary existence as a thief, with occasional contracts for renewed Cerberus.

 

Zaeed = alive, semi-retired on some colony with a beach, contracts with renewed Cerberus occasionally.

 

James = alive, returned to the alliance and continues military career, serves as functional liaison for renewed Cerberus and alliance.

 

EDI = destroyed

 

Javik = missing, assumed dead. Last seen amidst ruins of London during the Battle of Earth. Think Road Warrior ending for Javik.

 

Steve = killed on Earth

 

As I've said, I don't agree with or support the idea that everyone ends up happy or alive. I think it undercuts the narrative and makes it less interesting and mature. I especially don't support pairings among the characters so much. Too often it just becomes a game of pair the spares. I want a war epic in space, not a romance simulator.

What narrative? The childish story where giant robots want to destroy the galaxy? I saw this in a couple of Godzilla sequels, I think. The one thing better about those is no one mistook it for serious drama.

 

Anyways, the pairings are all in good fun (just like most of the games... it's all in good fun). 

 

Yeah, when you boil the plot down to simple levels like that, it's always going to sound idiotic and childish.

I think it can and should be serious drama. You're trying to appeal to the players and developers by stating that you're 'in on the joke'. 

 

The ending tried to go for that, and you not seeing it that way doesn't mean that its any less so.

[God]

It's got serious moments, but that's missing the forest for the trees. We're here to have fun in a shooter, acting like a galactic James Bond, bitchslapping everyone, tossing them out of buildings, and waging war against mutants and giant robots.

 

Go tell your loved ones/family about your hobby and see how seriously they take you.

 

Don't get me wrong though. I'm not a hater. I love it.

 

I really don't think that's the point of Mass Effect. I rather think you're being dismissive to the serious elements, and being outright ignorant of the idea that it can be 'serious' fiction. 

 

We're definitely not here to have 'fun' in a shooter in the sense that you're describing. You're basically implying that fiction in general isn't meant to be taken seriously objectively, especially science fiction.

 

I'm getting you wrong. I'm a hater of what you like about the franchise. I think the campy, cutesy, and cheesy elements need to be toned down, if not outright eliminated.

There was a funny interview with Mark Hammil about this... where he was making fun of some RoTJ filming scene... and he kept bugging Lucas about some plot point or another and why it didn't make sense. 

 

And then Lucas told him... "Mark..... these movies are for kids." And it calmed him down... And Hammil was trying to relay this story to tell other "adults" to chill out too. That, in the end, it was just for kids and they shouldn't take it so seriously.

 

 

I stopped buying that 'for kids' bull**** when they showed people being decapitated, bisected (cut in half), dismembered, asphyxiated, graphically burned alive, and portraying outright extermination of people. 

 

If that's 'for kids' then there's seriously something *****d up with your point of view. I'm calling it.

 

This is not for children.

Eh... gotta learn sometime.

 

Otherwise, alive=/= happy. I save everyone I can save, but I can guarantee you some, maybe even most of them aren't happy afterwards. For some, death might even be preferable. For the rest, at best it's more like "here's a whole bunch of new **** you have to deal with to keep your little pile of rubble somewhat intact, as you wonder if it's even worth it".

 

It gets a little better later. But there's always more to deal with.

I don't know about you, but the first thing I'm doing for my son when he turns 8 years old is showing him a montage of Mortal Kombat fatalities.

I don't like ME2 that much. It's the weakest game in the series IMO. And I don't consider myself an uber-nerd ME2 is harder for me to roleplay than both ME1 and ME3 because the protagonist is made up to act like some wannabe bada** in space. Some people love it and enjoy those cheesy one-liners - "I got better". For me, they were annoying, out of character and, frankly, dumb. Part of the reason why I like ME3 the most is because they took a step back from silliness that was ME2.

I'll take ME2 and Citadel over ME3 any day. Give me action, cheese and one liners over whining about conventional victory and "art", no questions asked.

 

The feel of ME1 moving to ME2 was awesome. ME1 you're working within the system to assemble a team of irregulars to combat a threat. ME2 you're on the fringes, assembling an even bigger team of badasses to take out a threat. Even though we fought faceless mercs more than anything ME2 felt the most like I was on a space adventure with limitless potential. The Reaper plot by itself is nothing special at best and ME3 was a huge step backwards in making you feel like in the world.
