They'll agree to share and have a threesome with you.

(Sigh) If only it could happen.

[caradoc2000]

It is not like a threesome is a new invention in games. Of Bioware games, Jade Empire had one back in 2005 - a bit odd considering

Spoiler

the girls were cousins

[Kalas Magnus]

You should see what Trish and Yennefer do to you if you attempt to date both at the same time.

tbh i thought geralt had a chance.

I don't play TW3 so I'm curious to know.

Things are really looking up, then at the last minute they trick you and leave you tied to a bed. They even laugh and toast with wine.

Wut?

Is the educational system broken  or is English Grammar no longer taught in school?

 

 

      The United States Census Bureau estimates that the world population exceeded 7 billion on March 12, 2012, Approximately 375 million people speak English around the world! where English is either the official or the primary language. It is the third most common primary language in the world (behind Mandarin Chinese and Spanish).

However, even in most non-english speaking Countries English is taught in School, even mandatory most of the Time. If you factor in these Numbers, it will surely skyrocket.

Not everyone has English as their native language.

Thank you for that piece of information.

Yeah, me too.

Now, if only Bio can add such an intriguing romance option. Say a chance of 1 in 4 that our Casanova like PC can romance two of them.

It's not a bad idea to have a LI overlap multiple games. Liara T'Soni comes to mind as one such successful character.

 

Future games in the Helius Cluster may be written as independant stories with some common elements to tie them together. These elements can be Love Interests, a Crime boss , Merc companies or  a seriously tough Pirate organization that wrecks havoc in the Cluster.

 

In any event,  it would be interesting to see the same romanceable character appear in two independant games with two different PCs.

Yennefer and Miranda look identical. I don't play W3, but I did see Yennefer. I always want to say Yennefer Lopez.

I'm pretty sure that if you romance anyone in ME2, after romancing either Kaiden or Ash in ME1, whichever of them survives doesn't actually forgive you in ME3.

Kaidan gets butthurt no matter who you go for in ME2, which is kind of lame considering Horizon. Ashley is pissed at you over Miranda or Jack no matter what because she simply doesn't like them, but approves of Tali assuming you actually visit her in the hospital and talk to her about it (If not they will trade barbs on the Dreadnought).

[themikefest]

It'd be goddamn hilarious if Liara went all shadow broker on you and poisoned your food, granting a critical mission failure should you try to cheat.

What would be hilarious is if it turns out like the Batarian on Omega. Shepard survives and then makes Liara eat the food with the poison in it. Excellent. Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to do that since I never romance her. 

[prosthetic soul]

I think the romances should be as explicit as possible.  I'm talking pornographic levels of detail here.

Oh, my...

[Youknow]

Well for me, here's my list. I don't particularly like romances too much-- I'm not much of a romantic IRL, but I'll give it a shot for the topic. 

 

1) Make them have effort. I know this sounds weird, but the romances from what I've seen have gotten progressively worse after Dragon Age Origins. In DA:Origins , they were so varied and flavorful. Afterward, they seem to have gotten beaten with this weird obsession with making them "reach a target demographic," and they have gotten much weaker since. 

 

Heterosexual or homosexual, I'd rather have less romances all around if it meant that they could be as diverse and fleshed out as Zevran's, Leiliana's, Alistar's, and Morrigan's. None of them have reached that point since then-- which is weird because they games have only gotten larger budgets since then, and they've become less and less fun to do and interesting. Dragon Age's got weak when it was no longer about the character and instead just slapping an icon and letting your character do all of the talking-- it felt less like talking to the person in a normal fashion and more so badgering the person into submission. Although, there were nice touches like Cassandra's sidequest for romancing her, or Jacob's romance in ME2-- the dialogue has many branching paths, and isn't entirely formulaic in how the romance is done in the sense of it's two consenting adults rather than you healing him or something stupid like so many other romances are in Mass Effect.  In ME, it's just... Consistently bad. I get that these are subplots, but come on, look at how decent Dragon Age's were, and 2 of the characters weren't even main characters for it. Go back to having romance be as a way to see another side of a character rather than just locking lips with a digital character. That's my main beef. 

 

2) Fair treatment of all of them. Dragon Age was pretty good about this. But Mass Effect's were an absolute disaster for this. I'm not saying the males and females need the same amount, no, but it should be clear that there is a solid amount of effort put into them. Female sheperd's just felt lazy in ME3. Like as if the development team was burdened to have to make these romances. It actually negatively impacts the game when you see this. First because it makes you a bit annoyed to see such laziness, and second because it reminds you of the standard "you chose poorly" options that exist which does nothing but infuriate people. 

 

I'd rather have quality romances than a ton or even varied ones. The more they have, the worse they get.

Hm. . .I do need a new reason to hate Liara. . .I'd respect a little more too. Funny, how someone trying to kill me makes me think that.

If by share you mean literally blue balls and a 50 foot halo drop into a lake, yes

Now I think it wold have been great to see some jealousy between Garrus and Kaidan, but I guess bioware thought femshep wasn't worth the fight like manshep got with his LIs. So headcanon everyone:

 

*snip*

 

That comic is hilarious! XD. I'm pretty sure there wasn't any love triangle dialogue for Femshep because, as you said, Bioware either forgot or didn't think it was important. Then again, Garrus is too much of a classy guy to be jealous anyway. He says so himself in ME2 that he's not into stupid love triangles and won't make any moves unless Femshep is single. It would be out of character for him to brag in-front of an ex or be petty about Femshep choosing someone else.He's a class act all the way and no matter how late in the relationship Femshep breaks up with him, he's always mature about it and makes sure she knows he'll always be her friend. So yeah, I can't see him involved a Tali/Ashley style squabble.

 

That being said

 

I did think there should have been a moment between Kaidan and Garrus regarding Horizon though. We know Kaidan was not happy that Shepard moved on despite how they left things on Horizon. He regarded her relationship with Garrus as "cheating" and says so more than once. What was awful about it was that there was no way for Femshep to properly challenge that accusation (a shame). So it would have been nice for Garrus to stick up for Femshep a little there. Nothing passive aggressive or b*tchy just Garrus and Kaidan being honest about it. It should have been a intercom conversation on the Normandy if Shepard hadn't "locked in" a romance yet;

 

Kaidan: So...I hear you and Shepard are closer these days.

 

Garrus: Kaidan...

 

Kaidan: I'm not angry...I just...I  thought we were friends Garrus. You knew we were together. How did you think that was OK?

 

Garrus:  We are friends Kaidan but you walked away from her on Horizon. As far as she knew, it was over between you two. So did I. Blame yourself, blame me if you want to but don't blame Shepard for that.

 

Kaidan: You're right *sigh*  I'm sorry.

 

Garrus: It's OK.

 

Kaidan: Look, whatever she decides, I just want her to be happy.

 

Garrus: Me too.

BioWare could learn a thing or two from Yandere Simulator.

I think Bioware should script in 'The Crazy Ex' routines for if a player cheats on a romances option. You go to your armor locker and your ME:A Collectors Edition pathfinder in-game hoodie goes missing (permanently). The new headlamps you installed on the Mako get smashed out in a "routine med-supply drop off" mission. Email messages denouncing your 'Paragon' image or shaming your new 'Renegade' morality flood into your omni-tool every time you complete an objective.

 

That would open a whole new dimension to Role Playing, and for some unfamiliar with how relationships work, a bit of reality. Bioware, do it. Do it.

 

 

How characters should react in certain situations should also fit the setting and the story, and for something like Mass Effect, BioWare would do well to steer very clear of this sort of thing. Just having the jilted companion, who is presumably a professional in some capacity, turn into some sort of obnoxious saboteur would not be a dose of reality; it would be a ridiculous parody of the standard-issue "crazy b**ch" that one might encounter in a comedy film.

It all depends on the tone the game has. If the game had Mass Effect 2's tone of "this galaxy is a crazy place and just when you thought you knew it, someone does something even more insane," I'd be fine with it. If it had the same tone as ME1 or ME3, it would feel ridiculous. 

 

Although I'd probably get a chuckle if a priority mission popped up about your current love affairs because you kept fooling around and doing something stupid.
