"Meh, okay."

I know its a typo, but:

There was no typo. Herosexual - characters who are attracted to whatever gender the hero happens to be.

I'd be fine with the OP's suggestion.  Of course, you run the risk that people might not like the one choice for their demographic, but we ran into that with multiple options already too, so I don't think it's a big deal.  I'm actually really hoping that they go really small with romances in this game.  4 LI's max.

It depends on the romances. I would be dissapointed if Bioware felt they now have to 'one up' the previous games romances.

 

I personally think Dragon Age Origins did it best. It was almost a minigame. It was extremely fun and you could switch your romance whenever you wanted. In so doing it didn't really distract from the story. Since Origins, Bioware obviously decided to capitalise on what they think is a unique selling point of their games and made romances less fun (gamey) with a larger focus on tying it to the story.

 

I don't want to have to think about who I want to romance. So I can agree with everything they say so it will be possible. Just give me a bag of doggy treats and let me make my own fun. I hold a similar opinion for all the pointless relationships in game.

 

I'd think it's a great idea. Better 2 well developed romances than 10 weak ones.

Could you give an example of two well developed romances and an example of 10 weak ones.

I do not subscribe to the quality/quantity dichotomy. One does not inherently exclude the other. 

 

My favorite romance in the ME trilogy is Miranda in ME2. Yeah, they dropped the ball in ME3, partly due to quantity but just in general the poor handling of the ME2 squadmates, but in ME2 I enjoyed her romance arc the most and that was a game with six LI's.

 

Limiting it to two really doesn't appeal to me. Those two could have as much or more dialogue than all six ME2 li's combined, but if they don't appeal to my personal taste, then I don't particularly care. 

 

I do want in depth characters. But I also want options. There are a lot of very deep people in the real world I have no interest in because, despite all their depth, we have no common ground. And I just don't want to roll the dice that the one option available to me is going to be one I have no interest in.

I would love to see herosexual companions again.

 

Mass Effect 3 had heterosexual LIs.

 

Ashley, Tali, and Garrus are all heterosexual. If you include ME2 LIs who reappeared in ME3 but not as companions, so were Miranda and Thane. Jack has been with women according to her backstory, but is only interested in Male Shep.

Sad. Asari's are blue humans and humans are well.. humans. Less humans, more aliens. Thanks.

 

If the male LI would be Drell, Turian or maybe Quarian then I'd be okay with it although I do dislike having less than 4 LI's, more the merrier really for me. Hoping at least 6 for ME at the moment.

 

I don't think romances need to be relevant to plot anyway. Usually those who are relevant are boring as heck, idk if it's character, romance itself or some other reason.

 

So I guess overall I would be very against this. Especially with human male LI, ugh.

[Panda]

Oh and replayability of the game would drop quite lot with this as well. So strict: NO! from me, no gain, only pain.

[TheChosenOne]

I don't romance aliens so the asari is a no go. If the human male is interesting enough I might.

[SardaukarElite]

The problem with romances is that they're highly personal. If you cull six potential romances to have two amazing heart wrenching stories of the human condition with no clipping sex scenes then that's great so long as you actually like the romance options given. Not that dividing resources is as simple as that anyway so you might just get two romances of only slightly better quality if any improvement is found at all.

[Sanunes]

I am just reminded of the Dragon Age II boards with "playersexual" complaints about how the romances worked.  I highly doubt they will have only two characters that can be romanced to keep the toxic wasteland to a minimum.  

 

If they do decide to only have two I am fine with that, but I tend to romance only the human crew members so I wouldn't partake in a romance in this scenario.

[spinachdiaper]

No thanks, I prefer the Baskin Robbins 31 flavors of romance options approach.

[Former_Fiend]

I will say this.

 

On the whole, I'm still not sold on MEA. This wouldn't be a deal breaker or a deal maker for me. If the rest of the game looked like crap, them not doing this wouldn't convince me to play it anyway, and if the rest of the game was great, them doing this wouldn't stop me from playing it. 

 

But I'd probably only do one or two playthroughs and there's a significant chance I wouldn't romance anyone. So, there's that.

I know.

I'm not asking for heterosexual. I'm asking for herosexual.

[Catastrophy]

I'd be like: "So what?"

[78stonewobble]

Uhm... no thanks... The increase in "quality and content" will be irrelevant and wasted, for people who happen to don't like those characters. I think simply ... you reach too few people, with only 2 choices.

 

Sure I'd like more depth to romances, or rather, lets say less awkwardness and stupid gamestuff over them, but again that will be lost if, I just don't like either of them. 

 

I also don't like all bisexuals or herosexuals. To me it's silly and immersionbreaking and ruins the chance of flirty, but still completely automatically platonic friendships. 

[Malleficae]

Asari and human dude? So like in ME1? Hell no. Both Liara and Kaidan sucked a lot and I really like cute romances. Bring me bisexual female salarian and bisexual male quarian. Say no to old schematics! c:

[SpaceLobster]

1 asari, 1 human female, 

It includes a human female and an asari, so I am/might be happy. I say, why not?

[Vapaa]

The catch is less quantity, more quality.

Except when Bioware has "31 flavors" they all taste like vanilla.  Sometimes less is more.

I saw what they did with three romances in one game and wasn't impressed. When they had four and then six, I felt it was a significant improvement.

I wouldn't say Bioware's "31 flavors" have tasted all same in previous games. However if we are going to have 2 characters who are human male and Asari, I'm expecting to get vanilla, boring and cliche romances that are safe. Just based on what have been the "main romances" in ME and DA so far.

[Helios969]

Yeah, two is too few but I think 3 or 4 could be a good starting point for a new ME game.  If the intent (and no one really knows) is to continue the series in Andromeda then we all know future romances will be added.  It all depends on how much resources Bioware is going to put into companions and love interests, but I'd personally prefer fewer well fleshed out ones than many watered down romances.
