HAHAHAHAHAHA

It sounded sexual now that I read it again, I see that lol!! Well... it could be romantically or sexually in the way that if the LI doesn't treat you right, then you get to give him the boot completely off the ship or something.

I only took it as sexual since it's the romance thread

But yeah, being able to kick people out of your team/bed is always a good option, IIRC Mass Effect wasn't as good about this as Dragon Age. I don't think you could dump an LI in ME without romancing someone else first.

You're right. I didn't think about it being the romance thread but I did however mean it both romantically and none romantically, maybe just not in the middle of sex lol, although that could be a fun option I admit

You could break up with Thane mid-romance without having to engage someone else. That much I remember.

 

It might have been a special case because of his terminal illness, though.

The biology of all the ME species didn't make sense. Not the Salarians, not the Krogan, not the Asari and most of all, not the Quarians. There was absolutely not reason for their immune system to change at all in the 300 years since they left their planet.

They used to be a council species before, they lived on the Citadel, various colonies and among aliens. They had aliens on Rannoch. How was that no problem with their biology? What changed later? Even ignoring the life ships, sterile air doesn't really exist if you have thousands of people on board.

 

Okay, I romanced Tali once, too... but I still think that cross species romances are unrealistic, even within a sci-fi universe. Especially if one partner can poison the other with their bodily fluids.

 

I guess all we could do was wait for the newly updated codex. Honestly, I don't really expect games like these to be consistent with actual science particularly from people who prefer to write Star Wars and so science fantasy that was loosely based on science is tolerable enough.

 

Alien-Human romances aren't new. I think what make Mass Effect significant was how you're able to initiate it yourself and that it is an option (despite Mac Walters' attempt at strongly suggesting that Liara should be your canon romance). I guess the idea isn't how realistic it was, but how it was able to satisfy player's fantasies... they tested the waters with Liara (but the Asari still have a human female body and feminine features than alien) and then they comply by making Tali and Garrus romanceable and creating Thane, an alien with a sexy male body. 

 

For me, I don't think either Asari or Quarian female's sex organs was functionally the same as human female. I remember Mordin mention how Drell was venomous and Turian semen could cause severe rash and irritation (?!). So, I assume everything was more heavy petting and otherworldly coitus experience than actual sexual intercourse.

I'm a little rusted, but I think I remember there was a way to break up with Garrus before the suicide mission and in ME3 quite early. But I never break up with Garrus, so I may be wrong.

[BaaBaaBlacksheep]

I want a chick with three boobs.

What the hell???

Never did romance Garrus so I wouldn't know, but it wouldn't surprise me.

[aoibhealfae]

I think if you can break up with Thane and Shepard will say something that she will never replace his wife for him. 

 

You can stop the relationship with Garrus after the initial 'reach and flexibility' conversation and he will say that its better for them to be friends instead. But if you do it pre-suicide mission, he will be starting to get used to the whole 'interspecies romance' () but the way FemShep said it was pretty harsh like you're purposely breaking his heart for leading him on. 

[Fiery Phoenix]

I think if you can break up with Thane and Shepard will say something that she will never replace his wife for him. 

It was basically because Shepard sees no future with him having only a few months to live, saying something along the lines of "I don't want to love you now only to lose you shortly after." It was quite a heartfelt scene. I'm sure you can find it on YouTube somewhere.

Have your LI lose interest in you if you act like a lecher to other women/men. I was very disappointed that my two-timing scumbaggery didn't have consequences in ME3.

oh gosh, darling, how could you want to destroy the fantasy of having all the females in the game without consequences? share and care

[UpUpAway]

I would have liked my Shep to be able to get more forward with his LI more frequently in the game using optional interrupts.  I found it fun with the kiss interrupt at the end of Grissom and during the Citadel DLC on the run through where he romanced Jack and would have liked to see a few of those spontaneous kissing moments available with other possible LIs in the game.  That way, I could have played him up either as a guy who liked public displays of affection or a guy who didn't (without necessarily affecting the progress of the romance itself).

That comic is smashing.

[Erstus]

You are very brave.

Hmm? I'm rather fond of the idea.

Imagine a dog companion thay can speak with you through telepathy. This dog also has a female-detecting radar to find you some women when you are in heat. Of course, you would need to feed him in return lest you lose his favor.

Brilliant!

I hate how my favorite romance becomes the target of jokes like this. 

Especially since she's the only romance in the trilogy where sex isn't mandatory. 

[KaiserShep]

Oh come on. All romances should have jokes attached, and the way it's initiated is pretty good material, and this is coming from someone who prefers Kelly over all ME2 hookups. 

[ZipZap2000]

What the hell???

I totally recall that reference.

Thank you, I needed that laugh.

I see nothing in there that is pretty good material.

Almost anything can be made into a joke, ME's romances most of all. 

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Almost anything can be made into a joke, ME's romances most of all. 

And? Just because almost anything can be made into a joke doesn't mean it should, especially if it is a demeaning or mean-spirited one. 

[KaiserShep]

Mean-spirited? That's a bit much. It's just a funny picture with a guy that looks like Nigel Thornberry wooing space chicks with animal magnetism. Besides, the funniest part is clearly the pattern of his bedspread. Anyway, I disagree. As many things should be made into a joke as possible. I like my seriousness in small doses.

I was an idiot to be drinking something while reading this thread. 

[KaiserShep]

I still come to this thread specifically to laugh at it.
