hmmm Thane should have slept with no ones Shepard after the way he reminices about his dead wife. I had mass respect for my fav drell assassin until i saw the youtube vids of him getting it on with a terminator FemShep.



She died ten years ago. He remembers her fondly, but that doesn't mean he can't do more with his life and love again. You think it's wrong to not obsessively let her death ruin him for any future relationships? It's not disrespecting someone after they are dead. It's not diminishing the love he had for her.

*Didn't check to see if there were other threads on this yet.  So I apologize if I'm just repeating other user's.*

I rarely discuss my gender in gamer conversations, but this.. is... painful.

First and foremost - I l.o.v.e. this game.  The level up system is nice and smooth.  The shooting / special abilities interface system is seamless.  It's an amazing gaming experience.

Originally I never felt Shepard would be interested in romance considering her/his missions, but after speaking with Garrus... just couldn't help myself.  That being said, I really enjoy how Bioware has handled the scenes and dialogue in this game.  They're few, short, and very very sweet.

Just one problem.  Bioware... you have zero love for us ladies!!!

I played through, and beat the game in 22hrs.  I originally thought I'd go for Thane, but Garrus easily won my heart.  I was so excited to see Garrus get something great for himself; Shepard.  Then I saw the love scene... it was so sweet and I enjoyed it.. but we bumped heads............



*coughs*


BUMPED HEADS?!?!?!

I get he's an alien.. but really?  Tali could've died and she takes her mask off for male shepard, Miranda shows her breasts, and Jack gets some bed action.  Yet you gave Garrus a damn head bump?!  COME ON!!!

The poor guy gets betrayed, his face nearly blown off, and what do I give him?  ...a head bump.

So, I think to myself; "Ok this must be the super sweet love scene."  I go and check out Thane's love scene.  There's some crying and kissing... the end.  Jacob was all about the abs, but 1 out of 3?

Bioware, us lady gamers may be few, but we're still here.  I understand taking off Garrus's outfit wouldn't have worked, but at least you could've had him pick up Shepard and take her to the bed all sweet like. 

/sigh  I still adore Garrus, he's my favorite character by far.  I just hope there's a better love scene with him in ME3, and better female / alien love scenes in general... : /


LMAO! u know u remind me of ME1 when shepard is talking with liara about their "melding" ways and then shepard said: "so you just do it with anything"  lol....quarians like tali looks human-alien like shape which is good, asaris like liara are the same which is also good and humans like miranda well i dont need to finish, but garrus? i mean he at least have to arms and two legs but his face is just too different, thane could be more acceptable from the looks of his face even if he does look alien like too which is cool.

but anyways diversity is good so... one star for you:wizard: yay! lol (2 for tali:wizard::wizard:)

I would have liked a lot more content in the romance scene for female Shepards. In comparison to the male ones they are tame, short and inconsequential. Quite a gyp.

I agree. He brings her up several times but only to explain his past to her, therefore getting to know each other better and create an emotional bond with the FemShep.

Not necessarily. I know women who enjoy the game. But not all women need to have the underlying feminist tones in order for the game to be enjoyable or believable. Some women don't care if a game depicts women as space hookers. Others do. It's just personal preference.

Instead of saying that it's a boy's game, say that it's a tomboy's game.

I thought the FemSheps got the short end of the stick as well. Mind you my first gripe was I didn't think it too fair that two of our love interests were lizards. Not to say I don't like the characters, I can't really see Garrus as more than a friend, he almost like Shepard's sidekick/partner. Thane was a morbid lizard-man with a really annoying memory problem, so that didn't do anything for me, though he has a cool voice. Then Jacob was just so awkward to talk to; I couldn't carry through with anything to the end with him.

Alas my Shepard had to remain loyal to her ME1 LI.

But I have watched all the love scenes on YouTube and the men may have had a little more but I found all the scenes in ME2 to be really bad compared to the ME1 scenes. The females especially so.

KalosCast wrote... Human fluids (much like human food, as they use the same protein structures) would be poisonous to Garrus and vice versa. You two making out furiously followed by puking all over each other would be a hell of a lot less romantic.

yeah, the chiralty is an issue for those of us who wish to be with Garrus or Tali, however I think you're fine so long as you avoid particularly wet kissing (which also works well in human-human relationships, since not many people are into large amounts of spit being transferred anyway {smilie}) and use barrier-based prophylactics for any other activities that might involve fluid transfer. Tali's immune system is lessened as an issue ingame since she can dose herself up to the eyeballs with antibiotics and herbal supplements.

Mechanical difficulties..... would be another matter, and one best left to Mordin's expertise

spm1138 wrote... I agree. Speaking as a dude, my brorian Garrus should get a more fleshed (scaled?) out romance option in ME3.



If they go to the trouble of doing it for Tali...

QFT, Garrus is also my bro, and he deserves a very well scaled/plated(?) romance continuation come ME3, he's too awesome not to get something meaningful IMO (or failing that, I'd better get some decent bromantic continuation...)

Slidell505 wrote... Wat Garrus was a bromance before he was a romance,and if your a guy you can talk to him twice,and that's it after that he's always calibrating those damn guns...

yeah, the interactions that were there contained the requisite strong bromantic content, but you could tell that someone had been a little bit passed over when it came to stuff to do and say, hopefully the guns in ME3 won't need so much calibration so we can engage in some proper male bonding and asskickery

scyphozoa wrote... also - why the hell do you go to engineering with miranda? who makes love near a EZO drive core??? i wouldn't even get an MRI without a lead jacket, and these guys are bumping uglies in the radioactive glow of the drive core? wtffff

You know Pierre and Marie Curie used to make love to the glow of radium, they found it romantic.  Too bad about the leukemia that was not so romantic. Fortunately I think that glass around the drive core was shielded.  I think Miranda just found it romantic or something.

perhaps a firefly reference? although if it is that should be tali, not miranda...

Umm, I /hate/ the things I mentioned, but I still enjoy the game and I'm not a tomboy :P

But it's less of a blanket statement than "this is a boy's game".
