You know, reading (mostly just the topics because I fear what's actually IN the thread) some of the threads on this forum about romances makes me happy Kaidan is 'just human'.
When the call went out for a Garrus romance, I was like "Garrus? Wow, love the guy...but um, how's that going to work?". Meaning in my mind I couldn't see human and Turian anatomy working. Can't really kiss him or give him a proper hug, he's all plated and spikey with a huge chest. I tried to picture Shepard and Garrus and couldn't.
Bioware had problems with it too judging from the romance they now created.
Same goes for Tali, the way Quarians are designed. When the call went out for her, I wondered how they would go about the whole suit thing and not diminish the story they created for her race.
It made sense to me that Bioware created an alien race specifically for their female gamers to romance, the Drell. They gave Thane kissable lips and a human form that would animate whatever lovescene they had in mind a lot better. For those who wanted an alienmance, he was it.
A lot of people on the forum are displeased with Garrus and Tali and how Bioware handled it. But how else could they? Reading all that frustration just made me sooo happy Kaidan is 'just human' and can be animated however Bioware wants it and easily. I think it takes a whole lot more time and thus resources to create a scene with Garrus than it does with Kaidan, which imo, is a good thing.
The only, somewhat, smexy scene femsheps got in ME2 was Jacob after all...and guess what..he's 'just human' as well. So all the whines about humans being dull and bland make no sense, because they get all the yummy scenes hah!
Just a different, shallow way of looking at things while my mind is diving for the gutter again...hehe
Edit : Which makes me think about the romance options for malesheps..Miranda, Jack and Kelly....humans! Funny!
