I honestly cannot think of one woman in all of ME who has an attractive personality. I guess Shiala is probably okay, but only in the manner that I know basically nothing about her and she was a commando. Ashley was a neoconservative, Liara is socially retarded and now acts like she drank a Mt. Dew, Miranda is just generally unfriendly and annoying, Jack is a cliche 8 year old that just learned a bunch of curse words and thinks she's tough even though she's useless, Tali is a space nazi, Kelly is loose, Gianna Parasini has the voice of a middle aged office worker and is generally boring, the Consort is faux-mystical and pretentious, Samara is an android, unable to analyze her behavior, and so on and so on.
Yeah, well you ARE right, because all of this "traits" you stated are true for every Character,
BUT that is ofc at the beginning the first Impression you get; it is a dark World, where everyone had and has
bad Life-Experiences. Thus everyone got hurt (in Body and Mind) and its a psychologically natural to close yourself up against "Intrusion" of Strangers, so that you wont get hurt by them.
And thats the Strength of the Shepard-Character: He/She has also experienced harsh Traumas (Sole Survivor on Akuze / Slaughter in the Skyllian Blitz etc.), but didnt succumb to this.
Thats why Shepard can see through the impenetrable Walls of his new Companions and wants to talk to them, so that they open up and show how they really are.
I mean: If YOU would have experienced a Childhood like Jack or Miranda. Or would have lived a life of Death and Destruction like Samara, so that afterwards, when you found out, that you want to be righteous, only to see that you got punished by Faith and your 3 Daughters become Ardat-Yakshi, 1 even a Mass-Murderer.
Take away your Oppinion of your Life and all Experiences and think about a Situation, where you would only know this different Life-Experience and the Culmination of all this Death, Tragedy, Pity and Pain.
You surely wouldnt have become different, because you also wouldnt have know anything else, like ie. Jack.
Everyone of the Romance-Options has a human Side (well.. even the Non-Humans

), but i like Samara especially, because of her Grace, Experience, Wisdom and stuff. Of course she has this "YOU ARE BAD, SO DIE!
Mentality, but this is still a Game and im not "in Love" with her or sth.
Its just a Game-Experience and would have been fun to have a Romance with such a exotic Beauty!
