Forced like Yuna on Tidus. (Or you have the option of having no one at all).
I don't share your sentiment. I like having options, it fits perfectly with the entire theme of the series, which is choice. Though, I would still play Mass Effect regardless even without romance, I am too enamored with dialogue choices not to. It also helps that the gameplay and story is stellar as well.

Not really I found DA to be far better. And KOTOR really.
To
be honest I didn't find the DA ones to any notable amount better, but
it is a matter of opinion. I never did the KOTOR romances so I wouldn't
know about that in particular. Fortunately, both of which are Bioware
games. Aside from the intentionally sidelined Liara, Ashley, and Kaidan, Mass Effect 3 will be the first time that - at least hopefully -that romance truly carry over to another game. Here's hoping that the romances develop more deeply, possibly with those powerful three words.
