If Miri is a cameo I will be very mad!

I personally see indications of longer-term possiblities. Jacob, for instance, will come right out and say he's in love with you if you start you the love scene by being negative towards him. Like he really wants this relationship and is reluctant to be turned away at the pass. Tali and Garrus are the same way- how tender the love scenes are, and how painful the disappointment in their voices if you reject them.

Being a big fan of Garrus, I'll go even further with him by suggesting that I don't need a "twu wuv" relationship with him (or any other character for that matter). He and Shep have an unbeatable rapport that transcends conventional relationships. Whether or not you're in "love," he doesn't want to be anywhere else besides fighting by your side. And if some tenderness gets thrown in there, bonus.  I won't lie.

Maybe I just like to be optimistic, but I think BW can only lose out on a lot of incredible storyline by making the romances into throwaway affairs. I think that maybe with ME2 they mostly wanted to test the waters, give us a little romance for each, to see just how popular each LI was, but not go so far into it as to risk valuable time and money making long, involved romances that only a few would play through.

In the end, I am very impressed at how much BW seems to care about the desires of the fans. They would not want to disappoint too many of us too much, I think.

Those are vallid points, but I stand by my opinion. I do think that most of the relationships should be given equil weight for those who wish to explore those sub-plots and fit their Shepherds to the character they want them to be.
My cannon maleshep romanced Ash in ME, and Tali in ME2, and will stay with Tali because he has more attatchemnt to her. My cannon femshep romanced Liara in ME and Garrus in ME2, and will try to keep both of them(if possible) and probably loose both because she enjoys manipulateing them(she tried to get Kaiden in on the blue too, but he said no).

Not necessarily, they dont have romance in the new DA expansion.

Or so they say. But then they said there were no f/f relationships in ME2 either.
Granted, one is gratuitous, another is a non-starter and the 3rd leads to hilarious death, but still.

how could anyone think Garrus' romance is a fling?

I think Garrus is sweet and all but I don't know, he seems more like a good friend than a lover to me.
He's still one of the best ME2 romances though.

Every ME2 LI is different, my Pov:



Garrus: He takes it very serious but Femshep gave me the impression she just want 1 night

Jacob: Hmm depend how you play it? From chessy porn like to soul searching level of seriousness.

Thane: No comment yet, haven't finished.



Miranda: They like each other a lot but I am not sure it is love yet? (impression anyways)

Jack: She trusts/love Shep enough to open her heart, she is for real

Tali: Shep's her first love.



Don't think any of these are flings.



Kelly: All my Sheps kept their distances...

Awakenings is an expansion, ME3 not.

I think we'll get some new romances too (for new players) +
8-9 romancable ME1/ME2 characters

I doubt that all these characters get much romance content

Thane is kinda similar to Jack, as he starts to open him self to her. Ironic  Jack and Thane have the most emointal (spelling?) romance but they most likely won't be in ME3 >_>

Also you are right about Miri and I hate when people say its a fling. If you pick the right choices she realy opens up to Shep. What I loved about miri is that she did not flirt with you right off the bat, it took awhile until she let her feelings for you slip. To me Tali is like a little sister and Garrus is my bromance. Would never romance them with Joshua Shepard and Fiona Shepard, but for other Shepards its

I've heard several people say that the ME2 romances were created solely or mostly as temptation for players to "cheat" on their ME partner and that these relationships were never intended to be lasting or receive the closure that an ME romance will. I go back and forth on this one. On the one hand, I think Bioware knows better than to antagonize the player base by having one set of LIs be preferable to another. On the other hand, your ME LI is guarenteed to be still breathing, and the devs may not want to spend the same resources on characters who may be dead.

So, how are we supposed to feel about our romance options as we wait for ME3?

I have one Shepard one who sacraficed the love of her life for the greater good.  She found Thane very kind and looked forward to having him spend the rest of his life with her.  He died in the last mission. 

I have one Shepard who liked Jacob but every time she tried to talk to him he thought it was too soon and she got the impression he was still thinking of Miranda and he was happy when Shepard said she would back off. 

All of my other Female Shepards are faithful to Kaidan.  There is no contest, no chance either Thane or Jacob or any other male shipmate might come along.  :happy:

I have two male Shepard's.  The one who cared about Liara decided she had changed way too much and went for Miranda, but it was a fling.  For both of them.  He talked to Jacob about it once.  Kelly Chambers might have been a better choice than Miranda, but he really wasn't looking for anything too serious.  The other one will stick with Ash.

Any ME2 character can die, so no one from it will be usable in ME3, but that is just speculation.

The only reason the LI from ME1 wasn't a squadmember in ME2 is because Bioware wants the give all the LI from 1 and 2 a more important/expanded role in ME3. And they couldn't do this if the LI from 1 was a squadmember in 2. If they were, those romances would get more dept in ME2, and then ME3 has a lot of different LI factors to consider. Like: LI continued from first(with more dept), new LI from 2(without more dept), LI from ME1 romanced in ME2(without dept). So they put those LI a little bit in the dark - so they couldn't advance to the next level. This way every LI has the same amount of history with Shepard - so that they could all have the same important role in ME3.

Hmm, maybe it's a bit unclear. But what I'm trying to say is: I believe every LI will be a squadmember in ME3

As for Tali and Garrus: They were put in because a lot of fans asked for it, and because Bioware couldn't get away with reducing every old squadmember to a cameo - so they added the two that couldn't die and weren't a LI. I would put those two in the same camp as Miranda/Thane/Jack/Jacob.

I forgot about Tali and Garrus.  I did flirt with Garrus.  It was fun, but so awkward and it was a relief to say we would just be friends who blow things up together.

Only one for me is Tali. If she doesn't carry over I'll be sooooooooooooooo upset, and angry. For me, it should have been her to begin with, in ME1. She is the only reason I play opposite gender in a video game... just because her romance is sooooooooooooooo sweet, and I adore the character utterly.

Nothing Biotic God does is a fling!

[Commander Gonzalez]

Ash was just all for ass for me. I thought she was a snobby b**ch who wanted the Commanders ****.



Tali, I sort of used in ME2 as a "Ive been on this ship for a while, so I need some action."



Tali is a good soldier and don't want to hurt her feelings. But for ME3 I will have to go with neither.

IMO the ME2 LIs were flings, while the ME1 were obviously love (at least in Liara's case)

Fixed.

[Collider]

All of the romances invariably end with sex or intimacy, that's just how they're structured. I'm sure all the romances will develop into declared love in ME3.

OMFG! That is hilarious. 

[Tyreal42a]

I find them all awkward. But, Garrus and Tali are the only 2 that are even slightly believable to me. Call me old-fashioned, but developing romantic feelings for someone takes time. The ME1 relationships are just a few conversations, then suddenly you're sleeping with them. Same with ME2.



The exception is that Garrus and Tali have been with you for all of ME1 and supposedly still with you for a month or so after that to clean up the Geth before you die, then ME2. I can at least see the possibility of romantic feelings between them and Shepard developing. Perhaps that's part of the reason why they seem so popular?

[redguppie]

Probably to the LI it already is developed into love. Most of them are risking something that they wouldn't do for a passing whim. Jack even gives you the option for a one time romp so it's hard to believe that the next romantic scene isn't deeply emotional for her character. Garrus is risking his only friendship and an allergic reaction to your bodily fluids. tali is risking the same things as Garrus with the added benefit of possibly dieing. Not sure about Miranda but she seems to at least like you as a person enough to tell TIM to go to hell at the end. not sure about the rest but I would bet it is similar.

Have you romanced Miri? The fact is that she knows alot about you (more then you might think) and that she slips her feelings about you after you have done her quest. It's nothing like Jacob who like starts flitering with you from the get go and thinks your a prize. Garrus is way to awakard, Tali feels more like a little sister. Jack and Thane are very emointal. If anything Miri in my mind is the best because it's not fast at all.

[Inquisitor Recon]

Liara went off the deep end (look at the crazy eyes) and Ashley kinda wants to stab you for joining Cerberus.



So I imagine Shepard can get away with anything.

Jacob just see's you as a "prize" and says Miri needs a better. man then her, a huge diss to Shepard. Miri has alot of feeling for you and to see them you need to pick the choices to get the most out of it. Would I call it love? Not right now, could it turn into love in ME3? Yes it can.

[apotheosic]

yeah, the ME1 romances felt like "hey we're probly gonna die. you're attractive, i'm attractive, wanna do it?"

whereas the ME2 romances fel ta lot more personal and fulfilling. of course i only have Tali's for perspective. but i thought it was pretty emotional and 'realistic.' (as much as romance with an alien can be...)
