Jacob was terrible. Awesome abs cannot save you from his terrible personality. I couldn't understand if he was a nice guy or a pimp trying to get laid. Not to mention the boring backstory and the talk about how he wasn't good enough for Miranda. What does that make me then? Seriously, who wrote this guy?



Thane needs to stop talking about his dead wife. It worked with Carth because he eventually moved past it, but even then it was awkward. Again, I just feel like a replacement. Why doesn't Bioware go down the road of people having previously bad relationships or relationships just not working out. Instead it was the greatest relationship ever and he's still mourning her death years and years later. Not to mention that whole photographic memory thing. Fantastic, maybe he can have one of those flashbacks about his wife while Shepard and him are having sex.



Garrus had the most potential, but in the end he was just my friend. Romantic dialogue with him was awkward, the romantic scene at the end was awkward. I felt like the people writing this game really didn't want to put this in. Shepard and Garrus are supposed to be close, but the romance just doesn't work. They are close like a brother and sister, which is fine with me.



So yeah, sticking with Kaidan, who I loved. I just better be able to get him back in ME3. Funny, I had more success in the game where I had one choice than in the game I had three.

Re: Jacob's Backstory. Its from an iPhone app that you can play on an iPhone or iPod touch. I'm hoping Bioware ports it over to other platforms eventually, since its screws a large portion of us out of playing a ME game that gives a lot of backstory to ME2.

As to FemShep romances...?

1. Jacob I shot down as fast as I could because It Was Just Wrong

2. Thane was pretty hot, but his googly eye flashbacks were creepy. Especially if you romance him and he Flashbacks in front of your ME1 LI. That'd be bad.

3. Garrus... Garrus has potential, but unfortunately the writers basically took the LI in ME2 as 'Lets screw' rather than, 'We've been fighting the good fight together, and been through so much and... y'know... I actually really like you.' (Insert Turian finger quotes where appropriate) My FemShep would definitely love to try something real with her Apprentice to the Dark Side, but the way its written its just one 'Wham, Bam, Thank Ye Ma'am' before Omega IV. ;_;

I honestly don't think of it that way. With the cuddling you can have post-Omega, I imagine Garrus and my Shep caring very deeply about each other after the fact.

I never participated in any of the romances in Mass Effect 2. Personally, I prefer not to get into the romantic subplots in my RPGs. In fact, the only game where I was unable to avoid a relationship (Outside of a JRPG. ) was the Original Mass Effect, when Ashley decided to jump my bones. XD

[Ray Joel Oh]

I am of the completely opposite opinion. I thought the female romance options from ME1 were incredibly dull and I love the romance options in ME2. Kaiden was as bland as chewed gum and girl/girl isn't my thing so I didn't go with Liara, even though she was the most likable of the three LIs. Jacob is a slightly more engaging Kaiden, but Garrus and Thane are awesome. Both have great personalities, stories, and voices. I'm really hoping ME3 expands on your romance choices from either game in a significant way, because I think they each have somewhere interesting they could still go. I just worry that they'll have a hard time fitting in significant interactions from so many characters from both games. I'll be crestfallen if Garrus doesn't have a significant role in the last game, and I'm sure many other people will feel the same way about their own preferred LIs.

lol you guys.



If Garrus and Shepard are just having a cheap one-night stand, why is he so visibly hurt when you turn him down? He just loves sex that much?

of course, can't you tell... you really should learn to read Turian body language...

Say what?  MaleShep gets two hot human LIs and a hot alien LI? 
We don't even know what Tali's face looks like.  For all we know, you take her to your cabin and get her face mask off and her face looks like Linda Blair from "The Exorcist".  

I'd soooo hit that...

 Jack is hot?

yes

JohnnyDollar wrote...
 Frankly I don't think Miranda is that hot either and she is a Cerberus ***** and I don't trust her or Chambers.

so what does that make Jacob? An even more boring Cerberus puppet?

[MassEffect762]

Letting us romance Tali would have been tempting to me.

I'm playing through second time as a female Shepard and find my options for a romance is Thane the lizard man, the armor skinned Garrus, or Jacob the black guy

Eh, to me all the ME2 LIs are somewhat lacklustre.
Thane is too manufactured, Jacob is... ugh, a black guy..

Fixed.

[Sailfindragon]

I play maleshep (never play femshep) I personally think Shepard should be male. However it is good that players have the choice.

Male Shepard has very little choice either.

Miranda takes every avaliable opportunity to show her ass at you. When you talk to her she gets cold if you don't validate her perfection, stroke her ego or try to romance her. Why would I want to romance someone who walks around acting like a super model ho sticking her ****** and ass in everyones face. I won't even go near the whole daddy issues...that is for another discussion.

Jack is damaged goods and I only wanted to be-friend her, but within a couple of conversations you get accused of wanting to have sex with her! Crap if that was real life I would be accused of wanting to have sex with every other male I met. My male shep wants to show her that not everyone is out to use her.....but that just doesn't seem to happen. I avoid talking to her now.

Tali is sweet, but frankly it would be like cradle robbing romancing her. Plus she seems a little to obsessed for my liking....borderline stalking. BTW I love Tali's character, just not the option to romance.

Kelly is basically a booty call.....with the possibly of STD's.

FYI......I am a female gamer!

I kept the option of being faithfull to my ME LI.

See that's where I think that story could be expanded.  At this point it is kind of a friends-with-benefits thing, but there's a possibility of more going on.  I'm hoping ME3 will give you the option to move it towards something more significant.  Or you could just go back to boring ol Kaiden.

Also hoping they don't shortchange the established relationships by adding a ton of other new romance possibilities.  Unless they are willing to make the game 4 disks long or something...

Stole your signature, btw

That's interesting.  Why do you think that?

[IccaRa]

Yeah, it's such a shame that FemSheps get to choose between chiseled abs, silver-smooth space ninjas and scarred-up studs. It's such a shame that she can finally taste the alien and racial rainbow in ways ManShep only wishes he could. Such a shame that all the options are different and appeal to a variety she's never had before, like a galactic buffet of hawt. Such a shame that they all express genuine interest in her. Such a shame that none of them have to rely on pink lasers and mind magic to please her. Such a shame.

[dietrichrieper]

just started playing fem shep in me1, because that’s how we roll....

but what I have been reading is really interesting, especially the romance with garrus, I get the feeling that the relationship between shep an gar has the potential to become really complex.

What i have been reading is that he’s the friend you don’t sleep with, you know who, most of us have a friend like that.

They could develop this into an impossible relationship, which would be really refreshing instead of the "real love" thing again.

[EVILFLUFFMONSTER]

Femshep can romance morinth but of course you will regret it eventually. Plus im getting pretty flirty with my assistant, how can she not sleep with femshep?

[shnellegaming]

I'm a Thane and Garrus Fangirl myself. I loved what they did with those characters. Except for the sticking Garrus head on a premade NPC turian body. That was so lazy graphic design render.



I seriously wished they had created a better human LI though. The entire dialogue tree with Jacob made me want to just cringe. I'm all for strong female characters, but every option made me feel like I would cheapen my FemShep. There's being forward, and then there's being s l u tt y.

WOW.  Exactly this.  When I first saw Jacob, I thought, Oh cool--eye candy!  I mean, what with that nice, tight little suit of his...*ahem*...but then we get to actually know Jacob.

And he's boring as all hell; he replaced Kaidan in the 'completely-dull-safe-soldier-useless-biotic' department.  And then when he said that he wasn't good enough for Miranda and I'm here trying to romance him, I was like...wtf?!  Now I don't want to romance you anymore buddy!  Because I am certainly better than that 'oh-woe-is-me-I'm-perfect' hussie.  The only thing that made it slightly okay was that nice little cut scene right before the Suicide mission.  And the line where femShep says seductively to Jacob, "Make me" and continously calls him, "Mr. Taylor."  Besides that...blah.

Thane needs to stop talking about his dead wife. It worked with Carth because he eventually moved past it, but even then it was awkward. Again, I just feel like a replacement. Why doesn't Bioware go down the road of people having previously bad relationships or relationships just not working out.

Fantastic, maybe he can have one of those flashbacks about his wife while Shepard and him are having sex.

I am glad I am not the only one to think this.  I really like Thane; he's interesting, but the way he talks of his wife in conjunction with his drell eidetic memory, there's just no way my femShep or anyone else for that matter, can really measure up.  Which is fine and it gives his character depth, but that just makes him into a really good friend and not love interest.  Sorry, not gonna compete with your perfect, dead wife.

Garrus had the most potential, but in the end he was just my friend. Romantic dialogue with him was awkward, the romantic scene at the end was awkward. I felt like the people writing this game really didn't want to put this in. Shepard and Garrus are supposed to be close, but the romance just doesn't work. They are close like a brother and sister, which is fine with me.

Again, we are exactly on the same page.  I always saw Garrus as a guy friend--someone I can kick back with, shoot ****, etc lol.  Out of curiosity, I tried the romance with him and...omg, it was so ****ing awkward, especially with him talking about "research" and how they would...do this...and I was in non-stop squirm mode.  I mean, it was funny and cute as hell, but so...not...working lol.

So yeah, sticking with Kaidan, whom I loved.

Yeah, I romanced him, then killed him off due to his extremely boring nature (sorry Kaidan fans lol).  What's funny is that, in the end, due to my fail romances, the only character that seemed like maybe something was possible was actually Samara.  Who ends up rejecting you lol (though I'm glad she did).  So basically, my Shepard is one big loner and that's fine by me.

They actually recorded a lot of the lines for a femshep/tali romance.

Shepard is 29, Tali is 24. How is a 5 year difference cradle robbing? Does the 6 year difference between Miranda (35) and Shepard count as her cradle robbing? How about the 10 year difference between Thane (39) and Shepard? Does that count?

Also: I'm counting Shepard as 29 since s/he spent 2 years dead, and so didnt really age between ME1 and ME2 imo

Nah. Otherwise, your option to reject him wouldn't be "I want to be your friend". That's the entire point of FRIENDS with benefits, isn't it? You have sex, but you're still just friends. I think that conversation is the one that pushes the relationship into something more, but it isn't outright stated.

Also, I too consider Shepard to be 29 since he/she did not really age physically or mentally during those 2 years. So Tali's romance is definitely not "cradle-robbing".
