If you consider choosing the paragon option all the time a minigame =p

This particular minigame is a little more challenging in some of Bioware's other titles admittedly

I'd be ok with it if it was written well, and not just blurted out like derp Shep. Otherwise, actions and affectionate/playful conversations would be more interesting.

[Gabey5]

no.. that would be waay to cheesy, dramatic, and unrealistic.

That would be boring. In an mini game they need to leave those options out.

Shepard can't love...he's an unfeeling machine. The secret spoiler is he/she is a Reaper construct. Sorry folks.

That just may be personal taste, though. Some people believe praise and affection through words is the best expression of love -- but for others, it might be just spending time with them, giving and receiving gifts, helping each other or simply physical affection. One person may prefer that it be 'translated' to them in one way, while at the same time they express themselves in different way.

So, how does that translate to gameplay terms? Does that mean an "I love you" mini-game for each LI?

Well, if BioWare really wanted to make an in-depth romance, they could take a example from Japanese bishoujo/bishonen visual novels to make it feel like something more than an simple dating sim.

The irony is that most Japanese RPGs are extremely linear and don't offer the player a choice, while some Western RPGs do. BioWare doesn't put any effort into romances (they're basically treated like minor side quests), because they are not required to complete the game and do not affect the main plot.

So while Mass Effect and Dragon Age play a lot like visual novels, they are still just Western RPGs.

The Paragon-Renegade options?  Perhaps.

Yeah who the heck tells the person they are in love with they love them?  That never happens in real life.  I would immediately throw the game disk against the wall in disgust.

No. BioWare writers are as romantic as toilet paper.

It depends on what you do with it.

That is disgusting.

I'd give you a handshake or a high five but i don't know if i should anymore.

I'm pretty sure you can actually get Jacob to say he loves you in ME2 if you romance him. Although you have to follow a specific dialogue path during the sex scene to get him to admit it.

[wolf99000]

if we do get an I love you moment I think it will be at the end of the game for most LIs take tali if you do get her people a new home it will happen during the end scene of you building her that house maybe

Aye, I think you can. Likewise the L-word comes up twice (that I'm aware of) in Thane's romance -- once in Shepard's dialog ("I don't think we know each other well enough to call it love, but I feel something") and once in Thane's dialog (where he mentions it's possible for someone to love more than once in their life time re: Shep.)

I kind of like the implied use of it more than a straight "I love you" line.

No god no, please no. I love you is so bleh and fake and awful. But I suppose it's personal opionion, I would never tell a boyfriend or husband that I love them, it just sounds so fake. The more you say it the less it means, love should speak through actions not words.

That's about what I feel about it. So overused that it does sound fake.

That's a good statement.
I personally think an "I love you" is very valuable and intimate. Also saying and hearing it too often kind of wears it out like some kind of word inflation as meant in currency inflation.
But every single person ticks a little different about that.

If BioWare does write it good, not too cheesy but meaningful and deep, I'd very much enjoy my Shepard to tell his LI "I love you".

[cdsmith0]

Yes I want to hear my LI say that.

[Chuvvy]

I want the other members in the squad to recognize your relationship. They did it in DAO why not ME?

[Wild Still]

Shepard sings love songs and cuddles the Widow every night, Bioware animating that would just make me realize how creepy imaginary romances are.

An actual chill of fear went down my back on reading these words.

The more you say something means it means less?  How ridiculous is that idea?  Further, why not be loving in words and actions? Witholding love is actually more real than expressing it is basically what you are saying.  no thanks, strategically cutting myself off to make something more real sounds more abusive than loving.  Does me telling my wife I love her often mean I am fake and unloving?  You want to explain that one to me?

Garrus already says that he loves his rifle.

I sorta love him when he uses it to.  Especially the sniper rifle.

Kaidan said he loved you on Horizon.

That's why I stated that it is merely my personal opinion, I actually view using the term I love too often as abusive. For example say a man cheats on a woman, if he still wants to be with her but doesn't really regret cheating, he will say I'm sorry, I love you constantly but his actions will show otherwise.

I've never been cheated on or even had a boyfriend but if I do find someone and he tells me he loves me, my overactive and suspicious mind will immediatly suspect foul play. It's not really fair of me especially since I don't have a personal experience to back it up, it's just how I feel. Heck my parents aren't even divorced and they tell each other the L word reasonably often. I did not mean to imply that you don't love your wife, I'm sorry that I came off that way. 

@Raphael diSanto

I am a female, but I'm a female who doesn't like the word love, flowers, romantic dates, chick-flicks, or anything that focuses strictly on romance(the only thing romantically cliche I love is chocolate, you can't go wrong with chocolate.) My idea of a perfect date would be staying up late watching gory movies or talking about the idiocy of Jack Thompson. I'm also straight. So yes I suppose I am in the minority when it come to females but I'm damn proud of it.
