Mass Effect Romances

First topic message reminder :

Any spoilers will need a spoiler tag please.

Anyways, I think romances are a big part of the game. Well not big but kind of important. It just adds more depth of the game and connects the player with character/s.

Mass Effect 1 Romances
Ashley-ManShep
Kaidan-FemShep
Liara-Both Man and Fem Shepard

Mass Effect 2 Romances
Can remain faithful to previous Mass Effect 1 Romance
Jack-ManShep
Tali-ManShep
Miranda-ManShep

Spoiler:

Garrus-FemShep

Spoiler:

Jacob-FemShep
Thane-FemShep



In should be noted that in Mass Effect 3 it has been reported that there will be homosexual romance options.

I believe that Ashley is my favorite romance option overall and in ME2 Jack. I haven't played as a FemShep so I can't really comment on that.

You secretly love me and want my body...

Isn't she? I love her.

WHAT!?!?! What gave you that impression!?!?!

And no Tali is the worst!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel flamed......

And she is....even miranda is better.....

I feel trolled.

Well maybe you shouldn't like the most boring character in the game <_<

But that is Jack...

No <_<

Ok Tali isn't the most boring character (she was in ME1 though). She is rather boring though....they gave her some character in ME2.

Ashley was. And she's still hot and alluring.

No.......no.no.no.no.

And she's in a freakin suit that she uses the bathroom in. You have no idea what she looks like........I forgot that you like that.......

I like her personality...

Why? Seems like the opposite of what you like.....

Maybe that's why in a strange way...

I'll never understand the love for her.....
People be obsessed.

Well, I never had a chance to play FemShep, but I've seen videos of the scenes.
Ashley- I liked her in two conversations- one about her past, and the romance scene. Everywhere else I wanted her to just shut up.
Miranda- Pretty neutral. She's less annoying than Ashley was, but still annoying, but has nice characterization in her loyalty mission/courting scenes.
Jack- oooh, the psycho has a soft side and is hiding pain behind her anger facade? She's a walking cliche more so than Miranda, and the fact that I dislike her design doesn't help. Plus I keep expecting someone to walk in on me while I'm in a scene with her and ask, "what the hell are you playing?!"
Tali- I like her the best, but I don't get the fanboy-ism for her. She was a pretty flat character in ME1. Still, I do like her in ME2.

From What I've seen
Kaiden- A bland character. Plus it irritates me that it's not pronounced kai-den, like you'd expect, it's pronounced kay-den.
Jacob- The only male human option in ME2. Decent, if you ignore the meme he spawned.
Garrus- Great, if only because every single conversation seems to be 40% awkward silence
Thane- Another slightly cliched character, he's done okay enough. I just don't like listening to him.

The PRIIIZE!
