Unpopular opinions

BioWare started with the game without the romances, the Baldur's Gate 1. After they tried the feature in Baldur's Gate 2, there was consistent demand for more and better. Romances are the most talked about features. The games that were contemporary to Bio's and produced by now defunct Black Isle/obsidian that skipped npc development and romances, while often more while in essence being the same games, even when more visually appealing or having better mechanics (icewind Dale series, NWN2, kotor2) did consistently worse, even a cult game like Torment. So, I think you have your answer as to why BioWare always provides digital simulation of the romantic part of the adventure, just like pretty much every adventure movie out there has a romantic subplot. It's what most humans do like as a part of the genre, that someone actually cares about their uber-hero and flashes breasts or abs at him or her, and tells them how so very pretty he or she is. It's normal to want it. We are both vane and social, and driven to reproduce.

I have no problems with other people's wet dreams. Ship yourself, or don't, let others ship. I don't see how leaping up in the air while spraying everything that comes up as a valid target with a shower of cool bullets/energy beams/deadly butterflies is any less of a viable way to stimulate my alter egotism, than picking and choosing which toned boy or girl is going or not going to end up In my virtual bunk, and just how sappy or not it gotta be. 

Good, then we are in agreement, and I am happy how Mass Effect is doing it, so I am happy playing it. I hope you too, and if not, well, there are plenty other ways to be royally entertained in the world of digital. Most games do not include joinable comps and relationships in any part of the feelings spectrum.

I...er....have never seen GoT.  Just googled gifs.  

 Hoo boy. Let's see...

-- ME3 was the best game of the series. ME2 would be the best if the Reapers were not part of the story (but they are, so it's not).
-- Sentinel master-race tbh. 
-- Suicide Mission is the most overrated mission in the game. Turn off the music while playing it and the gravity falls off a cliff.
-- I think playing ME3 on the easiest difficulty is the way to go because it pretty much makes Shepard boss-caliber strong, as it should be.
-- Kaidan was my buddy long before Garrus. I do not even consider Garrus much of a friend until ME3, tbh.
-- Tali is boring and should not have been required on Rannoch or Geth Dreadnought.
-- Liara's face isn't much better than Allers's.
-- People who think the Turian Councilor is mean are thin-skinned.
-- Kai Leng is a joke, but I enjoy having him around for my Shepard to kick his ass around.
-- Shooting Falere is justifiable.
-- In general, ME3 renegade was pretty rational, whereas ME1 & 2 renegade was just silly slapstick humor.
-- Anderson is a Mary Sue.
-- Freeing the real Rachni Queen in ME3 should have backfired. How the hell was she not indoctrinated?
-- Samara is as about as bad as most villains we encounter.
-- Shepard should have been able to try to rehabilitate Morinth after recruiting her.
-- Shepard should have tried to convince Grunt that Okeer's teaching are garbage rather than stand around and say "yeah, okay" like a dullard.
-- I felt like the general tone in ME3 was just right, as were the shifted themes.
-- TIM's eyes are not a sign of indoctrination. He was not indoctrinated by the Arca Monolith artifact, not indoctrinated until after Sanctuary when he gets the implant. I can prove this beyond reasonable doubt, too, so this is not really even an opinion.
-- I'm not opposed to BW designers trying to make squadmates sexually appealing. It's only a problem in my eyes if it entails dressing them impractically.
-- I'm okay with that ending. Don't love it, but am okay with it. Oh, and my preferred option is green.
-- Indoctrination Theory is not brilliant. It's actually more flawed than what we got.

There are probably others that I have failed to think of, but I think I got most of them.

Good god!

Alright, we're not enemies anymore.

Not necessarily. Aria, the second girl, is ye fiery shield-maiden sis, that omg, defies the gender roles (oh, wow!)Sansa is a pretty lady that only wants things to be sweet and pretty and marry a pretty prince, as the society dictates. But she changes as the books go on into something more sinister. Of the two, she has more potential to change her nature, while Aria is inflexible.

My unpopular opinion:
1) For the life of me I cannot understand the crap ME3 got when it came out. Yeah, I've read it all how it was about deceiving the fans and yadda yadda yadda. It's just a freaking game, people! Then again fan is short from word fanatic and I guess one can expect anything from them.
2) I really liked that there was no final boss fight in ME3, I think it was refreshing.

Arya best character. She chose wisely.

No.  I don't want to watch it.

You're right, read the books instead. They are far more superior.
