<<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>>
A few ideas come to mind
Forbidden love trope
A verboten squad or crew member or alien ambassador but Ryder succumbs to temptation that may lead to disaster.
Ice Queen
Early flirting in 2nd ACT but remains neutral until she professes her feelings at the very end.
Roller Coaster
Ryder and target of his affection come together early only to drift apart but come together again at the end
Helios Romance
Ryder needs to confide in someone and finds this beautiful alien female in her home world on a pilgrimage.
Mechanic wise, the romance triggers that lead to a romance path or multiple paths could be
1. how you act
2. what you say and how you say
3. situational choices and sequence of choices
4. Humorous / bad ass personality
5. modify your approach to a LI to suit the target's personality
6. off duty take your Li somewhere...
Last, Bio could always add a bonus surprise twist of a threesome like in the Jade Empire

Not quite how I expected this thread to go... but  I personally think that relationships will be more organic in the way that you will have romantic interaction outside of dictated cut scenes and PC initiated dialog. What do I mean by that? I mean that there will be romantic banter in mission, on board, on passing by the NPC, etc. I felt, like with the Kaidan romance, unless you talked to him specifically, he wouldn't say much romantic shtuff and even when you brought him on missions it was the standard banter, noting nothing of your relationship. That's just what I think. in DAI during some banter, companions will sometimes comment if you're romancing someone. I remember Dorian mentioned something about getting you back to Cullen in some banter, but that's it. It'd be nice if they included more of this. Also second whoever mentioned a companion wooing you for once. It would be a good mechanic if some companions try to reach for you depending of your actions. I mean we're no comander this time, we're just explorers, so it'd make sense. |

I mean we're no comander this time, we're just explorers, so it'd make sense. <<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>> Hm.... not quite. Ryder is a military trained Pathfinder that must start the human colonisation process to get into the critical path. Ryder's subsequent choices and actions determines how the final battle will end... it's a win or fail scenario. This implies Command. A decision maker that determines the fate of the human colonies. Also, Bio mentioned that during the leveling up process, choosing to specialize in one class will do you no favours. You may become a real bad ass soldier but your diplomatic skills will suffer... and you need to make alliances. From the above, Ryder is more than an explorer. |

Friendship wise I hope they make it a little more equal. Shepard was forever running around solving other folks problems and asking how they were feeling. It was seldom reciprocated and even then only slightly in ME3. I'd like a little more of my character being asked how I feel. Romance wise is it possible you might have physical relations with your love interest more than once? (If you want to that is).Of course if they removed the traditional ME let's get it on before we die mechanic how will we know when to expect a cut scene?  If relationships are to be more organic then I think it's essential that other characters comment on it. We don't love in a vacuum. Friends will always banter about your other half. |

I think they will. I don't really think it will be like DAI in a couple of aspects. One, you will have to have the person there for the quest step to spawn. Two, it'll be a little less fetchy.

It was bad in Mass Effect 2 and especially in Mass Effect 3: an example would be if you romance Thane where I don't think anybody tries to comfort Shepard or even asks how Shepard is feeling after he dies. |

I want this. I want Ryder to be human instead of the all-time saviour with no demons of his/her own (that's why I liked Shepard's nightmares because it made him/her human). I indeed also want squadmates/LI's/friends to comfort Ryder.. Both parties have to give something in order to make it work. |

It's probably not going to be too complicated. I see it like Dragon Age's approval system where you have to find ways to gain the LI's interest and it won't be as easy to do things that they disapprove of. There might even be instances where clicking the heart icon drives them further away because they can't take your character seriously until they've proven themselves.

I mean, Bioware has had romances in their games since 1999, it is obvious that it is a feature that has become a trademark and most likely won't ever be removed... so why keep it ( almost ) in a vacuum? Man, 7th of November can come soon enough!! |

The problem is as Hanako pointed out, a ton of dialog would have to be recorded in order to not only make it happen but also for it to feel organic. Not saying it can't be done, hell maybe that's why there have been some delays in the game's release date. |

What I'm most concerned with is that this new 'organic' approach doesn't result in some secret trick to triggering the romance that a player could miss out on. If I decide to romance someone I would like to think that I don't have to redo my run-through all over again because I missed out on some key response or something.
That would be extremely frustrating!
