DA fan gives ME:A a second chance (Text Based Let's Play)

I went into MEA hoping beyond hope to find another Fan Love Soulmate thing. Like Thane. 

I don't...regret Jaal. But there were moments, a LOT of moments, where it became really obvious that the romance must have been written by a man self inserting his own personality into Jaal. 

I did not find Jaal tearing his dead pet bug apart and keeping it as a childhood momento in a box in his room charming. I really seriously reconsidering locking in over this. But then I reminded myself there was no one else and charged forward.
There was one flirt line I reloaded on because it was something like, "Jaal, I appreciate your ultimate realness" except what I wrote was acceptable and what Ryder said sounded like something a psychologist would say during marriage counseling. "Ok, Beth, Validate your husband Bob's honesty. Go!"

The sex scene where Ryder is moaning like a porno over a couple of kisses and then Jaal trails down for the oral. It just screamed, "This is what I think women want so there you go. Look how giving he is." Also, her boobs are not realistic, jutting out like that. 

And then it was crowned with his laughingly shouting to the party room that you're loud in bed. Just...   

I did like that he was a compassionate person to all the teammates. I like that he cared a lot about what was going on with the world, not just the Angara. I liked the Waterfall Scene for it's non sexual components. 

Jaal is no Thane. And I do not have a MEA Video Game Soul mate. The romance options honestly left me wondering if I shouldn't have a canon single Ryder so they're free for MEA 2.
