I wouldn't touch anything in regards to the stories but if you're asking if I want Cora style ass shots of Tali and Shep then the answer is yes

I'm honestly torn on making Kaidan romanceable for both genders in the first game. On the one hand, yeah, extra content, but they would also have to go in and add extra scenes to actually get to that point, like a threeway conflict, which is reportedly one of the things that kept them from adding it back then. Of course, if they're going to be adding extra dialogue anyway, then this isn't a problem. On the other hand, building up over three games really did feel like something special that made Kaidan's m/m romance stand out from the f/m version. Though maybe I'm just biased because I was with the series from the beginning. Will they have to, though? Rondeeno managed his same sex romance mod very nicely without adding extra content. He just worked with unused content. The one and only thing missing was the post-coital scene because that had never been created. Otherwise, altering romance flags seems to make things work just fine. In ME1 in particular, Meers and Hale said all the same lines, even the ones they'd never use in the game.

Yes, reversing the romance flags, which essentially means reversing Shepard's gender flags, then doing some extra tweaking to make sure the game recognizes that Shepard is actually male. Seems like the only way to do that without a three-way confrontation is with the dreaded gay toggle.

It imports nicely into ME2 but there's a bit of unvoiced dialog in ME3 that would have to be fixed as well as allowing Shep and Kaidan to "remember" their previous romance when they go on a date at Apollos's.

At least you never have to hear Kaidan accuse you of "cheating" after he tells you to get lost on Horizon. I always consider that convo a break up at the very least. Cheating isn't possible in that situation.

I should have said this right off the bat, but more gay options in the first and second game. Maybe if Cortez was introduced sooner in the first game, maybe if Jenkins could have survived as an option and as a teammate, I don't know, but as much as I complain about the heterosexual options for a Femshep, gay guys had worse over two games. If Garrus was bi, I'd be ok with that because it'd be far better than to hear how heartbroken some guys were in not getting to romance him. I don't know what the answer is, but at least Andromeda addressed it a little.

I''m not sure that''s true. Yeah, sure, it isn't voiced, but the dialog is there. That said, there's no one for my male Shep to cheat with so it's irrelevant.

I would've revamp the writing on romance because it is not well written, and the sex scenes should be TV-MA material.

I'd pick Cortez being introduced earlier or Kaidan being bi from the get go. As for me I'd have flirting with Garrus and Tali in ME1 to build up to their ME2 romances, and Vega introduced as an alliance associate in ME2 so femShep has more options.

Jenkins was a fairly decent fellow, he just had the misfortune of being a redshirt. Cortez I do agree would have been awesome to have around and it could have made his loss more profound had we been introduced to his husband earlier. I was thinking about how he wasn't a conception at the time of ME1, so tried to use a pre-existing character, but the more I think about it, the more someone like Cortez, Kaidan or someone else should have been there right from the start.

That's true, it would've had far more impact even if he'd died in the intro in .....I wanna say Vancouver? Then Steve would leave knowing he couldn't save him. I can't get past the way Jenkins says 'gorgeous'. Cracks me up every time.

Jenkins for romance? I guess for femshep? Instead of him being a romance option, what if he's used to give more time with A/K in ME3? I will explain.
Instead of Jenkins being killed on Eden Prime, he rendezvous with the Normandy after meeting Ashley. Back on the ship, Anderson explains that he is having Jenkins reassigned to another unit while Ashley remains on the squad. On Mars, A/K aren't injured by the evabot. After talking with the council, Shepard see's Jenkins who informs Shepard that he has been assigned as security for Udina. Now A/K remain on the Normandy for the whole game. Instead of having T'soni show up after the first 2 dreams, A/K can show up.
What about James? What about him? After Shepard meets with the council, James tells Shepard that he wants to go back to Earth. So he ends up staying on the Citadel waiting for a ride. During that time, Shepard can see him on the docks helping while waiting for his ride. After the coup, James decide he wants to join Shepard. Shepard will have the option to say yes or no.
Jenkins will do the same stuff, except he's not in the hospital, similar to what A/K currently have in ME3. He can be shot or not when facing Shepard while protecting Udina and the other councilors.
With the above it means A/K won't become a spectre. Not a big deal. Having that title made no difference in the game.

We get both of them alive, which would please me greatly. I know that goes well beyond remaster into remake territory, but I'd love to see it happen.

Even better is have one of the salarians, since it was their idea to begin with, to stay with the bomb. I'll go even one better. If all 6 squadmates are recruited, send the two that are on the ship doing nothing to get A/K, if not, send the two soldiers standing at the doors on the SR1 to get A/K.

I would leave them mostly unchanged. Though I think there could have been some artistic or creative way to make the ME3 romance scenes better. It looks really silly that you are having sex and sleeping together in your underwear in ME3. I'd prefer if they found some creative way to avoid showing nudity in the scenes by using clever camera angles or something. It looked silly when you were in your underwear in DAO and it looks just as dumb in ME3. ME1 did it well even if media had a fit about it over nothing. I think Ash's romance in ME3 could have been improved a bit personally. The writing is a bit poor in some areas. Make Kaidan romanceable for both genders right out of the gate. Have both Ash/Kaidan have more involvement in ME2 if they are your romance in some meaningful way. Give Jack and Miranda more content because they barely are involved with Shepard in ME3. Also allow them to get in on the Citadel DLC so I can avoid Liara "coming to my rescue." Fix that obnoxious Liara crap where being nice to her makes her think you love her. I still wouldn't be nice to her, but I quit two playthroughs because of this garbage. Also, stop having Shepard be friendly to Liara if you aren't friends with her. Its odd that in LoTSB DLC I act all buddy buddy with her (against my will), but I am rude to her when given the option. Same in ME3. My Shepards always smile when they first see her, but are very curt and rude everywhere else she isn't forced on me. It makes it seem like my Shepard has a split personality when it comes to Liara. And most importantly, I WANT KASUMI. I want to make Kasumi my Mass Effect bae so badly Bioware.

Playing a male Shepard the game tries so damn hard to make you pick Liara, and even Shepard/Liara moments well after a different romance is established seem to be a little too intimate for friends. I never really appreciated that. The whole damn series acts as if "you want to pick Liara" then tries to guilt trip you when you don't. It's a little annoying.

If you don't want to be a dick, just choose all the neutral options. You're friendly but it's clear you're not interested. Liara hasn't even brought up having "feelings" for me in ME1 in my current run. I just finished Feros (already did Therum and Noveria). You can also do Therum last, possibly even after Virmire, which ought to leave out any possibility of romance since you could already be semi-involved with A/K.

I forgot to mention one thing. I actually wish that if Shepard didn't have a romance going into ME3, that he could romance Kasumi. But I also wouldn't mind EDI being a romance for Shepard as well.
The game can give you the option to set her up with Joker, just be friends, or take an interest in Shepard. I mean, you spend more time shaping her character than Joker does. You have plenty of interactions with her as she learns to be human. Why can't she take a romantic interest in Shepard instead?
It would also give me the opportunity to actually pick the Synthesis ending (if it made a little more sense honestly). A human dying to save his synthetic girlfriend could be kind of interesting if done right? She speaks about risking nonfuncitonality for the crew/Jeff. So why not the opposite?

I'm tempted to say unchanged, however I wouldn't be against them going for a little more realism. That isn't to say make it hardcore or anything like that, but removing immersion-breaking stuff like taking showers with underwear on etc wouldn't be a bad thing.

And despite how you treat her, you're magically best friends with her.
