Is that like a friendship but with a bit more to it? I'm pretty sure you could just tack this description on to basically all relationships. Maybe. I just want to know how people in sexless relationships work. For example, is cuddling a thing? Is casual sex outside the relationship OK or is it a complete no go all round. I find these things very interesting, like cuckolding or polygamous/polyamorous relationships, I like to know what it’s like from their perspective. Alien loving though, I don’t wish to understand that. My little Imperial Guard friend here can administer the Emperor’s judgement to those guys and girls (if he’s still alive I haven’t been keeping up with 40k lore these days).

Usually thinks like casual sex outside the relationship doesn't since the people involved aren't interested in sex. But like every other relationship, it is too subjective to say what all are like since it depends on the individuals.

And well it’s not really derailing since those are the romances I want in future games. The closest we’ve had so far are some romances being ambiguous about it (Kelly, Suvi) or had it be an option (Cora). Avela is that kind since it only has a kiss but that romance has much less content than the others and is only just starting so who knows what it’ll be like in the future.

Well you never know what the future might bring. Maybe this new Mass Effect will expand on the romance angle and include a few more romance options that satisfy your wishes. I’m only speculating here but I get the feeling that the BioWare fanbase probably has a higher percentage of people in alternative relationship arrangements than society in general. Again though that’s just my speculation I have no solid evidence for that and so I could be wrong. Thank you for your reply.

Cadian Guardsman is just mad because the galaxy’s biggest failure finally achieved something by blowing up his worthless planet and now he’s been posted to Catachan where he has to stand alongside superior specimens every day of his doomed career.
I will light a candle for him when he gets his ass torn apart by a hormagaunt.

Avela is that kind since it only has a kiss but that romance has much less content than the others and is only just starting so who knows what it’ll be like in the future. Agreed. The other ones got too suffocating at times I would go back to ME2 just to kill them off just to see what differences it would do in the rest of the games.
I'm pretty sure you could just tack this description on to basically all relationships. Maybe. I just want to know how people in sexless relationships work. For example, is cuddling a thing?

Alien loving though, I don’t wish to understand that. My little Imperial Guard friend here can administer the Emperor’s judgement to those guys and girls (if he’s still alive I haven’t been keeping up with 40k lore these days). This sounds a lot like the Asexual sexual orientation... It is the fourth recognized sexual orientation -NOT as a gender orientation aside from Hetro, Homo and Bi. Those of this classification usually say they are not because it sounds so much like it is in the negative: AKA -ANTI. THIS IS NOT THE CASE -for like all other sexual orientations there is a spectrum. Some people still do have the attraction to which you speak but not to the same level as the others orientations. For me it is more an intellectual relationship than an emotional relationship. Since I have no desire of the cuddling or the other.
Again maybe I read the whole thing wrong. Thank you for your reply. I won’t derail the thread any more than I have already but I appreciate your perspective on that thanks. The thread wasn't going anywhere anyway. So derail away!😉 As you wish...

I want depth, buildup, and conflict. Start the romances with a little banter and flirting, or maybe sharing some personal interests. Only after that is established, that connection, should any expression of real feelings and caring begin. However, let's have one or both parties resistant in some cases. If your character is the captain of a ship and they're falling for a member of their crew, then confront the conflict of fraternization and its ethical problems directly. Do one or both parties want to avert the relationship because of this? How does the rest of the crew fill? Some might be supportive but others might be hostile to it.
What about when two different species are getting into a relationship? Their ought to be tension and more awkwardness. Maybe your character feels an attraction to a quarian or a turian or a batarian, but is still uncomfortable with actually going through with the relationship. Does the other person have to convince them? Is that person also uncomfortable? Once more, what do other people think?
If you go with a quarian then some people might think that is beneath you, as quarians often considered pests in Council Space. Some people might think it is just perverse to be with a turian or plain weird to be with a batarian. No doubt, a batarian is going to get strange looks from lots of other batarians for taking a relationship with an alien seriously. Or treating them as an equal.
Raise the issue of future children and family life, whether one side wants that or is against that, or whether they think adoption for mixed-species couples is ethical or not. Your, presumably human, main character might like Tali but might want children of their own and not want to adopt. How can Shepard and Tali resolve that or does one have to compromise or do they have to abandon the relationship at some point?
A missed opportunity in the Mass Effect trilogy is that you get lots of opportunities to characterize Shepard as being at least somewhat or outright xenophobic, and also very hostile and abrasive in general. So in that case, shouldn't Garrus and Tali approach the idea of a relationship with Shepard very differently? The characters would all feel a lot more realistic if they had these varied reactions and complex feelings.
