Yeah Shep should've just let the Reapers show up 6 months early and kill that 300k anyway, while also dooming the whole cycle (Crucible wasn't discovered yet). Jacob cheated because he was unpopular and the writers didn't want to bother with writing dialogue to continue the romance when barely anyone went after the Priiiize (too heavy risk, I suppose). Hey I think it was the right call, but I am not surprised when people move on when their significant other is in prison. You aren't married, you've only been dating for like a few months. It was far more realistic than all the permanent mooning over Shepard stuff you get from the other relationships. “Realism” here is probably more accidental than anything. The few people that romanced Jacob probably weren’t worth the word budget from their point of view. I’m sure that’s also why BioWare added the whole slapping scene in the Citadel DLC as one of those nifty little fan feedback responses. Realism never really struck me as particularly meaningful for this sort of thing, because I can’t make Shepard hit the bar and chat up random people, like real people can do. It’s just a bunch of animated mannequins, so it really comes down to the few interactive assets they provide the player, but they’re clearly dictated on popularity.

Don't disagree with that, but at the same time as a fan I didn't see it as that bad as it actually did make sense. If they somehow stumbled into better writing out of laziness so be it.

It was far more realistic than all the permanent mooning over Shepard stuff you get from the other relationships. Jacob was the only LI to say "I love you" at that point lmao. Then 3 months away and he's already knocked a random NPC up. Like Shep's in the military, regardless of prison he'd have known she's gonna go on deployments much longer than that. I guess its "realistic" in the sense that there really are lots of flaky piece of shit people out there only interested in one thing and if they aren't getting it they'll go elsewhere pretty quick Have to admit it's bad optics that the character Bio picks for that role is the only black guy. Not the weird aliens, not the VS who lost you for 2 years and thinks you betrayed them anyway, the black guy who said he loves you after knowing you for 3 weeks. Lmao It was terrible optics, and probably a bad call for fan service, but it does make sense and was better writing than the other relationships which are almost all creepy levels of obsession.

I don't think it was better writing. As I said it didn't really flow naturally from the character's portrayal in ME2. If they wanted a relationship to explicity not work out, there are other options that made more sense and would've flowed better. The VS is one. Garrus another (horny Femshep treats him like a fling at first, and he also gets with Tali later, so has eyes on someone else). Those fanbases are much bigger than Jacob's though, and would have caused a waterfall of salty tears, so Biower picked the unpopular black guy to dump you instead. Jacob cheated not because of in universe reasons relating to his or your character, but because of practical reasons beyond the fourth wall. Its not really "realistic" in that sense.

If this game is centuries later, I wonder how they’ll handle the Liara romance. Will people react badly if Liara was with other people, or maybe even an option for the new PC, instead wanting her to only be with Shepard then be alone for the last 800 years of her life?

Yes, yes they will. I remember seeing Garrus fangirls and Talimancers who would always kill the other character every playthrough This simply because there was an alternate universe where their imaginary waifu was with someone else. These people are insane. I wanna see the hate threads tho, so bio should do it. Give Liara kids with someone else from 300 years later, even. Grunt. He gave her a blue rock. They were meant for each other.

I would guess, this doesn't even come up. If the game is set hundred years later, with a dead Shepard as a historical figure, why would LI's of Shepard be talked about? And I wouldn't expect Liara to be available as an LI if she has aged as much as assumed in your example. But, that being said, if BioWare would want to go that route, they could let you answer simple no/yes questions during the character creation or during a "what has happened so far"-intro a la the genesis comic for ME2.

She'll probably have an Asari aid that, if you had a Shepard romance, she will refer to as her daughter, if not, there will just be an Asari aid with a different face and name.

They were meant for each other. As a Liaramancer myself, I'll just say I'll be fine with whatever. That said, I'll definitely be looking forward to the absolute salt from people if Liara is either romanceable in the new game or hooked up with someone else after Shepard died. Although I do know at least one person who had high hopes to see, in his words, "MILF Liara", so it can go either way lol

I can feel it lol Nah, we get a nice mature Liara in tight leather outfit and from her 600 year experience with various other tentacled partners from various species we can basically have a library of erotic tentacle encounters. Think of it as the BD of Mass Effect, and Liara is actor, editor and producer in one person.

If that's the case, I would have the main character ask her about that. main character: So you're the asari named Liara T'soni? t'soni: I am. What about it? mc: I've read the book written by Shepard about his/her time with dealing with the reapers. Have you read it? t'soni: I.....I believe i have. mc: Are you sure? Shepard doesn't think much about you. From what I read, Shepard never cared about you. She/he even goes as far as regretting not throwing you back in a volcano. If Shepard were standing here, I would ask him/her what was wrong with him/her to even have you on the squad. t'soni: That's not true. I.....I.......have other matters to attend to. mc: I'm sure you do. hahahahaha squadmate: Why even bother talking to her? mc: Simple. She wrote a book that is completely opposite of what Shepard wrote. I would take Shepard over that asari any day. All you got to do is look at her face when I mentioned Shepard's book I read. She's full of crap. You will also notice to spell her name, you have spell liar first. Enough of that. Let's get back to the mission at hand

Search your feelings; you know it to be true. So if she’s never romances, what? She’s the 400 year old virgin? In all seriousness, I just expect her family or live life to never come up so that the Liara fans won’t be upset she has moved on centuries after their character died.

I am gonna take a guess that they are bringing shepard back. After all why have her pick up a piece of N7 gear for no reason? It is clearly a massive hint that shepard is coming back in some way.
Remember N7 is special ops so I doubt she could just bend down and randomly find some of their gear. You also see a krogan in the backround which might hint at wrex or grunt. I think I saw some backwards knees too so maybe a turian or quarian... aka Garrus or Tali.
Of course it was a vague trailer for a game that is probably five years away so who knows

I remember many thought that with the first Andromeda trailer, and it turned out to be Alec Ryder. N7 is just an icon of the series, like the blood dragon for Dragon Age.

Nah, she's in long term relationships with an Elcor, Krogan and Yahg … 'cause after Shepard, no single person can embrace eternity with her.

The middle figure is ryder, and the right is probably drack, since grunt doesn't know them. As for the n7, check out my thread bsn.boards.net/thread/18690/analysis-on-teaser-all-mean
