She never says it. It's definitely a writer's choice. Also, if you haven't, go back to Meridian and talk to Cora. You'll have two last conversations with her where Ryder can ask her what she wants to do next and she mentions that the others all want to settle down as fast as they can while she wants to still explore. You can ask her if she'll ever want to settle, and she says something along the lines of, "I like what we have so anything is possible but for now I'd like to just explore the galaxy more". It's nowhere near the level of commitment Liam asks a female Ryder for example. :') EDIT: I just remembered though that the thing closest to the idea of settling down for Cora is how many times she mentions that she likes Eos. There's a quest to start a garden there, but there's also Nomad banter where for example Vetra asks her which planet she prefers between two choices and though Vetra doesn't mention Eos, Cora answers "Eos". I think it was also Vetra when she asks Cora where she sees herself potentially settling down one day and Cora says, "Prodromos. It's not much but at least it's ours". Absolutely, and that might also be more sides of her showing as she feels comfortable. But as you mention, she shows both sides and seem kinda split in the matter. I think she is exploring her way of wanting to settle down with Ryder when the fuzz is over. I guess it can just be hard to leave old fears and patterns regarding her past. But also interesting is just how the writing is so different with Cora, and it makes me curious.... ME1, No one as far as I remember says I love you, not in ME2 either.... but in this this new story, everyone except Cora of the mayor LI's says that they love him/her... wonder if the writer for Cora had such small detail in mind as Cora not saying "I love you", different from other LI's, and being back and forth about settling or not, because of her background. Then that's well written and reflects human behavior really well! |

If my Scott doesn't get an ending where he and Cora settle down on Eos with her being visibly knocked up and with their older young'uns running around and taking care of the family garden then I'll be upset.

I'd be fine with this if it only applies if you took the sex route with her romance. I hope those who take the non-sex route have their choice respected with Cora since she is the only LI who has done that so far and have a similar but different scene. |

I think Cora's unwillingness to say "I love you" goes along with her desire for adventure and exploration, which includes the reluctance to settle down. This side of her personality is only explored a few times in-game, but it's most present during her romance scene. She really does make exploring the stars together sound so tempting. I bet that it'll be immensely satisfying once Cora does finally say, "I love you". Hmmm.. I don't know if that's what you meant but I'm thinking that being adventurous persons doesn't necessarily mean that you don't want to settle down. And from what I understood during the romance option I chose with Cora, she was dreaming of peace and quiet with Ryder, but in an adventurous way I guess you could say. Hence all the talk about them together with only the stars, a rover and a tent. So I see her more like, deep down, the Norah Jones type of romantic. "I wanna wake up with the rain falling on a tenn roof while I'm safe there in your arms", if you know what I mean. But because of her background, it takes a lot for her to open up in that way and even more so to say "I love you". but that's of course only my thoughts of it so far.  Edit: My point with all this is was that if I had missed something or if this was the same for everyone, and if she never says it, is that a writer choice or a writer miss. But then again it's always fun speculating in why it would be if she just reluctant to say it I think it's more implied than anything else. I would say that settling down would come at the end of her adventure, and that Cora is more interested in discovering new things for the time being. She only begins to form a true identity at the end of her character arc, and wants to see more of what Andromeda has to offer before building a family with Ryder or something. Even with all that, she's more than happy to explore with Ryder even if it were just the two of them, and that says "love" to me.  |

Well, there is always Jill's method... Ha! I could actually see Cora using that as a funny way of making it happen. All determined and charming in that "oh you got me"-way that she is in the cabin scene. But then again, I might be a party pooper here.. but it's very unlikely since it's not very much what ANY ME games has had any focus on. It's just about saving the galaxy and maybe having that romance. Let's hope I'm wrong, since it feels like increasing the population is an essential part of building an new civilisation in a new galaxy AND could be something to evolve the story, giving ME a new dimension, or at least be a motivation to save the galaxy. MAYBE... it could even have such a big part in the story as in some of the (shame on me for bringing up games not made by bioware here) Fable games where your choices through out the game affects what happens to your family but with an ME touch to it. |

Bump Bumping into Cora is any man's dream, particularly from behind. |

But I'm also referring to her "no BS" mentality combined with still allowing herself too be emotional. All professional and confident in the one moment and then being all hot and needing you in the next. |

I think it's interesting how Lexi mentions, "your father would approve" when Ryder's relationship with Cora comes up.
Anyone know if there's similar dialogue when it comes to other relationships? I'm trying to imagine what Alec would have to say.

Guess it's because Alec only really got to know Cora the most, out of all the other love interests. Makes me hope that both the Ryder sibling and Ellen Ryder will get to comment on the romance in the future, and maybe mention more about how Alec might feel. |

The only other LI Alec would even know is Liam, and even then not nearly as well as Cora due to how long and close he and Cora worked together. Yeah, it'd be interesting to see how the family would react to the LIs. |

The Ryder sibling seriously needs to get out of bed already. |

The Ryder sibling seriously needs to get out of bed already. Now I'm replying to an older post after I've already replied to a newer one, so sorry for that. In general, as mentioned in the thread about improving the love story, there should be a lot more doing things and showing up as a couple or two persons that are "seriously dating" in the next patch, dlc or, hell, even the next game. Even though Cora might be the LI that gets the most attention LI-wise, it's still very few every day-like behavior of a two people that are commited to each other. |

I have to disagree, what Cora got is enough, there's no need to extend her romance content with patches, there's more important issues for Bioware to tackle, her romance works well as it is, and can be really relevant in the game if you choose so, their story will most likely continue through DLC, and that's how it should be.
