I think it could be pretty awesome if it's done right. If it's a serious relationship and not just a fling or something thrown in just for comic relief. As I've said elsewhere, it could be a way to show the characters connecting on an intellectual and emotional level before it even occurs to them to get into bed together.
It could also be a chance to take a step away from the stereotype of the always-angry, violent krogan who'd snap someone's spine if they tried to have sex. We've already seen a couple of mild-mannered krogan in previous games, and the Andromeda Initiative seems like the kind of program that would attract all sorts of people who don't fit in with everyone else, so there could be plenty of krogan here who are mellow, thoughtful, and gentle, having decided to join the Initiative because they just weren't getting by in their own society back home. Maybe some females who couldn't have children and therefore saw no point in staying on Tuchanka, or ones who just didn't want to be stuck there serving as brood mares.
Krogan engineers and scientists (not "mad scientists" like Okeer) would make for some fascinating characters, I think.
As for attraction, krogan always struck me as people who'd be more interested in someone's actions than their appearance. Like, imagine one of them seeing Ryder pull off an incredible move during a fight, and she's instantly smitten. If they're both tech specialists, or share some other scientific or engineering interest, some of their conversations could be them just geeking out over a newly-discovered alien gadget or some astronomical phenomenon, and they "click" so thoroughly that the physical part just becomes inevitable at some point.
Part of the fun could be the reactions from NPCs. "That's too fucked-up." Or, "You really 'did it'? How are you still alive?" Or, "I'm amazed your dick is still attached." To which both of them could have a range of reactions, depending on dialogue wheel options and Ryder's comments influencing the krogan's dialogue path.
Heh. Seems I've put too much thought into this ....
