Hmmm...Many of us seem to love the idea of cross species romances but I wonder if we shouldn't talk about physical sexual compatibility. Recall that in the Dragon Age series, sex between Qunari and other races is described as not being safe for the non-Qunari. I wonder if the same could be said of various species in the Mass Effect series. On Earth alone there is a wide variety of genital diversity between species. I wonder if even a Human and Salarian or an Asari and Quarian wanted to have sex with each other, would they physically be able to? Or has technology been developed to help partners with non compatible parts find satisfaction? Not to suggest that sex is necessary for a meaningful relationship. Well Iron Bull did have sex with various Inquisitors- and other people without problem. I think Sten had line that it was dangerous, but I'm not sure how literal he was with it. Maybe being careful and have lot of prep would be simply needed. It's not like Qunari are poisonous to others, it's just that they are bit larger and can have more strength. In terms of ME, Mordin did talk to Shepard about compatibility with Tali, Thane and Garrus- there was some things to watch out like getting rash from Thane's skin and hallucinations from his saliva but conclusion was that sex can happen ^^; Asari in other hand can have sex with everyone it appears since their sex is linking nervous systems and minds. In terms of Kallo and Salarians, well they have canonically little to no sex drive, they only have sex for reproduction. So I think romance with Kallo would be one without sex. I guess I have to say that these are from my memory so I didn't check these from sources (even if they have those somewhere). Personally I agree with those who say Sten was just trolling Morrigan when he said that stuff. As for Mass Effect, yeah while some interspecies relationships require some precautions it is possible for them all to have sex with each other.

Personally I agree with those who say Sten was just trolling Morrigan when he said that stuff. As for Mass Effect, yeah while some interspecies relationships require some precautions it is possible for them all to have sex with each other. Is it though? I brought up genital diversity on earth alone, imagine the variances in a whole galaxy. Lets take Bedbugs for example. When Bedbugs mate there is no 'traditional' intercourse. The male just walks up and literally stabs a female with his needle penis. Female Bedbugs can actually die if they mate too often. Now lets pretend that there is a Bedbug analog evolving on a planet somewhere and they achieve spaceflight like the Rachni. I don't see humans or Quarians getting it on with alien bedbugs very often. Another less horrible example are Salmon. Salmon practice external fertilization and so their genitals have not evolved for intercourse. Male and Female Salmon swim side by side over a nest, the female lays her eggs and then the male releases his sperm...and then they both die. Lets imagine that there is a Salmon analog on a planet somewhere that evolves and achieves space flight. When they meet up with humans they will have no concept of sexual penetration which to some humans is an integral part of sex. On top of that if they did find a way to have sex with humans via sex compatibility tech they'd also be killing themselves. I don't think even an Ardat-Yakshi would appreciate that. Sex on earth is incredibly diverse and when considering the vast, albeit fictional galaxy of Mass Effect I find it hard to believe that all the species, even the handful we've encountered in gameplay, would all be compatible. Even still I can accept that future tech would overcome SOME barriers.

We have game and lore saying that things work out with various Milky Wayan species though. Humans can at least have sex with Asari, Turians, Drell and Quarians.. and ALs like EDI... also Protheans based on Citadel DLC. Asari can have sex with everyone since theirs is bit different. Bioware didn't go in exact detail with genitals though, but I'm not really expecting them to. However I'd think that all species wouldn't be able to have sex together especially if you count Rachni.

I will say it now, since it's apparent Jaal isn't recruited into a while in the game, Kallo will be the only character I flirt with because I need to know if he'll love me! He's so adorable, I love his voice and I just love Salarians. Please let my kokoro down gently Kallo, but I do have hope! Also, I really just want to be best buds with him. I liked Joker but never really felt super bro or close with him as I did other Mass Effect Characters so I would like Kallo to be my first bro pilot!

I hope that those of you hoping for an asexual romance with Kallo find it. I also wanted to point any looking for asexual inclusion to the show 'Shadowhunters' who recently revealed one major character to be asexual in it's second season. The show boasts a diverse cast and characters and they may be adding an asexual romance to the mix.

I'd love it if there's a platonic romance with Kallo. It sure does sound adorable.

I seriously need these NPCs to be super high quality and in depth. So far I'm way more into Kallo, Suvi, Gil, and Lexi than I am into any of the squadmates besides Cora.

I loved Kallo in the Twitch stream when Ryder jumps on the Tempest and Kallo says "Really Ryder?" Do you think if Ryder leaves a muddy boot print on the window, it's going to bother Kallo so much, he'll lock his console and refuse to budge the Tempest until Ryder goes out with a squeegee and wipes it off? Even if it involves having to perform an EVA?

Between the 2 videos and the 2 streams there's been a lot of Kallo today.

Well, I'm officially shipping Kallo/Drack until I lose interest in it. This is a dynamic that highly appeals to me: the grizzled elder eventually coming to appreciate the young hotshot.
