Reyes Vidal - No longer A Mystery (Official Thread)

Yep, as long as you tell Reyes he is the only one before going to Eos where Gil springs his commitment surprise on you. Once you commit to Gil, there is no force in the verse to stop him from being with Ryder. You end up with ye older man on Tempest that keeps you as his trophy boyfriend to parade before his forbidden love, Jill, and a shadow lord you build political alliance with between occasional passionate kisses. You can even end up fathering a baby, so that starts veering off into a space harem fantasy for a young sultan Ryder.

Reyes romance with his five scenes all fully dedicated to courtship, tbh felt more like an actual romance than what Jaal had to offer, but I already said that.

Here's hoping. I hope both Reyes and Lexi get more content.

I like both Reyes and Jaal, I think we can't compare them or their flirt options because they're not the same types of characters at all.

With Reyes it's more like a game at first, teasing, before he realizes that Ryder is not like "the other women" and he starts to feel something for her, and fears about what she can think of him.

Jaal is hard to tame at first because of course the Angara do not trust the initiative yet, but once he's in love, he's adorable. The only thing that bugged me was his first flirt e-mail coming too soon, while I had no flirt option yet with him. I wish there were more flirt options with Jaal to make the beginning of relationship more convincing.

It seems something happened in the cave with Reyes but they show only the kiss

Nice! Gives me hope that there will be an option in the sequel or something to tell Jaal it was not meant to be. I like my first Ryder very much, but really would loathe having her locked into jaal's romance for the next game if it happens.

I imagine so if there is a sequel. Like in the trilogy, in ME2 you had an option to stay loyal (to Kaiden/Ashley/Liara) or start a romance with someone new, and then in ME3 you had to choose to rekindle/continue. I'd be surprised if they did it differently and locked us into anything. The romance flags will be likely used just for dialogue references and whatnot, if there is any sequel.

Jaal's romance is plot important and I was under the influence of Jaal's hype, so I wanted to see it on the first PT. But I was disappointed with it. So, if Ryder moved to MEA2, I'd like her to have an option to switch LI like Shepard did, be it to Reyes or someone else.

Yes I was locked with Thane, even if Thane was just making a cameo. They should have made an option to be able to start a Garrus romance in ME3, and not only for people who started it in ME2.
I don't like romancing women, and Kaidan... gets on my nerves, and I don't even think I could romance him either because of the Thane lock. And anyway, for straight women who had Kaidan dead in their first ME1, and who were locked like me in a romance of ME2 (maybe it's the case with Jacob too), there was absolutly no option possible.

I was really frustrated by ME3 romances because of that. Couldn't have any.

I would have prefered more scenes with Thane, because apart from one little kiss, he ends up rejecting you a bit, saying "no more, I'm tired"...

I can't help it, I don't like Kaidan... I didn't even romance him in ME1 and prefered having no romance than romancing him (even if I saved him). I guess I'm not attracted to guys who spend their time complaining and being grumpy.

My Sara can't keep it in her pants, whilst "committing" to Reyes, she has casual banged PB, Keri and Liam.

Happened to me too... I spent my first PT of ME3 being like "can I romance Garrus? Ok, no, can I romance him now?? And what about now? No? Now? Oh it's over. Huh." Serves me right for mostly ignoring his character when I first played ME2 (it was the first ME I played so I thought I was all out of context).  I had no other options to lock in in that game either... suddenly everyone was sooo sympathetic with Shepard's dead boyfriend after years of unsuccessfully trying to ninja her at every turn

By the way, what happened in the cave with Reyes confuses me. I mean, Ryder is in full armor. Their crew is standing nearby. The sniper has not yet vanished into thin air. Slonae Kelly's dead body lies around. And it's a cave. Possibly a bit toxic, belonging to a system of caves, so more can stumble across the spot. It's not really the time for anything, yet Reyes makes implications afterwards...

They are oblivious to such important details.

Since time seems short I settle on hot kisses that keep his mind busy for days.

Maybe that email was drafted before the line "Don't you have a port to take? - It can wait" was cut.
