do you want this or not?
Stuff like Tali and Garrus banging one another.
Jimmy and Ash coming onto each other.
Javik taking advantage of Liara's girly crush on him by being a massive dick to her at all timez.
I'm for this.
As the great philosopher of the 90's Snoop Dogg once said, "Ain't no fun if the homies can't have none."

You mean... romantic situation right?
If that true, I can live with that as long as that relationship make sense.

Liara didn't have a "girly crush" on javik, she was interested in him because he was a prothean, but yes I love it when companions hook up so I wouldn't mind.

Well, we had Fenris and Isabela, Dorian and Iron Bull, Josephine and Blackwall, Tali and Garrus, James and Ashley... so I would be surprised if they didn't add anything.

Garrus/Tali's relationship materialized too late for me. I'd like to have seen them grow closer in ME2 and then rekindle the romance once she returned to the Normandy in ME3. By the time it happened, I couldn't care less.

As long as it is handled well i don't have an issue with it. I liked that Tali/Garrus took comfort in each others arms if not pursued my player.

I agree with others that I like when the NPCs actually develop relationships (romantic and platonic) with each other outside of the PC's influence. It adds a dynamic quality to the group that I appreciate.
In addition to the "two unromanced romance options get together if they aren't being romanced by the PC" approach (like Isabela/Fenris, Tali/Garrus, & Josephine/Blackwall styles), I'd also like to see two other styles of NPC-to-NPC romance.
First, I'd love to see the return of an already existing couple joining your group (think Jaheira/Khalid - minus the unfortunate BG2 storyline). Maybe a husband and wife (or two husbands or two wives) where one of them is a squaddie and the other is an advisor/expert on ship. That could be an interesting dynamic to explore -- how does the stress of the situation influence their relationship? I'd enjoy seeing that. Plus, it would add some additional stress to missions where someone might die (like the suicide mission) if you take the spouse with you. Could be fun to explore. Even more so if we don't have to play counselor to them -- just observe through discussions and background dialogue how their relationship is changing over the course of the missions.
Second, I'd love to see two non-romanceable characters get together (kind of similar to Joker/EDI or, to a lesser degree, Aveline/Donnic just because he's such a minor character). Two characters that just aren't into Ryder, but aren't also totally uninterested in a relationship altogether. Again, adds an interesting piece to the development of those relationships. The quest where you help Aveline express her interest in Donnic is one the most memorable companion quests for me. It was fun and didn't rely on every character interested in romance falling for the PC.

I have no problem with it as long as they don't ever allow the PC to watch.

What I find (perhaps more) valuable in squaddie relationships are the teasing they can do with each other, comment on each other, have interesting banter, show some cooperation or differences of opinion, and generally give us an insight into their personal backgrounds and viewpoints. I did not enjoy having to be the one (as protagonist) to having to find out everything. The ribbing the squadmates would do in the Citadel Tower elevators (ME-1) had some humor which made the rides a bit more enjoyable.
Intra-squaddie relationships may be okay but I see them as a distraction. For me it should only go so far as to enlighten the character's personalities and backstory, have some kind of bearing on the overall story, or add helpfulness during a mission. For example in ME-2 it might have been nice to hear Zaeed say to Garrus: "Hey Garrus (or: 'Hey Gary') can you snipe that biotic on the right? Give me a distraction so I can lay down cover fire for Shepard." They need to work as a unit, so some unit banter during a fire-fight and cooperation among themselves would add to a more realistic and immersive effect, I think. Say the player is an Infiltrator and has Garrus in the squad for a mission. They could have a standing rivalry as to who's the better sniper during a mission. Their showing sexual interest in each other? I'd have to see how it's done before I would find it useful in an ME story. Having intra-squad sex for no other purpose than to interject juvenile voyeurism for the game player isn't useful; it's nonsensical.

I'm not a fan of this at all. Like Obliviousmiss, I didn't like all the pairings. Another reason I don't like the idea is because when I was playing DA2, I was romancing Fenris in a playthrough, and for some reason, just because I didn't drop what I was doing and go immediately talk to him, he and Isabela had a certain disturbing conversation while we were running around Kirkwall. I had just turned Anders down after doing a few quests and was on my way to go talk to Fenris when that happened. So then I had no one because like hell was I going to be with him after her (Sorry Izzy fans). I'd rather not have it in game if it can glitch out like that--because they should not have had that talk. Enough bugs happen in the game, and I'd rather not have an opportunity for the romance to be messed up because of it. And yet another reason I have against it is from ME3. James Vega should have been an LI for femShep and not Ashley. I say this because unless you know to rescue Kaidan for ME3, straight femShep has no one (Thane dies, Jacob leaves you, and Garrus could be a bro not LI for some ppl). So they try to fix this with the Citadel dlc, but he somehow willingly hooks up with Ashley but femShep becomes a predator featured on the future version of "To Catch a Predator." Like, what the heck is that about? Additionally, I felt Tali and Garrus were just thrown together "just because." I thought Tali had way more of a connection with Reegar than Garrus. It didn't sit right with me.
