Jaal's romance is way sweeter and personal than any of the other romances BioWare have given to M/M. So for me, it was groundbreaking stuff (for BioWare). Loved it! I think more companies are doing the romance stuff better lately. They really need to step it up in Dragon Age if they don't want to lose their market altogether.

That’s no surprise, since his romance was sweet with female Ryder. I am considering giving male Ryder a try with Jaal to see what it is like.

Hope BioWare continues to improve the different options (m/m, f/f, and more) to allow more diversity.

I am Angara trash, but honestly, I wasn't all that into any of the aliens in the Original trilogy aside from the Drell. Yeah. Jaal is the only reason I can enjoy Andromeda. Before him it felt like my options were bad or worse. Kaidan was so far away, and there's no way Reyes or Gil were taking his spot.

I am Angara trash too, haha!

Speaking of Milky Way races, I liked the Asari the most, before Andromeda came along.

Now its the Angara. :wub:

So much fun and creativity to be had in a new galaxy! *plotting the fanfics*! :wizard:

Ok, @lee80 , aside from you being an alien lover, it does seem like you're right. Reyes? Criminal scum. Gil? Comes with Jill. Jaal seems free of attachment and those love scenes I've never seen look very nice.

Before him it felt like my options were bad or worse. Kaidan was so far away, and there's no way Reyes or Gil were taking his spot.

Garrus - Never that enthused.
Wrex - lol. Uh. Let us not go there.
Mordin - No!!
Grunt - Maybe I would for laughs.
Thane - Sure. Not perfect, but I would have picked him for a m/m romance if I could.
Javik - I dunno man..

I think there were non-squad male alien characters I was interested in, but I don't feel like trying to remember them all.

Jaal is the best so far (and who became an actual option!), but I still give him 4/5. To be fair this is at/above any other m/m in the series.

I'd put him in the top 5 main romance stories in the series (out of uh... 15 or more).

Saw Davrin's boobs posted instant click! Ah, always nice to see some posts in the Jaal thread too. I have to say Jaal is certainly the most enjoyable BioWare romance yet. I really hope we get more Andromeda in the future, and if not-I seriously hope someone is inspired by this and gives me more space cat husbands at the very least. :whistle:

I have to prop my Jaal pop against something or he falls over. He was not designed to stand on his own very well. I'm always glad to support him though. :wub:

I've been playing other games for romance, but here's hoping they finally give us a fair shake in the next Dragon Age.

Jaal was great. Overall I found the romances in MEA to be lacklustre with the exception of Jaal (and Reyes). I actually found the fact that you have to befriend him first before you can romance him to be an interesting twist on the typical BioWare formula. I hope they do something similar in the future, or at least have it so that different companions are romanced in different ways. (Some are immediate and sexual, others are slower and more platonic, etc...)

Either way, love the octopus-cat man.

Well, I'm going through my first playthrough of Andromeda and I've finished Jaal's romance. While the pacing is a little weird, the sweetness is enough to make me fall over. It's as though Bioware distilled aspects of Kaidan, Thane and Garrus into him and the way Ryder and him banter the way two young lovebirds do make me go awwwww! I'm off to romance Liam as well so I'll come back to gush later.
