I am glad that at least Bioware is moving away from ninjamance. I think in DAI, it was clear which option was considered romance/flirting. I don't want to be too careful when picking dialogues, fearing that they might lead to romance I don't want.

After Iron bull in Inquisition I guess everything is possible lol. And it's not like they're going to show explicit scenes so it really doesn't matter how it works. And even with Garrus and Thane there was some minor issues with compatibility so it's probably only a matter of time when we're getting a romanceable krogan. That's true. Hey, guys, that reminds me: place your guesses on the more sexually active romances. When it comes to the squad, Most active to least 1. Gotta give it to Cora. said to be a freak in the sheets and all that. When you develop a relationship with her i'm going to guess it's going to be pretty active. 2. PeeBee: Depends, less than Cora in a serious romance as you will be working on letting her know you truly care about her, but i think after that it will be almost as active as Cora. However I see her as being a potential casual romance/fling depending on choices so active until you call it off or reach that point between continuing and making it a serious relationship or moving to the next npc. 3/4 Jaal and Liam are tied. Don't know much about Jaal and liam hasn't exactly been described in a way where a fair guess can be made. 5. Vetra because Turian/Human relations is...not too great. Expect mostly light kisses from Ryder, maybe some cuddling. Fade to black mostly.

However, I'm getting the vibe that it's more that she's kinky when she has sex, not that she frequently has a ton of sex. I think there's a difference there. I agree on Peebee though, definitely thinking she'll at first be an Isabela-esque fling before it shifts into real feelings.

I don't remember having to reject both of them. Just Liara. Still, I'm hoping things are a little more nuanced in MEA so that we can avoid accidental romances. So, 10 years ago BioWare wasn't prepared to have male/male romances. 10 years ago same sex marriage wasn't legal in all 50 states. Things have changed. They've changed along with society. I'm not concerned that gay dudes will lack romantic partners. I think that's where the glitch part comes in. I avoided the left options, and I still somehow activated Ashley's romance. If it was just Liara, it wouldn't be that bad. But not both. I'm not worried about no gay content. I'm disappointed that it seems that gay ME players are less important once again. (also, I live in a country, where even civil unions have no chance of being passed, so I don't get that "times are changing" feeling that often) Yeah definitely sounds like a glitch, Liara takes a shot because she's interested and handles a let down well (I like that she tried, gives you an idea that she's actually interested, it can feel like your character's harassing them if it's totally one-sided ) but with both human squad-mates if your not short or harsh with them the romance flag seems to get triggered, and to be specific not just that their interested but that they feel your leading them on or actually in a relationship with them depending on if your romancing liara or not. Buggy, lots of bugs... (Edit: Oh also, sorry your stuck banging your head against the wall...it's not right, I hope change finds you soon )

That's not a fair statement, no one likes to be ninjamanced. For Instance my experience the first time I played Mass Effect. "Sure Ash I think you're interesting and it's fun to talk to you. But it seems that I've talked to you too much and was too nice to you. Now I'm in the awkward position of having to kiss you or telling you to go away before we head over to Ilos" At least with Liara I knew when to let her down and that was that You have to choose the "you're out the line" when she gives her opinion about the aliens in the ship to break any chance of romance with her, and you can continue talking with her without fear of being ninjamanced! But she wasn't out of line, it's her personal opinion. I don't have to agree with it but I'm not gonna say stifle it Gunnery Chief when I asked for her thoughts on the matter. This is why I prefer having a very clear "Let's Flirt" Dialog Option.

Most likely, yea... come to think of it, Krogans do have quite some similarities with turtles. ...you know what male turtle genitalia is like, do you? Worst google search ever. Maybe second to ducks. Do I want to know?

The more I read about Jaal the more he seems like an apology letter for Thane/Jacob to FemSheps lol. Spiritual/religious/sensitive and family-oriented (no cheating this time!) but also into sexy time + Twilek/Thane/Garrus design mix. Yeah I'm not gonna be shocked if he's just straight :/

EDIT: I read your post wrong; you think he won't be straight! I guess I disagree; he has straight romance cliche written all over him imo.

I'm pretty sure it is indeed Liara's lack of experience with humans and nothing else. On my most recent playthrough, I picked the option that shoots Kaidan down when he suggests you might be into him, and Liara still thought I was in a relationship with him. I didnt get the 'pick one of us' conversation that playthrough despite keeping Kaidan alive either, so the game clearly didnt have us flagged as in a romance. First time playing FemShep. I haven't spoken to Kaidan at all on the Normandy and have never taken him on a single mission. Liara still thought I was interested in him. It's the same with ash, I always saw it as her attempting to sus out availability. She just picks the squad-mate she thinks is most likely of interest too you ( the implication is that she thinks that humans are statistically more likely to be straight, seems like it would have been a good place to be able to state otherwise if that is so, but sexualities tended to be implied rather than stated in the early games I think ? ). Of course it may have just been that she knew they were interested and wanted to gauge your response.

Erin Kane@aloudernoise @lesbianlovelace @tibermoon As a lesbian and a diehard ME fan I really agree. This is upsetting. Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon @aloudernoise @lesbianlovelace Apologies, but I don't understand why. With a single exception, we haven't confirmed what options are > Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon@aloudernoise @lesbianlovelace available for ANY player, regardless of orientation. We want everyone to discover the romances naturally, > Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon@aloudernoise @lesbianlovelace but we're not trying to keep the LGBT community any more in the dark than anyone else. Apologies if it > Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon @aloudernoise @lesbianlovelace seems that way. Nick KnightⓋnickclark89 @tibermoon @aloudernoise @lesbianlovelace it's given that there will be gay romances ofc, we want to know about gay romances in the squad. Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon nickclark89 @aloudernoise @lesbianlovelace Gotcha, that makes sense. I can't really comment on leaks/rumors, but that does help me > Ian S. Frazier @tibermoonnickclark89 @aloudernoise @lesbianlovelace understand a bit better, so thank you.Are you....... Are you serious? How does he not get it?! Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable. He can't be serious. They know gay players are going to be pissed at what they did. That's why they are pulling this crap right now.

Urhm no, he means that they don't actively follow whatever alleged rumors/leaks people are spreading around in various corners of the internets so he didn't know where the sudden concern was coming from. And if the alleged rumors are completly untrue and say, Liam is actualy super gay while Jaal loves the D as much as the V then he would be even more puzzled whats going on. Ok now im trully gone

We have to remember that even if they completely get what the fans are talking about, they are unable to say or do anything about it. We know several devs who seem to be conflicted about how this is being handled, but they have orders and they have to follow them.
