If Sara can do it and it's an asexual romance there shouldn't be any reason Scott can't do it either.
This is my only concern of Andromeda.
Multiplayer has the characters/guns I used in 3, Combat is good, Scott sounds Nathan Drake-y but I dig it, The Worlds look pretty, The Facial Animations don't bother me as much as everybody else (they might as well be like Mass Effect or even Deadly Premonition silliness) and Cora/PB were never going to be my thing no matter what they looked like.
So that just leaves Romance and the potential lack of m/m options.

Just because someone is asexual doesn't mean they are attracted to both genders romantically. He could be asexual but only romantically attracted to women. It would be disappointing for those who want to romance him... but I wouldn't put it past Bioware to write him that way, if he is a romance option.
English is my third language, sorry if something sounds weird.

That would be such a lame copout reason but I wouldn't be surprised by it. Bioware seems really unwilling to write m/m human-alien relationships.
The closest thing we had was Preitor Gavorn and that Human Guy and then he never appeared again for Omega.
With Garrus, Thane, Javik's little scene only being for Femshep, I think only Femshep can humor Mordin's claim you're interested in him, Jaal allegedly being only for FemRyder and then you add Kallo to only being for FemRyder as well?
I wish Kallo was homoromantic. Women don't need all the aliens, sorry girls, but you are getting like, all the damn aliens.
Now that I think about it, if Vetra and Peebee are both bi aliens, I wouldn't be surprised if Jaal was straight. Three bi aliens in the squad? Not sure if BW is up for that. I heard someone speak of '' Vetra's writer pushing her for bi causing Jaal to become straight '' (or maybe I'm thinking of something else?) rumors/leaks and you know, doesn't sound too hard to believe at this point.

If we look back, ME is still the same and has never changed:
Kaidan - straight Ash - straight Liara - bi
Jacob - straight Miranda - straight Garrus - straight (made a romance by fans) Tali - straight (made a romance by fans) Jack - straight Thane - straight (bi was cut) Liara - bi
Kaidan (straight and made bi due to fans) Ash - straight Liara - bi Garrus - straight Tali - straight
Liam - straight Cora - straight PeeBee (bi) Vetra (bi only because she was fought to be made bi because of her writer) Jaal - straight
So they'll confirm romances outside the squad, but not m/m romances in the squad?
And... if straight men can romance female angara but gay and bi men can't romance Jaal... I just don't think I would be able to handle that whole other level of inequality.
I was called Ryder before it was cool... ...I'd love to, you know, be social and things.

Haven't quite caught up yet, but right now I'm laughing at the comments about "realism" and numbers of LGBT people in groups
I mean, there are people in this very thread saying you'd never have a group like that... I mean, have you been paying any attention to where you're replying?
THIS THREAD IS LIKE:
And it's great. And it happened in real life, and it's not a thread strictly about LGBT people or characters. Just as one example.
And then you get into the fact that fiction is practically a synonym for "implausibility". It could happen, even if it's not likely. So even if a group with many LGBT people was unlikely, the argument still doesn't have any weight. Why single out this one "unrealistic" element? I think I already know the answer. And if you really want to get into it, there's also the fact that in a much more inclusive society like ME's, people are going to be okay with themselves and others and it will appear as if there are more LGBT people than today.
And Suvi, the threads you followed led you here to me. How could that have been a mistake? Of everything I've encountered in Heleus, you, are by far, my favourite.

This is really sad but also really true
Definitely makes it more real when you look at it that way.
God damn we have still got such a long way to go it hurts.

Now hold on, don't get me wrong.
I want Kallo Jath for both Ryders, his small growing fanbase is just as much women as it is men.

Now that's the politically correct way to think of things but I'm sorry, I want one alien all to myself. If women can have Garrus and Jaal, we deserve a little exclusive alien action ourselves. *shrug*

Knowing firsthand how horrible it is to be gated by a character cause of your gender, I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

I've seen the leak that says Sheryl pushed for Vetra, but there's absolutely no evidence that that somehow caused Jaal not to be bi.
I still think he's going to swing both ways.
If that bint ruins our honeymoon, I will wear her Qun for a boot! Let's wrap it up, love.

It's only horrible if there's no equal treatment, though.

That was a theory, but it turns out there was no bi Jaal and the guy made a mistake when he leaked it.

Well the ending result is the same, two bi female aliens and no bi male alien. Woopdie-fucking-doo I'm going to bed.
