The Character Romance thread (Official)

I want my Scott to be dorky too. Maybe not quite as embarrassing (my secondhand embarrassment receptors are too sensitive for a whole game of that...) but I definitely want him to be adorkable.

I mean, when it comes to real-life relationships, I'd also want to date someone who's somewhat close to my own age but in a game where you're willing make your character date an actual fucking alien, I'm sure it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to let him date someone a bit older than you'd be willing to in real life. (I mean, it's perfectly fine if you just don't find them attractive, of course - I don't find Gil attractive, either - I just find it a bit ironic . Then again, it's probably the uncanny valley principle. The closer shit in a video game gets to what we're familiar with, the more discerning we get.)

Sara is super cute awkward when she tries to flirt. 

At least with Suvi.

Ohhh. Thanks for that clarification. That probably does make a big difference.

You don't know that...

Gil Brodie is a beautiful, ethnically ambiguous lates 20s-30+ bottom. He's what we deserve! 

Can't have too much gay in a Mass Effect game now can we? *coughs up salt*  

Well, there's Reyes... and possibly, maybe, hopefully nex_doc? But both of those are probably not "full" romances from what I've been reading on here.

Oh yes! 

Reyes is beginning to remind me of that Smuggler guy that acted like a Han Solo in the Trooper story line. Jonas Balker.

But Gil is absolutely nothing compared to Jaal. Put their pictures side by side and it's "you verses the guy he told you not to worry about"
