A gay Drack would be interesting. The more I think about it the more I like this idea. But it won't happen, so I shouldn't think about it for too long..

Dropping this here from the twitter thread: Riggy husky RiguelHusky Are there human romances outside the squadmates or just the aliens? Mac Walters @macwalterslivesYes. Some of the crew of the Tempest, as well as other characters you meet in the wilds of Andromeda, will be looking for love.

Just like the other romances in ME3, there is a few pieces of dialogue that heavily implies you two are sleeping together even if you opt out during the actual scene. Aside from EDI stating that Shepard has sexual experience (during an optional conversation on the Citadel), I can't think of any other situations where it is even implied in conversation - and even then, it could be presumption on the part of the speaker. Can you remember any specific dialogue that made it impossible for you to play it chaste? Well, there is Liara talking with her father. And of course the Citadel DLC.

"How many times have you popped (their) thermal cip?" Yeah, rather implied, but oddly explicitly so.

I will never understand why anyone wants to romance a Krogan.
I'm not judging or anything, if Drack is an option and you want him then jump on it ! I just think they're...well, there's nothing sexy about Krogan. They're badass and my favorite race, tied with Drell. But they're not attractive at all. To me, anyway.

For all we know, Cora isn't even much a romance but more of a hookup. But even if so, I still want her to be bi. I just don't understand why no human female squadmates can be romanced. I don't want the unoriginal Scott = Cora Sara = Liam, and everything seems to be pointing that way. I wish all squad were bi, and the rest was a mix. Oh, come now. Cora isn't a hookup, theirs no way in hell. She's clearly the 'main' option for a straight Scott. She's definitely not a fling. I really hope Liam's bi, so I feel you. I don't think either of us are gonna get what we want though. And yeah, I really wouldn't care if they went back to the DA2 way of doing things. But most people hate it so they aren't going to try it again.

The devs are constantly playing up the Ryders as young adults trying to prove themselves, and constantly playing up Drack as a grizzled old warrior. That's a pretty big age gap, mentally. Well, sure, if they've made the decision to use that (or some other) reason why Ryder & Drack would not be romantically interested in each other. It would be unexpected in a setting where different species from entirely different environments with very different lifespans are crossing that divide and entering romances right and left, however. Also, note that DA's writers made Solas an LI. That's why I said mentally. It's not about Ryder being twenty-two and Drack being a thousand, it's about Ryder having a character arc that's all about being young and getting established, while Drack is the curmudgeonly fossil of the group. If BioWare were going to do a krogan romance, I don't think they'd be playing up the age gap that much. There'd be an age gap, sure, but there's an age gap with Liara and Peebee too, and both of them have been treated like younger characters, at least as far as I can tell.

One of the Devs tweeted a while back that the romances in-game has some pretty good banging. Of course that was exciting news at the time and it ended up getting hash tagged constantly.

I haven't seen any evidence that they're "playing up the age gap". Is there some trailer or something I've missed? Meanwhile, we've seen asari (matrons? matriarchs?) with grown children and salarian (who don't live past 40) spouses. MEU has had plenty of pairings that bridge cultural, age, etc. divides and whatever mental divides the observer might wish to presume. These divides have not been barriers in a lot of the pairings we've seen throughout the series thus far.

Another thing- I heard Drack is supposed to be really old. Another argument to make him not romanceable. Well, yeah, because turning 30 (or the equivalent for your species) automatically means no more sex. I don't know why the hell you're assuming that I wrote he's 30 (Krogan's 30). You're putting irrelevant words into my mouth.

They should though, their hasn't been one f/f human squadmate in and of the games. I wish they would make Cora and Liam bi, and the other characters a mix. Not I bet we won't get our way. And as for Cora being a fling, I doubt it but anything's possible.

Cora is their poster romance. Bioware has never had a fling be their poster romance. The closest they got was perhaps Morrigan and Isabela who can start as a fling-like relationship but even they develop into deep ones and were full romances if continued.

You're putting irrelevant words into my mouth. Yes, I did employ some hyperbole there. Perhaps I've spent too much time in other threads where it's implied that anything past late twenties is too old for an LI. Then again, we've no idea how old Drack would be in human terms, or whether there is such a thing as a typical krogan lifespan.

They live for over 1000 years. So the human equivalent of ploughing Drack is ploughing somebody's granny. If it is a cool granny I am ok with it! I would love an older female love interest. Especially if she's a lesbian. Most of our f/f options in Bioware games are so young. The only exception I can think of is Samara, who is probably my favorite f/f option in the whole trilogy. Honestly, for me, I think Drack is unlikely not just because he's a Krogan but because he's an older Krogan. Having an older love interest is a niche thing in of itself that will only appeal to a limited portion of the players, especially if it's a love interest for men. Having a Krogan love interest is in the same boat, where only a limited amount of players seriously want to romance a Krogan. Those two factors combined make it very, very unlikely for an older Krogan love interest as a full romance. I think they could go for a Krogan romance one day, but I doubt it'll be a very old Krogan like Drack.

Dropping this here from the twitter thread: Riggy husky RiguelHusky Are there human romances outside the squadmates or just the aliens? Mac Walters @macwalterslivesYes. Some of the crew of the Tempest, as well as other characters you meet in the wilds of Andromeda, will be looking for love. I wonder if these characters met in wilds are just flings/one-night stands. I doubt they are full romances, since unless they are with us in the ship, wouldn't romancing them properly require us go to where they are repeatedly. I mean I guess in trilogy LI in Citadel where we visit multiple times anyways would have made sense, but it still sounds bit incovenient. So I'm thinkin that these are just one night stands and not more.

The terms Mac used was 'light' romance, so I guess they'll have less content, but I don't think it'll necessarily be just sex. He also said his favourite one was on a planet, so I think there are good chances some of them go beyond casual sex.
