I do have some concern over romancing, (more questions than concern) But my one main concern is that Bioware is taking too much of a frat boy, dude bro approach to romancing. That one dev saying "the banging is pretty good" making that the main focus of romancing just seems immature. The Salarian pilot also seemed to make a pretty big deal about using the captains quarters for sex. I just hope they understand that their main audience isn't 18 year old jocks. I also wonder just how many romance options their will be, I think I heard one dev say their will be romance options outside of your own crew (not sure about that). I just hope the writing is good and they don't take an immature approach to romancing.

Some characters may just jump on you like say Jack and then there'll be more in depth ones like Liara/Garrus and Tali it just depends on what your Ryders will be looking for in your playthroughs some will be part of your team others will be separate. Kallo's just letting us know that he knows what's going on in there.

Given the past games and (some of) the reactions to how they have been handled, I am very confident that the devs will be approaching these relationships with a lot of care.

I agree. I'm not a fan at all about how they've been talking about it. Makes me worry that I will get the short end of the stick where the Mass Effect team will make the kind of romance I am interested in only be available in the side 'light' romances rather than the 'main' ones again.

one thing is sure about options : a man and an ugly boyish woman for Scott
lots of men and hot women and asari for Sarah
maybe the writings on romances outside the rew are well wdeveloped, i'm not woried at all, besides, romances are not the most relevant nor important element about a game or this game, MEA is abou exploring a new galaxy, finding new home for humanity, etc

Joking aside, I think it is more of a joke than anything else, nobody expects you to take sex seriously with video game characters. On the other hand good romance story lines can make you cry and rage over a week. The best sex scene are actually the ridiculous ones.

I wouldn't care to much about the devs talking about "pretty good banging" in the tweets all the time. Seems to me they just follow the good old motto "sex sells" to advertise the game and have overdone it a bit, but that doesn't necessarily reflect the game content.

Lots of men, you say? Who? What? Where? As far as I know, the only likely male romance for Sara is Liam at the moment. And that hasn't even been confirmed yet.

Romance is just a small part of character development. It has been like that since ME1.

I wouldn't worry about it too much... The Bioware devs get bugged by fans about the romances a lot on Twitter especially, by fans who love to speculate over them, as it's unique to their games. And they know teasing about it with 'banging' jokes gets the fanbase riled up without them having to reveal anything of substance. The 'let's bank ok?' thing has become a meme of sorts among the Bioware devs. It's a joke. For our benefit as well as their own. It's not indicative of how those romances will actually play out in the game. If you read the more serious interviews they talk about how they want players to develop meaningful relationships with these characters, romantic or otherwise, and they want it to feel natural. So even if that kind of humor might appear, with specific characters for which it makes sense (someone like DAI's Sera, for example), there will surely be other relationships that are more serious and mature. And I didn't think that one line from Kallo was 'making a big deal.' It was one line, with a bit of a suggestive tone. More a *wink nudge* kind of moment, again, for the benefit of the romance fans, in a video otherwise about everything else. Personally I like those casual touches in these otherwise professional-sounding videos - Cora's tone when she talks about Liam being an idealist was another. Also, I hate to be that person, but, this should probably be in the characters and romance forum.

Yeah, she's fine. Try telling that to people over at YT comments section though. It's the end of the world over there, the last nail in the coffin. All because Cora is "ugly", "unbangable" and has bad hair. Sigh.

Talking about banging and romances is just a clever way to create hype and deter fans from the stuff they are waiting to surprise us with. If some fans had it their way, they'd have the entire plot, all the romances and the ending revealed before they even play.

Personally, I just want a lot of variety with meaningful romances for replay purposes. Light romances are fun and all, but, they aren't something I'd replay for. I'd rather play a 'meaningful romance' route, again. I have faith in bioware for good romances though, although DA:I was lacking in some areas, I have to say the romances were great.

The best approach to all crew members on the ship. Though really, I haven't seen a character yet that's gotten the response of "That's the one I'm gonna romance" out of me but in Inquisition the romances were pretty well varied from what I saw.
