Just curious, which is the best romance for you guys and why? I tried posting this in the spoiler section but it wouldn't let me create a poll. Feel free to move it if you think it's best!

I flirted with Peebee, Cora and Gil, but Reyes felt right to me from the start. His romance is awesome and I regret nothing As to why... it just felt the most natural to me. They meet and it could be an "intrigued at first sight" thing. I also thought the flirt options with him were so much better than using full force with the crew. It was much more subtle and had an interesting ring to it. Plus Reyes is such a smooth talker and easily charmed me my Ryder.

I don't know yet, but keep this thread alive.
So far I flirted with Vetra, Liam and Jaal on my female Ryder, and inclined to stick to Jaal. i don't like Liam, and I want something more exciting than very mature, serious and responsible Vetra.
Akksun (whom I have not met yet) Seems to be what I have imagined Jaal would be as I was waiting on the game.
If Liam mumbles and makes no sense at all to me, Jaal speaks too slowly and is quite a change of pace from the latest charged romances I have pursued in Bio games in a quick succession. I just went through Thane, Anders and Dorian, so Jaal is very emotionally quiet by comparison. I like him a lot, but just not falling head over heals.
I think I will romance PeeBee later with my male PC.
But, overall, it is very much like ME1 for me - nice chars, but i don't have my heart set the moment I see the character, let alone the DA2 impossible dilemma between Anders and Fenris.

Reyes all the way. Not that I've checked every option but it really seemed like most natural romance option my fem Ryder could have. And she didn't looked so creepy because it's Reyes who, let's say, provoke the whole romance thing, it doesn't feel like Ryder is the only side who initiates the whole relationship. Comparing to the other options I was quite impressed how nice it went through. Ofc it's only my opinion.

I voted for Jaal. I like Vetra best but in the romance department it was a little weak. Still has the whole Turian love scene in full armor like the trilogy. I will say its pretty damn cute tho. For me personally Vetra wins but Jaal, Cora, Peebee, and even Liam to a lesser extent have much steamier scenes.

I chose Liam after getting his email after the salarian ark mission. I had noticed that he was one of the few squadmates that kept checking up on Ryder and asking how Ryder was doing. It felt like a two-way relationship. While his romance does lacks the smut a few of the other romances have, the emotional connection was pretty gratifying all the way up to the end. The romance content was incredibly well thought out on the writing side of things. I was impressed. I really hope there is a Citadel DLC equivalent somewhere down the road. =p

I voted for Suvi. I love pretty much everything about her character and her romance with Sarah is absolutely adorable. It is also exactly the kind of romance I was hoping for in this game.

Vetra's romance is just damn good, but that armor on her during the final scene just grinds my gears...

I thought I was going to decide between Liam and Vetra in my first run, but nope. Jaal was too adorable and I was hooked. (And Jaal's huge family/mom is what my Ryder needs, too.)

Reyes. I'm probably a minority in that I'm a huge fan of romances that aren't with squadmates (what can I say, work/private life separation = sexy). Reyes is fun (albeit a bit funny looking as well), but I really love that his development as a character is not dependent upon my Ryder chauffeuring him around the galaxy to do XYZ for ABC because 123. Reyes has his own hobbies. Ryder likes exploring the new galaxy; Reyes likes whiskey and murder. They just work together.

Reyes was my favorite, but only because I could play my Ryder as a contrary/tsundere type character. Compared to Zevran and Dorian, who had the same beats as Reyes, you didn't have to constantly stroke his ego (or lose approval) to keep the romance going. Once you got his flags checked, you could basically be a dick to him and still romance him, which I often did to keep him from feeling full of himself.

I usually like taking LIs with me on missions because of extra dialogue, but it just works so well with Reyes. I'm surprised myself this turned out to be my favourite romance, but it really is great and the emails after locking in are such a nice touch.

The asari journalists romance is heavily underrated.

Jaal. The romance is completely covered in cheese and fanservice. And I'm gobbling it up.

I don't know since I haven't romanced everyone. I romanced Suvi in my first playthrough, and in my second playthrough, which I'm about halfway through, I'm romancing Liam. My third playthrough will be Cora. I'm only romancing those three to get the trophy. If I was to choose one, it would be Suvi.

I'm going to romance Vetra in my first and current playthrough, but damn, Jaal is surprisingly hard to resist to. It just goes so well with the story. If i didn't find Angara's male design so revolting, I would have romanced him instead.
But Vetra is sweet too 😍

Jaal. His romance fits the main plot, he and Sara have similar personalities, likes, hobbies and it's a slow burn relationship that grows from strangers, to friends, to more than friends and finally true love.

I chose Reyes. I wish he'd been a squadmate, but he's still one of my favorite Bioware romances. Hopefully he'll get expanded content later. I'll keep hoping he gets a squadmate promotion next game.

She's not included in the poll, but I thought Keri's was the best paced and had the most natural dialogue.
It also depends what you mean by "best" Cora and PeeBee get the most content (at least for the available-for-Scott ones), so on paper there's an argument for one of them, but I just didn't think they were as natural as the tiny amount of content that Keri had. If I had to pick from the ones listed on this poll though I'd say it's a toss up between Reyes and Vetra, for their dialogue.

Jaal because he's most likely to Solas. IMO. Cora in a way too, maybe. Kinda. Depends if Bioware is actually setting up something to Cerberus it up. But even if so, it isn't necessarily bad for her, and she could be the red herring for the real bad of Jaal. Theoretically. I don't adore Cora as a romance but I took a glance at its non-sexual romance scene and it looked really pretty so maybe that's really good. I chose Reyes as it is closest m/m to what I can stand. Would have picked Jaal. Will still pick Jaal. #makejaalbi(if part of earlier design)

I'm torn about doing Jaal or Reyes, especially because I'm not sure I'm going to replay. I feel like Reyes is kind of the romance I've been waiting for in a ME game, in that your character can be with a Bad Boy who doesn't also have a ton of issues (like Fenris, Thane, and Solas), but it feels like they should have written it as a fling and not a (definite) lock. Because it's clearly a sexual attraction b/t two really different characters that aren't going to be a Forever Thing (or so it seems at this point in the flirting). And with Jaal it seems like one of the deeper romances we've seen in terms of emotional content -- why can't she just sleep with Reyes and then move on? Guh stupid. I was always annoyed you couldn't romance Zaeed or Kasumi.

Jaal, all day every day. :-)
I chose Reyes as second mainly because of the surprise at the end and the fallout, not necessarily the romance itself. I like how it all came to a head and how pissed off my Sara was. Made for some great headcannon stuff afterward over how things progressed (rather awkwardly) with the whole Kadara situation. Then dichotomy of the Jaal romance thereafter, icing on the cake.
