As a hetero female I'd have liked more than just one human male relationship option vs one alien male relationship option. Maybe because I really disliked Liam as a character and Jaal is just gross (sorry dude it had to be said!) but I found it very lacklustre!

Actually be able to take them out on a date. Could be humorous. Could be romantic. That type of thing could be interesting. Exactly. Then at the end, "We'll bang, okay?"

Yep, Reyes of all people is actually the best option for a Straight Sara. I'll need to flip a coin to decide between Suvi and PeeBee though.

Something post-love scene. At the very least, a cabin invite. There could be options on a dialogue wheel when calling them. Call for sex. Call for talk. Call to chill. Call to eat. Then a mini-cutscene could play out. Even if it's the same scene everytime, it's something.

If I ever get to the final mission I'll let you know.

I know it could be done in ME3 with a shepard being romanced or not but that garrus thing where you shot bottles with a sniper rifle at the citadel was awesome and things like that are great for romance. Also for people to notice it and comment on it. Like in DA2 to some level

Every squadmate in this game have a scene similar to that already. Cora: She plants seeds or something on Eso. Liam: Play Soccer on Eso Drack: Bar Fight Vetra: Mountain climbing PeeBee: Gets the crew together and say she see them as family Jaal: Meeting his family

It was only once and she never mentioned it again. I don't believe anybody else ever said anything either, unless I just missed dialogue somewhere.

It's the same with Peebee only Lexi mentioned our relationship. Peebee called me "darling" or something in a cutscene during the movie night quest but that really it along with getting a kiss at the end of the game.

Acknowledgment is a step in the right direction, but there needs to be more. Perhaps the rest of the crew is gossiping and keeping it on the QT behind our backs....!

You see how you get to the "sex scene" with Jaal or Cora and you can be like "woohoo sex" or "woohoo hugs", it'd be cool if that was an option for all romances, like, player choice how far and fast the romance goes.
Also, more than one "sex scene", because the romances are still like flirt, flirt, flirt, sex scene, then kinda not a lot going for the rest of the game. Like, I'm on a massive mission across a sector of a new galaxy, I'd like my relationships to feel like they are a continuous thing, not a here and there thing.
IDK, maybe your SO can sleep in your quarters, some kind of tangible change. Not just the occasional comment or whatever.
I'm very tired, hope this makes sense.
Oh, also, I would love a strong human female as a lesbian love interest? Morrigan/Ashley/Aveline/Cassandra/Jack...all gave off lady-loving vibes, not one was interested.

When I heard that banter I could not unhear it and if I ever would have romanced him, that is now OFF the table. I don't do flaps.

Implementing "romances" one needs inspiring squadmates. All absent in this game. The quality writing in this game compared to MET of squadmates is so poor one wonders if it's written by Bioware. For me, this aspect is so broken it takes away the immersion MET gave in spades.

More time with your LI, like sneaking kisses in DAI would be nice. Jaal is so damn romantic, it's worth it! The kissing thing was cool but honestly, they should add more then just that. Like someone said going on dates would be nice. Having dinner or have romance scens outside of just banging them that one time. Like Cora has a thing for flowers so maybe you can spend time in one on Aya or do something involving the remnant with Peebee.

Add an actual love scene for all the options. As someone who romances Vetra I felt cheated with the lame "fade to black" scene. Not saying the love scene needs to be graphic, but damn a bit more caressing and even exploring each other's bodies would have been nice.3 games in a row with a turian romance option, and zero actual love scenes. If Bioware thinks it's icky, then why in God's name are you allowing people to romance them at all?

Alien Options for Gay Scott. Doesn't have to be Jaal. Even as a straight guy myself, I'm shocked Bioware still hasn't had a single gay alien romances for guys. I honestly thought Jaal would be gay or bi, to fix this. Was legit shocked he was straight female option only. On a side note, more straight options for guys would be nice. Cora is pretty much the only straight option for guys, since Peebee and Vetra go both ways.

One of my biggest gripes with romance arcs in BioWare games is that the games are getting bigger, but the romances are not. This is especially true for Mass Effect Andromeda. After 111 hours of playing the game on Insanity and finishing it, I was lucky if the romance arc with Cora was more than 20 minutes. Between all of the flirt options, the random sex scene, and the occasional emails, it felt less like a romance and more like an occasional tease. So, how would you improve romances in BioWare games going forward? Personally, I'd just like to see a lot more dialogue with substance that goes beyond simple flirts. I'd like to see more than one sex scene and the sex scenes shouldn't have to initiate right before the final mission. It would also be nice if we could show affection towards our love interest, such as kissing him/her whenever, similar to DAO. ME2 even had the ability to cuddle with your love interest in the captain's quarters if you chose. Little details like that go a long way towards making these romance arcs more believable and more interesting to pursue. Or maybe cut down on the number. 3-6 is enough when you get beyond that it becomes hard to keep up. Also I would like to have the option to say if my character is straight, bisexual, or gay right at the start of the game so that way if I'm playing as a female Ryder who is a lesbian I don't get flirt dialogue options for Liam, Jaal, Reyes, and male LIs that she wouldn't be interested in and a straight male Ryder wouldn't get any flirt dialogue options for Gil and Reyes either.

Fire Mac Walters and they will improve We wouldn't have Garrus without Mac though... He also created Aria. It's a mixed bag! Implementing "romances" one needs inspiring squadmates. All absent in this game. The quality writing in this game compared to MET of squadmates is so poor one wonders if it's written by Bioware. For me, this aspect is so broken it takes away the immersion MET gave in spades. Did you play ME1? I wouldn't exactly call any of the squadmates in that game "inspiring." It wasn't until ME2 that I began to like any of them. I don't believe BioWare has done any worse creating new companions than they did in ME1. Or maybe cut down on the number. 3-6 is enough when you get beyond that it becomes hard to keep up. Also I would like to have the option to say if my character is straight, bisexual, or gay right at the start of the game so that way if I'm playing as a female Ryder who is a lesbian I don't get flirt dialogue options for Liam, Jaal, Reyes, and male LIs that she wouldn't be interested in and a straight male Ryder wouldn't get any flirt dialogue options for Gil and Reyes either. I think less options would certainly increase overall quality and content, hopefully. The sexual orientation toggle is an interesting idea. I will say it's rather frustrating to flirt with someone, like Suvi, and she rejects you immediately. Why even have flirt options for characters who have zero interest in you? A similar thing was the case with Sera in DAI, where there were actually a lot of flirt options for the male Inquisitor. It's not until the end of her arc where she flat out rejects your advances.
