Why did you romance your LI?

My Scott romanced both Gil and Reyes. Why? Because he could, and because those two are the only choices for a gay male character. Also, I happen to actually like both characters, to my surprise.

Scott romanced Reyes and Gil, because I had no other choice. Though I did end up liking Gil a lot.

My Sara will romance Vetra (and perhaps mess around with Peebee), because she's badass and a sweetheart at the same time.

My Sara romanced Vetra and then I couldn't seem to bring myself to romance anyone else on the second time playing. She is pretty wonderful.

I am interested in a Scott/Cora game and possibly a emotional/sarcastic FemRyder/Peebee or Jaal game.

Honestly no one but Vetra appealed to me this time around. Usually there are at least one or two others I am interested in. I like Cora but don't enjoy playing male characters as much. I liked Jaal at first but I didn't really like his bony body or his mission choices. We always seemed to be at odds my first time playing. (I do like his character overall just not as a romance...)

When I first heard of the Angara in a gameplay trailer, I said I wanted to romance one. When I first saw Jaal, I knew he'd be the one for my Sara. Turns out he was the best LI ever! He's sweet, caring, kind, loyal and writes the most precious love letters! A bonus for me is, his romance connects with the main plot too, and for once the romance doesn't end in sadness like other plot involved romances in BW games.

This isn't about their appearance though, this is more about the fact the only two characters for gay and queer men got two barely fleshed out romances last minute. Reyes was a last minute code-in while Gil was given to us as "the last minute gay character with another goddamn heteronormative storyline about being gay". Cassandra and Josephine are with you throughout the whole game, hell Josephine has more content than Gil and Suvi could ever wish for and Cassandra is a full-time squadie. Cassandra and Josephine were thought out for their peeps and you guys can't even say thank you. We got garbage and you whine about "This girl ain't pretty" while we whine about "why did you put less thought and heart behind the only two queer male characters in this game and why did you tease about the obviously straight male alien."
Fuck your feelings.

OK that was not what I meant by "appealing", for god sake I'am the one who romanced the Turian Vetra without a second thought I could care less for appearances. What I meant was that their personalities might not appeal to very many people. Since Josephine is a politician and wasn't very interesting and was just kind of there half the time.

Cassandra just didn't come off as very interesting either at first but did become better much later on in the game.

Reyes feels like he was always meant to be the manipulator character that most players will fall for and then regret it. Don't believe me? Lots of people want him to come back......only those who actually fell for it. (this is just my head canon until proven otherwise if you like him thats you thing just don't try to change my mind).

Gil? Yeah kinda right about him while I liked him he did need a few more moments to establish himself a bit better. 

Because I find Jaal adorable as F

I totally disagree. I romanced Reyes as Scott and now I'm doing it as Sara, and with Sara it doesn't feel as natural as it did with Scott. 

And if you want to talk about afterthoughts: It was more than possible for ME3 to corner FemShep into either being single or a lesbian, hence the pathetic excuse of a one night stand with James in the Citadel DLC.

All romance thread lead to LGBT:P ... again?

But I romanced Vetra with my Scott. It was really sweet, and I loved the dinner scene, but it wasn't really for me. Peebee is more of my taste. Love her upbeat personality with my upbeat Ryder. It seems like I am actually getting to know Peebee.

But Cassandra > everybody else.

My canon Sara is going for Liam, because she loves how he manages to stay optimistic, even if he's afraid. He always keep that brave face for the team. Sara accepts him even with his flaws, because no one is flawless.

Honestly any of the LIs in Andromeda would've been a good palette cleanser after​ Solas, and that was what I needed. But Jaal was an easy pick. I can romance humans in other games. I can't romance pink squid bunny man other games!

I am very fond of Jaal in his own right, though. My only serious criticism is that he seems like he was written as a love interest first, and a character second.

I was pretty slow to warm up to Liam. Vetra and Jaal had bigger first impressions, plus their alien star power. Liam had been flying under the radar until I got his email after the salarian ark mission. Ryder had endured major physical trauma and he followed up with his usual concern for Ryder's well being. It hit me how he had been like that all along, constantly asking if Ryder was OK. (If you recall, he also waited in SAM node for Ryder to wake up in the prologue.) It felt like a two-way relationship instead of me doing all the heavy lifting. His friendship was genuine. There was absolutely nothing wrong with Vetra or Jaal. I just now knew exactly what I had to lose by if I passed up a guy like Liam and he went on to become one of the most rewarding relationships I've experienced in a Bioware game.
