The creators were just as unsure about making Garrus an LI for similar reasons. He is not very human looking at all and yet I want to say he was one of the most popular LIs? But I would agree that the Krogan probably wouldn't garner as much attention as Garrus or any turian for that matter. I'm the sort of person that if I was in charge, pandering to the majority only goes so far. Sometimes you have to branch out and make people think outside the box, whether they want to or not. Maybe we are too spoiled by our choices? One thing that I will knock Bioware for in the ME series - it is always the human lead and two human companions, male and female, that make up the core group of importance. This is the safe route because there is this notion that as we are humans we will relate best to human characters and the aliens are simply an afterthought. I maintain that if the game is well-made and fun to play, it will not matter if a larger focus is placed on your alien companions and that proper story telling will eliminate any potential for not being able to relate to those characters. It has a very contrived feel to it. I understand wanting to make everyone feel like they get something out of it, but I think there are ways to do that without using the same template over and over again. That is one reason why I like how we have an alien crew this time, like our Salarian pilot and Asari doctor. Unlike alien squadmates, they are like the human squadmates in being part of the core group of importance as you put it. At the very least this applies to Kallo Jath, since our last pilot played just as big if not bigger role than our starter human squadmates. I agree, that is a nice change of pace. I am just biased in that I love turians and wanted another male turian around for me to shamelessly fawn over, which at present there doesn't appear to be one. Ah well, maybe Bioware is keeping mum so that will be more of a surprise.

My issue with a Krogan-mance is that, based on ME's track history, we'll likely only get 3 or 4 fully fleshed out romances with male LIs. And with those limited resources, I'd hate for one of those few precious options to be dedicated to something so niche, which will almost surely be played largely for the 'LOL' factor. I don't really see the comparison to Iron Bull being an apt one - size aside he's essentially still a gray human with horns on his head. Other than having two arms and legs, there is nothing remotely human looking about a Krogan. I just don't see very many players going for it. Not judging people who want it, but if it's there hopefully it's just a fling or something. So the resources toward a fully developed romance can be with a male turian or even a different human option instead. The creators were just as unsure about making Garrus an LI for similar reasons. He is not very human looking at all and yet I want to say he was one of the most popular LIs? But I would agree that the Krogan probably wouldn't garner as much attention as Garrus or any turian for that matter.

Poor Drack, he doesn't get any love. Admittedly I probably won't like any Krogan that comes down the pike as much as I did Wrex, but still, I would do that if it were an option. Not sure why any of it has to be ouch? For an alien to take interest in a human, and vice versa, there kind of has to be a deeper bond there than sexual attraction to get that bit started. If it would be painful to have conventional sex, I'm sure the characters in question can come up with some other "activities" that would be just as gratifying. I definitely don't put near as much thought into how my characters are getting it on as I do the mental connection they have though . By the same token I would think that Jaal is a comfortable lay. He may have been designed that way... . My only complaint with his design is his chin is tiny. I will hit that though as it has become a standard for me to only romance aliens and I dig most of his design. But in all honesty I am just butthurt that I don't have Garrus #2 because nothing beats that male turian design. I can't explain it. I know they're kind of on the skinny side, but damn, I mean my boyfriend is too so maybe I just swing that way.

Must...romance...! Damn it, Bioware has been teasing with Krogan and Asari for years. If that's feasible than I should be able to get some Krogan attention.
Drack will be a permanent memeber of my party regardless because he's, you know, a krogan. I'm terribly biased against human squadmates. I never use them.

Mmmm, well given that Bioware has alluded to Krogan/Asari relationships in past games I feel like I've been cheated thus far by the lack of Krogan in my personal life.
I am ready, bring on the Drack. He looks awesome. With fem Ryder.
Jaal will be my second choice if there are no other male alien romance options. He's no turian, but he'll have to suffice I suppose.

No male turian squadmate...sigh, time to hit up the krogan.
Wrex was amazing, I would've tapped that.

Why on earth should Drack not be an option? I think they've learned from the previous games (GARRUS) that we're okay and even insist on romancing our favorite aliens. I'll be really pissed if we regress back to 'here's your token human male option, and here are a bunch of Asari because gender doesn't mean anything!' Well it does to me and I want male options, preferably male alien options, and maybe even a male turian on the ship or SOMETHING because turians are the shiit-take mushrooms.
I'll take another species of alien, but don't you be giving me a bunch of human male options and that's it.

If he's a little less Grunt and a little more Wrex...romance option. Mmmm yes, yes very good.
But regardless I'm just happy there's a Krogan squadmate again. If I can't have a turian, at least I'll have a krogan.

I spend an inordinate amount of time in the customization screen. It is one of my favorite aspects of Bioware games. I love being able to personalize my character, makes it feel like i'm in the game doing all the things I wish I could in real life, but can't.

Hmmm, I know the right thing is for the turian squadmate to be a female, but I don't swing that way so I am torn by the desire for a male turian to be my main squeeze in lieu of the almighty Garrus. Maybe there'll be a NPC dude turian that I can harass on the ship. He can feed my fish. And other things.
I wonder if we can have fish again? I kind of like my fish take, as long as somebody else can be coerced into feeding them.

I got into Mass Effect because of the SP because I love myself a good RPG, but I got more replay value out of ME3'S MP than the SP by far. It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to get into it again. Hopefully the SP campaign will have more replay value for me with Andromeda, but I still intend to put a lot of time into the MP regardless.
Lots of excitement either way.

Well ordinarily I'd bring the turian everywhere because I've got a thing for turians, but given that it's probably very likely the turian squadmate is female this time around (sigh, it's fair, but I still don't want it out of bias) I'll have to go krogan. Mmm, about time we have a krogan romance option. I would have climbed Wrex's tower.
I'll end up using whoever makes me laugh the most, although I do shy away from the human companions just because I like to have variety in my party. One human is enough.

I'd probably have a fighting chance. I've done a lot of living in the woods throughout my life so I'm proficient enough to stay alive on my own if I have to. Come by a few tools and I'm pretty sure I can fashion myself a cabin. Definitely would want a bow and some arrows. I'd work somebody's field or something to make some money, sleep in their barn, until I had enough to go on my way and do my thing I guess.
Or I could die too. But that's true of life as it is now so...

Leave for two months and everything's gone to...a new forum! See you in another, you know, 3 months. Or probably not until Mass Effect Andromeda comes out, buuut you never know. .
