Single.
Because apparently male homosexuality doesn't exist in the Mass Effect universe.
Fuck you, Bioware.

Ash and Kaidan were originally supposed to be bisexual love interests, but BioWare pulled the plug on that at the last minute (look it up on YouTube some time). Since I'm one of those players who creates a character then goes through the story through their eyes, Ashley was the best fit for my FemShep. Kaidan was... Kaidan, and Liara, while a sweet girl, was a bit too mousy for my character.Redem said:
But alas, it wasn't meant to be. Not in the core game at least, and I vowed never to try fan-fiction again (don't ask...).
Well, to be fair, Tali is apparently bisexual in ME2, but FemShep refuses to make the move.Redem said:
Why do I say that? Well, she says the same line to initiate romance to both MaleShep and FemShep. MaleShep can make a flirty reply, but FemShep can't.
Actually so does Garrus.
So yeah - Tali and Garrus are both bi for Shepard. Same-sex-Shepard is just too dumb to notice, apparently. **sigh**
Garrus for my main Fem shep, Miranda for my Male and Thane for my Fem V2. That last one probably ain't gonna end to well 0_0.
Ashley all the way. James Shepard fell in love that day when he met the sassy soldier on Eden Prime and he waited through all the events of Mass Effect 2 for the hole in his heart to be filled once more. And the only person in the galaxy who can do that for him is Ashley Williams.
So yeah after seeing her confirmed to return, I'm kind of looking forward to Mass Effect 3 like crazy. It'll be nice to finally be able to have a happy ending to this strange video game relationship of mine.
As a side note, one other of my Shepard's did romance Jack. So I'll give her a mention as well.
I'd support an Ash/FemShep romance. Same as how I'd support a Kaidan/ManShep romance. See no reason why we can't cater to all demographics.
I mean how come the developers have no problem letting guys nail blue chicks with tentacle hair and girls nailing reptilian/bird like creatures with exoskeletons but they are so afraid of a little homosexuality?

How about this?SageRuffin said:

Liara, she was the only romance option in the first game who didn't piss me off and I stayed true to her in the second one.
In ME1, I romanced Ashley, and I really liked her. I was sad that she wasn't part of my crew in the second one, and ended up hooking up with Miranda. I suppose you could call it a moment of weakness, and because it seemed like Ash wanted nothing to do with me anymore, or the fact that Miranda is pretty smokin' (dat ass...) and we were flying off on what was thought to be a suicide mission. But I've actually come to regret it, especially now that I know that Ashley will be in ME3. It kind of makes me want to replay through 2 and not hook up with anyone, just so I can hold out for Ms. Williams.
As to why I like Ashley better... I suppose she just seemed more believable and I could relate with her more as a character. Sure, she doesn't really trust other species at first, but they didn't really trust us either, and it's hard not to look out for your own if you think you're being attacked, and she came around by the end, through intelligent conversation with Shepard. She wasn't genetically engineered to be perfect, but I knew no matter what she always had my back. For awhile I kind of thought of Miranda as "big sister" watching over me and reporting in on what I was doing.
Yeah... definitely going to have to replay ME2 now so I can hold out for my special lady friend.

Liara for my official Sheperd, which is female. The male voice actor makes my skin crawl. At parts he sounds like he is literally reading words off of a page with no emotion.
However, when I found out Tali was an option in Mass Effect 2, I replayed Mass Effect as a male just to get Tali in Mass Effect 2. I think it was worth it.

Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley... *deep breath* ... Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley!
And if there's time Tali or Liara.
Of course there might be some new character that tickles my fancy, but I don't feel the need to repeat my first choice.

How do you get from there being no available gay men who are interested in you aboard the Normandy to there being no gay males in the universe?latenightapplepie said:
