Tali or Miranda. Played through about six times now and choosen each a few times. Honestly can't pick between them. I'll have to figure it out before ME3 though...

 

[Zannah]

Garrus of course (though it saddens me there's no proper romance option for morinth )

First playthrough (With my FemShep) I realised that I had romanced Liara in the first game and wasn't happy that she had changed into such a ***** and that she really didn't seem that interested in me any more

Then I replayed all of Mass Effect 1 AGAIN just so I didn't have a romance option and in Mass Effect 2 I picked Garus, mostly because there's something kinda alluring about him, in an odd alien way.

I'm hoping to get round to a third playthrough as Male Shep so I can choose Tali because she's awesome!

 

[hecticpicnic]

wow tali is popular ,i did garrus and tali but i didn't think see would get so many votes
so i choose her(i all ways go for the underdog i hate a one-sided poll)

Tali has always been a popular character in Mass Effect. Not shocking that people are jumping at the opertunity to have a romance with her.

Garrus, because he's badass and we're BFFs.

I never really liked Tali, to be honest.. she was a walking history book in the first one. And she always seems to die when in my squad.

I did all the male romances, Miranda, Tali and Jack, in my 3 playthroughs. I think Miranda was the first.

I wonder how keeping/breaking your ME1 relationship will affect ME3. I mean, no one has to tell Ashley right? Right?

 

[Reveras]

Yeah well I'm pretty sure all the men playing ME3 will orgasm if they see Tali's face, myself included.

 

[Meggiepants]

Thane first. Because he was the most interesting. And I didn't pick anyone the second time through.

I wasn't interested in any of the options for male Shep. Miranda is a *****. Jack... it would be wrong to romance Jack. She's messed up and needs therapy. It seems kind of sick to me to take advantage of her. And Tali, she's my bud. I just don't see her that way.

I feel the same way about Garrus, he's also my bud, so that was a no go. And Jacob can suck Normandy exhaust for all I care. Dude is the worst.

Liara in game 1, Tali in game 2. As the captain of a starship in a universe full of aliens it's IMPERATIVE that you make out with the hot alien chick whenever the chance arises. Honestly!

Jack.

I like my characters' with more than 1 dimension.

I can understand that, but unfortunately I didn't like most of Jack's dimensions.

 

[romxxii]

Wow, very low votes for Jack. I guess there aren't many fans of suicide girls in this forum.

As for myself, I went Miranda, then Kelly Chambers, then Tali.

I just couldn't bring myself to get past Jack's bullshit, especially since her loyalty mission proves she's full of it.

None of them. I think that romances in video games are never handled well. I tried a romance in Mass Effect, and it didn't work out. The dialogue felt forced and awkward and the whole thing was to artificial. The inherent problem with a video game relationship is that they never feel real to me. I just can't accept that these two people are so deeply in love when they have only been around each other for a few hours and held about four conversations. Now in the game they may have been with each other for days/months/years, but I as the player have only seen them together for a few hours. For me the whole thing feels fake because of that.

Romances are something I wish BioWare would just drop because they actually have a negative impact on the game. There is a severe lack of dialogue for any character you don't romance. In Mass Effect 2, you could have only about 2 conversations with each romance option if you don't choose to fuck them. Garrus will always be calibrating the damn engines and Jack will just tell you to piss off. Both of these character have almost no dialogue when you don't romance them, and to me that is a big problem. Each character should have a large pool of dialogue. I wouldn't be opposed to romances if they clearly weren't robbing players like me of a good chunk of the game's dialogue.

I'm not surprised to see that most people romanced Tali either.

Agreed on all counts. Why can't I just be friends with my crew? Why do I have to make love to them to learn about them? Why can't we just talk and be friends like normal people(or, aliens)?

Tali I just wanted to see her without her suit but still didn't see

Kaidan in Mass Effect 1, nobody in Mass Effect 2. My Shepard is faithful to the end.
