[Mass Effect]

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

That's how I felt when I played Dragon Age Origins for the first time, and was unable to be anything more than a friend to Alistair. I, too, would have been fine with him turning my Warden down -- hell, that would've been pretty interesting (and different/fresh).

[fingalsanteater]

OMG, Alistair. Alistair just broke up with my SO's character and he's been moaning about it for days. "I can't believe he broke up with ME! After all I put up with!" Video games are serious business in our house.

[fingalsanteater]

Even though you can't "romance" him, I played a guy in Fallout: New Vegas so that I could flirt with Arcade. Because I love him so. My character still feels like "me" even though he's a guy, so maybe try playing as a M!Shepard and see if it works for you? I do understand that it sucks not to just be able to romance whoever you want regardless of gender, though, but that's just the way the game was made. :(

As an aside: Some anon (I think) posted something like 'Tali :'( ' here one time and so everytime my SO talks about her, we say "Tali. Tear." He cried, literally, during that one part in 3 so this amuses us greatly.

[(Anonymous)]

hahahahahaha i think i was that anon. that's amazing.

[fingalsanteater]

Lol. Your comment made Masterchef US more bearable this year too. There was this douche named Tali, so, every time he did something douchey, we'd say "Oh, Tali. Tear." So, uh, thanks.

[(Anonymous)]

One of my favourite relationships in ME3 is the one between Male!Shepard and Traynor. I love the fact you can hit on her and get rejected. Same in Dragon Age 2 where you can flirt with Aveline but nothing comes of it. Could have done with a conversation like that with Vega. I mean god, "the bed's harder than it looks"? And NOTHING came from that? Wth.

[elaminator]

Yea, wtf was that? If I couldn't romance Vega I should've at least had the chance to be turned down properly!

I agree about Tali too. I thought it seemed kinda obvious she had a bit of a crush on f!Shep, but then it never went anywhere. I was disappointed at not being able to mention having feelings for her too. (Even if like you, I would've accepted being awkwardly turned down.)

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. fShep can hit on Joker and get rejected too. I knew I'd be turned down, but I couldn't resist, haha.

[kallanda_lee]

I feel the same. Tali is my favourite team member (followed closely by Wrex), and it sort of seemed I could either play an awkward romance with someone I didn't even put on my team that often, or not romance at all - and then couldn't bond with the people (aliens?) I found really nice to be around (even if platonically).

[gobbledigook]

I've been meaning to give those games a try because gay content is not something I usually see in the games I play... but those Mass Effect games kinda look like they added gay options in the last game out of pressure, then kept some characters un-dateable just because they didn't want them to be gay. Sort of dampens my interest in the series tbh. :\

[(Anonymous)]

>those Mass Effect games kinda look like they added gay options in the last game out of pressure.
Actually, is the opposite: the first two games were supposed to have gay options (they even recorded the same sex dialogues!) but at the last moment they chickened out. In this game they finally said fuck you to the haters and included the homosexual options.

[(Anonymous)]

Man, that's a bummer because I feel like romancing Kaidan as a maleShep in the 1st one would have been really sweet.

[gobbledigook]

That's good to know. I feel it's a little weird that they would say fuck you to the haters but still limit the options for gay relationships, but I can appreciate that they at least took a step forward.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if you know this already or not, but you can sooooooooort of flirt with her in the second game? At the very least the "I would so link suits with you" conversation is the same and it's obvious that she has a crush on both Shepards. Shame you couldn't really romance her as femshep, but I always liked her and brought her on missions all the time, so she was my alien bff.

Personally, I just wish I could be in a polyamorous relationship with her and Garrus. TEAM DEXTRO 4 LYFE

[streetcake]

I played as male Shepard just to hook up with her. It would have been interesting if they did let you confess, even if she didn't accept.

[(Anonymous)]

I have a similar complaint, actually. I wish they'd let guy!Shep put the moves on Garrus.

Because come on. They were meant to be. We all know this.

[(Anonymous)]

ikr? totally agreed

[(Anonymous)]

I heard (though I have no evidence) that a Tali/FemShep romance was cut from the second game.

I mean, the shadow broker's logs show her being indecisive about nervstim packs no mater the Shepard...

[(Anonymous)]

ARE YOU ME!!
I am just going through these games for the first time and I absolutely adore her, what a coincidence that there was a secret. yes to everything here, basically. she is the best.

[writerserenyty]

I know how you feel, OP. I romance Kaidan and I like Kaidan a lot but MAN I wish I could romance Tali. She's just so sweet.

[goodbyebird]

Awww Tali love <3

btw, femshep isn't canoically straight, at least not in the third one, but Tali is off limits tho.
