then I found out that you can't romance Miranda if you play as FemShep. WTF? That's what I was planning to do! What happened to Bioware games being all about choice?? anyone else find this disappointing? any reason bioware wouldn't make this option? I wanna play as FemShep, but not if it means giving up the sexiest romance option. what a rip.

Shepherd gets to be gay depending on your choices, so why can't Miranda? seems like some kind of lesbiphobia to me. I mean, it looks like the only lesbian option for FemShep is some nasty alien thing. what's up with that?

I think it's unrealistic that most characters in the game are bi. I'm not saying they shouldn't be. There also could've been at least one lesbian, since Cortez is the only person in the game who is gay More characters should've been hetero, though. I don't think there were that many in ME3.

Really? I didn't even know you could romance her considering she doesn't join your crew (or if she does I don't know how to get her to).

Liara isn't bi. Asari have one gender, that is it, so she is neither bi or straight or lesbian and technically she's not even a she.

I don't know, Liara was pretty easy. All I did was tell her "You're special" on The Citadel and that was that.

Romances are definitely easier in 3 than they were in 2. Heck, I hooked up with Liara only 10 hours into the game.

I thought the freedom of romance in DA2 was fantastic! What was offputting was when as a male character all the guys started hitting on me, and when I politely turned them down, they got really pissy about it. Having freedom of sexuality is great, but it makes me uncomfortable when every freaking guy in the game starts trying get me into a relationship, just like it would in real life.

Yeah, I heard that was a pretty bad implementation of same sex relationships. I think Mass Effect 3 does it well enough, you can still remind on good terms with the person and have them not want to get in your pants. Basically, they just force you to make the first move if you wanna go that way.
