MASS EFFECT TWO: GIVE GARRUS A HUG - Page 64

Solid Snake · 02-21-2010, 12:58 AM

Well, if you think about it, aggressive xenophobic women are probably the least likely individuals to play the Mass Effect series. So Bioware's just giving proportional emphasis to the characters the gamer is most likely to pursue relationships with.

EDIT: Also Mirai, don't tell me you've forgotten about Joker. Last I checked, he was human and male!

My Shep is an aggressive xenophobic woman who was so bored by her only romantic interest she shot herself.

Even aggressive xenophobic women still have the option to stay loyal to Kaiden.
And while Kaiden's no keeper, compared to Jacob...I'd say your Shepard could settle for the Carth Onasi soundalike.

Last I checked, if you tried to bone him and sneezed, his bones would be a pile of dust. :p

"Well Shepard, I still want to try and do this - just letting you know ahead of time that I'm going to have to be on top, unless breaking bones turns you on."

You guys are so fickle.
True love isn't all about sex, or the pleasure derived from the act.

I mean if we can seduce Tali and Garrus, I don't see why seducing Joker wouldn't be an option. Sex with Tali and Garrus has to be so inherently uncomfortable that Shepard's doing it despite the trans-species issues, out of sheer love for his/her soulmate. That's what makes it even more powerful to pursue those two, it's not an 'easy match' like Shepard and Miranda would be, it's about love overcoming those arbitrary barriers.

Similarly, I don't see how Joker's illness presents an impregnable barrier against being considered an LI. Clearly Bioware didn't go in that direction, for whatever reason, but I think including him as an LI for femShepards in ME3 would be a smart move.

Joker is already in love with EDI.

FemShep can't have him.

DFM · 02-21-2010, 01:24 AM

I don't know, I never really felt anything for Joker. Yeah he's funny and I'm glad he's my pilot and all that but I have a hard time seeing him as a romantic interest. Like, Thane was all up in my bidnez with being cool and sexy even though he was a fish and Garrus was ugly like some kind of Reaper space demon but he's totally sweet and a man's man. Jacob is like I dunno I think he got lost in the ducts or something because I can never find him on my ship. Weird thing though after I lost him on the suicide mission that lamp in the armory disappeared, I guess it's like symbolic.

Random little derail from all the talk of xeno-sexing.

Maybe it's vestigial from when they were turtles?
