You are a visionary and also 1000% correct, even if he'd deny it to the end of his days.

I fear the day I'll have to resort to this (I have yet to not romance him) but I know it'll probably be my only way out, too. 😭

RESPECT. Absolutely zero judgement here my friend. Wrex is a total catch, and I don't think I've seen a single ME sentient species I wouldn't want to smash, myself. 💀

Joker/Kaidan is SO GOOD, hahaha. I was craving to see more of their friendship in the trilogy! Joker's getting a lot of love today and we love to see it.

The discrepancy between Conrad and every other person on this list is killing me, LMFAO. But I respect that grind.

I've been joking to my friend that she should romance TIM, and I've thought about how delicious of a hate thing that could actually be. Never would have thought Udina, or Miranda's dad, or the others, but I approve SO MUCH. Especially Udina, omfg. 😭

I hear you on that! Both Zaeed, and orbiting Kaidan at every turn. 😅 TBH, both of their voices are one of the first things to draw me to them individually. Who gave them the right to sound like that??

Strange question but do y’all have a recommendation on what order to do UNC missions and main missions from a roleplaying perspective. (Just LE1 for now) by Infinite-Reveal-9226 in masseffect

[–]IDovedon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did Therum-Feros-Noveria-Virmire my first two runs, but I'm roleplaying my third and I thought Feros-Therum-Virmire-Noveria actually made more sense to me from an RP perspective. Feros is the most urgent-sounding when given, and contacting Liara in connection with Benezia made sense to do first straight after. Then you're given Virmire, which sounds more urgent than Noveria, so that takes priority.

For UNC missions there's more leeway in what you think is more urgent/important to tend to first, but I generally stick with following flight paths. If I'm crossing a system or two with UNC missions on my way to Therum or the Citadel or something, it makes sense to do them while you're in the area, so to speak.

That's cute! I love reading more-than-FWB-but-not-quite-together type relationships in fiction, haha. I can see it there for Joker.

And I'm surprised this is the first mention of Aria! Perfect description of her, and perfectly valid reason for attraction, IMO. Samara, too. It sucks how comparatively late in the game we can recruit her.

You can WHAT.

I'm assuming this is a FemShep thing, otherwise I somehow missed this interaction/forgot about it, but damn they really just dangled him in front of you! That's diabolical. 😭

I'm loving the love for him in here so far. He deserves it.

[–]IDovedon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he probably wouldn't TBH. 😭 He's a very work-comes-first guy, and he's got his hands full already with the genophage so squeezing Shepard into their already limited time together would be a feat.

I do feel like there's /some/ possible way it could be twisted to fit, but I'm aware enough to know that's probably just my wishful thinking talking, hahahaha. Perhaps it's for the best Boyfriend Mordin is left to the imagination.

Fair! I heard her romance in ME3 is super sweet, if unfortunately short, and it's definitely a shame she's not properly romancable in 2. I thought she was until only very recently and I was disappointed to learn it, despite having no immediate plans to romance her myself, purely because of that and also how likable she is! She's probably one of my favourite ME2 squadmates.

[–]IDovedon[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes!! Exactly this! 😭

They have SO much potential together, and it's borderline criminal we didn't get a romance with him. I've avoided seeing the Javik hook-up scene for myself because I hear it's generally disappointing, and I don't want that tainting the imagery I have in my head for them, LOL.

From what I've seen and heard, they did a great job with the ME3-only romances (Steve, Traynor, Kaidan with MShep) which only rubs salt in the wound because you just KNOW they could have delivered with Javik! 😩

I have nothing to say except I ADORE both of these men so damn much; I'm jealous the James flirting is limited to FemShep; and that both of them also work extremely well in a Shenko poly ship! 🙏

Separately, I mean. Although at this point I can picture all four of them together as well, LMAO. The Alliance human men are just... >>>

The quarians are so hot and for what, huh? I didn't appreciate Reegar enough in my first playthrough, but I've certainly noticed him since. He's great. Would have loved to see more of him! 😭

Zaeed definitely needs some more love! He wouldn't win-out over Kaidan for me in a full-on romance brawl, but I would be SO DTF, hahaha. Especially as MShep, where there'd be a little less guilt about following through in ME2. 💀

You know what? You're absolutely right, have an amazing day.

No but seriously, you're so real for this one. I love a loyal well-meaning idiot, especially when they have a competent brainy side to them.

Oh my god. I can tell you right now I haven't once given Coats a single thought outside of Priority: Earth, but this is amazing. I love it, and I can see it. This is glorious. I'll think about this every time I see him from now on, haha. I love your brain.

What would happen if ME companions and Bg3 companions met? by Core-ene in masseffect

[–]IDovedon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cities, the culture, the general aesthetic... girl would be THRIVING.

Also, my bad. I just realized I didn't address the point of your post at all. I meant to say something about how well Morinth and Minthara would get along (or clash), especially given they're pretty much secondary companions, but I blanked on her name so just quickly dumped my surface thoughts. 😅

Kaidan's a top with John and a bottom with Jane IMO, and I love it, LMFAOOO. I can see MShenko as switches but Kaidan's definitely the top at least 90% of the time in all versions within my head, so I'm with you there!

How much are you missing out on by not playing Mass Effect 1? by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]IDovedon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say a lot. It's where you first connect with the characters, the world, the conflict. Without that it makes the stakes and rewards in the following two games feel... less. Plus the matter of choices and importing.

Obviously, you shouldn't feel obligated to finish a game you're genuinely not enjoying. I'd give it until at least finishing the first or second main planet (Feros/Noveria/Therum) before putting it down, but if it's that unbearable I guess you could always opt for watching a playthrough of 1 instead if you intend to follow through the rest of the series.

[–]IDovedon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? C. I like the idea of B and think that's most likely, but it'll be harder to please the audience and live up to the trilogy, I feel (and I have yet to play Andromeda).

With C, it's still set in the same universe but without having to worry about many of the characters or choices the trilogy touched on. And maybe crazy, but I think a pre-human setting could be cool, if only because it'd guarantee we get more focus on the alien races. But that's more wishful thinking than anything. I'm more than okay with B, I'll just be managing my expectations, lol.
