Fantastic game and great end to the trilogy … until the last 5 minutes which I have simply ignored in the second playthrough and since then told myself that it never happened.

Still no Romance with Tali if you’re a woman, which is too bad because I was hoping they’d stick it back in after pulling it late in production from ME2. But Liara was still wonderful and the relationship did feel like it had history.

You folks thought Traynor’s romance was shallow? After all those flirty post-mission conversations, the frolic in the shower, the bedside moral support before the second-to-last mission, and the really sweet conversation prior to the last mission? That’s hardly shallow. Traynor had more things to say to me than Liara ever did, and I romanced Liara in ME1 and the Shadow Broker DLC, AND I stayed completely faithful to her throughout all the games–until Traynor showed up. Frankly, I was expecting much more from Liara, and instead I got it in spades from Traynor. And honestly, I’m simply floored that Bioware actually put in some honest-to-God gay characters in ME3–and really good ones, at that! Traynor and Cortez felt like fully fleshed-out, real people, not stereotypes or tokens. I can’t think of any other big-budget, epic, wonderful games that have done that, ever. That in itself is an achievement worthy of commendation.

@Ami- Actually, if you look at the in-game codex for ME3 on the Asari, they have changed it from “monogendered” to “all-female race.” And I agree, the romance with Traynor and Allers was far less then what everyone got. On the flip side, those who romanced Liara had far MORE then any other romance, gay or straight. Does it balance out? Probably not.

@Jpersons You are correct, no ones wants to talk about the ending, although from what I am reading they just might do a DLC or something. I’ll believe it when I actually see it, though.

meh, Im sure Some Asari have preference towards a certain species or sex, and seeing I never played as a guyshepard I wouldnt know she Doesnt
(And I dont need to know that she doesnt totally ‘Headcanon’).
For the most part Samantha Traynor Was pretty hollow Romance wise,
Hoped for somthing a bit better then Kelly from Mass Effect Two
(And it was..but still.)
I dont think i would consider the Reporter for an option for Either of my shepards.
Loved the Combat Over all(always somethings) But I’m not to into shooters anyway.
Loved the customization As always.. I was Scared At first after seeing The Femshep that ‘won’, Very Glad that It can Greatly differ from that.

The Story WAs Just.Amazing In more then A few Ways, Complete Heyday feeling
Noone wants to talk about the ending….to much

You forgot to add that the only lesbian romance (since project director Casey Hudson had stated that romance with Liara “is not lesbian at all”) seriously lacks in content compared with any other, including gay male romances.

It’s basically two shallow conversations without even one scene on Citadel, which everyone else got, and “hot girl on girl scene”. And that’s it.
