    My Shepard was celibate, can’t waste time on romance when you’ve got:

    • A galaxy to save
    • Garrus’ calibrations to review

    13 years since mass effect 3 came out.
    Even with the controversial ending (which I didn’t find a big deal) it felt like they were on a roll…

    Tali or Legion? Legion.

      First time I played the game, I lost Tali in ME2 so the choice to save the Geth was straight-forward. Second time I played, I didn’t have enough rep to save both and I watched the Geth destroy the quarians while Tali jumped backwards off a cliff. Third time, I did everything I possibly could to max out my Paragon and save both, gloriously.

    Honestly, FemShep is so much better, she’s more richly developed as a character than BroShep ever was.

      How is she more richly developed than broShep? Don’t they have more or less the exact same stories? And from what little I’ve seen, the male romances are generally better?

      I read people complained that ME1’s character creator was ass. I guess it must have gotten that reputation by being kind of ass for making a dude, because my Shep was a badass bitch. Voice actress was on top of things too. She’s by far the most memorable custom character I played.

      Until ME3 where they yassified her from a 40-something war veteran to a glossy-skinned 25 year old lifestyle vlogger. Interestingly that made me - a cis man - feel viscerally connected to the injunction to look a certain way for the male gaze, and I got so fucking mad at bioware during that intro cinematic.

      I’m scared to mod because I’m on Linux and playing LE, so I don’t know if the mods would even work

        I’m in the same boat, want FemShep, always romance Tali. The ME2 LE romance mod is pretty painless. Unfortunately, last I checked, the modder never finished the ME3 LE mod. There’s a way to force it in ME3 by hacking the save file and it’ll still get you there, but it won’t be as seamless.
