User blog:Lord Saren101/Lasting romances in Mass Effect.

This may come off as a bit of a rant, but I suppose thats what a blog is for :P. Bioware made a big deal in pre game interviews, and the like about staying faithful to your original love interest in ME 1, but introduces a plethora of potential new romantic partners in ME 2. I happen to be a big Ashley Williams fan, she was great, so naturally on my main character I stayed Loyal to her, and still do on playthroughs on that toon. It just has left an incredibly sour taste in my mouth that the only interaction is a short and blunt reunion on Horizon, followed by an email telling you they still want to be with you, and finally a cutscene with you staring at a picture. It just seems to do the whole ME 1 romance little to no justice. Hopefully ME 3 will have a satisfying storyline for the relationships, because ME 2 surely did not. Just my rant for the day.

(Makes ya wonder if a new love interest is chosen in ME 2 if they will be disregarded in ME 3, the way the original love interest was in ME 2.)
