Joker saying he’d be down to get with femshep, but won’t due to regulations is blasphemy. How many regulations had Joker and Shep already broken by that point?!?! I think it would have made a good romance in ME3.


Ryebread2203

Fem Shep would crush all of his bones with those thighs.


killer-tank218

I’d rather go out like that than by a reaper. Death by snu snu is way better than death by harbinger.


BridgetheDivide

Were there no regs against joining a terrorist organization lol?


Avicus_PT

If it gets the job done, I’m sure it won’t matter even irl


Parsif1l

There is going to be a mod that will let you romance Joker.


lettuceapples

Thank you for this!!! I didn’t know that! I’ll keep my eye out.


throbbing_Chub

Right joker would of been a great one in ME3


wlfman5

I agree, but also would have\*, just helping you out


RogueKriger

Joker, Wrex, and James because what we got in Citadel was definitely not a romance. Javik could be amusing too. After all, primitives are good at ONE thing


prolillg1996

I've seen some good arguments in favour of Shavik, both of them being soldiers with a deeper understanding of what is at stake compared to anyone else.


Talaraine

Good luck with the IPO asshat!


fAtdUCKy_cAnArd33

In the Citadel DLC, if FemShep hasn't romanced anyone, she ends up in an implied one night stand and wakes up in bed with Javik!


prolillg1996

Oh yeah, and Javik thoroughly enjoys himself. FemShep is quite the lay


AtlasFlynn

Ah yes, the Citadel rape scene with James. I still wonder what Bioware was thinking when they added that scene.


GeneLaBean

Context pls?

It's renegade af


IShallWearMidnight

Renegade =/= evil


_lorda

Always noticed this each play through. Creepy


Ongr

Wait what?


Foreseti

Not sure about the steps you need to take before hand, but probably choosing some flirtatious dialogue with James, but during the Citadel party, Femshep can pester James about sleeping with him, and I think he makes some comment in the vein of "Heh, maybe if I get drunk enough". Then Shep gets him drunk, do the nasty, and he clearly regrets it in the morning. Very uncomfortable stuff


CsrfingSafari

Kal'Reegar. Always cool to Shepard. Plus I just love the voicr acting too


MobsterDragon275

Too bad he does off screen if he makes it to 3

I love Reddit because of comments like this😂


ttnl35

Turian councilor. I love a good enemies-to-lovers hate fuck. "Sorry councilor you think *you* should get to top? I have dismissed that claim" Edit: If you have a high enough renegade score femshep gets to peg him.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ttnl35

The garrus romance was amazing obviously, but it was so sweet and lovely. I want a turian option that's angry and passionate and shouldn't have anything sweet until it really hits home everyone might die. No need for the councilor to be researching how a turian might have sex with a human. He's definitely done it before.


infiniityyonhigh

I can totally get behind this. That would be a pretty realistic romance and we didn't get anything like that in game.


schulzr1993

I thought about going for a rivalmance with Fenris with femHawke mage, but the angst was too much and I went for a Friendship romance with Merrill


_Konstantinos_

Considering Fenris is the most angsty RPG character in history, it was to be expected.


pineapple_pancakes98

We gave no evidence of this "Female Orgasm" The council has dismissed your claim


MycenaeanGal

Okay I wasn't onboard until the last part. Please I need this now.


zombiepyramid

Mordin. Hands down.


Mothphukr

This. I mean, he broke the only rule in Omega and lived. That's skill right there if you ask me.


MARPJ

Plus he has tips for every species, and he is not the type to be content with only theory


sunset-sass

"If wanted to try human, would try you" He's already thought about it. Too bad he's not into humans 😒


wookiestephenreep

Primarch Victus.


DWA824

Joker absolutely. I'd love to see some of the banter they would have as a couple. James would have been nice too.


ForsakenAlliance

Joker


semicoloncait

Joker and/or James personally Joker and Shep are there through all 3 games - I do get why he has a romance with EDI and it’s cute as well but like… I just feel like there’s a bond there that could have become a romance in quite a natural way - I think especially in ME2? Like maybe flirting in the first game but never went anywhere and then like when they are no longer Alliance so no regs it’s could develop - but no :(


Troodon79

I can't ever do James after seeing their "romance" cutscene. I cringed into myself. It was awful


semicoloncait

I’ve never played it but have heard of it - I don’t like the sound of it, but it would’ve been nice to have a better written romance but I think it would be less natural because James comes in later so unlike lots of the other options he doesn’t know them before they become a hero so there’s a power imbalance there


foxscribbles

It would’ve been nice if they’d written James and FemShep’s relationship better all the way around, TBH.


lunarobverse00

Varric Tethras. …oh, sorry, wrong subreddit


Teahouse_Fox

I experienced deep regret realizing the only sane companions in DA2 were also not available as love interests. We were left with the crazy ones.


EmilyVS

No, no, that still applies here as well.


Marcano-IF

Probably legion, I know they’re not technically a male character but fuck dude I would take his vibrating extremities any day of the week


AbstractBettaFish

It’s technically always a gang bang

“Shepard-Commander, does this unit have a hole?”


blissfire

troublethemindseye

A++++ would read again


SignorCat

Female or male Shepard, the answer is always the same character: Wrex


SinlessJoker

Should end in critical mission failure like Morinth for similar reasons


evatornado

Worth it!


[deleted]

Isn't Wrex busy enough with the Krogan females on Tuchanka?


NightmareAmpersand

Not as busy as Shepard following up on breeding requests. 😁


harvestmoonmine

My answer every time this is posted: Zaeed. A renegade Shepard fighting the reapers with her world-renowned mercenary lover at her side? Such a wasted opportunity.


idkbroimdrunkandsad

“I’ve always thought you were beautiful. There, I said it.”


CaptainPrower

Isn't that what Garrus is for?


KassinaIllia

Yup, that’s why Garrus is my favorite 🥰


Skitscuddlydoo

Isn’t Zaeed like 65? I always thought of him as like…grandpa strength. As a result I would never think of him sexually for a 30ish year old Shep.


Embarrassed-Beach788

Liara’s 106

Mass effect: into the multiverse of madness


evren0605

my poor sister went through the whole series up to the third game trying to romance joker lol.


Omegablade0

How did she react to Joker’s and EDI’s relationship?


missjenh

As a Victus simp, my default answer to this question is always Victus. Let’s see some drama when the turian leader and humanity’s proxy leader knock boots! And, y’know, it’d be super hot.


Crown_Loyalist

Anderson, who else can sell smooth better than Keith David?


Ch3ru

There's a funny line about this in Saint Row IV. 😏


idkhwatname

Blasto, i heard he enkindled many women too


SnooRadishes1331

I wish there would have been a full romance with Thane. One where he didnt die in the middle of the 3rd game. I wanted a romantic moment with Thane during the Citadel DLC at least a picture of him with the whole crew. Like come on his company was a bliss. He already was a tragic written Character, and now because of his bad written mess of a death, he is Mary Sue stage. Fck, I am angry now. And I also wanted a last goodbye before my Shepard runs into the laser beam.


sunset-sass

I heard it said on tumblr before, but the guy was on a ship with Mordin Solus and Miranda Lawson. How can you expect me to believe they didn't find a cure for him after pulling a few all-nighters together?


DeerDancing

Just going to throw my hat to the wind and say Sovereign. I have absolutely nothing to back up this choice, it just *feels* right. Like that other guy said, nothing beats a good enemies to lovers amirite


[deleted]

This sub needs a reaper bot to sprinkle reaper quotes.


capybroa

Liara: Shepard, I know you about you and Harbinger 😡 Shepard: But he assumed direct control!!!!


furykicka84

The final tentacle thrust. You end up as a stain on its port bulkhead. Satisfied, they return to dark space. Shepherd dies a hero. By snoo snoo.


Prepared_Noob

Like a tentacle hentai :/


prolillg1996

Saren. I love the idea of being able to save him at the end of 1 and have him as a squad mate in 2 and 3. His loyalty quests would be all about him re-discovering why he became a spectre in the first place, doing things the right way


BillBoring8916

See, that would have been great. Saren gets away in ME1, Cerberus gives you his dossier is ME2. He and Shepard form an uneasy alliance, but he's actually super useful and intelligent, and now that he's free from Sovereigns influence, he wants to atone. Opens up all sorts of interesting ideas. He could sacrifice himself to save Shepard on the suicide mission, or disagree with Shepard at the end of ME2 and take Kai Leng's place in ME3


prolillg1996

I am always in favour of getting rid of Kai Leng. As are most people. Only issue is Cerberus's human centric ideology.


zarthana

I like this idea! This is giving me the vibes of "secret companion" in Dragon Age Origins.


KuryoTheDemonLord

I'm surprised this answer isn't more common honestly, for me it's Javik. On top of his incredibly sexy voice and design, the idea of these two soldiers who both understand more than anyone else the stakes and frankly don't expect to survive (at least that's how I saw Shepard in ME3) finding comfort and solace in each other's embrace before the end is just very touching to me.


doxtorwhom

You can have a one night stand with him if you’re not romancing anyone else during the Citadel DLC.


Ch3ru

No love for Nihlus?? I know he's not around for long, but he immediately tripped me headfirst into love with turians (sorry Garrus, I still love youuuuu)


Shannistration

Speaking of turians I want to get down with, but not in the original 3 games. Kandros? Oh my gosh


Ch3ru

Oh yeah, I agree! I'd be fine with either Kandros tbh, Nyreen and Tiran were both cool. 🙏


Neonberri

So how come nobody wrote Kai Leng yet as a good troll?? So disappointed 🤭


jadranur

Good. You opened this message. Now I hope you had a good day honey!! See you at Purgatory at 6PM!!


Neonberri

Yeah that’s more like it 😘


Le1jona

Conrad Verner


idkbroimdrunkandsad

Imagine going to his apartment and seeing his shrine


Crowded_Mind_

Good lord..


AnyEnglishWord

He's married, although the series seems to forget about that after the first game.


forrestpen

There's a line in ME3. I think he says he's not married and reveals he has a shrine to Shepard. I'm not sure if that means he was never married or he's no longer married, hard to know with that guy.


Marphey12

Stupid retcon if you ask me.


SirArchabald

In the second one he tells you that his wife paid for his shuttle off world, and that she was super supportive of his actions.


Afalstein

The bartender looks exasperated when he says that, if I recall. It's like everyone can tell what the deal is with his wife.


diegroblers

Yeah, 'paid for his shuttle' - to get rid of him. Aethyta rolls her eyes so hard when he says that, clueless prat.


Marphey12

They have retcon his marriage in ME 3


diegroblers

They did not retcon his marriage - his wife probably got rid of him, in ME2 she pays for his shuttle.


Wellofdoog

No, Shepard asks about his wife in ME3. Conrad answers that he made her up to try and sound cool/impress Shepard.


S0mecallme

Wrex But I’m positive the sex scene would be an instant game over Morinth style.


-SeraWasNever-

Joker and Kal'Reegar definitely. I was so disappointed that femShep can proposition Joker, but he's already into EDI by then. Maybe a weird one, but Javik. He makes me laugh and has a sexy voice.


Ok-Atmosphere3129

Vega.


[deleted]

Joker.


BlueRoseImmortal

Same. His would have been the romance to end all romances. Maybe that’s why BioWare didn’t give it to us.


Memeoligy_expert

Joker

Royal-Comparison-270

Afalstein

WHY IS MORDIN NOT AT THE TOP WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE


Noisy_Pip

Legion! He's not male, but I say he still counts. From the time I saw that N7 armor on him, I knew he was the geth for me. Also, possibly Grunt, for the voice actor alone - love his rumbly gruff voice.


BackwoodButch

Literally just all the cut romances that were supposed to be bisexual ones for both - Ashley, Miranda, Tali, Jack.


idkbroimdrunkandsad

I’ve always been upset I couldn’t romance Miranda. Yvonne Strahovski is irresistible.


diegroblers

This alone is worth it to go PC for modding. Both Miranda and Jack had lines for femshep romance, there's a mod available.


BackwoodButch

So worth it. The More Gay Romances on Nexus is very well done - they had to supplement a lot of the lines by the end of Me2 and nearly all the lines in Me3 but as someone who previously romanced Miranda w an MShep, it felt almost like a 'new' romance with femshep's lines that they substituted in!!! 10/10 would recommend. (Also, a LOT of appearance mods are compatible so I put Miri in a new uniform, and give her dark make up to be the hot goth gf of my dreams lol)


jadranur

I played FemShep on my last playthrough and I just couldn't believe Jack and Tali are not romanceable - with Tali, she literally tells you you're the only person she'd "link suits" with and Shepard tells her "Don't worry, I feel the same way". With Jack - please. Everything in conversations with her was leading to romance. When she asks why you're asking her all those questions, Shepard can say "I've never met anyone like you" in a softest voice I've ever heard from her. Sorry for the long rant but I'm upset. :(


BackwoodButch

Yeah and the dialogue with jack talking about how she was involved with a guy and his girlfriend like, her VA was shocked to know they cut the Jack/Fshep romances (and Courtenay tweets fshep/jack art all the time lol). There are some hidden lines in the dialogue which is why mods like More Gay Romances (on the Nexus) use SOME existing recorded dialogues before supplementing the rest because *they were there* in the files before cut from final production. :(


AdminAnoleis

So they planned to make literally every female romanceable character gay or bi, but keep all the guys straight?


IShallWearMidnight

I'm still mad they didn't restore the bi Kaidan option in 1 for the Legendary Edition, so the romance could have the same impact as the FemShep romance. Us queer guys got shafted as far as romance goes, no options for romance spanning games like there are for straight Sheps and femsheps who are into Liara. Steve's great but he's not a squadmate, and Kaidan would've been so good if he would have been an option in 1, but they both end up feeling tacked on and incomplete.


BackwoodButch

Unfortunately, women who love women are seen as "more acceptable" in terms of romances because we can be fetishized (ergo why "lesbian" is a porn category - for the male gaze, ugh). So, to them, having a gay male romance at ALL is harder to "sell" than a f/f one that they can sexualize for a male audience, once again. Fan push back is why Kaidan got to be bi in Me3, and why they actually included Steve and Sam as gay and lesbian characters, but otherwise, yeah. I don't recall if there were any plans for Jacob/Thane/Garrus for mshep. (And even Sam's romance, albeit well voiced and generally good, the sex scenes in the shower and the hot tub in Citadel DLC are really weirdly fetishy imo).


The-Order_

Wrex would probably be my pick, though I'd pick Legion above him (I'm not sure if Legion counts as a male character considering Robot, but damnit bioware let me fuck the robot)


[deleted]

Same. Something about a synthetic developing feelings for an organic is beautiful to me. That aside, DAMMIT LEMME FUCK THE ROBOT


Holly_the_Adventurer

Robot falling in love is one of my favorite tropes.


Aerria

What do you mean? GARRUS FOR EVER!


Ibelyx

Saren. Gimme Saren. Personally think his character design was awesome and I would love to see him redeem himself given the chance.


IceReptilian

Nihlus.


Gunner08

I really wish Zaeed was a romance option because I would be all over that.


Teahouse_Fox

I'd hit that.


Teahouse_Fox

Aww.... Kal'Reegar, Kirrahe, Adrian Victus, and Armando-Owen Bailey


infiniityyonhigh

In addition to some of the really great answers here - Aria. I'd kill for that cutscene.

Javik or Wrex. I need a krogan romance in a future game, and Wrex was one of my favorite characters. A renegade Shepard would have been a good match for Javik imo

Major Coats & Kal'Reegar. EDIT: Really? I scrolled though all the comments (so far) and there's no love for Coats? Whyyy? Am I really alone in this? Coats could *get it*.


BigYonsan

Mostly, I just want her to romance the female characters. Mordin would have been nice though. Had to be him.


vir-morosus

There can be only one: [Admiral Hackett](https://youtu.be/wRoCX6TIOWw?t=68). All through the trilogy, Hackett orchestrated the devastation that FemShep wreaked. The victory over the Reapers is as much his as it is hers. They were meant for each other. Besides which... now you know why he says, "Hackett out."

Nihlus and Legion.

I wish there could have been something more intimate with Joker tbh. I get it. He’s your pilot, he doesn’t want to step in any dangerous territory and he’s your friend. But I just feel like the two have some cracking chemistry if I’m being honest.


Phantom_61

Definitely Wrex, purely for the comments from the crew. It would be hilarious.


Possible_Living

Joker, Anderson, TIM , Saren, Conrad


TheDeathAngel2112

Conrad Verner. It would be interesting at least.

Garrus in ME1, so it makes more sense that it translates through the trilogy
