Yeah, is it just me or do guys keep getting boned in the romance dept? I mean, in Dragon Age... well, I guess Dragon Age isn't a good example because they were all ridiculous.
But in ME1, they had xenophobic hick who tried to tell you how to do your job no matter the regs or how many times you told her to shut up or the barely-legal shut in. In ME2, they have Miranda, Jack or Tali. I watched them on youtube.
Jack, it smacks of Shepard being all, "you're safe now" and it squicked the hell out of me because there's no way she could consent to that, she's too screwed up. You don't offer a healing hand to someone mentally unstable and then insert penis.
Miranda's was more of a, "Congratulations, I've decided you're good enough for me." So if there was an option to do her and then tell her something like, "you were good enough to do, but that's it." maybe it would have more appeal.
Tali's was cute. And Kelly is a super freak regardless of gender.
Garrus and Thane are both good choices depending on your tastes. I'm still horrified at Shepard's come ons to Jacob, though.
Yeah the male!Sheps get the short end of the stick for both ME 1&2. I didn't like either Liara or Ashley (whom I never seem to be able to let survive Virmire). Miranda seems okay (but come on, she totally needs to hook up with Jacob instead), but kinda typical and boring. Jack seems so utterly fucked up, and I can't stand the magical unicorn healing sex fantasy that her romance seems to be.
Maybe it's karmic payback though for giving women Anomen as their only romance choice in BG2.
Tali's on the other hand seems pretty sweet and cute. I think I may have to suck it up and play a dude!Shep game just for that. That is, if I can figure out how to make a dude!Shep that doesn't look like an inbred hick. But first I have to try out Thane, I think. And one Shepard is going to have to stick with Kaidan, because even though I like Garrus better and I'm kinda pissed at his reaction on Horizon, I still have a soft spot for Mr. Alenko.
