Mass Effect apparently won’t be introducing any new love interests for Commander Shepard, and instead, play games with everybody’s heads. So just like real life, really.
“We don’t really have new characters that are part of the romance stuff in the way that we did in Mass Effect 2, where we introduced a lot of characters,” Casey Hudson, executive producer on the project, tells PC Gamer. “So this is more about how you, if you’re a new player, how you start these romances with the existing characters. If you’ve had relationships with previous characters, then it’s your opportunity to resolve those.
“But we also have some interesting things happening, where you’ve got Ashley and Kaiden from the first game, you’ve got Liara, and there’s sort of a love triangle there. And then we gave people a bunch of new characters.
“People said ‘Well, I just want my Mass Effect 1 characters, and I’m not interested in any of these characters.’ But then a lot of people had romances with those characters, and now the fun is bringing back some of those characters from Mass Effect 1 and putting them back in the mix, and looking at what you did in Mass Effect 2 and bringing some… interesting scenarios around those things.”
So maybe next time the Normandy hits the Omega 4 Relay, it’ll be an act of desperate escape.
