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.<\/p>\n
“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<\/a>. “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.<\/p>\n “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.<\/p>\n “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.”<\/p>\n So maybe next time the Normandy hits the Omega 4 Relay, it’ll be an act of desperate escape.<\/p>\n
