Many LGBT+ fans of the game were disappointed at same-sex romances being cut in the original version of the game. The mod can also be used in conjunction with the More Gay Romances mod that so far adds in same-sex romances for Jack and Miranda. It ensures romances aren’t assumed even if Shepherd is just being friendly. The mod re-arranges options on the dialogue wheel so that players can easily choose from a friendly option, a flirty option, and a renegade option. “The former’s annoying and the latter’s a rather immersion breaking solution (not to mention not a solution for people who don’t want to romance anyone).”

“I’ve always found it frustrating that being friendly in ME3 tends to lead to fending off romantic interest from people you just want to be friends with, unless you race to lock in your love interest before spending quality time with anyone else,” says mod creator phoenixsoul13 on the information page. The mod can be applied to Mass Effect 3 as part of the Legendary Edition. The Mass Effect games are known for their alien romances, but it’s all too easy to fall into an unintended relationship, which can be frustrating and off-putting for asexual and aromantic players.Īs spotted by The Gamer, a new Optional Flirting Mod is available that alters the dialogue wheel to ensure romances are opt-in only for players.
