Did you not watch the end of mass effect 3? He's seen taking a breath under some rubble, he's alive, nothing can hold the commander down, not reapers, not bullets..it's just a shame bioware didn't take advantage of that , but he's definitely alive after destroying the reapers. I believe in the commander.
Shepard helped Steve move on from his husband, changing him for the better. Even though Shepard's gone, Steve didn't let Shepard become an anchor to himself. He's happy and alive, and he's got the memory of his loving Shepard to thank for it. That alone is worth the smile at the end.
This was a great romance! Im not into men but wow... They sure make that a trilling one... And there were some good laughes with it ^^ And the moment when Steve shuttel get hit... Shiiittt... You literally feel shepards despair!
Steve is a really nice guy and you can tell that he cares about Shepherd regardless whether it's hear it relationship with him or a friendship.. even though I like to play a straight Shepherd.. I play all the romances... I just recently started playing as a female Shepard and I've been playing the game for a really long time but I'm thinking that I will never like the female Shepard as much as I like the male Shepard but I ended up liking her just as much and sometimes even more....... now I never romance Steve when I was a male Shepard because he just lost his husband. And you're just going to put him through the same pain as he did before... I respect and admire Steve back and never romance home because I never want to see him hurt again..
Cortez is a good guy. I gotta say having a gay relationship with Kaiden feels more natural, but Cortez is the best second. Kinda wish Ash and Kai got better characterization to start.
My heart went racing when Steve shuttle got shot down in the final mission, I screamed "NO !" so loud that I didn't hear him saying that he was ok ^^". Loved him so much.
If it wasn't for the connection of them being on horizon during 2, meeting him in 1 would have aligned better, during while you were still in the alliance. Finding him crying about losing his husband and then helping him recover seems to be perfect for number 1, then in 3 you meet him again and then you couple together. Being together while he's still moving on doesn't sit right with me. It's annoying because I love this romance so much, but the timing of getting together in 3 isn't right ☹
Yeah, that was bugging me with this romance. A bit rushed, and Shep kinda take advantage of a very hurt man. The timing is off, but I like them, they are cute, and some banter are better than with my LI choice. Also Cortez have a very nice smile. But I stand with my MSepXKaidan. They are cute too :D (with ME1&2 romance mod, and without it too as they have time to realize their feelings for each other, and like each other very much already, and even then Kaidan "a bit" butthurt with the whole Cerberus thing in is spot on... I would be so lost and angry too, if the guy I love suddenly reappears, (seemingly) team up with the baddies after I thought he was dead for 2 years. Imagine the shock...) I love your last sentence, totally get it.
romance in desperate times is actually way faster than normal circumstances, the fear of potential death has some weird effects on people. look at some of the world war love stories
I’m fan girling so hard. Tali is now second to THIS on my male shep play through. I just watched the video twice and I’m still going to play through again to experience it myself lmaooo
Love my MShenko! I do, but some of the lines in this romance were a bit "expressive" for lack of a better description with Shepard and Cortez! Some of these lines had me blushing and thinking to myself "Why weren't these lines available for MShep and Kaidan romance?" They were very "sexual" and "cute" at the same time! By the way they speak to each other it makes it so much easier to sum up who the top is (Shepard)! With Kaidan, it was hard to figure out, but then again Shepard might of been more versatile in his romance with Kaidan.
I've never played this game but I watch almost all the romances and I not really familiar with all the characters but this romance was actually pretty emotional
I'm not into the whole guy on guy romance thing...but what the writers did really well here is the portrayal of survivors guilt. Man oh man is it fucking real. And it hurts. And it's fucking hard to let go of. They did a really good job with that.
A Steve's on Earth b you see the Normandy take off back to Earth at the end of the thank if you actually got the extended cut like everybody should have it's free for fucksake. And c if you go with the destroy ending your Cortez never loses his Shepherd ever okay maybe someday but you know what I mean.
Bar scene @ 32:00 "Man Emergency" "My testosterone is plenty high!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Fun fact courtesy of my endocrinologist: If you're almost old enough to be one of the admirals and your testosterone is still over 1,000 one common side effect is loss of body hair
Low key didn't perform 1 paragon action on this man because I was afraid he'd think I was coming onto him or something. I'm new to the series and after Mass Effect 2, I wasn't taking any chances
Awww sad cortez just lost his husband! Now he loses Shepard! I heard there was somewhat of a good ending where Shepard take a breath or something, what do I need to do to get that ending or does Shepard just stay dead?
Gay people are some of the coolest mfs ive ever met in my life glad to see this game being upfront with this being real and acting grown and tolerant of this handling it like it should be! U can be just friends or u can go all the way with cortez if u choose that as a male shep ofc and i found cortez really cool and trust me ill never understand how a man can have feelings for another man and get pleasure from Male on Male relations but guess what.. Im not a homophobic piece of shit and i see em as people not as gay people or as something less than straight ppl nah them being gay is just like how we are straight and thats cool in my book just dont try to seduce me lol i find the female form highly arousing thank u very much lol but im definitely not gonna shy away from being cool wit a known gay person i have a few as friends and id stand by em fight by em drink wit em whatever their still guys and their just another homie in my book 💯🙏🏾 P.s whoever read this whole damn rant i applaud u lmao and god bless u seriously.. Unless u disagree with everything ive said and ur homophobic or sumn smh
This is my first play through doing this romance. Normally as male shep I go for Tali or Kaiden, but I wanted to try the Steve romance for once. I like it. Especially what he says in between the missions :)
I love this haha. Those two are like aggressively gay. I'm so glad this is in the game. As a bi dude, Tali has my heart. Watching this though, especially the "under the bed" comment I'm dying. It's hard to imagine it's from the same game.
I loved this. Love is love regardless of genders involved. This is coming from a straight gal who thinks that in realty we've let politicians get away with defining culture pitting folks against each other instead of bringing us together. One day this country will finally get that for the most folk we don't care. I just hope that it doesn't take a catastrophic event to get us there. I noticed that you saved Kaidan instead of Ashley. I have never saved Ashley. She's got too much mouth and thinks that she should be with Shep. To me, if they saved those Salarians, she should have been saved, too.
@@kirillplayback5801 I think it has to do with how much of you readiness going into the final battle you have or something like that as Some said that if you over 4000 Readiness you would get this type of ending (which i think is called PERFECT) with who you romanced Shepard with as this is the only ending that you could see that Shepard is alive and i think the Smile is telling/letting us know that the Love Interest knows that Shepard is still alive. Just started playing so going on what i see and watch so not complete sure
I agree but, they're cute too! Especially some of the things they say to each other! Kaidan and Shepard weren't that "verbally expressive" with each other (if you get my meaning)! Some of those lines made me blush!
Mass Effect is my favorite franchise in games of all time and one of the main reasons why people like it so much is because I'm a huge relationship you have play other characters such as your best friend is Garrus.. and on the best female relationships with Liara tsoni and if you don't get involved with her she still a great friend towards you and my favorite Tally's over who's my favorite relationship Romance.... I usually always change it up.. I actually just finished Airship with Samantha Taylor relationship is very short and you don't see a lot of it but it's still very sweet and I really do like the character Steve Cortes and he's really around such a nice guy and I would love to have female Shepard relationship with Steve but he just lost his husband and you know that you're going to die at the end even though my theory is that you live if you do destroy the Reapers.. Steve Cortes just lost his husband and is going to lose another partner it would be too much pain for him... in Mass Effect 2 you can have a love interest with Kelly Chambers where short with you throughout the game and if you're not seeing anybody you can invite her to strip for you and you can still have a love interest are in Mass Effect 3 but there is a incident where she tells you that she was spying on you and giving Daily Report how about you to the illusive man and if you don't forgive her she starts to cry and later on she commit suicide... she went into a room took a cyanide pill and just late and anybody that lost back-to-back relationships the way Steve lost his husband and Shepherd you're way too much friend my belief and for anybody and for that matter to lose loved ones like that back to back so I never Romance what sea of Cortez and it's really sucks because he's really good dude type of person you want to see good things happen to him
Am I the only one who thinks it would have been nicer if Steve and Samantha had been bisexual? I think it was fair if BioWare gave a chance to date these two characters for those people who like dark skinned ones.
How deep in the closet are you that you watch gay romance videos just to complain? xD And what do you mean it’s the only romance you never tried? There are multiple gay romance options in this series, for lesbians and gay men.. Admit it, you’re just jealous cuz you don’t have Shepard’s charm in real life.
@@g.s.651 yeah, I'm not as good-looking as Mark Vanderloo. So I'm crying my eyes out... Well, not really. Did it ever occur to you that when you watch any mass effect video others just show up in your recommendantions? Do you really think I searched for this video just to write an anti-gay comment? It's fun to see that I triggered some people. P.S. I totally forgot about Kaidan gay romance. Haven't tried it as well.
Loses his husband, meets shepherd, falls in love, looses shepherd
Did you not watch the end of mass effect 3?
He's seen taking a breath under some rubble, he's alive, nothing can hold the commander down, not reapers, not bullets..it's just a shame bioware didn't take advantage of that , but he's definitely alive after destroying the reapers.
I believe in the commander.
@@notjimpickens7928 We all do. That's why s/he's the Commander.
Again sucks to be your Cortez because my Cortez has never lost his Shepherd.
@@notjimpickens7928 Also thinks Shepard survived XD
😭😭😭😭
Gay or not, it was a good glimpse of men having feelings.
30:13 Vega's face hahahah the realization I can't😂😂😂😂😂
Oh dear god 😂 I actually LOL’d
I’m choking
(Scream) STEVE!!!!!!!
I’m fine
Are you sure?
lmfao that tone change is so jarring XDDD
LMFAOOOO
That's a bug.
That recording of the line was only supposed to be used if a romanced Steve dies.
Seeing Cortez crying at the beginning. Poor guy..
30:10 His FACE WAS AMAZING
James has the most adorable facial expressions when he feels awkward in general.
Lmao his double take was priceless
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've never romanced Steve, but that last scene of him smiling was heartbreaking. This was a very nice romance.
Shepard helped Steve move on from his husband, changing him for the better. Even though Shepard's gone, Steve didn't let Shepard become an anchor to himself. He's happy and alive, and he's got the memory of his loving Shepard to thank for it.
That alone is worth the smile at the end.
The way he shouted Steve was heart breaking.

30:09 I love How James eyes widen like he realised and had no clue 😂
He just realized his friends are about to bang and he should skeedaddle.
He’s like “wtf is going on here? I better leave”
Is not Adam and Eve! Is Shepard and Steve😊✌💞
When Cortez said "Dance with me," I thought it was over right there lol
Steve is one of the few characters that doesn't tease Shepard about his dancing.
The dancing is legit me on the dance floor
How they gonna make fun of his dancing when everyone but Tali can't dance? lol
Jack can dance too, just the men and femshep can't dance, which is bull crap
Miranda is a great dancer as well.
Jack, Samara and Miranda are good dancers but everyone else is trash and shouldn’t be talking 🤦🏻♀️😂
You havent seen james? Hes tearing up the dance floor
This was a great romance! Im not into men but wow... They sure make that a trilling one... And there were some good laughes with it ^^ And the moment when Steve shuttel get hit... Shiiittt... You literally feel shepards despair!
And then the nonchalant "You sure?"
Lol 69th like

Cortez is a good guy. I gotta say having a gay relationship with Kaiden feels more natural, but Cortez is the best second. Kinda wish Ash and Kai got better characterization to start.
im not into guys but i like this. this was done right
My heart went racing when Steve shuttle got shot down in the final mission, I screamed "NO !" so loud that I didn't hear him saying that he was ok ^^".
Loved him so much.
30:11 the O-O is the best thing
Really nice video! Thanks for including the idle comments - no one seems to do that!
James was hilarious 30:11
LMAO his face is fabulous

30:09 he was like HOLD UP 😳
😂😂😂
I’m fan girling so hard. Tali is now second to THIS on my male shep play through. I just watched the video twice and I’m still going to play through again to experience it myself lmaooo
Me toooo! I even made a new maleshep just for Steve when I get to ME3.
The voice acting for Steve is fantastic. So much so that I made an Adam Shepard just to romance him properly.
That part with wrex and target practice made me laugh uncontrollably.
Man Emergency X D
The lines where Steve's not one to be a co-pilot but when Wrex tells you to give hi the controls was funny.
Love my MShenko! I do, but some of the lines in this romance were a bit "expressive" for lack of a better description with Shepard and Cortez!

Gae
25:35 I really like how he winked after he said that
Oh I was so happy as I see that Shepard wasnt dead
38:50 space bowling- cortez style
It's good to see Tali, Garrus, and Jack alive
If i was into man he wouldve been with me
And that's a really cute couple! ^ ^
28:00 You just know that next time Javik is in the Kodiak, he'll sense this and have opinions
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 TRUE!
I AB SO LU TE LY love that last moment. That last breath. Jesus, always hits me.
36:33 Kaidan.. ):
This id the best i've ever seen in the whole series of mass effect😍😍 but the ending was sad😭 but i totally loved it!!
When I die, in another life, I want to come back as a character in the Mass effect World.
I've never played this game but I watch almost all the romances and I not really familiar with all the characters but this romance was actually pretty emotional
Cortez lost two men to this war
Sucks to be your Cortez mine usually chooses to destroy ending so he's never alone. So no he didn't lose to men.
I modded mine and got a real happy ending
Fucking gamer poop. During the citadel dlc scene all I could hear was “I used to wear a g string”
great vid man. I was just wondering how you got these endings on your vids?
Just talk to the person you want to romance and don't make mistakes in conversations.
I'm not into the whole guy on guy romance thing...but what the writers did really well here is the portrayal of survivors guilt. Man oh man is it fucking real. And it hurts. And it's fucking hard to let go of. They did a really good job with that.
I appreciate that but like in the beginning, you didn't mean like you don't support gay romances right?
@@catfacesarecool5948 yeah i was thinking the same.....
Your Shepard looks like a damn Pixar character
I KNEW HE WAS GAY

Five months late but if it makes it any better the writers have confirmed that Shepard survives the destroy ending.
Am I the only one who thinks it would have been nicer if Steve and Samantha had been bisexual? I think it was fair if BioWare gave a chance to date these two characters for those people who like dark skinned ones.
On one hand it was nice of then to add characters that were strictly gay/lesbian, but on the other I want all the RO to be bisexual lol.
This romance always felt too scumbagish to do imo.
sorry bro I got my husband Kaidan with me

in the mass effect universe, homosexuality is a choice. hah, how about that.
No, not really. The only choice is if you want your Shepard to be gay or not. Everyone else is irrelevant and likes what they like regardless.
Bisexuality and pansexuality are a thing.
@@thingamabitch pansexuality isnt, your either gay, bi, or straight.
Doesn't matter tho. All's fair in love between consenting adults
