Well, according to the AMA on Reddit today we may well need to kiss even this small hope goodbye. Apparently Lucanis is a very passionate individual who can't get past Rook abandoning Treviso, but his passions mean that he will still pursue Neve. It feels kind of insulting as a response, especially as he remains the only character who can get locked off in such a way (and holds Shadow Dragon Rook to an absurd double standard)
I hope modders have our back.
Edit for a thought: he's so passionate that he can forgive the person responsible for his time in the Ossuary. He just can't forgive Rook for dividing their attention.
The AMA is why I’m here too. :/ It sucks. 10 years waiting for a sequel and the most popular male romance option is the only one that can get locked out of the romance, AND he relentlessly pursues one of your “friends” after telling you to kick rocks because he’s so PASSIONATE (but not THAT passionate, because he doesn’t kiss you until the last possible moment. Maybe Neve lights up his passions better or whatever.)
All that plus the multiple answers that said the story was done and were not getting anything but QOL and bug fixes and I’m just…done. I would have been happier if they’d said it was due to time crunch or something, but all I’m hearing is we get to look forward to more of this miserable experience going forward. Whoo.
If they’re taking feedback for Mass Effect—background romances should probably stay in the background and locking out ONLY a male love interest isn’t cute.
