On the romances: it works like in the first three games: you can tell that some romances are more worked on and seem to have more impact than others. In the first games it was basically Liara, you could tell that was the romance they wanted you to choose, and in this one it's Peebee, Cora and maybe Jaal. At least it's three instead of one. The others feel like secondary options just like in the original games.
I disagree with that opinion on the romances as Tali'zorah was the best romance in my opinion and Liara just felt like a "big sis" or "close friend" type character who then was out of the relationship running in the game (ME2) that was most focused on character relationships.
I would say you can tell certain characters are just used as side options due to their looks as in graphical comparison. For example compare Cora to Suvi or Jaal to Avela.
As a straight black guy these options don't effect me but these can clearly be seen as side characters not of equal importance. We never had this issue with the old ME games, only the writing of the characters was the lacking part. Trynor didn't look graphically worse than Miranda, Tali or Liara. She was clearly a side character and new addition but it wasn't so blatant as what can be found in this game.
The romances in this game for me are just lacking in appeal as none of them really attract me with either looks or character writing.
