MEA is a long game compared to ME1 or ME2 or ME3. If done properly the characters would have a lot of time to develop. Romance would have time to blossom. Did it? In my opinion nope. Instead of having the sex scene at the end which they did with the previous 3 ME series. They moved it to around 70% mark of the game. What's weird is that there's nothing after that, the rest of the 30% of the game, after you romanced someone, she give you 1 email and change up the response to the flirt conversation line.
So to answer your question... Yes I would like to see more romance specific dialogue, on condition that quantity also means quality. Here's what I mean...
In the original ME series even the little chats and little side stories means so much. Eg the chat between Liara and her father. Short conversation, 2 mins max. Added so much flavour and value to the game.
The blue rose of illum story, it was very well written, beautiful story, powerfully delivered and very well executed(total time spent not more than 5 mins all added up together, in illum then tuchanka then citidel, its been years and it still haunts me, brings me goosebumps when I think of it). In contrast the story about the father and son in MEA, the Erics, EOS story.. Made me cringe rather than moved me. Conrad Verner, as dumb as he was, he added so much to the game, Cassandra Verner basically did nothing, just there to lay an easter egg. Yup Happy Easter Cassandra.
If all the romances had as much as Jaal got - they would be perfect.
His romance really is very well done.
Liam's romance was lame by comparison which is sad to me because that's the one I really wanted.
So much for the romances being equal ☹️. Jaal easy got twice as much romance animation and dialogue verses Liam's romance and some of Liam's is 'this animation or that animation' so what little he does have you can't even get all of in a single pt.
So yes I would totally take more for the romances that are lacking in attention.
