One of the biggest draws to Mass Effect is its romances. As the Mass Effect Trilogy carries Shepard across three games, they have the opportunity to form close bonds with many characters, some of whom have been with Shepard for years. Mass Effect: Andromeda doesn't take place over three games, so the Ryders don't have the same advantage of potentially knowing their romantic partner across several games, but the romances were still well-written and worth pursuing. Some romances in both Mass Effect games are better than others though, with some beating out the others in quality.
