About this mod

Attempts to make which options pursue a romance clearer and open up platonic options to Shepard regardless of gender.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Backport of my Optional Flirting Mod for LE2.

Romance/Flirt options will be on the left side of the dialogue wheel, either upper or lower (or both!), but it's important to keep in mind that not every left side option is a flirt; context is important. Vanilla 2 likes to use these spots on the dialogue wheel far more than 3 ever did. For the most part, my general rule was if it was a specific investigate option unlocked by a previously taken investigate option, leave it. Others were moved into the main investigate section, and yet others (very rarely) were moved to the right side of the wheel (I tried to avoid this last option whenever possible, as it seemed to make things even more confusing in-game, which is the exact opposite of this mod's goal).

My main goals aside from making things a bit clearer was to give FemSheps a platonic "I just want to talk" voiceline with Jacob, add an option so that Shepards don't have to hug/kiss Liara upon reuniting with her on Illium (now to hug/kiss her, you need to take the paragon interrupt that I added), and to open up friendly platonic options to Shepards who may otherwise be stuck with clearly flirty or renegade options when talking with potential love interests. There's also options to remove Aria's "find a nice girl/man to keep you warm" comment and/or Gianna's kissing a Male Shepard at the end of their Illium meetup (if Same-Gender Romances is also installed and these options are selected, they will override that mod's changes to those scenes).

Notes
  • This is only for games that are using English-audio. I have open permissions for translations.
  • Some of FemShep's dialogue with Jacob is still kinda flirty in non-flirt options. v_v
