It's a shame because Reyes Vidal is, in my opinion, the only interesting romance in the game. Whereas the OT romances had a foundation of the LI's loyalty to Shepard, it makes so much thematic sense that a green pathfinder would end up in an entanglement with someone whose motives are nebulous and occasionally duplicitous. (I love the moment where they're drinking wine on the roof and Ryder gives him a hard time for not being genuine, and when Reyes replies, "I'm always genuine, Ryder. In my own way." You can tell he wants so badly for them to believe him!)
But letting Sloane die is such a bucket of cold water. It's weird that it's played as the happiest ending, especially since Sloane had been coming around to Ryder and was a very interesting character. This is something I desperately want to write fix fic for.
