Always Liara.

But there is another, maybe greater: Shepard and the Normandy.

Shepard died with the first Normandy and both were sort of 'reborn'.

And I think in the end they die together again.

So why did you choose you're LI, why did you chose no one, and why?



I'm the type of person who always plays "alter-ego" character. I have my one and only character who pretty much does things the way I think I would do. Kaidan was a natural choice for me since he would be the one I would go for as well IRL. He is human and the quiet confident type who takes his time opening up (not to mention he is very nice to look at :whistle:). I don't like pushy, I don't like arrogant.

Garrus is a cool character but since he is a turian, going for him didn't seem rational for me. Also, I hate the concept of cheating from the bottom of my heart so I stayed loyal to Kaidan.

Jacob was a big turnoff for me from the start, I don't know why. Could be the whole "bro" wibe he is giving out. Thane...also not so much. He has plenty of hurt going on with his late-wife and angry, troubled son. And his eyes creep me out.

Liara...sorry, I don't do chicks *shrug*

The thing I don't get though, esp with VS, is how it counts as cheating? You were dead for 2 years and the VS started dating someone else. Sure in the mail they send they're hinting at the possibility of continuing/starting over with the relationship, but the way I see it you're not actually in a relationship anymore.

I understand if you choose to be loyal to your ME1 LI, with the hopes of being able to patch up everything that's happened and start over, but I just don't see it as cheating. Curious to what everyone else thinks regarding this.

Most of my Shepards are female and I pretty much play the way I hope I would if I were her.  Usually paragon or neutral but occasionally renegade responses. 
I liked Kaidan from the beginning when he was talking to Joker and continued to like him throughout the game so it was a given most of my Shepards fell for Kaidan and stayed with him through ME2.  In my mind we have been keeping in touch by e-mailing throughout the game.  Kaidan is my main LI and I just like everything about him. 

I have one female Shepard who sacrificed the love of her life, Kaidan, because it was the only option she felt she had.  She met Thane and found a connection that was unexpected but welcome and he tragically died in the final mission.  

The only romance any of my Shepards had that I found, umm not satisfying, was the Mr. Shepard  who ended up with Miranda and while i have nothing against it, I don't see a long term relationship forming between them, though they could surprise me.  I also had one male who wants to take care of Jake and it was sort of sweet.

Well maybe cheating is a too strong of a word for it. But the way I look at it, you didn't move on for 2 years, you were dead. You continue from where you were left. So I personally choose to wait especially since the email hints of a new possibility.

It's probably more about "cheating the memory" of the ME1 relationship. For me and my FemShep, moving on so fast simply wasn't a possibility.

I don't really see it as cheating either.  I would have liked an option to answer the e-mail with something saying I understand let's move on hope things work out for you, or I still want to see you when this is over, or drop dead how could you.   I think cheating is a bad choice of words.

Yes, my canon Shepard has no LI. He is all business.

- Ashley died on Virmire, because Kaidan was her superior officer.
- Liara in ME1 was insecure nerd, thanks but no thanks.
- Tali, no way I am coming anywhere near that chicken. Killed her off on purpose during the SM. (not always though)
- Jack is a psycho killer. No chance.
- Miranda is ok I guess, but my Shep resisted her.

In some other playthroughs I had Miranda as LI. And I edited a savegame and started NG+ using that save to see the Liara-maleShep romance in LoTSB.

My femShep has Liara as LI, because I found Kaidan, Jacob, Garrus and Thane impossible to romance lol.

That's about it.

I chose Ashley in my first ever playthrough and I've chosen her ever since. I couldn't see my Shepard with anyone else.


Ditto.  For me Ash just felt right.  She and my Shepard are both soldiers, both don't take any crap from anyone including each other.  They had a lot in common.  I felt like she's the only one that really challenged my Shepard and made him think.  And they're both mature, non-flowery, non-gushy people who show their affection more in action than words.  Just felt like they fit.

so true but I still liked Liara :devil:

My male Shep went with Ash, then after her attitude on Horizon, he moved on to Jack. He likes women with issues, as he has plenty himself (Colonist/Ruthless atoner).



My FemShep is all about Liara, and wants the retirement with a bunch of blue kids ("I'll watch you finish growing up while you watch me grow old.")

I went with Ashley, and though it does fit my Shep, I don't think that's why I chose her; I chose her since I find her the most personally attractive.

First and foremost, she's a strong women who doesn't take crap from anybody, and has her own opinions that she won't hesitate to express. She respects Shepard, but isn't a Shepard groupie like certain other LIs. This fits my Shep, who is primarily Renegade but I try to play more a hard-assed military officer who can make the tough decisions, but will do anything for his crew, rather than being just a full-out jackass. My Shep wants someone who can hold their own and doesn't really need him, but does want him. They're also both Soldiers (as in the class), so they can both relate to being ground-pounders without any of those fancy biotics or tech abilities others have.

I also like that Ashley doesn't have parental issues like most of the other LIs, and she seems to have strong family ties, something that again I (the player) find appealing. Since my Shep lost his family on Mindoir, I think he's drawn to the family dynamic that the Williamses have.

So, I do think Ashley ended up fitting my Shepard, but that's not why I picked her; I didn't have the interest in other love interests because I didn't find myself interested in their personalities or I saw them the relationship between them and Shep in a different way (Tali, for instance, had a definite "little sister " vibe to me, and I preferred Miranda and Shepard having a professional relationship).

LOL my Shepard is setup just the same but when need be, his ruthlessness surfaces to get the job done. He still hates Batarians with a passion though. No apologies there.

My first and second ME1 play through both ended with Liara (but this was a long time ago). In ME2 I dropped her big blue butt in favor of Tali.

Since the new trailer for ME3 dropped though I've popped ME1 back in (playing a Vanguard now after several Infiltrators). I think I may go Ashley this time as I don't find myself caring all that much for Liara. For some odd reason her breathy voice is really annoying me although it didn't the first time around. Maybe I'll just stay single and avoid any entanglements for ME3...

Never cared for Miranda or Jack all that much (nice to look at though). Tali is one of my favorites from ME1 and even more so in ME2 (just wish there was more dialog over all, not just for her but for Garrus and other characters).

Yes, I chose LIs based on Shepards and their character (with the restriction of all the LIs being human like Shepard, Asari would have been a useable candidate as they are capable of interspecies relationships (unlike the rest, according to ME1 which set the standard for the lore.), but Liara was never really tempting for a war-hardened veteran.)

When I thought it wouldn't fit the char, I simply ignored all the flirting (that was 60 percent of my characters, and one that didn't have a romance in the first game but only in the second), so yes, I think I did only pursue romances that truly fitted Shepard.

My main renegade FemShep went through ME gaining no relationship, she doesn't trust Asari so there was no way Liara was going to 'embrace eternity' with her more than she needed to and she considered Kaidan a sub-ordinate and at the time she was fairly military minded. Everything changed after the Normandy got destroyed, despite having got the human lead council into their position they treated her like dirt, most of her trusted allies had scattered, but then there he was, someone whom when they had first met she had initially not trusted due to her distrust of Aliens in general, but he was the one who came back to help. So naturally it felt right for her to let her guard down with Garrus as they both shared similar opinions on lots of things and she had grown to trust him more than many others.

I've never really gelled properly with my main Paragon MaleShep I chose Liara for him.

Jack (Avatar) was a default ME2 Shep and I decided to give him a whole pro-human stance and as Cerberus seemed to be the only ones taking the Reaper threat serious he figured seeing as they had allegedly helped make him the person he was up to that point (Sole Survivor) that he would join them. What started off as just a bit of mindless banter between him and Miranda turned into romance and the rest is history.

I am planning on doing a Shep that has no romances mainly because I'm basing him on Leeroy Jethro Gibbs and going to stick with the 'rules', one of which is 'never date co-workers' course, that might not stop him from having some fun with Gianna Parasini or Shiala :D

My main Shepard went with Ashley in ME1, but then switched to Jack in ME2. There is something about having that psycho-**** ***** on his side just appeals to me.

It's not. I think it was just a poor choice of words in an interview with Casey Hudson long before ME2 came out and it stuck. If there is no reaffirmation of the relationship from either side, in the VS or in Liara's case, there is no relationship. But with LotSB, you can still get back together with Liara if you chose someone from ME2 so I'm thinking that the 'cheating' will be on your ME2 love interest and not with your ME love interest.

Loyal to Ash in ME1 & ME2 (except for 1 time in 16 playthroughs)  she just seems perfect for my renegade Shepard.  They both have renegade and human-first  tendencies that mesh perfectly.  Ash just seems she has more to offer  then the other LI's

Liara was my Shepard' fall-back in ME1 I felt like a pedophile trying to romance her though.  But on my female Shepard she is all over Liara.Image IPB

Tali just irritates me to no end  I would never recruit her in ME1 & ME2 but I need that AR and tech upgradeImage IPB plus after watching the sex scene in the movie 'Splice' Tali's feet and legs creep me out now.Image IPB

Miranda seems like "sex only"  My Shepard felt empty talking to her and keeps thinking about Ash and the only reason I kept talking to Miranda was because of 'dat ass'

Jack-  Is the only other female I romance with  my male Shepard .  My Shepard took pity on her. I only romanced her once because I feel like I have to "fix" Jack and my Shepard isn't the patient type

I picked Liara, simply because my character was interested in her behaviour and interest in the mysteries of the Protheans (god do I love mysteries).

There's a bit of a recurring theme, here, don't you think?

You and Jack are perfect for one another, apparently.
