- 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.

That's about it.

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

You and Jack are perfect for one another, apparently.

But opposites attract.  If only Chakwas were a love interest.

In terms of on board romances, I see Chakwas dating Gardner. In terms of outrageous LI's for Shep, I support same-sex Chakwas LI and Legion LI for ME3!

Jacob with Kasumi for sure. Also, speaking of ridiculous romances, there shouldve been one with Grunt, one with Wrex, one with Mordin, and finally one with Joker. Just for the hell of it.

My Shepard has an inherent need to protect those around him. This instinct was instilled in him after being the only survivor of both his hime colony and Akuze. So he tends to get drawn towards the more vulnerable of his crew.



Ash and Tali were both No-Goes.Shep and Ash rarely agreed and Tali was more like a little sister to him.



Liara in the first game fit with him perfectly. So fragile, so naive; the scarred war vet and the timid scientist. It was love at first sight.



Though two years later something changed. The loss of Shepard (pre-LOTSB) had left her cold and dark. Shepard felt a barrier between them that he couldn't break. he didn't agree with her methods or her changes so he left for, what I thought, was for good.



That left Jack and Miranda. At first I felt a connection to Miranda. Despite her seeming perfectness, Shepard had found a kink in her armor, and was ready to hold her in her moment of weakness. So things were good. Still regretted leaving Liara.



Jack, was the same thing, only more so. I think she was one of my favorites. A really deep character and excellent sub-plot.



Then ShadowBroker came out. Feelings Shepard had frozen and thought would never thaw again, melted into a flood. He had his blue godess back. Fighting side by side and reclaiming the tenderness she originally had I knew this was the one to stick with.

MaleShep (4 games):
One major point, in fact *the* major point that made me choose Miranda as my LI in almost all of my maleShep games is that she is on Shepard's level, at least as much as a story centered on one character is likely to allow. Since then Liara has earned a similar distinction through LotSB, but no other LI, male or female, qualifies. My impression is best summed up thusly:

Shepard with Miranda or Liara is my personal ideal of a couple whose parts complement each other to become more than the sum of them. Shepard alone is badass enough. Imagine Miranda or Liara at his side - holy sh*t, the opposition better move aside fast.

.

In the end I prefer Miranda for several reasons, among them that I prefer human LIs and that I appreciate the transhumanism angle in her backstory. Tali and Jack were never serious contenders.

FemShep (4 games):
For femShep, Liara is unfortunately the only realistic choice for a complementing LI, only that f/f romances don't work so well for me and she's not human. Kaidan still has potential, but must get some character development to get to Shepard's level. In the end, the femShep I feel most aligned to currently is the one who stayed single through both games.

I thought my fem shep staying faithful to Liara was uncharacteristically noble actually. But nevermind that.

[Flamewielder]

Playing a male paragon war hero spacer, I took an immediate liking to Ash: good looks, yeah, but also gumption and straightforward attitude. As the story progressed and the convos followed she just became the obvious choice, so yeah, she's the right LI for my "canon" Shep.

Liara just felt too "alien", in the sense that her life experiences felt too different from a human soldier's perspective. Elite N7 Marine War Hero Leader of Men + Bookish Archeologist Hermit? Nahhh... it'll never work.

The encounter on Horizon, while obviously designed to make it easier for players to "cheat" on their original LI, was not so bad for my canon Shep: I was just angry I couldn't take the high road and join Ash (rather than have Ash join me)!

My Earthborn Sole-Survivor paragade femShep DID prefer Liara, because circumstances made her a loner among the military and both had no one else beyond each other. Their respective loneliness is what brought them together, so that choice felt like a natural one as well.

The only LI that felt "forced" was my Ruthless Colonist renegon femShep with Kaidan. Kaidan is too paragonish not to clash with a ruthless Shep. That one actually made the Horizon encounter feel right!

[atheelogos]

Yeah I picked Liara cuz she told me up front that she was interested. Not like Ashley who beat around the bush.

[LPain]

I romanced Kaidan in my first playthrough - I kind of just ended up to that romance. Well. I can honestly say I did not wait for him after the Horizon encounter because I did not like him in the beginning either. Went for Garrus, as a thought he is a cute option being kind of friends for life material, wherein lies the problem. I did not find him to be anything else than friend really.

On the second playthrough I found Liara the most attractive in ME1 but her Lair personality put me off so I let her go and went for Thane. And now I really have no alternative anymore. Personality, attitude and value wise he is a perfect match (I can never go for full renegade- always getting Paragon endings). I do not even consider now to go for anyone else - despite the fact that mr leatherman may possibly die in the future. The way my Shepards live I don't really see them knitting socks to grandchildren either...

In conclusion: I'm a s*it roleplayer - my real life personality affects too much in my decision making.

Forgive my inner fanboy for questioning your decision but...how is Garrus NOT complimentary to FemShep?  Besides the fact he's not human.

After a whole year here I guess this thread was bound to be made, so I'll be the poor sucker to bite...

I get the feeling that most people jumped on tali just for the chance to see her (do I really have to say it?).

Most of these gamers felt nothing more then curiosity, not really a connection with her character. I personally chose Miri in ME2 because she really shares a lot in common with my character. they both believe in human progress and are workaholics, very dedicated, serious (although my Shepard has been trying to outjoke Joker since ME1).

Other people went with Thane (really? WTH!?) and jacob (the price.... is not worth it). For me people that stayed with Liara deserve a prize. They really stuck it out with all the alien ass and genetically enhanced boobs thrown at them throught a 30 hour game.

Im curious at women (and some men) who chose Garrus as they're LI. *I expect a response from these*

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

I jump at Tali because she was really my type, and she is the first character among other squadmates that show that she cares about Sheperd. How can I let her down?

Robert Shepard

Earthborn / Sole Survivor / Infiltrator / Paragade

Basically my Shepard does the wrong things for the right reasons. He tries to do the right thing but sometimes that just isn't good enough. He and Liara managed to bond over the events in Mass Effect. The honesty of her voice and her innocence appealed to him.

However after his resurrection in Mass Effect 2 he came to see a mirror image of himself in her. She became somewhat ruthless as he would often do and he did not like. He managed to eventually break down her walls in Lair of the Shadow Broker to once again reveal the true Liara.

The question he asks himself is that when it comes to fighting the Reapers would he sacrifice himself for her? The answer always a resounding yes. But what follows is an all to hard question, would he sacrifice humanity for his true love?

[Darknesshade13]

I chose Liara in ME1 because of her innocence. Then in ME2 everyone matured, and Shepherd needed someone who was mature like him. Meeting Liara again brought back memories but she has changed as a person. Although LotSB showed more of Liara, Shepherd thought that Liara wasn't the same. Then he met Jack. Even though she is rough on the outside, after finding more about her, Shepherd realized that she needed something to hold on to.

[LadyLuminary]

The reason why I chose Liara for my FemShep was because canonically she's a lesbian. That and Liara is a perfect match for her. They were naturally drawn to one another when they first met, and after so many missions together it felt that they might have known each other for a lifetime.

Melissa wouldn't cheat on Liara. Not because there were any gay romances in ME2, but because she could never find another someone who was as special as Liara.
