I think people are too quick to hand wave Shepard joining Cerberus.  It is a very, very EVIL organization.  Kaidan and Ashley would have just as much information as Shepard about this, and perhaps even more in the last two years.  "Trust" is a two way street.  Shepard did not show trust in the Alliance when he/she did not attempt to rejoin them after being revived...and no, meeting Anderson and the Citadel Council doesn't count.  The Systems Alliance Military is a separate organization.

None of this even matters, though, because the game railroads the character down one specific path, and we're not allowed to deviate.  So why condemn Ashley and Kaidan for the same thing???  They are not allowed to let Shepard explain, just like Shepard is not allowed to explain.  I personally am willing to wait and see if the writers are going to do a better job in ME3, because I cared about the Virmire Survivor in the first game.  

Shepard is a spectre. Spectres do not answer to the Alliance. We're even told the Alliance tried to discredit Shepard after her death. I'm not sure I'd want to deal with their BS even if I had the chance.

I know we're basically forced down the path since the game doesn't give you the option to contact the Virmire survivor before or after Horizon. I don't want to give the impression that I hate the Virmire survivor because I don't. I just hate when people imply that Shepard is wrong to move on. Whether you move on or hope to rekindle the relationship - both are valid options in my book. That's all I'm saying.

Both of my lesbian FemSheps are staying loyal to Liara in ME3. It would be quite low to dump her after everything they have been through. Captain Kirkettes, they are not. ; )

I have five Shepards like that (  I still have to finish up ME2 with them but they will stay loyal to Liara throughout the series).

I'm not cheating in ME3...didn't in ME2.

...if it is appropriate for that particular character.
Roleplaying, people. Roleplaying is key.

..... I'm not writing this to mock those who, for some reason, care for Miranda or Ashley, but I'd really prefer to see a human female companion with a personality and even a bit of warmth. Why are they instead reduced to simple barbie dolls?

It's regretful how much they needlessly sexualized Miranda, but there's more to her than that.

Yes, when I started ME2 for the first time the beginning of the game made her an interesting choice... then it comes all that exasperated sexual exposure.....  

In some way I agree with Collider in that there's more to Miranda than sexuality. Her background is quite interesting and it's fairly easy to begin to understand her cold and shrewd personality... But it sort of ends there, the mystery and intrigue, to be replaced by awkward camera angles and semi-erotic poses that don't fit the mood of the discussion she's having with Shepard.

The loyalty mission, of course, rectified a lot of what I felt was wrong with Miranda's character, but I always felt there wasn't going to be a future for the couple, beyond the inevitable "action scene". 

Like any other character, there's a lot about her beyond the obvious fanservice she provides. It's why 1 year into ME2, we can still generate alot of interesting discussions in the Miranda thread. But likewise, you have to have that open mind to give things more thought and be willing to speculate some. The fact is...her future with shepard is so rifled with potential. We get hints that her father bred her and intend her to be used for some "dynasty" of his, then we get news of her infertility. We slowly see her becoming more human and emotional, and you have to wonder how that will impact her relationship with Shepard post-ME2. And regardless of if you break free from Cereberus at the end of ME2, Shepard's confrontation with TIM and Miranda's inevitable role is just screaming to be resolved. There are so many ways Miranda's character arc can develop in ME3.

That's what I had in mind. I'm not a hudge fan of Miranda, but she's got a really interesting background. Cerberus, her father, her sister and, after LotSB her possible infertility too. There's much to find out about her than a nice butt closed in a spandex-like outfit, and I sincerly hope that BW will remember that. In fact... that's why I rampage so much when I read topics abot the "no ME2 squadmates will return because they can die!" theory... there is so much to find out of all of them. My best wishes Mirifans 

Just... stay away from quarians' working places, miss Lawson. You're warned.

[Spartas Husky]

I find Miranda's way of dealing with her fertility a little bit too.... discouraging. UNless she just likes it for the hell of it in which case I am being judgemental... either way after reading the LotsB personal entries of her... my respect for her has decreased

[Alienmorph]

In general the LotSB dossiers left disappointed many people, but they were nice to put a stop to the too exagerated fans imoh. Miri was made sterile probably to left her at the same level of other LIs: many people pointed her or Ash Williams as the unique valid LIs 'cause Shep cannot have childs from alien girls. Same for others... the time that Tali spent around the nerv-stim upgrades for example was probably done to put a stop to the "delicate alien virgin" clichè too. Garrus mails with her sister tryied to make him a bit less like the classic crazy vigilante and so. Then there were also a pair of purely funny dossiers, like the Legion's chatlogs xD

But I guess this is a bit off-topic. So returning in... what should be your LI to left you enough angry/sad to find someone else to romance in ME3?

[thatguy212]

i don't plan to cheat in mass effect 3, if they have good new love interests i may however break up with miranda before i import

[Fiannawolf]

WTH is this??? Sorry but all my femshep so far are taken by ME1 squaddies. Dont see them cheating on Kai or Liara anytime soon. None of the ME2 peeps for romancing interested me enough to create a single shep for 1.

[aeetos21]

Its true I didn't plan on cheating on Ash in ME2 but given how events unfolded and just how much my Shep meshed with Miranda? In ME3 I'm sure we'll have more romance options but they won't be able to develop nearly as much as the ME1 and 2 ones will. There won't be a ME4.

So while people are on here saying: yeah but you know what? You'll get another LI option if your LI doesn't make an appearance in ME3. Umm no you really won't - best you'll get is a one nighter given all the whacked out crazyness going on. Afterwards maybe you and a ME3 LI can go the distance but we'll never know that.

Edit: And again my Miranda litho rolls her eyes at such a silly notion that my Shepard would cheat on her and she piques an eyebrow wondering just wtf am I still doing on this thread?

[Exile Isan]

I have three Shepard's.

Rhianna is Kaidan's girl only and as angry at him as she was after Horizon she wasn't going to cheat on him.

Sara is and always will be a Garrus girl.

And I created Nadia for the simple purpose of romancing Thane and only Thane.

No cheating for my Sheps.

[royceclemens]

I have a couple of single, unattached Shepards ready to roll, so I won't have this problem.



But if I absolutely had to, this mystery LI that will lead me astray must meet all of the following criteria. She must be...



A: Funny.

B: Smart.

C: Kasumi.



Failure to meet any of those means all my Shepards are staying faithful... Except for the cheating Shepard I made. That dude's a dog.

[SandTrout]

Paragon MaleShep was Ash/Tali because Ash obviously wanted nothing more to do with him, but Tali had stayed loyal through it all. If given the opportunity, though he will probably go back to Ashley in ME3.

Renegade Femshep was Liara/Garrus, but is staunchly human-interest centric. She's a bit twisted in the head from her experiences on Earth and Torfan. Given the opportunity, she'll find some new alien to fool around with, then proceed to establish human dominance of their species.

[Collider]

I don't think I'll have any cheating Shepards.

[StarcloudSWG]

There's a motivational in the motivational thread that's titled;
Miranda: Someone else's idea of perfect.

That's pretty accurate to me.

Generally, the Shepards I play are either not in a relationship, or in a relationship with Liara when it comes to Mass Effect, and with Mass Effect 2, only the single Shepards from the previous game even consider starting a relationship.

[Selenora]

Never. Kaidan is the only one for me.

[Daewan]

Dirtbag mShep who led Ashley on then dumped her for Liara before bedding every woman on the Normandy 2 will continue his quest to spread ShepLovin' all over the galaxy.

Faithful femShep will continue holding out for Kaidan.

Not so faithful femShep2 will consider going back to Kaidan if Garrus isn't in ME3, unless she can convince them to move into her harem.

Faithful femShep3 will continue her quest to rule the galaxy with Liara at her side.

If there are any new and compelling LIs in ME3 (Helloo, Big Ben!) then I'll make a new Shep for that instead of cheating.

[mineralica]

...this Shepard had a 2 or more LIs in the series (mine cheater is same as first Daewan's char).

Because no matter that made player change a LI (s/he was cold on Horizon, I found a better alternative, I did it for lulz, I was originally interested in another char who wasn't a LI), this happened, and may happen again. Only one LI per character can quarantee that Shepard will stay faithful, no matter ME1 or ME2 LI.

[NanQuan]

Depends on the Shepard. My paragon female and renegon male will not cheat. My renegade female will likely end up with no one (I can't see her living at the end of ME3), though it could change depending on what ME3 holds. My canon shep... well she's definitely up in the air at this point. While she didn't "cheat" on Kaidan, that doesn't mean she will forgive him later either. We'll see how that is handled either in a DLC or ME3. She could end up with him, alone, or with someone else for all I know.

[Tasker]

The one and only thing that would even tempt me away from Liara would be Bioware making it possible for a FemShep Talimance.

They should beef up the existing romances and complete them in ME3, rather than introduce more

Agreed.

This.  I would much rather see in ME3 the option of watching a real, mature relationship that is actually established rather than the buildup to some lame-o sex scene.  Should there be new romance options?  Sure, but at this point Bioware has created so many great characters that really should be getting more development when it comes to relationships (and friendships) rather than shoving new people I simply won't give a crap about when ME3 comes out.

I'm hoping desperately that my Shep and Ash get a chance to reconcile in some dlc or at the beginning of ME3 (but only if it takes place just after ME2).  If they don't, or too much time has passed I'm not sure they'll reconcile, in which case I'm thinking my Shep probably won't even pursue something with anyone else.  I figure why bother at that point.

[JamieCOTC]

femShep F/F w/ Liara forever.

[Sticky Controller]

Once you go turian, you don't go back!
I would never cheat on Garrus. No matter what other hot alien with a sexy voice they have made for Me3. Never even romanced Thane because of Garrus. All three of my playthroughs belong to Garrus. Just couldn't help it.

This might sound wrong, but Legion would have been very tempting. Maybe even Grunt, but mostly just that awesome Geth.

[Shadow_Soul]

No way. My main Shep is Garrus' girl, now and forever. She waited all ME1 for him. My other Shep, nope. She'll stay single or go with Thane. There is no other way for her.

[jwalker]

No, my femShep won't cheat on Liara.
