There isn't enough flirty males in Mass Effect. There seemes to be plenty of females (including asari, because they do after all look like females) flirting with Shepard, but rarely men. (Besides Harkin in ME1...urgh....).

Every god damn woman on IIium made it their work to flirt with Shepard

the 3 in ME3 stands for threesome.

The choices only matter the first time you pick them.  

If you pick the "I'd drop you.", she goes professional and you can't even get back to the question again.
If you pick "I'd catch you", you start friendly, then later pick "I'd embrace you", you are now on the flirty path.  A later pick of "I'd catch you" still keeps you on the flirty path.
If you pick "I'd embrace you", you start flirty, then later pick "I'd catch you", you are now on the friendly path.  A later pick of "I'd embrace you" still keeps you on the friendly path.

That explains a lot. I told her I'd catch her, but she asked me again later. To me, that came off as either a bug or her trying really hard to get in my pants. The one thing that bothers me is that while so much is left up to the imagination, we have no idea what ME3 will describe the relationship as! If we had dinner with Kelly, maybe we'll have Scale Itch later or maybe our love interest will get upset. These are things that we might worry about in dealing with her character. Someone who might genuinely want to get to know her better might not go down that path out of concern for their import.

For me, though it was a non-issue. If Kelly is being totally honest, I think she's a very nice gal who should use protection and see Mordin for antibiotic and antiviral (possibly also antifungal, antiarchae, antiprion, etc.) regimins. If she likes exploring... physiology, that doesn't make her in my mind any less of a cute, girl-next door character. HOWEVER, I thought she was a spy, or at least could have been. She was singled out by the Illusive Man for the job, she very early (and often) expresses wanting to get to know you with your guard (and more) down, she goes into your quarters on a regular basis, and I doubt she'd be against finding unique locations to stow listening devices and such. She does all this without really knowning much about Shepard, and there is no way to be sure she actually feels something for him. Maybe she really is interested in me, and she thinks she doesn't have to worry because since I'm such a great guy there's no way I'd betray her precious Cerberus, so she can both pursue a relationship with me as well as spy on me with a free conscience. But I don't like Cerberus that much, I like my privacy, and I'd rather keep my Shepard clean of certain types of diseases.

However, that is just how I treated her on my personal playthrough: a cute girl who is potentially a spy. I think she was a great addition, though! And not just her, the rest of the crew on the Normandy! I loved them all, and that is DEFINITELY part of the reason that I went through the Omega-4 early. Plus after playing video games for so long, I knew doing as many sidequests as possible early on is the safest way to play: if you don't know you're racing the clock, you probably aren't. So when the time cam to go through the Omega-4, I was ready. I really, really appreciate the extra work you guys put into these characters. And I also appreciate you telling us more about their creation.

Sleeping with your assistant just feels like an out-of-character moment for Shepard. A hero like him just doesn't screw around with random yeomen and act like nothing happened.

Hey, all she did was give the commander an old-fashioned. I needed her to feed my fish. Plus, if your ME 1 love interest catches a strange vibe between your Shep and the yeoman perhaps they'll redouble their efforts to bond again. Chick logic can be funny like that.

I get an inordinate amount of pleasure out of picking the "No" dialogue-wheel option when she says "Please, call me Kelly."



And I've never bought a fish.

Haha, me too. There were some fun dialogue options there! 

Bought one fish. It died. Never thought fish were worthwhile after that. Besides, kinda weird having animals watch you, ya know.. with someone. Even though they'd be too dumb to know what's going on.

it seems there are way too many reapers for just 3.

maybe if its just shep, harbinger, and kelly.

[Hanover Fist 1970]

I don't have much to add to the discussion but after reading Dusty's comments I feel compelled to thank the Bioware employee's who worked after hours to include this character and all she entailed.

You might want to replay that. Buying fish in ME2 will impact events in ME3.

They can have a catfight over who gets more of Shepard's body, Harbinger's definitely not going to be happy that something else is hurting his favorite human...

LOL, they'll probably be crucial to getting the krogan on your side...

[Sesshomaru47]

You don't have to flirt with her to get her to feed the stupid fish? Heh you learn something new everyday....neato.

They are intermediaries between Shepard and the whales that are crucial to Earth's defense.

Maybe I should let Conrad Verner join my crew.  His official duty & primary responsibility will be fish feeder so I don't have to flirt with Kelly to get my fish fed.

[Tony_Knightcrawler]

You know he'd just overfeed and kill them.

"I've gotta make sure that Shepard's fish are big and strong! After all, they belong to the first human Spectre! I'll show him he can count on me, and then maybe we can go on a mission together!"

...I have such mixed feelings when I hear the criticisms of Kelly not being flushed out as much as she should have been, or offense of her cabin dancing, or lack of a true romance scene. On one hand, it’s great that people care enough to want things different or to want more. On the other hand, she almost didn’t happen at all, so there’s more there than I had originally expected. I’ll let you in on a bit of ME2 development history...

I found Dusty Everyman's post very informative and interesting concerning the final additions to the game.  It makes me appreciate all of that extra effort was put in adding detail and further enhancements the game. It is those extra elements that really turned Mass Effect 2 into a remarkable experience. 
 
One of the elements that I most enjoyed was the inclusion of Kelly Chambers as part of the Normandy crew, with all of her wonderful dialog and possibility of pursuing her as a  romance option. 
 
I am still critical about the exclusion of a dinner scene (I don't think it required a linty of alternate dinner possibilities), but that does not belie my pleasure for her inclusion in the game. 
 
I hope the response she has received has helped justify her inclusion in Mass Effect 3.

[SilentK]

For me Kelly is a sweetheart and I must say that for me personally it was a great move to have these characters on the ship. I love the doctor and the two engineers. It just ads a feeling that these are people that you see every day, you might not take them on missions but they are important none the less. It really made it a place I wanted to protect so I guess your plan worked  

Edit: added how much I liked all of the extra ppl

I have never managed it, but maybe you can find the trick of it.

[SilentK]

On my second shepard I went straight to the end fight and got to keep Kelly =) wonder what that vision was. However, she's so sweet. Hope we get to see her in the next game, and the dr.

[CaptREDKangaroo]

I feel silly I still haven't gotten dinner option... do you have to begin flirting with her by a certain point? I only started after recruiting everyone, before collectors ship. Clearly I missed out on a lot of dialogue.

[008Zulu]

Have to flirt with her from the start and talk to her every time you recruit someone new, and when you complete the major missions (Horizon and the Collector ship), also have to use all 3 options under "Lets Chat" (I think).

I reckon Chambers is a mole plated by TIM, who's primary goal is to fully convert Shepard to Cerberus using her feminine wiles.

[Lapis Lazuli]

She's there to read your emails and then discuss them with Miranda and then if she determines that there is no security risk to cerberus, she tells her to let you know that you've received an email.

I'd rather have her as my main LI over all the others. Just a little more character development and she'd be perfect.

[Rip The Reaper]

she's just there to feed my fish
