because Ilos was supposed to mean something.


I expect Ash/Kaidan to be professional. If they can't do their jobs when the galaxy is at stake then they shouldn't be in positions of any authority. There is a lot more at stake here than two people having intercourse.

Rather a leap to expect them to be professional when they slept with their commanding officer in the first place, I think.

Okay, you've got me there. I expect them to be mature about it then. Two years passed and when we met they refused to join my side. I don't blame them for it, but I've moved on. I've had even less time to do it too. They should be long over it by now.

I don't have time to deal with drama.

Kaiden hasn't been exactly faithful to femshep. He says in his post-horizon e-mail that he's been seeing some doctor but "nothing serious".

I don't believe romancing Ashley/Kaidan in ME1 and then moving onto someone else after Horizon is necessarily cheating. But I expect Bioware to consider it so.

If Shepard cheats on Liara again, or cheats on the ME2 LI, Shepard should definitely take some fire from that from the LIs.

 haha reapercussions.

i think it should depend. liara.. is more hardcore now kinda.. but she's still a pushover. i think if you cheated on ashley with jack/miranda it will get messy. if you cheat on ash with tali, i think tali would be heartbroken and break up with you and maybe ash would think you have alien germs and hate you. and if you cheat on kaiden with garrus or thane, kaiden will be pissy but it won't be that big of a deal. but if you cheat with jacob watch out. jacob will punch kaiden and  throw babies out of airlocks. 

i will stick with tali. i've tried romancing miranda but tali is just the best. ashley is a douche and liara is just unattractive in so many ways. i'd try romancing kasumi if it were possible though.

Judging from how they handled the choosing of a new love interest in ME2 when you romanced Liara in ME, I expect the result to be roughly the same. You might see more of a negative reaction from Ashley than Kaidan.

You might see something from your ME2 love interest if you decide to reaffirm your relationship with Liara since you are still considered in a relationship with that squadmate. Definitely from Tali or Jack.

Well, it seemed as if the whole Horizon scene was Bioware's way of encouraging you to get with someone new.

depends on how you look at it..which makes me wonder if the reprecussion is going to be former lover meeting current lover comparing notes and both dumping you resulting in loss of dialogue among other things.

the way I see it - Kaidan/Ash have a lot more leeway when it comes to moving on with someone else.  its been over 2 years.  they thought their lover was dead.  drinks at the citadel is a very mild thing if you think about it, heck its not even a relationship, just a date (or several)

Shepard though...it hasn't been 2 years for Shepard.  and while techincaly Shep moving on is not cheating, it certainly shows a great lack of comitment power, that the relationship didn't mean the same thing to them as it did to Kai/Ash.  so essentialy you lied to them multiple times, used their atraction to get your way without feeling the same way in return.  I'd like for it to be agknowledged in some way and have consequences.   Loss of dialogue options, a character that's now much more likely to die  at the culmination of the game (disloyal), etc - things of that nature.

As for Liara..Bioware made her aquire some guts, I wish they push on with it and make her see cheating Shepard for what he or she is.  lack of acess to shadow broker's ship would work for me  (you still get assistance with overal mission, but no more perks like being able to respec your squad or investement opportunities for jooo)

I really don't think both of them will dump you, unless you manage to cheat on them both. Which... all right, that I could accept happening. But only switching once doesn't seem to be enough justification.

Also, Shepard could well have broken up with them for being extremely hurt over Horizon. It doesn't necessarily mean that Shepard didn't care.

very true :)  so it would be nice if you had an option for the conversation with both your LI's, possibly something like the confrontation you get in ME1 if you romance more then one character at the time (except with more dialogue).  and if you play it wrong, they both dump you.  and if you play it right - you retain both their loyalty and whatever LI you pick.  Still lose non mission critical conversation options though with the person you dump.

This is how I hope it plays out. I just hope the requirement of playing it right isn't a certain paragon/renegade score.

I think she'd be more likely to shoot you down below:whistle: rather than kill you.

Hopefully it plays out differently considering who you've romanced. For example, Ash and Tali have history plus Ash isn't a fan of aliens: how about Ash shoots Tali in the head in a fit of rage before turning the gun on herself?

...

...okay probably not, but something actually happening because of what you did would be nice for a change. Like Jack should send your ME 1 LI out an airlock or something, idk. Most likely you'll just get a stand off and have to pick one though.

Meh. I doubt Ashley would kill you for mancing an alien. She's more of the ''slighly subconscious racist'' than the ''human supremacist''. I would hope there is at least some kind of confrontation, I would be especially interested in case you 'manced someone in ME1 and then 'manced either Garrus or Tali in ME2. Would make for some interesting ''Et tu Tali/Garrus?'' moments.

I wouldn't expect too many problems if you stick with the ME2 romance. More if you go back to ME1 romance. If you get yourself a third romance in ME3, hilarity should ensue.

I just can't see it as cheating to get another love interest in ME2.  Even if Shepard was dead for the two years they'd at least be thinking that their partner might have moved on and that things would be different and the Horizon scene doesn't exactly help suggest that they're still in a relationship.  It's not like you had a big relationship either, you were basically together for a few months and then you died.

Still, that doesn't mean that people wouldn't be upset since there's nothing stopping them from being irrational.  Having a scene where it's all sorted out could make sense and it'd be good if the scenes were different depending on who is involved.  It'll definately be interesting to see how it's handled, I hope it's done in a kind of objective manner without forcing a particular idea of what was right or wrong on you.

It's possible that your ME1 LI will abandon your ME2 LI at a critical point.

For instance lets say Tali is dangling from a ledge and under enemy fire and the only person in a position to help pull her up is Liara. However, in a moment of madness, Liara does nothing leaving Tali to get wounded.

Now by some miracle Tali manages to pull herself up off the ledge and out of danger but she knows Liara did nothing which leads to some very interesting cut scenes back on the Normandy.

Thing is how would your Shep react to this?

Realistically speaking, it shouldn't be too different from what happened with Liara in LOTSB. That is to say, no worries necessary.


Well technically, by getting back with Liara, you ended up cheating again, this time on the ME2 LI. :P

Would there be any repercussions from pairing up with Kelly? Does Liara in LOTSB even mention anything about it?


I'm not sure if ME2 even considered Kelly a romance, even though I think they should have.


Kelly was a fling... those don't count. Like in real life...

Amirite?

That part of me that resides in beds of flowers while petting ponies and serenading beautiful women with my Harp of the God's thinks it will have the DEEPEST, MOST AMAZING, REPERCUSSIONS EVAR!

The part of me that cynically resides the dank, darkness of my soul while poking elders in the eyes with sharp objects and fingers covered in hotsauce thinks that there will be no noticeable difference.

Which will win?

I'm hoping for the second one of those two to win.

Well, in case they both die... You know, a huge biotic fight between Liara and Jack might not end well.

I don't know the repurcussions, but I "really" hope we aren't pigeon-holed into not choosing a potential LI that we passed on previously.

In my first playthrough (which I consider to be the "true" playthrough for purposes of continuation), I romanced Liara in ME1, because she basically threw herself at me.

In ME2, I had a quick fling with Jack for the same reasons.  I did think I had a shot with Tali (dead), but passed on it because I was hoping for a romance with Kelly (but she died, because I wanted to go back and say goodbye to Liara pre-suicide mission).  I was also going after Miranda because she basically threw herself at me too...but then I sided with Jack in the argument (Miranda was being unsensitive), so I lost out on that chance.  Ironically, because of our fight, Miranda died holding the line. 

HOWEVER, despite my so-called "romance" with Liara, I (and my character, and I thought Liara) viewed it as a one-time experience with another species.  Experimentation, if you will.  Jack is still alive, but that too was clearly a one-time deal.  My Shepard (and, yes, me too) actually is madly in love with Ashley.  Why didn't I romance her in ME1?  Because I didn't know I could!  Kaiden I think did ask me one time if I liked Ashley, but I said no because I thought it would block me from pursuing Liara with no upside.  I didn't realize Ashley was an actual option!

Yes, I could go back and replay from the beginning to romance Ashley...but I kind of like the story so far.  I really wanted Ashley (and apparently Ashley wanted me too), but I was too dim to realize it.  Then we went on our seperate ways due to a misunderstanding, where I tried to find other women to fill the void (most of whom died).  In ME3, the ONLY thing I really want is a reunion with Ashley, and the ability for her to be my final choice for romantic interest, at the very end of the story.  I'll accept either a happily ever after ending OR one/both of us dying...but for us to continue as just friends/co-workers will be a serious let down!
