One day people will learn the difference between default and canon.

Today is apparently not that day.

No smartass the artwork. Play the game also. A if Mass Effect were a movie you know that the male lead would end up with the Ashley and Miranda  not some bald buld creature like Lara.

I don't know that, and it's not a movie so....irrelevant. So is promotional/cover artwork BTW (unless of course you'd like to assume "canon" ME1 MShep looks only vaguely like the "canon" ME2 MShep).  All that matters is what Bioware does with the story, and they are careful to avoid establishing things like this. The only choice they've stepped on thus far is the Anderson/Udina one, and even then it remains to be seen whether or not they're going to outright ignore it.  They won't even specify Shep's sex in the comics and novels, much less who Shep had sex with.  I mean, if Ash truly were ME1 canon, why is she automatically not assumed to have been the LI for a default ME2 MShep?  Why is she so de-emphasized in the male version of the PS3 Genesis comic?

Lara would be a very poor choice for an LI.A bald blue whatever. Ashley and Miranda are the cannon of Mass Effect 1-2.

And this is based on what?  Because you said so?

  



Play both games and you will understand . The only LI in ME 2 that feeels natural for male shepard is Miranda simple as that . In 1 it was ashaley . Liara is LI but that is nothing more than fan service 

That's a subjective opinion, not a universal fact.

As if I haven't already played them. Makes sense to you =/= only thing that makes sense.  That's called "personal preference".

@ ExtremeOne: feelt this way too. But after a little cooldown (Horizon) and Ash´s mail i feelt staying faithful to her and hoping for a re-reunion is also natural. Because Ash is my MShep´s LI, and not his xxxI

And saying that Liara is an cannon LI is not an universal fact.

Saying that anyone is a canon LI is incorrect.  Not unless Bioware actually states otherwise.

Canon is what you mean OP.

Cannon? You meant to say "canon" LI, right? Anyway, no, that's not a universal fact either, which I didn't say it was in any way. What I'm saying is that there is no canon LI, as it is for the player to decide who they choose to romance throughout the trilogy. His preference is clearly Miranda, and romancing her feels natural to him, that's all well and fine but it is his opinion not a general fact.

And BW will never state that.

[hawat333]

Here you have the cannon LI.
Reliable, sturdy, and never lets you down, even if a bit slow sometimes. But when fired up, well, amazingly passionate!

But anyways, there's no such thing as canon with the ME trilogy, all other media carefully avoids these questions for this very reason.
So in a pure What If? situation, let's see who would be:
The alien romances are out of the question because they are lore-incosistent with ME1 and because the Romance in an adventure story is always there since the beginning. That leaves Ash, Kaidan or Liara. Considering the LI should be one of the most developed characters along with the main character, it leaves Ash or Kaidan. As the commercial face is male, we are pretty safe to say if there would be a canon story, Shepard would be male.

Therefore it would be Ashley Williams.

But again, there's no canon here.

edit: Aww, Ryzaki beat me.

You can only have personal canon Shepard, but there is no canon Shepard that Bioware set up.

[lovgreno]

No official canon and there never will be. I have several different canon Shepards with different LIs.

[Centauri2002]

Yep, I think we're in agreement - there is no canon love interest. The importance of a character within the story doesn't relate to how likely they are to be with Shepard anyway. Liara's quite capable of being pivotal to the plot without having to be attached to your character.

[Jane Shepard]

Every player has his/her own canon LI. There is no official one.

[Buddy_CRO]

I always think Liara as a "special" romance considering everything she has done through whole ME story. But she isn't mine canon romance. The first romanced I've made was with Ashley and I consider that romance as my "canon". But Bioware hasn't set something like that officially.

GAR HARHRAHAR FIRE THE WIFE OUT OF "THE CANNON!

Well given all of your stats, has to be someone new as all of them gan die and some of the other things on your list.

[smecky-kitteh]

I would say liara or miranda. liara is the only LI who can't die and miranda is the hardest person to get killed in the suicide mission and both are pretty hawt.

I personally prefer liara.

[lolwut666]

There ain't no such thang.

Also, an argument could be made for Ashley, because she shows up on ME1's cover and there is a ME3 screenshot of she and Shepard holding hands.

Fan made. Anyone can do it, not as stylishly of course

[lolwut666]

I thought it was official.

My bad.

[Antivenger]

Link plox?!?

[Chuvvy]

In my mind Liara is the canon LI in ME1. Miranda is the Canon in ME2, for maleshep anyway. Not sure about femshep.

[1Minsc1]

Looks like all opportunities are canon
