They said there would be consequences in ME3 if you cheated on VS or Liara. I mean obviously they wouldn't want to be with you again if you're with someone else. I can see that. But is it possible we'd lose our ME2 romance as well? If you romanced Liara in the first game and then romanced Jack in the 2nd game, do you think Jack would leave you as well?

I'm guessing there will be a conflict you have to resolve with either charm or intimdate, and if you fail you lose both. Succeed and you get the one you side with, but not the other.

[FrozenShadow]

Who knows. But it would be realistic and definitely fits to consequences category.

I suppose Shepard will lose ME1 LI regardless and should persuade ME2 LI. Canon losing ME2 LI is unlikely because many people didn't knew it will possible to have a new relationship in ME2 and picked from given options, then just didn't want to replay ME1 when ME2 came out.

[naledgeborn]

Yeah I've thought of that. In my canon Shepard officailly broke it off with Liara during LotSB because they grew apart, she was obsessed with the Shadow Broker, and she handed over his body over to Cerberus (the dead should stay dead). Hopefully this will work in his favor when ME3 rolls around since he'd like to continue his relationship with Miranda. If things don't work out he'll have to roll with the punches.

I'm not sure why you would lose your ME2 LI. For all accounts, the relationship is over. All of the LIs (minus Thane) either knew about the relationship from ME1, or could be on Horizon and witness the encounter. Unless Shepard tries to initiate a threesome or says something equally as stupid, or cheats with Liara again in LOTSB, then I don't see why your ME2 LI would leave you.

If Shepard admits they still have feelings for the first LI? Then yes, a charm/intimidate moment could pop up. Otherwise, you'll probably lose the ME1 LI unless you pick them, and keep the ME2 LI without a problem.

I'll hope you get a choice of keep ME1 Love interest, keep ME2 Love interest, Have an ME3some.

i wonder what will be in 3 part if i romance with someone on Normandy, than again with Liara in SB... can i have 2 of them in 3 part? i love them all :DD

[Raiil]

I believe you'll just have to choose between the two. Generic 'but what about me?' scene, mildly tailored to the characters, choose one and lose the other. Possibly with a 'wait, I was wrong' option some time afterwards.

I say give it broader ramifications. Have cheating on his/her close ones brought up in such a way that it puts shepards leadership abilities in question (don't tell me that would be unrealistic, look at politics today). Thus damaging the war effort.

[Davie McG]

Just had a wild thought when I saw the thread title, thought you were asking if your me1 LI would murder the me2 one.

I pondered the possibility of 'so you screw anyone under your command' as a remark if you're a total dick to one or the other.

I doubt it will be that bad, but it could make things tense. I, personally, am looking forward to the lulz it will bring. Romantic melodrama = popcorn.gif

No. Because you are not in a relationship with your ME LI anymore. The only case I can see this occurring is if you reaffirm your relationship with Liara at the end of LotSB and you romanced someone in ME2. Your ME2 LI leaving you for this reason makes sense. Otherwise, you are not in a relationship.

Honestly, I believe this supposed consequence is pure hyper. The dynamic presented is simply not compounding enough to warrant some overblown melodrama, where one character screams in disbelief demanding to know how Shepard could do this. It has been two years, regardless of Shepard's perspective. Kaidan/Ashley make it abundantly clear on Horizon the relationship is over. For them to whine now would be asinine. No, an apology email does not count.

My assumption is the scene will play out with slightly better development than when you attempted to court a threesome in Mass Effect. Shepard will ultimately have to choose and there you have it. Perhaps at absolute worse, the relationship with the VS is done, with no chance for recovery. I mean consider ME2 with Liara. She accepted things have changed and moved on. There was nothing to cheating on her beyond a single snide remark. I would not expect much more than that.

[BlueMagitek]

You really weren't in a relationship at the beginning of ME 2. I don't think the consequence would (or should) be more than being unable to restart the romance with your original LI if you've moved on.

There is no cheating. Any person who seriously thinks they are in a continued reliationship with a corpse for 2 years needs serious psychiatric help.

That's..... a disturbingly good point  ... makes one really think about what's going on in the mind of the Virmire survivor.... hmmm.

Ok now I need a shower. 

[DoNotIngest]

Deffinately makes sense that you could continue your relationship with one of them, considering you died, they moved along, and you persued a viable relationship before probable suicide.

Agreed.

Shep was dead for two years and even marriage vows state, "Till death do us part." His relationship with the ME1 LI ceased the moment he was spaced and ran out of oxygen. All of the potential ME1 LIs also give Shep the cold shoulder to varying degrees when he runs into them in ME2. They make it clear that they aren't interested in picking up where you left off, at that point in time.

Shepard then going on from that to romance once of his ME2 squadmates is hardly cheating. You have to be in a relationship to cheat, and Shep was clearly single in ME2. (or least he is prior to LotSB)

That being said people are often overly emotional, irrational creatures. Your old flame feeling jealous is not necessarily unrealistic, even though Shep was single at the time. I just have issues with it being called 'cheating' officially, when it clearly was not.

[InHarmsWay]

I believe one of the devs said that if you had a love interest in ME1 and cheated on them, then this leads to a love triangle romance storyline in ME3, where you do have to choose. Now this can be avoid if you eased things out with Liara in LotSB and became friends instead of getting together.

Or that seeing them alive magically means they are in one.

Same here. They say it's one thing but what is conveyed in the story says it's something else.

Liara kisses Shepard as soon as you get to her office on Illium doesn't she?Not exactly what I call giving the cold shoulder...

(I'm pretty sure I remember her kissing my Shep in front of Tali, who was his current LI)

Perhaps 'cold shoulder' was not the right term to use with Liara. She's a little friendlier in her reunion with Shepard than the Virmire Survivor But she follows that kiss with a "No, that was a mistake" head shake. She's got other priorities and it isn't willing at that time to pick up where you left off.

Whether Shep romanced Liara or the Virmire Survivor in ME1, he's single in ME2.
