and here is another perfectly good reason to nuke ashley on virmire.

[Rip The Reaper]

I romanced Ash as well in ME1. And on Horizon I felt a bit betrayed, of course it's not cheating if you move on, it shouldn't be. But in ME3 I expect something to happen as far as in conversion, maybe even the opportunity to lever your ME2 LI and get back with your ME1 LI.....but i have moved on..

[ArcticMan94]

Explain that to Ash's boomstick.

[ThePwener]

It's cheating if you kissed Liara in Illium and then shagged Miri.... like I did. I bet Im gonna get my ear chewed out.

[LilyasAvalon]

I romanced Kaidan in ME1, I was happy and content and then seeing him again in ME2, they hugged and I was like 'Yay! He still loves her!'...

...Then he called her a traitor and pretty much told her to GTFO. I was upset, but after his email and talking to Kelly, it seemed clear he was already in the process of moving on from Shepard, why should Shepard be the one left holding on if Kaidan was a jerk and started flirting around again (Granted, he had a good reason, it had been two years)?

Either way, the way the devs had described it, it sounds like there will be love triangle drama, with BOTH LI's fighting for your attention. If that is true, I look forward to Garrus kicking Kaidan's ass. @_@

Easy way out. I call it cheating.

There's bound to be a domestic after two years of being 'dead'. It doesn't give you reason to ditch the VS.

You could always use the excuse "We were on a break"

Lol. Moving on IS cheating, that's what it is. In real life you don't move on if you are in a relationship. You only move on when you mutually discuss and end the relationship.

this is untrue in so many many ways.  it is completely possible to fall out of love with someone.  and though it sucks, its not cheating. it may hurt.  but there you have it. 
especially when one's partner is not available emotionally or physically. makes things difficult. it is very possible to move on while ni a relationship.

My main point is that you first have to tell your partner that it's over. That's what makes difference between cheating and getting a new relationship. FIRST you brake up THEN you get a new partner. And if you get another partner while you didn't brake up officially and have discused everything with your previous partner then it's cheating.

 True and thats definitely going to be a dialog option in the third game.

Or you kissed Liara on Illium, then shagged Miri then shagged Liara after LoTSB. Meaning cheating on Miranda with Liara  knowing.

Or Kissed Liara, shagged her after LoTSB and then shagged Miri. Thus meaning cheating on Liara with Miri knowing. (Though Liara is the shadow broker at that time I doubt she dosent know about you as she can spy on the normandy and get all vids there.)

Dude, Shepard was DEAD.

Even holy matrimony is "till death do us apart"

That isn't exactly an applicable rule here since you can't talk to your LI while dead or doing super-secret work. Then there's the conversation on Horizon. I don't recall what Kaidan said, but Ashley says "I thought we had something", plainly indicating that she takes that to be a thing of the past. Also the connection between losing trust in Shepard because of his "treason" and losing trust in Shepard as a person is pretty clear.

I don't know how others feel about that scene, but I felt free to move on. And I would hate it if "cheating" were brought up in ME3 for that. Being hurt emotionally, yes, loyalty conflicts, yes, but not cheating.

it's different if you go back to your ME1 LI after having romanced someone else in ME2. That *is* cheating, and I don't mind an appropriate reaction. Not that that ever happens in my games. My Shepards know what they want, but they must first meet a prospective LI to know.

I think she says it because she's hurt, not because she's neccessarily moved on.

[frostajulie]

regardless I am looking forward to the scene becuause it does add depth I do hope there are options to tell them to get stuffed or apologize and I hope the get stuffed one is very brutal. I will of course do a playthru where a femshep is loyal just like I will doi a celebate femsheo so I can eventually romance Ashley. But I reallyt want to get back at the VS for calling me a traitor.

 I dislike how romancing someone else in ME2 is called cheating if you had a romance in ME1. For me, I romanced Ashley in ME1 and then moved on to Miranda in ME2. Apparently, that's cheating, somehow. As kelly said, break ups are hard, and as far as I'm concerned, Me and Ashley broke up on Horizon. So if I broke up with her, and then went on to Romance Miranda or Tali, how is it cheating, it's more like moving on with your life if anything. And apparently there's going to be "heavy" reaper-cussions (that's only way I spell it) for moving on. I hardly think that's fair. The only consequence that's acceptable is Ash or your previous LI to not be loyal to you or not very trustful, no story related consequences. 

Thank you for this thread... now i wont feel guilty when it come to putting kaidan into his place, because to me he should of moved on 2 years after shepard was dead lol... but yeah feel more comfortable moving into me3 lol...

[heretica]

reaper-cussions! i'm going to steal that...

[Tommy6860]

Well, my PC must not have been a very compelling person. I cheated on everyone, and none were bothered by it O_o.

[AngryFrozenWater]

That's odd, KamikazeShepard. As far as I remember we were warned about cheating when ME2 came out. It doesn't fit your name either. You thought "Banzai" and complain when that has consequences.

I doubt the repercussions will be anything significant. Bad scenario: Shepard gets "dumped" by her ME1 love interest but has no reason to care since she already fell for someone else. Worst case scenario: Shepard is rejected by both love interests and finishes the trilogy by her lonesome.

Alternatively, there may be a whole new love interest available in ME3. Shepard cheats on both previous partners with said character and flies off into the sunset. Stay classy.

I'm sorry, but you're nuts.  If death is "the easy way out" then... look I can't even follow the logic of any argument that presumes the relationship is still ongoing.  It's based on nothing but sentiment and inferrence of a shared desire to resume a discontined - by death - relationship.  A relationship that only lasted a couple months to begin with.  Shepard has been dead much longer than he/she and the Virmire Survivor even knew each other.

It's not the reason it's just fact that the you're no longer together because one of you was dead.  

I've said nothing about whether or not it is reasonable to want to rekindle the relationship - that's perfectly fine, and indeed, I think a natural thing for Shepard to want to do (it hasnt been two years for them, they just woke up) - only to say that their relationship is active in Mass Effect 2, which it would have to be for your relations with ME2 LIs to constitute cheating, makes no sense.
