You know my opinion...

I just for once want to see Shep loose it... go on an angry rant about the fact that he/she is a human too...

I believe that this is the perfect moment to do it... and an appropriate one. If Shep says something passive and diplomatic (if you are a Paragon) or passive and douchy (Renegade)... I am going to effing scream.... and throw my Xbox 360 out the window.

Not everyone's as angry about it as you. Just saying.

Personally, I never had a cheating save(seeing as I only have one main Shep and one other Shep I use to mess around that doesn't really have a LI). However, I have thought about how I would handle a situation if I ever decide to have such a save in the future. Obviously, someone's going to have to be dumped at some point in ME3. I don't think the threesome comment is going to be taken better in ME3 than it was back in ME1. I guess if I liked the characters equally I'd have to decide which my Shepard would care for more. If that fails, he might decide to dump them both, citing that maybe he isn't the best monogamous relationship material if he's juggling two LI's at once.

I'll probably make my brother do it though.

The only romance scenario where I don't keep monogamy is where I cheat on Ashley with Miranda as a plot device. Otherwise, she either dies on Virmire and I take Tali in ME2, or she just continues on into the second game.

Oh, you too?

Cuz HotWings is crushing on both Ash and Tali.

Bringing Kelly to your cabin does not trigger the picture of your LI to go down.  Kelly is nothing but a pyeudo romance.  Same with Samara.

there's is a clear distinction though between getting her to have dinner as a friend and getting her to dance for you.  I know that LI picture doesn't go down, but developers have been making some noises about the game actualy having that flagged.  whether they will actualy implement it and if yes, how it will go down?  we shall see.  but just in case, I friend Kelly rather then romance her, on playthroughs where i don't want any extra romantic complications.  she still feeds the fish, so its all good.

I'd say treat it like the 4-way possibility in DA:O. Make a hardened Miri (if she's your current LI), bring along Kelly, like she's an Isabela type and then start a fruitful conversation. Oh, if you're into it deep, then have Jacob be like Zev, and all's well .

I thought Kelly was your favorite?

It had the most natural buildup.  And the flirting was cute.  Just never seemed serious.

I mean, flirting, dinner, and feeding my fish isn't really cheating on Liara, right?

that depends on whether you aks Kelly to come up to your cabin after collectors are dead. and whether you reconsile with Liara. in shadow broker

Bringing Kelly to your cabin does not trigger the picture of your LI to go down.  Kelly is nothing but a pyeudo romance.  Same with Samara.

I don't think Kelly and especially Samara were pseudo-romances. Kelly appealed to Shep and there was a little romance before getting physical. I only wish they had expanded Kelly as a true possible LI in ME2, or at least added a 'meal in her cabin" conversation, since she was most accessible to Shep on the Normandy. I absolutely love Kelly, though Liara is my LI and that has never changed; LotSB solidified that even more so. But I found that the lack of a deep convo, though being able to have a relationship with Kelly, was a bummer. Samara was most definitely a romance, and her character was well written, in that her ascetic lifestyle and unflinching adherence to the Jsuticar code, stopping the roamnce right before that near kiss and any possibility of consummating the relationship; that was teasingly awesome. IMO, that was one of the msot romantic feelings I got in ME2, since Shep had some of the deepest convos with Samara leading up to that point.

[Omega4RelayResident]

I dont know if a Polygamous Shep would gain any love from the already conservative and angry gamehater community.

If thats what you want to do AdmiralCheez then I support it fully... but if this is what you want to do cut me some slack on my animosity toward the VS LI.

My only 'cheater' already got to resolve that issue, and it went pretty well. Liara was obviously deeply hurt, but she was accepting, and her behavior while pursuing Vasir helped cement Varick's conviction that this was no longer the woman she'd fallen for and moving on was the right choice, as much as it pained them both. Thane I can only assume would be equally accepting; it's not like she ever actually got to bring it up in game, but my headcanon is that part of why they bonded in the first place was that Varick felt she'd lost Liara in much the same way Thane lost Irikah, and she ended things quite definitively with Liara on the SB base before committing to anything with Thane, so he's got no reason to feel hurt to begin with.

I'm sorely tempted to roll up a Kaidan->Jacob->Kaidan femShep for SCIENCE, though. Of the male love interests, that seems the combination most likely to elicit ugliness from at least one party. >.>

Oh boy that is brawl in the making.

I hope that Kelly can be romanced without comment by Ashley since she's not a squadmate.

That way I can imagine they happily settle into it.

I'm a pig, what can I say?

[Collider]

Honestly, the only consequence I imagine is a catfight/smackdown.

[mineralica]

I created Liara ME1-casual sex with Jack - "dinner" with Kelly - ME2 Tali - LotSB Liara playthrough just to see the consequences for cheating. For situations when I want to romance someone new I have "single" ME1 saves (although not romancing my favourite char was hard).

For "love equally" situation I'd advise the same thing my boyfriend (guy with usual username Neanhim) advises when in hard situation with almost equal solutions: flip a coin. How many times I was ready to kill him for this advice is another question.

So.  I cheated on Ashley with Miranda.  According to Bioware, there will be consequences, as there should be--I can't imagine either Ash or Miri being too pleased about not being the only woman in my (okay, Shepard's) life.  They're too mature for a catfight, but I know they're not going to like each other, and I know it's my fault for falling prey to Hypno-Ass (it calls to me!).

But here's the thing: I care about Ash just as much as I care about Miri.  From a roleplaying perspective, Shep's still in love with both, and from a player's perspective, I'm really attached to both of them and want the best for both.  Even if they're just video game characters, I really don't want to hurt either one.  Damn this game!

Anyway, I know I'm going to have to choose.  But I can't.  Even though, originally, I didn't like either of them and just did the romance for gits and shiggles, I have really come to care for those women.

Argh, it's like Virmire, but one of them is probably going to kill me.

This topic has been discussed ad nausem already, but I know I'm not alone here.  How many of you are in the same boat?  How do you think Bioware is going to handle the issue, and when it comes down to it, how are you going to handle it when you've got no choice but to break somebody's heart?

Yeah, I know I can mod or just do another playthrough, but that's too easy.

... Aaannnd I also sort of want to see what happens.

um, this may or may not have happened to me(it's exactly the same thing).
however I'd like to see the outcome of that discussion with both of them, cause it'll probably like you have to choose Ashley/Kaidon or Liara in ME1, but I'll just do 2 playthroughs and see what happens.

"Catfight?"  Ashley and Liara confronted Shepard not to claw at each other, but to get him to stop fooling around.  Miranda, meanwhile, tried to avoid a physical fight with Jack and only acted defensively.

Besides, by ME3, everyone's done a whole helluva lot of maturing.

[SilentK]

Hmmm.... what if the consequences isn't fighting or arguing but something more along the lines of Virmire take 2. Some situation in which you have to choose who lives? Have no idea how such a situation would come about storywise but I just remembered how devastated I was the first time I played ME, without any prior knowledge of the game and had to choose between Ash and Kaidan. It broke my heart.

Okay, not a literal physical fight, but one could easily see them having a more heated Ashley-Liara pt. 2.

Besides, not entirely convinced that Miranda couldn't have talked down Jack and had NOTHING to do with that conflict. It's possible, but I doubt it.

It probably would have come to blows since Jack doesn't back off, but that's less catfight and more hull breach on deck three.

I'm just not a fan of the term "catfight."  It implies petty screaching and scratching over sexual jealousy.  Unless Thane and Kaidan duke it out in a similar fashion, totally sexist.

[Nashiktal]

You were dead for two years, Ashley had a semi falling out with you on virmire, and she apparently changes quite a bit to ME3.

I'd say stay with Miranda, at least until you get a better picture of things. Miranda is probably more "stable" at this point.

[Ravensword]

Between Miranda an Ashley, that's a crap shoot. They each have their issues. You just have to find the one that you like the best w/ the least amount of issues. Although, when in the face of imminent doom people would agree to some "less than usual" things before they go off and fight. I think if Shepard were to suggest a threesome Ashley might be into it this time around. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Shepard's been dead two years. You might find you're not the only the man in Ashley's life.

I don't think trolling the person your organisation has tortured counts as trying to avoid a physical fight.
