Sure, why the hell not?

My "Manizer" femshep would love a double dip from Kaidan and Jacob that's for sure...

The problem with the mass effect romances are that no matter race,sex or species all participants rigidily adhere to a 20th century romance novel approach to courtship. You can practically hump every creature on the ship, but you must declare your undying love first. Its boring and silly.

Hopefully, if Bioware ever gets to a point where satisfying every conceivable configuration of in-game relationships becomes a major focus of the design, another company will have arrived on the RPG scene whose focus is back on quality story and gameplay. I can see it now, "Well, I finally got my lovely domme to profess her undying love for me, but now I'm starting quests with x to bring them on as our submissive."

Right now I couldn't think of one character who would like that although I could think of a few who (without completely retconning the characters) wouldn't like it but would grudgingly accept it (and just thinking of that getting implemented in the game makes me uncomfortable)

so my answer would be no unless it's solely with new characters

Yes, it would be welcomed, but as people already have pointed out, it seems reasonable that all LI would be interested in such an arrangement. However it would be nice if some of these LIs could be persuaded to reconsider their position.

I actually play on a good friends computer (definitely going to buy ME3 to my new hi-end computer and import my save) and my "canon" Shepard started a very loving relationship with Liara in ME, then when he returned in M2 (small spolier warning follows) Liaras estranged attitude made it clear that they had no real chance of a future together as long as she was so fixated with the SB. So, my Shepard gravitated closer to Tali, and I guess he fell for her (especially during her loyalty mission).

However, then, after I finished the main mission, the Lair of the shadowbroker DLC came out and things got complicated. The dormant feelings between Liara and Shepard was rekindled.

And now its pretty impossible to know what to do, choosing one over the other seems like self mutilation (cut of the right or left arm?) So if I am allowed to dream of a cute and happy love story in mass effect for my character, it would involve them both.

Polyamory means having more than one LI at a time w/ the full knowledge of everyone involved in the relationship?

I support this - not for my canon!Shepard, but for at least one playthrough. My fav constellation will be either Ashley and Miranda or Ashley and Tali.

No, this isn't some adolescent masturbatory fant...oh wait.

I Imagine Ash would need a lot of new experiences to accept such an arragement. She is probably one of the most monocentric LIs. And if you are also talking about a 3-some in the bedroom.. I think this might be pretty much almost impossible since Ash comes across as not only very straight, but she is also not than into aliens.

[CptData]

I must say I'm nearly 30.
And I must say although I don't support "open relationships" and "polygamy", I do so in games in the future - maybe there they're accepted standards like monogamy. As long as any involved persons are okay with that, why not?

Yes, that's the one thing that ME was missing out on to truly compete with Japanese dating sims: a harem ending...

You mean, you dont support "open relationships" and "polygamy" as in you dont want to practice it yourself or as in "you do not want others to practice it unless its in in a game and in the future"? I guess the former correct? lol. sorry just teasing.

By the way,  the thiscussion was not so much about polygamy as it was about polyamory, but thats ok and they can intermingle if the conditions are alowing.

No, we are not talking about harem endings. That is just as silly and vulgar interpreation of what is stated. I know it is common caricature that is easy to fall for, so you are excused.

[Stardusk78]

Funny, all women=no

All men=yes

More or less

Nope. I just think such relationships are not supported in our western society and I don't think I should actively support it. However, I'm fine with that. And if all involved persons are fine with "sharing your partners", why not. As long as it makes them happy?
Basically, I'm fine. I won't go for that kind of relationship and expect my fiancee don't want to go for it either, but can understand those who like such relationships.

I have a tendency to use "polygamy" the same way like "polyarmory", sorry for that.

[Xilizhra]

Technically, they're the same thing; the more correct word for what we often call "polygamy" is "polygyny."

Anyway, yes, though I think only one makes sense.

[Ravensword]

Polygamy and polygyny have to do w/ marriage.

Oh, right. That's a better clarification.

It was also meant as a joke.

I have nothing against polyamory if all parties involved are okay with it. I don't think it fits any of the characters in ME, though (except maybe Kelly  ).

I am not quite sure I follow. You dont think that such relationships are supported in our western society  but you are fine with it as a personal choice (meaning what?  Its ok unless the people involved makes it public? )

[RamirezWolfen]

As long as it fits character, I have no issue with it.

Liara indicated that she was fine with it in ME. But Ash and Kaidan was clearly not interested in such an arrangement (at least not back then). In ME2 people are pretty monogamy oriented to, but such things can actually change (As I imagine most people who are polyamorous once were pursuing and identified with the ideal of monogamy due to it being the default and only option provided by cultural conditioning)

I say bring it on. But not for the obvious reasons. The problems that could spawn from it will only make for more story depth. More problems, more consequences, more decisions, I'm up for just about anything that makes for more gameplay and thereby a longer experience.

Dunno if it's accepted in ANY western society. At least I don't know many actively supporting it. Homosexual relationships have a better standing already - they're accepted in a lot of western nations including my own. I don't go after one but I support those guys - I mean, it's not that I get harmed by them or something. Live and let live. Same for polygamy and such. The only reason why it's a taboo is more or less a religious one. Don't wanna get in that, but the same reasons that prevented societies to accept homosexual relationships works against polygamy as well.
