Basically, if you go with anyone besides VS, Tali, Garrus or Liara, you're boned. (er figuratively.) Though, Traynor and Steve do have good parts to play. Most anyone else from 2 is meh, Miranda needed more, hell they all did.

[Stalker]

From the quality, there is no denying it is Liara.

However, I enjoy the short time with Miranda way more than the thousands of talks with Liara.

[Chromatix]

Uggh, in ME3 they all are so... boring. Except, perhaps, Garrus and Liara. But there is too much Liara overall.

Let me tell you, there was no closure. BW decided Thane dooesn't even count as a real romance so how can you seriously say he got the "best treatment of ME2 romances'? My mind boggles.

The only love interest worse off than Thane is Jacob and not by much.

As for best, I'd say it's probably Liara.

Check the number. It's pretty much bottom feeder.
The ME2!romances are disappointing in any possible way. However, out of the bunch of badly sidelined romances, Thane's is the best. Which doesn't mean a lot in that case. Crap smells, regardless if it's royal crap or bum crap

Too emo in ME2. I have to disagree. I like her in ME3, but hated her in ME2. Coming to the Commander's Quarters crying with mascara running down her face? No thanks. Total turn off.

lol, Liara crying is a "total turn off". Haha. What, were you expecting it to give you a giant boner or something? 

No Jack comes crying to Shepard's quarters in ME2 seemingly for no reason. She's just too much work. Liara cries on occasion, but always with some kind of reason. Plus Liara never has mascara running down her face when she does it.
It's a minor thing. Fairly weak justification I'll admit but the fact is that Jack is just too crazy and her crying just before having sex with Shepard before the suicide mission just doesn't do it for me.

I no longer hated Jack by the end of the game, but I wouldn't progress towards sleeping with her.

Too much Liara? This makes no sense to me.

I'd rather have a shot at Shiala or Gianni Parasini. The Quarians just don't do it for me.

Liara, even though I don't personally like it. Jack would be second for me.

Well Jack romance in ME2 felt like the only one the player had to actually put work into. You had to get her to trust you. If you look at every other romance, the character has fallen at Shepard's feet. They're in awe of him; they see him as an attractive icon from the start.

Example: Liara, in ME1 once she has melded her mind with his she is instently attracted to him. Another example: Miranda, right after the player is done helping her sister she begins to like him just because of the deed he did. 

Now we come to Jack. After her mission on pragia she still attempts to push Shepard away. Even offering what she thinks he want (sex) just so he can leave her be. Jack to me is the only character who doesn't give a crap that Shepard is the savior of the galaxy, she could careless, and I like that. She has real baggage, and sort of represents a real woman. She's not the most beautiful, she not the most feminine, but she becomes real with Shepard if he take the time to get to know her. You get what you see basically.

And as for the sex scene. You can't acually think they had sex. I mean come on. There was no indication of sex. they kiss and then cuddle. It wasn't like Miranda, Tali, or even Liara scene in ME2 where there was a strong indication that they had sex with Shepard. But in Jack romance scene there was not even a hint they had sex.

I loved Jack and ME2 and 3. loved the character, loved her backstory. But in the end it's just my opinion and preference

Most developed (note: resources used) is Liara, of course.

Best love interest for me...Thane all the way.

Jacob wants the prize.

I go with with Liara since she's been there since ME1 and the relationship has had the most time to develop.

I disagree entirely. Tali and Garrus have been there since ME1, even if they weren't romanceable at first. Liara disappears in ME2, and you get only one mission with her (I'm not bashing LotSB, I ****ing love that mission), and then she's suddenly back in ME3.

Liara seems to have the most development, but honestly, I think it's more Bioware forcing it down your throat more than anything. No one got the same amount of attention as Liara's romance because Bioware apparently sees her as the 'canon" romance option.

I'm not hating on Liara or her as a L.I., I'm just saying that it's not entirely accurate to say Liara has true development when other characters were with Shepard as long as her or longer.

We're going to have to disagree there because as someone who actually did his romance I certainly do not agree with you. I love Thane and I love his ME2 romance but what BW did to him in ME3 was horrible: inconsistent characterization, what little reference to the romance there was felt tacked on, he doesn't count for the achievement, there is only one possible conversation with him before his death, he dies fairly early on and no one acknowledges his death after, Shepard cannot even talk to him about their feelings for eachother- no I love you. Ugh.

Even Miranda's optional death scene gets an "I love you" and final kiss. When Thane dies Shepard just stands there like a stone whether you romanced him or not. FemShep romances got absolutely trashed. What was done to Thane and Jacob makes me furious. Not that what happened to Jack and Miranda is much better but they are still viable options according to the game unlike their male counterparts.

[Hadeedak]

I'll say it was Garrus. Pacing was spot on. Adorable. Great lines. Great scenes. Lovely in general.

[Shajar]

Tali, easily most touching moments. Sex scenes were badly done, 7 sec only WTF while Liara gets 10 min nude strip show 

Ashley romance was boring and dull imo. Felt like more one night thing and friend sex time
Miranda romance felt like pity sex in ME2

Garrus is the best video game boyfriend ever. But I'm biased, I've been carrying a torch for him ever since he put a bullet between that thug's eyes in ME1.

And i say: thanks to ME3, the ME2 romances are not enjoyable anymore, like the trilogy is no longer enjoyable thanks to the endings. It's like that.

Why should ppl romance Jacob in ME2 anymore? He's going to move on, regardless of what you do. Boot in the groin - BAM.

Why should ppl romance Miranda in ME2 anymore? She has a very brief appearance in ME3. Her role is reduced to "my sister, my dad" - and that's it. You even can kill her (indirectly) if you break up with her in ME3 while you can save her if not romanced at all.

Why should ppl romance Jack in ME2 anymore? She had the best development out of the bunch, but her romance is reduced to 12 lines of dialogue or something. Sidelined post-Grissom-Academy. Meh.

And Thane? You get the good scenes in ME3, regardless if you romanced him or not. There's no reward for a romance here, he's going to die. You can't save him, can't buy him another year or two to live. Sure, you knew from the very beginning of his romance he's going to die. But the fact you can't change anything and don't get rewarded by more intimate scenes is ... meh.


That's why. I'm talking about the entire romance arc here - although it was done really great in ME2, there is no reward in ME3, the closure is done in such a way you can't really enjoy that romance anymore.

Happens to me for Ashley's romance as well, just for the record.
The only romance arc that's fulfilling in all three parts of the series is Liara's, since it starts in ME1, gets an own DLC in ME2 and the best story arc in ME3. Garrus' romance has also a great closure in ME3, comes with a nice start in ME2.

That's why. My ranking is heavily influenced by the closures and content in ME3.

Nice last statement - it's true.

I'm not a fan of Liara's romance but she definitely has the best one. My own fave romance simply lacks content in the second half of the game. Closure? Fine, awesome scene. Romance itself? Well done, ME1 did a great job here. Must say, Ashley's romance is not too special, but her character gives a great boost for me. However, that boost is missing in the second half of ME3, that's why it's not my top romance in this ranking, that's why her romance is only mediocre at best. The third part of the trilogy feels like a let down for her character, period. Only ME2!romances got treated worse.

[webhead921]

Miranda has the best breasts, so her.

This exactly. I've played through almost all the romances, and this is what I feel like each one is catered to:

• Liara - People who are into the intelligent and shy type would probably like Liara, at least in ME1. Her character changes quite a bit in ME2, but she retains a little bit of that shy quality in ME3. What I personally liked most about her is that she's just a little bit mysterious, and even by the end of the romance you're kind of left wondering what she's thinking about after the goodbye scene.

• Kaidan - He's troubled by his past, but he's also the sweet and sensitive type. It almost feels like he's trying to figure out where he fits in the big picture, which makes him easy to relate to.
  
• Miranda - She appeals to those with a taste for an independent, strong woman who stands up for what she thinks is right. She's a very realistic, down-to-earth woman, and it doesn't hurt that she's quite gorgeous as well =)
  
• Jack - She's fascinating in that she doesn't throw herself at Shepard like a lot of LIs do, but instead tries to resist as much as she can until she finally lets Shep in. She's attractive because she's a challenge.
  
• Tali - She's adorable, shy, and more girly than the other mShep love interests. She's also got a bit of a crush on Shep, which is endearing. She's pretty much the "girl-next-door" type.
  
• Jacob - He has a sense of morality and honour, and is kinda fun, just very... normal. I think there was genuine potential in his romance because he admits to having feelings for Shepard and honestly, he's not that bad. After all, he is Bioware's version of a Chippendale =P.
  
• Thane - He attracts the ladies who love the tall, dark, and handsome type, with a nice dash of mysterious mixed in there. Bioware still managed to make him sexy despite the fact that he's deeply religious, was formerly married, and has a teenage son, which I applaud them for. Too bad they didn't do him the same justice in ME3 ='(.
  
• Garrus - He appeals to those who like the idea of having a good friendship before a romance. He's reliable, funny, and completely loyal to Shep, with an adorkable romance in ME2. The friendship factor gives a lot of equality and mutual respect in their relationship, which is evident in their scenes in ME3.

Don't know much about the other romances, other than the fact that Kelly is only useful for feeding fish and Allers for war assets =P.

Anyway, TLDR; Every character has qualities that appeal to different people so there is no overall best LI =3
