ME1: Ashley, M2: Miranda, ME3: Liara. lol.

[Jhushx]

I chose all of them, like the true PIMP that we all know Shepard is. Why settle? Ladies, ladies, there's enough Shepard for everyone.  Literally:

Earthborn - War Hero Adept Shepard:  Liara

They are both adept biotics.  Liara teaches Shepard better control of his singularity and other biotic moves, since this Shepard started training his rather late, only after he enlisted.  Shepard in turn helps Liara improve her aim with her weapons, and they end up hooking up during one of their many training sessions, as was only natural.   Shepard had reach,but Liara had flexibility.  And those freaky f**king hypno-eyes. 

Colonist - Sole Survivor Vanguard Shepard:  Miranda

Upon seeing a fully regenerated Shepard prematurely wake up, Miranda was hit with the Florence Nightingale Effect, falling in love with her patient.  Shepard in turn, thought Miranda was an angel (also since she wears white clothing), coming to rescue him from his own purgatory.  The close quarters of the Normandy, their Commanding Officer - Executive Officer working relationship, and the stress of fighting the Collectors leads to their hook up.  Shepard comes home and his half-Prothie/cybernetic swimmers unsterilizes Miranda.

Spacer - Ruthless Engineer Shepard:  Tali

Tali is a mechanical and aeronautical engineering wizard, who knows the Normandy inside out.  Engineer Shepard is also very good at engineering....big booms.  While very knowledgable about ships and technical programs due to both parents serving in the Alliance and him growing up on Arcturus Station, Shepard is a master of "engineering improvised solutions in heavy combat zones."  What does this mean?  Explosives, and lots and lots of pyrotechnics.  You need to make an emergency exit to exfil out of a building?  Call Shepard.  You want a space station obliterated?  Call Shepard.  But do you need to extract a geth processing core by hacking a downed dreadnaught?  Call Tali.  The two complete each other.

Colonist - War Hero Sentinel Shepard:  Jack

Jack, biotic beast that she is, would only date a fellow biotic, especially the subject that she teaches.  Give her half a second, she'll splatter your guts all over the walls.  Shepard, while not the strongest biotic when it comes to offense, has more shielding and buffers than anyone Jack has ever sparred with.  The unstoppable Sword and the exploding Shield, united at last.  Jack, a colony baby originally of Eden Prime, has her life come full circle with a gothic wedding to Shepard on Mindoir, and they set up house on Elysium, as Shepard is royalty there with an honorary private villa near the Shepard Memorial Plaza.  Jack can commute to Grissom Academy.  Welcome to suburbia.

Spacer - Sole Survivor Infiltrator Shepard:  Ashley

They bonded over Kaidan's death, and how both of them are the last surviving members of their original unit.  Again, the CO-XO relationship starts their romance, especially as Ashley is taken under Shepard's wing as an Alliance officer and second human Spectre (and the first human woman to hold the position).  Ashley fixes the enemy, Shepard flanks and goes for the kill shot.  Both boast about who is the better marksman, until Garrus V puts both of them in their places.

Earthborn - Ruthless Soldier Shepard:  Sha'ira / Ashley / Kelly Chambers / Diane Allers / Kelly Chambers pt 2 /  Liara.

As a professional soldier, Shepard doesn't have time to settle down.  He is always on the move, and his reputation as a lover preceeds him everywhere he goes.  Blue, Redhead, Pudge face - doesn't matter, Shepard will lay with them all.

Tali but i couldn't care less about romances

Which is why you just said Tali.

I personally don't like Miranda's romance.  Not enough content (though Citadel made up for this).  I just can't see her as a person.  Everyone else?  No problem.  Though I never really liked Kelly...

There's also the whole "mind-meld on Earth" which is basically space date rape.

Aaaaaaaaand here is where you go full retard. Not many rapists ask, "Do you want me to do this?" and give you an opportunity to back out. There's also the fact that there's nothing sexual about it - if you want to think there is, you can, but you can't use that as an objective argument.

Given that asari mind melding is described by the codex as a sexual act and how they reproduce, and Shepard (and the player), may not understand what it is? You're not using your brain, just mindlessly praising Liara. 

But if you just want to worship Liara, fine. For someone who talks about objective arguments, you do little more than try to bash me.

I actually don't have too much of a problem with Liara actually giving his body to Cerberus once she has it, but the sheer fact that she did that, c'mon, look at it objectively, and not through Liara-tinted glasses. Chasing a corpse, even an important person's corpse, across the galaxy is not what normal people do.

Without her being creepy your Shepard would have become the mind of the human reaper, or atleast something similarly horrible. I guess some Shepards are just ungrateful. Oh and let me tell you its not creepy at all. If one of my nearest friends met an untimely death and someone asked me to retrieve his body so that he can be brought back to life, hell yes I'd do that, every single time.

And if someone asked you to retrieve the body of someone who knew you for a short period of time (as in picked you up right before Ilos), couldn't stand you and was very obvious about it before their death?

Given that they've melded several times before for non-sexual reasons, (unless you want to cry rape there as well) and that Liara tells you pretty clearly what she's doing, both Shepard and the player should have a clue. And again, if you're so opposed to an alien showing their appreciation in an alien way, just say no.

For someone whose big issue was the "forcing" you sure complain a lot about something that is in no way forced.

There's nothing mindless about my praise. I'm aware of issues in her character. Her cabin scenes could've/should've featured the player's LI instead, or EDI if that's not applicable. She shouldn't have become the Shadow Broker.

I'm defending from the over-the-top accusation that she raped your Shepard for chrissakes, not preaching that her farts smell like freshly cut grass.

Objectively, she did not rape you. End of story.

Then maybe no so much. Point is, its not ceepy for everyone across the table as the person is trying to convince us. Either way, she still ended up saving Shep. Would you concentrate on her being creepy or that because of her creepiness you're drawing breath? had she been "normal and noncreepy" you wouldn't be alive.

[KaiserShep]

Rape is overused so often that I wonder if people fully grasp the concept of the word. Shepard's ability to reject the mind meld on earth totally negates it. I don't see what the problem is. Unless Liara sidelines Shepard with some line like "Thanks for the meta-sperm, sucker" or Shepard gets a raging orgasm mid-meld, there's no indication that anything sexual occurred. Codex aside, it's established early on in the trilogy that the mind conjoining abilities of this species is multi-functional, since it's used to relay information just as much as it's used for more personal encounters.

The two mosts realistic romances in the game tbh. Not to mention they're both gorgeous.

(snip Kaidan and Miranda pics)

I agree. Kaidan and Miranda are the best most realistic romances my MShep ever had. I totally don't mind playing a bi Shep just to romance these two in a full playthough.

What does this even mean?

[KaiserShep]

Can't see her as a person? Man, those butt shots really ruined some people.

[MassivelyEffective0730]

Miranda is the only romance for me.

I only play one Shepard:

John Shepard (Sheploo model) - Earthborn, Sole Survivor, Soldier. Neutral personality (he's an INTJ type personality along with Miranda), despises the alliance and the Council, and respects and admires Cerberus and TIM. He's a destroyer, though I'm writing my own ending for him and Miranda. She will eventually cure her infertility, and they will have one child together, a daughter who inherets her mother's beauty, intelligence, and wit (as well as her stubbornes) and her father's will, determination, and charisma.

Botmods are watching me now probably. Banned me for posting two perfectly relevant images in this thread simply for not having text.

Well only because I play a female and I can't romance Miranda I went with Liara.

The way she is constantly forced on us is quite honestly the part that grates about the romance. There's also the whole "mind-meld on Earth" which is basically space date rape.  

Whoa boy, there goes that R word again. I really wish people on the BSN would quit misusing the word rape.

First, Shepard has the option to refuse Liara's gift on Earth.

Second, its explained both in the codex and in Liara's dialogue that while the Asari mind-melds can be romantic or sexual, they aren't always so. The mind meld with Shiala in ME1 wasn't sexual. With a Shepard who isn't Liara's LI, the final mind-meld with Liara is nothing more than how it was described, an Asari way to say farewell to close friends or family.

Since that mind mild is neither sexual or forced, how is it rape?

[KaiserShep]

It's called rape to add spice to a slant against a fictional character , which has been the case in the past regarding mention of the mind meld. I guess Shepard can always get out of child support for the blue babies to come by jumping into the beam, or grabbing the control rods.

It's because of her creepiness that I find her more repulsive now than I did in ME1. It's because of Cerberus (who would have found some other means of retrieving Shepard's body should the need arise because Bioware needed Shepard to be the PC of ME2/3 and by no means needed Liara specifically for corpse fetching) that Shepard is alive.

[KaiserShep]

Shepard being killed off needlessly is the core problem. It created a lot of circumstances in the game that may rub some people the wrong way, especially if you did not romance Liara. If Shepard was still alive, but in a coma, then it would be a different matter altogether, since it would be more like a rescue mission than fighting over a corpse, but then that would undermine the Cerberus tie-in, since a still-living Shepard would never be handed to Cerberus. Without this, the Shadow Broker plot would never exist, but this raises a lot more questions that I guess I shouldn't bother with.

This argument doesn't hold. It's just hindsight bias.

That's like being okay with (and befriending) a pedophile because they saved your kids.

[KaiserShep]

lol...is pedophile really the right comparison here? Maybe if necrophelia was the intended goal. For one, Liara, at the time she meets Feron, doesn't know that Shepard is actually dead until he tells her, and from there the situation escalates. I dunno about you, but it doesn't strike me as particularly creepy to try to find a friend whose fate you have yet to determine.

Liara didn't want Shepard to die so she could f*** him.
