I've recently just began my sixth partial playthrough and I was curious to how many you guys have done and why.


Personaly I'm just testing the waters with certain characters in my story. I've already done playthroughs before to ME2 and the countless ME1 saves, but I lost them on my xbox, so I don't count them. Those did help me form Shepard's personality into the way I play him now.




After those personality test saves, I began basically a LI testing save which has taken up most of my saves for the time being. I've tried Liara, Ashley, Tali, and Miranda. I quit Liara on ME2, Ashley at the start of ME3, Tali on ME3 (Had to get to that part first), and Miranada on ME2.

My fifth playthrough, which was actually my first, was a non LI Shepard. The sixth, which I'm doing now, is a Jack save.



I personaly like my no LI Shepard the most by far because I find the romances a bit cheesy and that's just not for me. Plus, it makes my Shepard a bit more awesome when the answer to why he does what he does is "I'm just looking for one hell of a time!". Doesn't have any cause, because it's just cause. If Bioware didn't force Shepard to be an Alliance dog, he would be a space cowboy, or whatever term would best fit. Probably would keep the Spectre title to get away with things though too, but take the term "Spectre" a bit more seriously and not go around parading he was one. Though that's just how I play Shepard's personality and so far the LI route just doesn't fit it.


It could change if Jack doesn't turn out too cheesy for me.




I also plan on doing a non persuasive Shepard with the same personality as above. Also want to try a femshep playthrough just to see how it is, just maybe with some personality tweaks.





So, how many have you done and why? Plan on doing more like me?

Partial? Tons. I rarely bother going all the way to Cronos. And London just sucks. Horizon, Party Down, start again.

That depends what you mean. I had to restart my femshep playthrough 5 mins in more than a few times because there was some hideous structural face deformity I accidentally birthed into this innocent world but couldn't see until a cutscene where she turned her head to the right angle.

Yeah, I've restarted too much. Trilogy wise, I mean. I'm mostly happy now with a Soldier ME1 Renegade I can import. I get to change classes if I wish, and don't romance anyone until ME2. As much attention they give to the ME1 romances in ME3, I just don't like how they play out -- even if you break up with them.

Personally I like the Liara in ME1 Tali in ME2 route. It's very poignant for Liara, who risked it all to find your body and revive you, then went to the sidelines to get revenge on the person who tried to sell you to the Collectors, only for that damn quarian teenager to swoop in! Plus that face when you tell her in ME3 it'd never work out between you("Really...?")

Can you tell I'm a fan of Joss Whedon romances?

I wanted to do a similar thing with Jack, but now just stick with what I said above. I like Jack better when I'm loner Shep in ME1. Tali and Jack fit the same niche though, since they're both the ME2 squadmates who encourage you to resent Cerberus. Which also entails some resentment towards Liara for handing your body to them in the first place. With Miranda it's much different.

Indeed! Which is why I strive to be a constant disappointment to the Normandy by cheating, double-cheating and triple-cheating every chance I get.

Ouch. Just finished my Liaramance in ME1. This one is gonna stay loyal but I can't do the bouncing from one LI each game.

or maybe it's because I don't wanna romance Tali, Don't wanna cheat on Miranda and kill off Jack.
