Okay, a friend of mine is in a situation she doesn't want.

She's been playing Mass Effect 1 recently, but decided to hold off all romance options till Mass Effect 2. She has her character as she wants, she has her build as she wants, but of all things she doesn't want her Fem Shep to have any romance with Kaidan or Liara.

HOWEVER...

She played through the game up till Ilos. Kaidan is dead back at Virmire, and she plainly told Liara she was not interested. After finishing the 4 main missions, Liara comes to comfort her FemShep, but somehow CANNOT get rid of her, even using all bottom options to tell her to go away. However, all of them fail to do that, and almost kiss each other regardless.

So far she feels that Liara romance is being forced on her, and it's making her angry. Almost to the point of giving up on the series because of this.

So, we need help here. How can we avoid ANY romance option at this point?

Secondly, if that can't be avoided. There will come the scene when heading to Ilos, can rejecting sex break the romance option? Will it stop it?

She REALLY doesn't want to restart the game if she can help it. Again, she does not want a romance option to occur in the first game (she wants to move to ME2 on a clean slate), and not have to cheat in ME2 to do it.

Thank you for your time.

(P.S. No smartass comments or questions as to why she doesn't want it (her choice, plain and simple), please. We need clear answers if you can.)

I got same problem right now...only with Ashley and I have the same question!



Simple question is: Refusing sex means no romance and no cheating in ME2? If somebody will answer this, then I'll be greatfull too, couse I am stuck on with the game becouse of this right now.

[Richard21Magnus]

I can answer the Ashley issue. I have a Male Shepard with no relations currently. Been speaking fine with Ashley up till she starts talking about Armistice Day and her Grandfather. When she mentions she's been interested in you, act dumb "What about me?". Finished the conversation and did not speak to her again. She came back after the Council grounded me, and pretty much, like a jerk, I told her to go away. (Gotta be real mean that time, only way she'll leave you alone)

[___Polaris___]

Thanks, but still. I want to ask this, becouse I really want to know that what kind of an situation can happen in ME2 when U refuse the sex!?



So again: I have no other choice...I am in a position, that I got Ashley in my room ( I am male Shepard ) and I refuse the sex...so...what that means? No romance in ME2? No cheating on her when playing ME2? Simpl...am I single or not?

[Savage-Alien]

Sounds like you're a free Shepard.

I believe you can send her away. When she walks into your room and starts to talk, you can turn her down. Do that and no sex will happen.

[Richard21Magnus]

Right thanks.



That still leaves the issue that she couldn't get rid of Liara when on the Normandy after lockdown. She should have been able to get rid of her, she even made it clear to her she wasn't interested when it was mentioned. Yet, despite this, she approached, tried to comfort, and even using the Renegade options, STILL acted like the romance was on.

[foolybug]

I have started a Fem Shepard and I'm going to do the same by trying to have no romance at all I think you could refuse the sex thing like how you refuse the sex option w/ Ashley if your Male Shepard.

[binaryemperor]

So... Basically Liara is raping Shepard? Good thing she's not an Ardat-Yakshi.



No means no!

[guitarbard]

Wait...wait...if you turn her down, you STILL have sex? I always thought the bottom option was there to make you go, "What, are you crazy? Of COURSE I'm going to sleep with her!!!"

[Hyper Cutter]

Your friend waited too long. The way to go would be romance both Liara and Kaidan, pick Kaidan when they force you to choose between them, then nuke him...

[Chillwill]

Tell her to stop flirting if she cant stand being flirted with. And how on earth can she be forced into a romance.

[CastroKathy]

This is weird, I accidentally sent Liara away on one of my play through, so it can be done. I don’t remember exactly, but I guess if you stick to the lower right options she leaves. Liara is key to Shepard’s survival in ME2 so she’s got to still like you in ME1, even if you blow her off.

[Nomcookie]

Funny thing is, all you need to do to start a relationship with Ash is to not be mean.

What do you need to do to start a relationship with Liara? Talk.



I swear, these women just throw themselves at you… Which is why I kinda decided to go the best way possible and try and resist Ash (she isn't listening) and if need be, leave her to die on Virmire. I was pretty clear that I did not want to start a relationship with Liara, because I've yet to find a way to definitely end that one.

[___Polaris___]

It's funny. I played that 2 times ( male Shepard ) and got rid of Liara very easy...just told her, that I am not interested into her and also told her that I have no interest into Ashley ( but I don't know for sure ). But that would mean then that Ashley will be no more interest too and the result was that I had a problem to get rid of Ashley at the end all the time.

[Richard21Magnus]

My friend is trying a new game to figure it out. My thoughts is that she got too friendly during the typical conversations, even the slight bit of approval may lead to a mistake. She claimed to have said "Not Interested" to Liara, yet she still came to her. I fear there may have been something else she missed. Granted, I'm puzzled myself... normally the lowest options during the normandy grounding get rid of the said love interest. Instead she jumped her regardless.

[wookieboy15]

Im having a similar problem on my playthrough. Playing a male Shepard (paragon) and I dont want any romances in ME1. I want a clean slate for when i woo Tali in ME2. But i still like to get all the convo's with my companions done and friendly. It seems however that simply being nice to both Liara and Ash gets them both interested. Im almost up to the part where they come find me to see who I like better and im hoping there's a "Both of youz sux. Tali iz hotta" selection or im going to be raped by one of them... not happy about this forced romance business...

[Nejandia]

I've been experiencing this issue too, and worse, it's a bloody persistent one. Despite using every rude/nasty reply to Liara's dialogue on my original ME1 playthrough (femShep), the scene mentioned by previous posters was triggered anyways. I told her to go away during the followup "romance" scene, and still ended up locked in an unwanted "relationship" with her somehow after importing my save into ME2.



So I replayed ME1 at this point, and to be absolutely safe, avoided rescuing her until every other planet including Virmire had already been done, and again, took the opportunity to be as mean as possible in the post-mission debriefing, and avoided talking to her at all or even going near her part of the ship afterwards. Much to my relief, the stumble-kiss scene wasn't triggered this time. …But when I imported -this- save into ME2, what do I find waiting in Shep's cabin, but the picture of the irritating creature herself. I'm not sure how threatening to drop someone back into a volcano during your one and only conversation with them counts as triggering a romance, but it's getting very, very annoying. I keep hoping there's some way to fix this, as I'd really like to play ME2 the way I want to instead of having to slog through ME1 a third time in less than a month.

Lol! The problem is, because she has chosen the wrong Answer before this!
Liara is like Aerie in BG2: For getting her you have to give her time and all that romantic stuff :happy:
So it was the wrong option for getting some distance to her (for you: She has become a Stalker )

[Zaxares]

It looks like the safest way to avoid a Liara romance is to pursue a romance with the human partner (which should lock Liara out of the romance plot for good), then leave the human on Virmire.











**MILD ME2 SPOILERS FOLLOWING**









It's also possible that Bioware deliberately did this so Liara would help save Shepard in the events between ME1 and ME2. Why else would Liara try to help somebody who was an absolute ass to her?

[Taritu]

Liara explicitly asks you if you're interested. Say "I just want to be friends". If you do, she never mentions it again. It's really clear, unlike like with Ash.

[Moleculor]

I'm having this same issue with Ashley. Got to the Armistice Day part and suddenly she's calling me Skipper.



Guess who's getting to sit right on top of a nuke?

[AxoneNeurone]

I didn't romance anyone in ME1 on my first play through, and Liara didn't come and bother me. Clearly, she finds your friend's Shepard more attractive. >:[



But that's... weird. I dunno what to say, except be as rude as hell to her and hope she goes. No sex will hopefully equal no "romance." It certainly will keep you from getting the Achievement--if you're playing on 360.

[quevemare]

I don't thing anothing can be forced in this game except for the main plot
