I totally have a pic of Liara on the Normandy in the beginning of ME2.

@Yeled (re female shepard)

LOL!

I've tried to play male!Shepard, but it just doesn't work for me.

@General Stubbs

A lot of players out there default Shepard to "he" most likely because the promos for ME2 completely excluded any possibility of Shepard being female. I know they did it for consistancy, but honestly it was a mistake.

Aparently there's no "canon" Shepard, but the presence of Sheploo in the trailers and promos promotes the idea that the default Shepard is male. (She isn't - there are two default Shepards, one male, one female.)

@Somebody1003

I think we're all going to have to face the fact that any LI in 3 will be romanceable by new players.

I don't really see how that's unfair to us long term players, as their games have nothing to do with our games. Besides which, ME3 will just assume a prior relationship with Kaiden or Ashley for new players, based on Shepard's gender, just as ME2 did, I think. (They might also just default to Miranda or Jacob... hmmm...)

If new players get an opportunity to experience romance with our lovely blue goddess, all the better, IMHO!

@Marcin R

The attraction to Fem!Shepard comes for a number of reasons. In my case one reason I like fem!Shepard is because I'm female and can relate to her better.

I could go on a feminist spiel about now, but I won't since I don't really think this thread is the place.

I really hope that by the time of Mass Effect, humanity will have overcome it's stupid bigotry towards homosexuals. Given the Alliance is multi-national and there are many many many nations that allow gays to serve openly and freely in their militaries, I find it difficult to believe that the Alliance would have a DADT kind of policy still in existance (not even the US is going to have DADT for much longer, if I'm reading things correctly).

Hmm... I think it's about time I put a link to "Fight for the Love" group in my sig.

Looks like a bowling mini-game was cut from ME2!

I think I saw in one of those links with the Casey interview where he said that Liara will only be availible to those who romanced her in ME1.

I think that would be a real shame.

Oh, I agree completely, and bigotry of any kind is stupid and ignorant beyond belief, and openly discriminating against someone based on their sexuality.

It was just me creating a backstory for a lesbian FemShep who finally finds happiness in Liara's arms, and having her feelings reciprocated by another woman. I didn't mean to cause any kind of offense, if I did.

The pessimistic side of me wants to agree with you Enfants.  Maybe there still will be discrimination against sexuality (even race) in the future.   Poverty still exists and I wouldn't be surprised if these other things do as well.  One would hope not, but who knows?  There aren't any homosexual ME characters to base this speculation on, except the Shepard (possibly) but Shepard's military history is up to our imagination.

I doubt DADT would exist in the Alliance but that doesn't mean a homosexual Shepard wouldn't have been teased or harrassed for it.

I am a new fan of Liara. I loved the original Mass Effect but for some reason Liara didn't do it for me in the game. After ME3 though Liara became the most interesting love interest for me and I have started a new Mass Effect playthrough from the original game to romance Liara.

I am sure by ME2 many humans have now become bondmates with asari, I wonder how the rest of humanity feels about that?

I'd imagine the vast majority would be accepting and understanding, but you'd still have a few racists and bigots. Imagine if at one point in ME3 Shep is told by a racist he/she is "selling out his/her species" if Liara is your LI? Maybe by Khalisa Al-Jilani? Seems like something she'd try to do to dig up dirt.

I'd imagine that the Humanity FIrst types would hate the Asari, (possibly even more than Turians). Someone who joins in a relationship with an Asari:

1) produces only Asari offspring, the genetic potential is lost to future human children.
2) potentially loses the ability to produce human offspring for life if its a committed bonding relationship, since asari always outlive humans. It's not like Shep will outlive Liara and remarry.

I'd imagine that attitudes would be doubly bad for human women that go Asari. Men can always have a quickie fling with some young human woman as he gets older leaving her to raise a kid as a single parent.  I suppose a woman could have some sort of donor produce a human child but would a space career minded woman who's likely to meet an Asari (already older by the time she's looking) have enough time on her biological clock by the time she remembers?

Also if too many women entered Asari relationships there is a potential of many unattached young males. This always stresses societies, Gangs and Violence etc.

I imagine TIM using the lies he does in ME2 to break-up my Jane and Liara because of some of these attitudes.
