Anyone care to speculate on what kind of cosequences cheating on your LI will have? A few people seem to want drastic ones, but I hope it's limited to being forced to choose and extra dialogue. It is ridiculously hard to stay single in ME1 without metagaming. I'd hate to lose Miranda or Garrus because the game thinks I romanced Ashley or Kaidan when I didn't.

I doubt there will be much drama. The only thing I could see is that maybe you lose the option of the ME1 LI being a squad mate in ME3 (assuming that options exists) or you are forced to choose between the 2.

There probably won't be any, since writing your way around that would be a nightmare for Bioware. None the less, I would actually do romances if it meant I could watch Miranda, Tali, Jack, Ashley and Liara all try to kill each other, or at least two of them. All I would need is popcorn and a camera.



Nothing wrong with mansheps ego! NOTHING!

My guess is maybe you'll have to choose one or the other for a squad member.

It's pretty easy to stay single in ME1, actually. Don't talk to them at all, or shut them down the minute they show interest. If you're rude to Ashley early on, for example, she doesn't even try to flirt with you.

I think it should have big-time repercussions. Like losing a squad mate (not to death, but to "FU, I'm out.").

Garurs and Kaidan fist-fighting, and Liara+Jack biotic fighting over me, on respective shep genders.

As for consequences, they probably won't be that big, but I'd kind of like it if you actually had to WORK to keep your relationship if you romanced certain characters. I don't think Jack would really give a sh*t what you did in the past, but Garrus and Tali, who knew your first relationship, might find it pretty uncool of Shepard to screw them over.



Maybe some sort of Charm/Intimidate test to settle them down? 'I don't care about that person anymore, you're the one I want'/'F*CK THAT GUY, HE'S A DICK'

I still think it's absurd that after two years of not seeing this character, for Shepard to move on is somehow "cheating".

You LIs don't see Shepard for 2 years, Shep is unconscious

Because for Shepard, it hasn't really been 2 years? It has for you, as the player, but the whole SR1 explodey thing should feel like yesterday.

It's really only cheating if you expect to go back to your ME1 LI, but sleep with someone else in ME2, anyway. Otherwise it's just moving on.

Agreed! Especially after what happens on Horizon or seeing Liara's  obsession and lies.

This would be a good start. :)

While I could see that if Shepard had been aware of the 2 years passing, but for Shepard it's only been a few months at most, and the feelings should still be there if they were there to begin with.

I'm struggling to understand how Shepard and Ash can be called a relationship. You are gone two years and when you finally reunite what happens? she calls you a traitor and runs off! Liara on the other hand cares deeply for Shepard but is preoccupied with getting the shadow broker.

To be fair, it is implied that a fair amount of time passes between your first tryst before Ilos and the destruction of the Normandy.  You've been out on patrol for quite a while, and probably got some R&R time on the Citadel before leaving.  So... we're probably talking about quite a bit more than a one-night stand.  

Still, after the way that Ashley & Kaiden react when you meet them on Horizon, I don't see any problems with moving on.  To Hell with them.  With Liara, it's a bit trickier... particularly if you figure out that she was the one who found your body, but I personally got the impression that Liara would actually encourage Shep to move on (at least for a while) until she gets the Shadow Broker monkey off her back.  So, no.  I don't really see any need for a big, nasty set of consequences for a second affair.  Maybe a short confrontation scene to clear the air, but other than that, nothing.  

Personally, as long as Kelly keeps her mouth shut, I'm golden. :devil:

Tali is a great romantic option because she has been secretly pining for Shepard from the beginning. It seems apparent in the first game when she enthusiastically asks, 'Shepard, need something?!'

How is that relevant to the OPs question?

My prediction, for what it's worth: the "consequences" will be an email, and the squadmate thing will be irrelevant since none of the ME1/ME2 squaddies will return (with the possible exception of Liara).

Even if I'm wrong about the squadmates not coming back, romance has never been related to the missions in the past -- you can have a nasty breakup with someone and still take them along on the next mission with no alteration in dialogue or anything else -- and I highly doubt BioWare will change that in ME3.

I definitely don't want a catfight. Seems OOC for everybody.

If there are any consequences to this it will be minor. Unless Bioware breaks their trend of making choices mostly meaningless, which I doubt, I forsee a rejection message on your private terminal. The LI's are a subplot anyways so won't make a difference to the story as a whole.....sadly.

It isn't. 

But...the consequences should be limited.  I mean, Shepard is grievously insulted and then abandoned with a half-hearted apology through...EMAIL!?  Lame!  

I think that at worst you should have to choose, and even if you choose against the ME1 LI that person should take it like, 'well, I deserved that.'
