MASS EFFECT 2 ROMANCE SERIES

And if you’re a gay male Shepard? You’re out of luck.įlings – Samara, Morinth, Kelly Chambers, Liara T’SoniĬhoosing a fling with Morinth also results in instant death so… probably not your best choice. But these flings aren’t as fleshed out as the “real” romances. These do include a same-sex option for female Shepard in Kelly Chambers, as well as three Asari options (with Liara returning). They also won’t count towards the paramour achievement. The game also introduces flings for both genders, where you can romance a character but they’re not permanent. Male Shepard – Tali’Zorah vas Neema, Miranda Lawson, Jackįemale Shepard – Garrus Vakarian, Jacob Taylor, Thane Krios Then there are specific dialogue options to choose (they’re fairly obviously flirtatious) that will eventually lock you into that relationship as you share an intimate moment before the final suicide mission. First you’ll need to complete the loyalty mission for the crewmate you’re looking to woo. Thankfully there’s a little more to these relationships than before.

Here the series begins to open up with more options for both male and female Shepard, even if there are still, disappointingly, no same-sex options. It’s clear she’s intended to be the “sexy blue alien” – not least with the Legendary Edition increasing her breast size – but if you’re looking for a human LGBT+ relationship you’re out of luck. Of course, being an Asari, Liara is technically agender despite being female presenting. Liara in particular seems very keen, which is flattering and all… but be careful if you’re aiming towards a specific option. Simply being positive to one of these characters is enough to trigger the start of a relationship. There are no clear cut dialogue options to choose a specific companion. What’s also awkward about this first game is how easy it is to slip into an unwanted relationship.
