However, both male and female Shepard may also have romantic interactions with the following characters, which do not prevent the romancing of the main romance options but will not be rewarded with the Paramour Achievement.
Male or female Shepard Does not grant the Paramour Achievement. Normandy SR-2 's yeoman and psychologist, and Shepard's personal assistant. An asari justicar. Additional Notes: After Shepard has invited Kelly to dinner she will offer to feed Shepard's fish locking her in as a non-paramour 'alternate'. If Kelly survives the suicide mission , and Shepard has no existing relationships or breaks up with them then Kelly can be invited up to Shepard's quarters.
In lieu of paramour love interest, Kelly can dance for the Commander. Samara can only be romanced by a Paragon Shepard after finishing her loyalty mission provided that there is no romance currently active. Although Shepard expresses feelings for Samara, she will not be able to reciprocate as her commitment to duties come first.
Alternatively, after the suicide mission Shepard may choose to consummate a romantic interest with Morinth. However, since Morinth is an Ardat-Yakshi, she will kill Shepard during the romance scene which will result in a critical mission failure. Romances are built through conversing repeatedly and answering favorably when the subject is raised.
Both male and female Shepard will have nearly identical dialogue when first meeting their crew members. New dialogue options only become available when missions or assignments are completed. However, once a crew member's loyalty mission becomes available, the new dialogue options will be unavailable until the mission has been completed.
Eventually, gender-specific dialogue options will give the opportunity to express interest in a squad member, eventually ending in a sort of romance-zenith where no new dialogues are available despite completing missions.
In most of the major potential romances, conversations will follow a general pattern:. Note: There can be exceptions to the above, for example Garrus can be "flirted" with directly after his loyalty mission by taking "Investigate" dialogue options and asking about turian preparations for dangerous missions. Jacob can and must be flirted with even prior to his loyalty mission to open up the possibility for romance following it. Also, Jacob's romance "zenith" actually consists of more than one unique conversation.
For a female Shepard , a love interest is "locked in" once you express interest at the following dialogue points:. For a male Shepard , a love interest is "locked in" once you express interest at the following dialogue points:. Even after "locking in" a romance as described above, Shepard can still express an interest in other crew members. However, the new love interest will 'challenge' Shepard's love-triangle and force Shepard to dump the 'locked-in' option in order to be with them.
Once a potential relation is at the 'challenge' part, there is no way to express disinterest in them no matter what Shepard chooses. However, if Shepard dumps someone who is 'locked in', that romance option will never be available again. A romance scene with the 'locked-in' character will be shown when the Normandy SR-2 proceeds through the Omega 4 Relay if the "lock-in" occurred before entering the relay.
If the lock-in occurs after the Collectors are defeated, the romance scene plays at the conclusion of the conversation. Another way to permanently terminate a romance with Jack or Miranda is to complete both their loyalty missions without having enough Paragon points or Renegade points to avoid siding with one or the other of them. As mentioned in both Jack: Subject Zero and Miranda: The Prodigal , while their loyalty can be regained, their romance potential cannot. Therefore, if you wish to keep your existing romance or even just a future potential for one , in addition to the loyalty of both squad members, it is recommended that you hold off on completing both missions until you have a high Paragon or Renegade point count.
Although it is possible to have a sexual encounter with Jack before this, it does not count as a full romance. It will also preclude Shepard from having a proper romance with her. This choice comes relatively early, at the third on-ship conversation with her, right after being able to ask about her tattoos. This video shows all of the romance options and sex scenes in the game.
Image credit. In the second game, heterosexual romance options increase. Miranda Lawson. Jacob Taylor. Garrus Vakarian. Thane Krios. A video of all of the above relationship pairings is available here. However, no Paramour achievement is granted for these romances. Kelly Chambers. There are no same-sex relationship options for male Shepard in ME2.
There are, however, mods that allow for them, including the one shown in this video that allows male Shepard to have a relationship with Jacob. In addition, there is at least one fan video that imagines a queer relationship between Miranda and Jack , two female characters whom male Shepard can romance.
Using existing videos from the game that portray this romance, a fan created a video showing their love affair. In addition to these romance options, both male Shepard and female Shepard can romance these non-squadmates:.
It should be noted the above are not a part of the traditional romances in Mass Effect and do not have a romantic cut scene towards the end of the game. These are one-off encounters that do not affect your standing with your chosen romance option.
Since they are brief flings, these relationships will not unlock the 'Paramour' achievement. Romance with squadmates in Mass Effect 2 doesn't occur until after their loyalty missions are complete.
After completing a loyalty mission new dialogue options will appear that will allow Shepard to pursue a romance with that character. Then after each major mission is complete, more dialogue options will become available. It is important to remember that even when you are locked into a relationship with a character, you will have a few opportunities to back out of it.
Each character will ask Shepard a few times if they are still interested. Prior to entering the Omega 4 Relay for the suicide mission, Shepard will have a romantic encounter with their love interest. At the end of the game, Shepard can call their love interest into their cabin at any time. In Mass Effect 3, all romance options carry over from Mass Effect 2, provided that they survived the suicide mission at the end of the game.
This time around; however, Kaidan is also a romance option for male Shepard. As well as this, there are also a couple of new squadmates who can be romanced. These are one-off encounters that will not award you the 'Paramour' achievement. In addition, keeping your relationship with Thane Krios will not unlock the achievement. Romance in Mass Effect 3 is very straightforward. If your love interest survived the events of Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, then you will see them again in Mass Effect 3.
You do have some choices, however; you can either choose to continue your Mass Effect romance or continue your Mass Effect 2 romance. There is also the option to start a new relationship, but only if they were not a main romance option from Mass Effect 2.
This means you cannot romance Garrus if you did not romance him in Mass Effect 2, but you can romance Kaidan even if you didn't romance him in Mass Effect. Looking for more help with Mass Effect? She has been on the run from the authorities, including her mother Samara, for centuries now, but you can encounter her during Samara's loyalty mission.
A standoff will occur between mother and daughter, and if you side with Morinth then Samara is killed and Morinth replaces her on the crew without anyone else realising. In later conversations, Morinth reveals she believes that Shepard would be mentally strong enough to join minds with her and survive, suggesting they do this after completing the final mission.
If both of you survive the Suicide Mission then you have the option to bond with Morinth, but her power proves too strong and Shepard dies a painful death in the process. Samara is an asari justicar, sworn to carry out the Jusicar Code and travel the galaxy righting wrongs. She took on this role to pursue her daughter Morinth, who became a fugitive after going on a killing spree by using her genetic disorder as a weapon.
If you manage to resist Morinth's seduction and defeat her during Samara's loyalty mission, then you can try to pursue a romance. Although Samara is flattered she is completely dedicated to following the Code, which prevents her from forming a relationship. If you continue to pursue her, she almost backs down to share a kiss with Shepard, but pulls away at the crucial moment and leaves to be on her own.
