So I just cheated on Liara

Hmmm, well with my paragon Femshep I decided it would be inappropriate RP for her to cheat on Liara even if she "cheated" first. Besides I liked Liara better than any of the other options presented, and it's not just the whole "lesbian" thing with me being a pseudo-perv... pretty much it seems to me that just about every male love interest in these games strikes me as being a dork. I don't know why, I'd have to get some women's opinion on things, it's probabjy just that I'm a guy.
When I play through with my secondary character a renegade male, I plan to cheat more or less for the achievement even though I'm playing the PC version.
As far as the availible options go, Kelly seems to be basically okay from what I've seen (but she doesn't count for the achievement), Miranda is hot but I honestly find her kind of annoying. Surprisingly I kind of like Subject Zero as a character a lot more than I thought I would, given her backround the attitude doesn't even annoy me quite as much as I thought it would. Even liking the whole "punk" movement fashion wise, I think her tattoos are a bit overdone/done badly. In general a tattooed "Shirt" can be made to look good, even if it's made up of a lot of differant things as opposed to designed as a whole, in her case it bothers me that you can't even really make out the specific things and there just seems to
be a lot of squiggles. Despite being a jerk my Renegade is still ultimatly a good guy, and I could see him trying to help her so to speak and things going that way .

I always wished you could do Tali in the first one, but since I couldn't I had sex with Liara who i quite liked back then. Then Liara turned out to be a fucking irritating *****, and Tali turned availableGloatingSwine said:
Too bad I couldn't get Garrus in on that aswell D:
My Paragon Jane Shepard is faithful, my Renegade Jack Shephard has hit (in order) Ashley, Miranda (save not continued), Tali (save continued), and, ironically, Jack (save continued).
My two different Renegades have done a few other things differently, hence the two saves, will have to replay my Paragon again to make sure of the key choices in the game, but my Janey's staying faithful, especially after Liara's commitment.

Well, I had this thing with Ashley in the first game. At least, ya' know, until that whole Virmire thing. So I don't consider my hook up with Tali "cheating" per se.
At least you don't have to meet their digitised parents or perform shelf putting up mini games - maybe thats going to be in the next oneahlycks said:
To be honest, I'm not sure. Heh
I went with Mmmmmmiranda in ME2. Somehow, however, ME2 determined that I had been in a relationship with Ashley in ME1 as I had her picture in my cabin. I was a mixture of standoff-ish and friendly towards Ashley in ME1, but refused her when she tried to take things further so we didn't seem to be in a relationship at all never mind kissing or anything beyond that. *shrug* I'm interested in seeing how it ends up playing out in ME3 seeing as how Ashley and I never actually were together even if the game thinks we were on some level.

I cheated in a heartbeat, Liara turned into a totally crazy, revenge driven biatch. And this was my Buddha Shep who loves all the flowers and trees and spared everyone's lives, so his worldview was clearly incommensurable with Liara's.David Bray said:
In non-RP purposes, her new mannerisms were REALLY annoying. "I'm so cold and dark and calculating now." Wah-wah-wah. "My partner died!" *****, I was dead! Be happy to see me!
Of course, I was told there are consequences in ME3. And seeing as how Liara did turn into a cold, calculating, revenge driven biatch, I'm fully expecting her to do some sort of craziness [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaSy8yy-mr8]...
Right well, I've actually played through Mass Effect 2 now and I once again must repeat:
Did not cheat.
If you ask me Ashley was by all means in the right to be confused and upset about someone who she thought was dead coming back after two years just as she was moving on, plus she sends an apologetic email so it's not like the anger is full on. I still prefered Ashley over the others partly because of her tough attitude and almost hidden soft interior but also because she was notably flawed, not perfect. As is the basis of a well written character.
So yeah, I remained faithful during the duration of the story in Mass Effect 2. It was kinda hard with women throwing themselves at me but I forced myself to ignore their attempts choosing only the most neutral dialouge choices.
It also gave off a good feeling of consistancy, Ash was in the opening after all and shared a brief exchange with Shepard before leaving, her picture was on my table and then they met on Horizon and had a falling out followed by an apology via email and finally Shepard staring at her photo just before the final mission with a look of longing in his eyes.
Whatever, it just felt like the right decision for me, because I like making the story work out my way and truth be told I'm kind of the romantic type (this applies much more in real life I assure you, good god, I need not be so nerdy as to forget which is which) and so combined with my liking for the character and the chemistry between her and Shepard, the need for a consistant plot and just sheer intent to remain noble Shepard stayed faithful to Ashley.
Besides, she's basically a hot female version of Ash from the Evil Dead trilogy, so that has to be a plus in her favour.

I have a FemShep that isn't fully paragon or renegade. I just play it as I see it. BioWare justifies all of my actions for me. Anyway my ME1 'ship was with Kaiden and I am actually attached to it. I tried to start over and kill off Kaiden in place of Ashley once and couldn't do it. It sucks that he isn't there and that in place of the 'ship I nurtured for so long I suddenly have to have some bi-racial relationship and Kaiden is still alive. I probably won't develop a relationship with anyone in ME2 since it feels like cheating. Although I do want the paragon achievement.
Obviously im conflicted if I found this forum seeking advice, but I needed to talk about it, my boyfriend just doesn't understand..I guess I could just go back to ME1 and create a cheating kinda girl...although that seems like an awful lot of work to get a piece of cartoon booty. I guess what I really need to know is if Kaiden comes back in ME3, because this isn't enough time after a break up to move on. Are we broken up? KAIDEN DID YOU BREAK UP WITH ME?

I'd point out to this, however, that while it's been 2 years for them or for Liara, it was "yesterday" for you. So, in character, it's easy to see where Shepard would have an emotional disconnect with how Liara, Ashley, or Kaidan treats him. They weren't even sure he was really alive and you just saw them yesterday. Shepard's a coma patient who just woke up to a whole new world. I'm not sure I buy all the cheating on Liara excuses, but it is true that she doesn't just drop everything to go with Shepard and she is emotionally very distant when you first encounter her again (until LotSB). It's easy to understand why Shepard might feel abandoned by her, especially when they both know he's going on a mission where there's a good chance he'll die. To me, that was what motivated Shepard to cheat - impending death and the fact that Liara was nowhere to be found when Shepard needed someone. Does that make it right? No, but it does make it understandable, which I think counts for something.Jenova65 said:
