So I just cheated on Liara

[Jenova65]

I'm probably going to with Kelly (FemShep here, I'd do it with Tali if I could), but only for the full experience, I'm gonna stay faithful on the file I actually bring over to ME3, 'cause that's how my Shepard rolls.

Just so you know, romancing Kelly doesn't unlock the paramour achievement.

Oh. Good to know, thanks. Still, I like Kelly, I'll probably go for her on my first playthrough anyway (although I'm still conflicted about Garrus and, having not met Thane yet, I don't want to rule anything out).

Thane is pretty cool imo! Jacob is OK-ish and good guy but a bit cocky and arrogant for my tastes, Thane on the other hand is charismatic and has a far more illusive quality than the so called illusive man, so I would definitely hold on that decision.

Kinda surprised so many people are pissed at Ashley/Kaidan. I mean how would you react if two years after the person you loved had died, they show up again at the scene of a violent battle working for a group notorious for evvvvviiiiilllllllll. Hell, I'd be pissed and confused too!

No one remember the Cerebus quest-line from Mass Effect 1 where it's revealed they'd been experimenting on Alliance soldiers turning them into mindless Husks? How they killed the commander who went after them and tried multiple times to kill you to?

Sure, Shepards back! But on the other hand you've been dead two years and unlike Liara, Ashley/Kaidan didn't even know what really happened to you. If you play with Femshep in the email from Kaidan he says that his friends had just convinced him to move on and try dating again before you showed up again. Similar story with Ashley.

So yeah, I'm not angry. It'd be much more out of character if they were to simply leap into your arms and act as though nothing had ever happened after all. Besides, we all know they'll be back for the conclusion.

Totally this ^ Well put! Not to mention

Spoiler

The letter you get from Kaiden/Ashley at your private terminal when you get back to the Normandy is very open ended, they clearly are still in love with Shepard *sobs for Kaiden*

 

[Inco]

Yes I did
I cheated on Liara for Miranda. I didn't want an alien to begin with and there was no way I was going for Ashley.
Ohhhh Miranda <3

This one just here reflects my views perfectly.

 

[nightwolf667]

I cheated on Kaiden because I accidentally fucked Garrus.

In all honesty I accidentally opened up the love quest line and didn't have the heart to close it, because it's Garrus and Garrus is awesome. Also, being bitched out by Kaiden for something that was out of my control (AKA being dead) and then having him exclaim something along the lines of "WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME?" while I was dead, was not fun. He also did not accept this explanation, even though he was on a special mission that the Alliance and Captain Anderson specifically kept me from talking to him or even mentioning to him that I was alive. He should have known this. So yeah, retard. (Also I should have gotten the dialogue option to mention to that to him while I was there.)

Also, I worked with Cerberus because they were trying to save the galaxy and I didn't expect Kaiden to question my good judgement. (After all, I didn't leave him to die the first time through, though I did the second time and will every time after this because he was being a whiny little jackass.)

I will however remain loyal to Liara because she behaved like an adult. Kaiden and Ashley do not.

Ill say what i say on you tube, Miranda has the body but Tali has the personality. The romance scene with Miranda kicks the shit out of the romance scene with Tali, but i would choose Tali over Miranda. Besides, I always thought that a girl that stumbles all over her words when she talks to you was cute. Also, tali in the first game was kind of hinting that she liked Shepard but Bioware only let us have Liara and Ashely.

It was also a big dick move by Bioware for not showing us her face, but if you Google original concept art of a Quarian, u can see what they look like

what this guy said

 

[Theron Julius]

I can tell you now, 100% sure, I am gonna cheat on Liara for Tali. Liara was all fine, but she was very difficult to relate to. Tali is far more of a developed personality and I do like quarians more that Asari.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Liara is a blue alien smurf with fake emotions.. Does it make me racist that I think that of her?

I think you're Ashley in disguise...

As for me, I kept Shep away from both Liara and Ashley in my playthrough and saved all his luvvin' for Miranda.

 

[DustyDrB]

So I just cheated on Liara with Tali in Mass Effect 2. Bioware boasted I would cheat but looking at Miranda e.t.c. was just boring. Then the emotional impact of Tali's story won me over.
Perhaps I will restart to correct my soul but I might stick with it as it's quite intense.

There have been a couple of threads on WILL you cheat, but in hindsight I am asking: Did you cheat?

You didn't cheat. Liara blew you off to chase the Shadow Broker. Also, you were gone for two years and it's fairly obvious that her "friend" (whose death got her to hunt the Shadow Broker) was more than just a friend. You got dumped, sir, regardless of what you may or may not think about Liara. So, no cheating there.

Yep. An asari ladyboy has his/her needs, right?

Who cares. It's a damn video game character for chrissake!
Or are ME2 players turning into this guy:

Are you trying to tell me that this "thing" I feel between Tali and I isn't real?

 

[T3h Merc]

I ditched that cow Ashley and jumped on my true love, Tali.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

After Ashley had her little ***** fit with me, I had no problem going with Tali instead. Hell, I'd have preferred Tali over all the others in the first place.

I couldn't help but be a bit pleasantly surprised by this particular addition to Mass Effect 2. Of all the women of Mass Effect that would be seduce-able, I didn't expect Tali to be one.

 

[VanityGirl]

I'm probably going to with Kelly (FemShep here, I'd do it with Tali if I could), but only for the full experience, I'm gonna stay faithful on the file I actually bring over to ME3, 'cause that's how my Shepard rolls.

You can't have SEX with her, but she'll sit in your captain's quarters.


OT: I don't think it's cheating, especially since the character you had sex with in the first game pretty much gets pissed at you and essentially "breaks up" with you.

 

[JamesCG]

I haven't got ME2 YET (Probably next week,) so I'm running through the first game for the fourth time.

The reason? Level 60 and Iwant to be romanceless. After hearing about Liara's reaction to you and all that, I just don't want to wait until mass effect 3 to get some sort of thingamabob. So, when I get it, I'm going for Miranda.

The problem; I'm scared that Bioware is going to do to ME2 romances what they did to ME3 romances.

Also; I find the ME2 characters much more interesting anyway.

Quantitative error: Cannot correct that which is not incorrect.
(And yes. Yes we did. Like the fist of an angry God.)

 

[Slaanax]

Playing as a Femshep I chose Garrus, only because Thane was going to die soon.

 

[lacktheknack]

YOOOOUUU BIIIIIIICTH.

I probably will when i play, but I might not. It depends on how aloof I find Liara (like Susan Arendt did).

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

Is it possible that with all this alien shagging Commander Shepherd is going to become the James T Kirk of this generation?

 

[InquisitorRaekan]

I so cheated on Ashely with Tali. In ME1 alls i wanted for christmas was Tali but i got stuck with the lesser of two evils. ME2 gave me the opportunity i wanted. I honestly don't care what ashely's argument is as to why i should stay with her in ME3, Tali's too damn awesome.
