If the player romanced Liara in the first game, this relationship can continue in the DLC “Lair of the Shadow Broker” for ME2. In the first games of the series, romance options are limited: both male and female Shepard have two romance options. Male Shepard can romance the human female NPC Ashley Williams. Similar to what happened with male Shepard-Garrus fandom, modded versions of the game allow female Shepard to engage a relationship with heterosexual female characters such as Jack and Ashley. Female Shepard has more possibilities for same-sex relationships (6) than male Shepard (2), which are described in more detail below. However, it is only in the second game and third games that female Shepard can engage into same-sex relationships with the human species. In the third game, male Shepard gets two official gay romances: one with Kaidan Alenko and one with Steve Cortez (described in more detail below).įemale Shepard can either be lesbian, bisexual, or heterosexual in all the games. Fans of the ME franchise desired a gay Garrus-Shepard romance, and a glitch in the game allows those with some hacking expertise to fulfill said wish.
For instance, it is possible to develop a “bromance” relationship with Garrus. In the first two installments, male Shepard can only be heterosexual, although it is possible to perform other sexualities through gameplay without engaging in actual romance or creating fictional romance from the game interactions. Male Shepard can be sexually fluid due to game restrictions on relationship partners. In the Mass Effect series, the player can romance several non-playable characters (NPCs), depending on the gender of the player-character and the sexuality of the NPC.
