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. There are only two options for both male and female Shepard, one of which is shared.
The first game in the trilogy is the most limited when it comes to romances. So, after all that, who can Shepard romance across the Mass Effect trilogy? Without further ado, here’s our guide to shagging aliens and being gay. Further, Mass Effect 2 was set to have Jack as pansexual and Jacob as gay but these were removed for fear of upsetting conservatives who wrongly criticised the first game for including alien nudity.ĭespite a fan petition to have these romance options reinstated, Bioware has stayed true to the original releases and kept the options the same. What’s most disappointing is that same-sex voice lines were recorded for the first game but not used.
While you’ve got the opportunity to bang aliens from the first game onwards (thanks, Bioware!) LGBT+ romances are off the table until the third game.
Relationships have also been a point of contention for the series in the past, and that sadly doesn’t change here. That includes choosing which crewmates to romance – a special moment that only adds to the space soap opera tension between the trilogy’s iconic characters. With the release of Mass Effect Legendary Edition, fans and newcomers alike can experience the thrill of saving the universe as their own personal take on Commander Shepard. The cornerstone of any Bioware game, especially when it comes to Mass Effect, which is why you need a handy guide.
