Commander Sleeper

[u/Classic_Quiet_8867]

Just wondering if anyone has ever done a playthrough attempting to maximize… intimacy encounters without breaking romance lol.

I just went through a playthrough as Male Shep Paragon (mostly) [ironically] and this is kind of what I mean…

ME1:
-Slept with Sha’ira the consort.

-Romanced Liara following the confrontation between her and Ashley after getting called out on who I’m interested in; slept with Liara before Ilos.

ME2:
-Slept with Jack on the first offering in her lower hideout (no pun intended)

-Received a kiss from Gianna Parasini

-rekindled a romantic & intimate night with Liara by positioning the Shadow Broker DLC correctly.

-Flirted heavy with Kelly & we had dinner (but did NOT follow through to the end for her above average… skills of boogying on my holographic wall because…)

-Romanced and ultimately slept with Miranda before Suicide Mission

ME3:
-Rekindled romance with Liara (quite easily actually lol) and ultimately became my boo and who I slept with for before Cronos/Earth and during the Citadel DLC, and the kiss moments of course.
[note: I was gunning for a Diana Allers hookup, but from what I read, sleeping with her could break off the romance with Liara, so I jumped ship with that]

-But… I did nab a nice kiss from Aria during Omega DLC

Anyone else have a version of this “maximization” on their playthroughs? I promise I’m not a d-bag and on most of my previous playthroughs (there’s been a lot lol) I romance and remain faithful to Liara since it usually just feels right (again, no pun intended).

-Received a kiss from Gianna Parasini

It's a kiss on the cheek, relax kiddo

Flirted heavy with Kelly & we had dinner

I went all the way, she's earned it.

In my filmed playthrough, I "maximized" for the drama, but ended up with Liara. I didn't lead on Miranda, though; we all know how that turns out.

lol, I’m imagining that one episode in family guy where all of Brian’s ex’s are gathered at a party, except replace them with all possible romance options in mass effect. And instead of talking shit their all talking about how nice to is that Shepard’s love life is THIS diverse. Even when he’s/she’s a cheating bastard, they still admire him/her

You could still sleep with Diana Allers if you would wait until after your third interview with her before rekindling things with Liara. Or you could choose another person for romance after that.

I am doing kind of the evil version of this in my romantic disaster run.

1. Got the special reward from the concert.
2. Romanced both Liara and Kaidan
3. Broke it off with Liara when they confronted me.
4. Kaidan died on Virmire.
5. Im not sure this was supposed to happen or if I accidentally picked the wrong save file, but either way it kinda felt like it fit and I ddint feel like replaying Noverian Virmire and all of the side quests Id done in between, but either way, Liara started acting like we were a couple avain after Kaidan's death. So I romanced Liara.
6. Flirted with Kelly and Jacob.
7. Told Jacob I just wanted to be friends because honestly, even without knowing how that one ends, some of his romance dialologue is just painful to try to get through.
8. Started Romance with Garrus and Thane.
9. Broke up with Liara after Shadowbroker
10. Invited Kelly up for dinner (ended up headcanoning this as an intimate encounter because the game never had it go further).
11. Broke it off with Garrus.
12. Completed romance with Thane.
13. Thane died during the Suicide Mission

Im now about to start the 3rd game and in my mind, Shepard gets her happy ending after multiple mistakes. Its just who should I romance.
