How to romance Liara without ME1?

[ryan]

So I've never played ME1 and not planning to, but I want to bone Liara so bad in ME2. Is there a way to start a relationship with her? I have the Genesis DLC and Shadow Broker DLC

[Angeluse]

nope, you can only romance crew members. She isn't a Crew member in ME2. in ME1 and 3 she is. and is able to be romanced then.

So if I romance someone else in ME2 can I still romance that blue slut in ME3 if I continued my save from ME2?

[Angeluse]

Yeap.

You can do so in every game. you don't Have to stick to the same person each game

Which in some cases is kind of a dickish move.

It would be if Bioware wrote the romances that way, but they rarely are (except for that Miranda bit).

ME1 was a one 'night' romp before possible..death.
ME2 was a one 'night' romp before possible..death.

Neither of them had extended time getting to know each other romantically. There was an attraction, and it gets acted on, and neither party agrees that it should become a 'relationship'. In fact, the lines between characters often go the other way - that a romance is occurring, but nothing that they're sure would last long anyway, given the mission.

The base game of ME3 changes this somewhat. There is a date or two. Some downtime before heading out into the fray again. ME3 is honestly the first time that Mass Effect gets into actual 'romantic coupling' instead of just acting on attraction or wishes. Closest otherwise would be Liara in ME1 --> Liara in ME2 --> Liara in ME2 LOTSB DLC.

Then Citadel DLC adds a whole other level, where by the end of it all (and Extended Cut), you know this is the relationship that matters.

But a ME1 or kinda even ME2 experience in itself? Meh. Yay drinking with Garrus. Yay consoling Jack. Yay showing Tali a new experience.

This is how much they care, in the end (just examples):

There's bigger matters. Its only ME3 that has characters really wondering about a future past the Reapers and suicide missions.

I find it hilarious when Jacob turns down ME3 FemShep. Because honestly, it isn't dickish. This is a dire time and people should go for what they want, when they want it. Pretty much every character understands that, even if they can kinda resent it (Liara ALWAYS crushes on Shepard in some way, of course).

So If I chose Liara in the Genesis comic flash back then does that mean she is my romantic interest until I pursue someone else? I want to bang that blue cooch in the LotSB DLC but only if I know I can without having to romance her by playing ME1 because you know, it'd be a waste if I didn't romance with anyone in ME2 only to be screwed over when I play the DLC and realize she isn't a love interest.

No you'd only get a cuddle off her, nothing more, you'd be better off screwing jack then romancing Miranda or Tali
