What Happens If You Romance Everyone in Mass Effect?
Romancing characters in Mass Effect can be a thrilling experience, but what if you want to romance everyone? Well, the answer is not a straightforward one. In this article, we’ll delve into the consequences of romancing every character in the game.
No Romance with Everyone
Unfortunately, you can’t romance every character in the game. The game’s narrative and character development are designed in such a way that some characters are only intended to be romantic interests for certain characters or under specific circumstances. Attempting to romance someone who is not intended to be your romantic interest will result in disappointment.
The Consequences of Romantic Escapades
Romancing multiple characters can have unintended consequences. Here are a few examples:
- Choosing one over the other: When you romance multiple characters, you’ll eventually be forced to choose one over the other. This can lead to broken relationships and hurt feelings.
- Inconsistent Storylines: Mass Effect’s story is heavily influenced by the characters you romance. Romancing multiple characters can create inconsistencies in the storyline and characters’ motivations.
- Difficulty in Importing Save: If you’ve romanced multiple characters, it may become difficult to import your save into the next game in the series. This is because the game’s narrative is designed to unfold in a specific way based on your romantic choices.
Who Can You Romance?
Here’s a list of characters you can romance in the Mass Effect series:
- Mass Effect 1: Kaidan Alenko (male) or Liara T’Soni (female)
- Mass Effect 2: Miranda Lawson, Jacob Taylor, Tali’Zorah nar Rayya, Legion (optional), and Kasumi Goto (optional)
- Mass Effect 3: Garrus Vakarian, Tali’Zorah nar Rayya, Liara T’Soni, and Kasumi Goto (optional)
Can You Sleep with Jack?
Yes, you can sleep with Jack, but it will have consequences. Choosing to have a romantic relationship with Jack will lead to a brief, steamy cutscene, but after this, Jack will no longer speak to Shepard casually, and her romance will be locked. If you plan to romance Miranda or Tali, this may not be the best choice.
What Happens If Garrus Dies?
If Garrus dies, Joker will be the one who reports to the Illusive Man at the end of the game. However, this will be the end of the story, and you will not be able to import that save into Mass Effect 3.
What If Commander Shepard Dies?
If Shepard dies, Joker will be the one who reports to the Illusive Man at the end of the game. However, this will be the end of the story, and you will not be able to import that save into Mass Effect 3.
Conclusion
Romancing everyone in Mass Effect is not possible, and attempting to do so can lead to inconsistencies in the storyline and characters’ motivations. The game’s narrative is designed to unfold in a specific way based on your romantic choices, and choosing one character over another can have significant consequences. Be cautious when making your romantic choices, as they can affect the story and characters in significant ways.
