Soon after you recruit Liara, she hints at having a romantic interest in you, which you can encourage. If you’re looking to romance Liara, don’t leave her recruitment mission on Therum too late – if you visit Therum after Virmire, there will be no time to establish a relationship. Otherwise, before the mission on Ilos, they visit your room – Paragon choices result in a romantic cutscene, and Renegade choices turn them away, though they will still carry over to the next game as a romantic relationship. Hard to come back from that.Īfter the Normandy is placed in lockdown, Kaidan or Ashley approaches you with reassurance, at which point you can break things off by pursuing the Renegade path. On Virmire, you must decide whether to rescue Ashley or Kaidan from the nuclear blast unsurprisingly, leaving your love interest behind also ends your relationship with them. Shortly after recruiting Liara, your human love interest asks if Shepard is interested in her – if you say you are, this ends the romance with Kaidan/Ashley.
If you want to romance them, reassure them, and continue to speak to them after each primary mission – the two of you develop a flirtatious relationship.
On Eden Prime, depending on Shepard’s gender, either Kaidan or Ashley get caught in the pull of the Prothean beacon.
