They shouldve bring the old ME1 dialogue back for this one, when Liara and Ash are arguing about you both romancing them... "I love when women fight over me" and shiet
When Miranda tells Shepard, “I won’t be shared,” I feel like Shepard should say, “Technically, I’m the one who’s being shared, and I’m okay with that.”
My biggest frustration is how I wanted to help Jack get stable, as a friend, but not as a love interest. But when I do, it tries to trigger the romance options
It even seems to do that with Fem Shep a little. Jack basically asked if I was hitting on her and that she wasn't interested and that it was weird that I wanted to be friends and help her.
@@shadenox8164 Putting it that way, I suppose you have a point. But they should have just written a better line, because it sounds so out of character for a paragon Shepard.

Tali is my favorite romance option, but I’ll admit that Jack’s is the most complex and interesting to me. The fact that there’s both a Paragon and Renegade romance is pretty cool
@@CiderBearUntier Nah that's pretty much the gist of it, growing up she's been prodded and abused and even begging for help in the facility she was held in no one responded to her, and as a young adult after escaping, she was similarly used into a blend of violence, crime, sex, and substance usage which ended up (rightfully) frying her perception of other people's intentions as only what they can get from her. It's an uphill battle to get her to lower her defenses because being so messed up as a child made her never want to be perceived as 'weak' again. Sadly no real way to get her to hash out her thoughts completely without romancing her, the best you can do for her strictly as a friend is the loyalty mission and little to nothing else afterward.
Jack and Same Sex Kaidan is the only reason why I play MaleShep. FemShep has just so much better line delivery. Not a dig on Marc Meer, but I feel that MShep just tries too hard to be calm and dry. That and Garrus.
@@empressink_ line delivery is kind of critical to voice acting. It's what brings the character alive. I tend to not make MSheps for the specific reason that everything that comes out of Mark Meer's mouth just sounds dry and uninteresting.
Meanwhile I did it unknowingly. Usually, I do Miranda's loyalty mission first for her outfit BUT I wanted to change it up and did Jack's first and its insane how easily locked is Jack romance. No questions asked pretty much and she goes straight from "WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT DOWN HERE" to "I will think about the relationship,k". I prefer the game explicitely saying "do you wanna romance this person?" because its very easy to slip up and romance Jack.
Yeah I get what you mean. But it's the way how the dialogue choices work in ME, I was thinking just being nice to Jack as I was playing Paragon and we needed to keep reminding her that not everyone is a shithead and somehow ended up romancing her lmao
I thought Shepard and Harbinger had something off screen, those lines from the reaper for him: "I know you feel this." "Preserve Shepard's body." "This is true power" A love story better than Twilight.
@@DavZeugme 5:08 Miranda says she "wont be shared" but that phrasing implies that she is the one being shared but shared by who exactly? She isn't dating anyone else. Shepard on the other hand is trying to get with the two women so in this instance he is the one being shared.
@@nikik5567 N-No she's not...literally She is having nothing to do with the other girl. Check your logic. IF you are in a love triangle where the other two individuals are only trying to get after you and not each other, YOU are the one being shared, no one else is.
In my playthrough, I had romanced Miranda, broke up with her, had a fling with Jack, then after she said that was all, I went to Tali and romanced her. 3 in one playthrough. Still amazed I pulled it off.
@@CabageBeans Romance Miranda and do her trust mission. Avoid talking to Jack for this bit. Talk to Jack for the icebreaker convo. Break it off with Miranda. Talk to Jack again. Initiate the hookup scene (this makes it so romance partner is not possible but sex is). Then go talk to Tali. Start Tali's romance.
Lmao, I've seen that smiling Shepard in the thumbnail for years and I still have no idea where it's from. It gets me everytime, but I couldn't tell you when it happens. Edit: I FIGURED IT OUT! When you tell Miranda you're just trying to get her in bed. Lmao, that makes it 10x better.
2 interesting things: 1) you can break up with a romance after the Suicide Mission if you wish to pursue another squadmate, but still get the cutscenes and completely romance all available companions in a single playthrough. 2) if you romance Miranda and break up with her before exporting your save to ME3, you'll be able to start a different romance, but still let her survive Kai Lang.
Another weird thing about the romance mechanic in ME2 is that you can romance all potential squad mates for your character’s gender in one play through. On my first play through ever I chose Miranda (male shep). Then, I was surprised that you could play more after the final mission (cause you couldn’t in ME1) and I started to explore all the games options. I noticed that if you had gotten all romance options to a certain point you could complete a romance, dump them, then go to the next. What was weird was the other characters never acknowledged this out side the dialogue when you dump them. I never tried it again, especially since I now prefer a specific play through and romance, so can’t confirm you can still do that.
I am sad at the lack of confrontation. I wanted to see that scene like in 1 but it be an utter fustercluck with you getting biotically slapped across the room twice if you suggest to keep both
@@SynchronizorVideos "Miranda, Jack, did you really have to rip his entire spine out? Do you know how long it'll cost to put that back in?" - Illusive Man, probably
I'm now trying to remember how, but once I managed to have three "relationships". The first with Miranda, the second with Liara (DLC Shadow Broker) and the third with Tali. And I think it would be possible to add Jack here (where she doesn't go up to your cabin))) I'll try to repeat this in the Legendary Edition, then I'll tell you how managed to done so)
Yeah two stubborn and independent biotic babes, this can't end well! I prefer to pair Jack and Miranda together so I leave them alone. That said I wish I could make it clear in these conversation trees when I don't intend them to be romantic and I want to strike up a friendship even if they're compatible as a romance. Why can't male Shepard just be a mentor for both of them? Jack needs to learn to rely on other people more and Miranda needs her confidence boosted. It's the same thing with femshep and her male romance options. I'd like to be able to learn more about the Drell from an in character stand point. And because I mostly play paragon characters I feel Shepard would want to spend time with Thane since he's dying. I don't want him to misconstrue that with Femshep wanting a romance with him. I don't think a seperate "we're buds and I'm the leader so I want to make sure you're the best you can be" conversation tree is too much to ask.
I played as Fem Shepard which was really disappointing because I found both Jack and Miranda interesting characters, and you can’t establish love interest with them as a female (even though you can work all the way up to the commitment conversation, flirtation and all, and be turned away. Something I didn’t know about playing through the first time 🙃) I settled for some lesbian action with Kelly before getting some alien love action with Garrus. He’s not much in the looks department but he did bring me wine
Mass 3 play Female Shep and go after Samantha but custom make Shepherd to look just like Samantha you will get a Shower Scene and a bed scene before the final push ! 😅
I dont know about that. When you have someone as immature as Tali. Romancing her is like being with an underage N1 fangirl that has pictures of you all over her room.
I want to share a personal experience as a warning. If you romance Miranda in ME2, but dump her in ME3, she dies at the end of the Sanctuary mission. I did everything right *except* for that - and it was disappointing. No matter what options I chose in her final scene, it had the same result. Jack doesn't have that outcome, but Miranda's death is particularly upsetting.
Have you ever considered making a video about the various mods by the Mass Effect community? I have the entire trilogy on PC and wanted to see what was out there!!
I had a scenario in one of my playthroughs where you sleep with Jack (not a romance and doesn’t result in the romance scene ) and then still romanced Miranda. Jack approaches you in the mass effect 3 mission as if you had romanced her. Interesting stuff
Technically you can exp both, after suicide mission end it one and then go to the other. However it completely voids the first romance so in ME3 it’s like it never happened.
With the shadow broker dlc you can romance liara in all 3 games, and still romance someone in mass effect 2. Then in mass effect 3 it doesn’t negatively effect you. You still have the romance options in 3.
Good video man love your stuff. With the remaster round the corner, you should considering doing a video on a guide to getting the highest possible war assets in 3 from choices across all 3 games
There should be a secret scene unlocked by breaking off romances with every available romance option. A scene where the crew mates stage an intervention for Shepard.
This is an understandable outcome. However, I can't help but wish they'd gone the Geralt+Triss+Yennefer route. You know, where it seems like you're going to successfully snag them both, only for them to unite against you. It'd be hilarious to see Jack and Miranda resolve their differences in the interest of kicking Shepard's ass.
Approve of this as they are my favorites for romance options. But they definitely wrote the stories to reflect the animosity/friendships that develop out of that square. If you romance Tali - Jack gets Tali a tattoo because "Shepard will find it hot". Obviously Miranda and Jacks fight is already there. The fact that it only initiates after gaining loyalty from both Jack and Miranda is pretty telling. Tali is genuinely jealous of Miranda even if you romance only Tali. I was still picking up on vibes between Miranda and Shep in ME3 even though I never initiated romance with Miranda on that playthrough of ME2. Jack not so much. If you don't romance Jack - she becomes almost like a wingman for Tali's romance of Shep. Its cute.
Imo nothing really happens. In others opinion they bring it up in conversation and on one maybe two missions if you have both of them in a square they give each other sideway looks and sound a bit jealous. Now if one is on the normandy and the other one isn't. Basically nothing happen besides them asking if you want to be together again and that happens if you romanced two ppl or just one, the dialogue is the same.
Hey, Big Dan... here's an idea... In the Citadel DLC, during most encounters with multiple NPCs present, one will throw a dialogue line, usually funny. The character is definitely not 'random' but somehow decided as 'who your favorite is'. How do they elect that?
Im so mad about Jack in ME3... shes my favorite romance, Tali is probably the best one. But Jack is just... Jack. And then you barely see her in the game. Angers me every playthrough. She is the type of woman i always fall for irl 😂 minus the harsh and badass loyalty
Well I'm on my first playthrough on ME 2, I had a relationship with Miranda. From my second to now playthrough, my relationship is with Jack. Now i'm currently replaying Mass Effect 2, this time on Insanity difficulty and I just chose Miranda. I already played Mass Effect 3 by staying in a relationship with Jack. Now, I just started to replay ME 2 on Insanity and I chose to be with Miranda and then I'll carry it over to ME 3.
Hi, Big Dan! Thanks for the video. I’d like to see more Fallout 4 (and Fallout related) content on your channel. Something about various outcomes of some quests like Silver Shroud or Blind Betrayal. Or maybe something about factions. Hope you’ll read this.
The old 'in and out' can be done with Jack without commitments. Of course, it's down in the engine room against a wall. It doesn't interfere with any other romance. I managed to 'do' Miri and Liara also. My preferred partner is Liara. When an Asari biotic says she loves you, that ain't fooling around. "I'm forever yours.", was a hell of a goodbye.
Both romances are awesome, personally i prefer the cheerleader Miranda but when romancing Jack you touch her heart and its sweet. She deserves to be loved.
Hehe, I am a little too straight and single for a devoted male Shepard run so I always romance everyone. A bit awkward when the one who I've locked in then dies during Suicide Mission (yeah, Jack died. Oops) but when that happened Tali was game just like that. Picked Tali so I could keep her from Garrus. It's a whole thing. My female Shepard is devoted to Garrus above all 😊
I remembered I failed to romance Liara in ME1, so I aimed for Miranda in ME1, then I thought Jack could be friendly with me that I accidentally romanced her, then I also accidentally got her killed in the Suicide Mission. Thankfully I was able to romance Liara again in ME3 😆
Dude.. no other studio comes near oldschool BioWare when it comes to romance. “Who said anything about love? I’m just trying to get you into bed” Lmao best BioWare quote ever. Right up there with some Revan/Bastilla lines

With the shadow broker dlc you can romance liara in all 3 games, and still romance someone in mass effect 2. Then in mass effect 3 it doesn’t negatively effect you. You still have the romance options in 3.
"I make choices on the battlefield, not in the bedroom" Shepard has a way with women
Miranda: Promise me you won't die
Shepard: I WILL NEVER DIE
"I've got other options. You understand right?" Shepard with that abundance mindset!
Good video man love your stuff. With the remaster round the corner, you should considering doing a video on a guide to getting the highest possible war assets in 3 from choices across all 3 games
There should be a secret scene unlocked by breaking off romances with every available romance option. A scene where the crew mates stage an intervention for Shepard.
😂😂😂
6:28 okay, she tried to genuinely talk to you and you pull this card, this is a renegade material
This is an understandable outcome. However, I can't help but wish they'd gone the Geralt+Triss+Yennefer route. You know, where it seems like you're going to successfully snag them both, only for them to unite against you. It'd be hilarious to see Jack and Miranda resolve their differences in the interest of kicking Shepard's ass.
Instead of a love triangle, how about a love square with Tali, Miranda, and Jack?
Approve of this as they are my favorites for romance options. But they definitely wrote the stories to reflect the animosity/friendships that develop out of that square. If you romance Tali - Jack gets Tali a tattoo because "Shepard will find it hot". Obviously Miranda and Jacks fight is already there. The fact that it only initiates after gaining loyalty from both Jack and Miranda is pretty telling. Tali is genuinely jealous of Miranda even if you romance only Tali. I was still picking up on vibes between Miranda and Shep in ME3 even though I never initiated romance with Miranda on that playthrough of ME2. Jack not so much. If you don't romance Jack - she becomes almost like a wingman for Tali's romance of Shep. Its cute.
Love hexagon
tali is irritated by the "perfect cerberus cheerleader"
I absolutely love Shepards smile in the thumbnail
Wasn't expecting that "FUCK OFF!" from jack lmao I died 🤣
I’ve always wondered what would happen in ME3 if you romance someone in ME1 and someone else in ME2
Imo nothing really happens. In others opinion they bring it up in conversation and on one maybe two missions if you have both of them in a square they give each other sideway looks and sound a bit jealous. Now if one is on the normandy and the other one isn't. Basically nothing happen besides them asking if you want to be together again and that happens if you romanced two ppl or just one, the dialogue is the same.
Other than a "not so subtle" series of conversations between Ashley and Tali during the Geth Dreadnought, not much outside Citidel.
"We're going to have to break up with Jack"
The thought of that very idea scares me substantially.
8:23 Shephard looks like "Wait that's it, no sex??"
Hey, Big Dan... here's an idea... In the Citadel DLC, during most encounters with multiple NPCs present, one will throw a dialogue line, usually funny. The character is definitely not 'random' but somehow decided as 'who your favorite is'. How do they elect that?
Dan you're hilarious in this one man. Can't wait to see this channel blow up when LE comes out. Keep up the great work 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Im so mad about Jack in ME3... shes my favorite romance, Tali is probably the best one. But Jack is just... Jack. And then you barely see her in the game. Angers me every playthrough. She is the type of woman i always fall for irl 😂 minus the harsh and badass loyalty
I always love how Jack casually uses the word bitch
Well I'm on my first playthrough on ME 2, I had a relationship with Miranda. From my second to now playthrough, my relationship is with Jack. Now i'm currently replaying Mass Effect 2, this time on Insanity difficulty and I just chose Miranda. I already played Mass Effect 3 by staying in a relationship with Jack. Now, I just started to replay ME 2 on Insanity and I chose to be with Miranda and then I'll carry it over to ME 3.
I can't believe you did that to Jack.
Hi, Big Dan! Thanks for the video. I’d like to see more Fallout 4 (and Fallout related) content on your channel. Something about various outcomes of some quests like Silver Shroud or Blind Betrayal. Or maybe something about factions. Hope you’ll read this.
That Thumbnail is perfect!
Shepard: this is where the fun begins
Favorite conspiracy: they are the same person
Had that lock in convo Between Tali and Jack ...Tali dont play no games 😂😂
The old 'in and out' can be done with Jack without commitments. Of course, it's down in the engine room against a wall. It doesn't interfere with any other romance. I managed to 'do' Miri and Liara also. My preferred partner is Liara. When an Asari biotic says she loves you, that ain't fooling around. "I'm forever yours.", was a hell of a goodbye.
Thumbnail is just perfect XDDD
I feel like after watching this, Miranda is the best option due to the fact at least I might survive the giant love limbo....with Jack, no so much 💀
Oo! Now do videos of ME 1 romance triangles!
Both romances are awesome, personally i prefer the cheerleader Miranda but when romancing Jack you touch her heart and its sweet. She deserves to be loved.
"I make choices on the battlefield, not in the bedroom" is crazyyyy
"Im also technically undead"
Is the most underrated line EVER 😂😂
Hehe, I am a little too straight and single for a devoted male Shepard run so I always romance everyone. A bit awkward when the one who I've locked in then dies during Suicide Mission (yeah, Jack died. Oops) but when that happened Tali was game just like that. Picked Tali so I could keep her from Garrus. It's a whole thing. My female Shepard is devoted to Garrus above all 😊
Joker: "We have a Mako and a Hammerhead in the cargo bay, but NOT a Yokosuka MXY-7!"
I remembered I failed to romance Liara in ME1, so I aimed for Miranda in ME1, then I thought Jack could be friendly with me that I accidentally romanced her, then I also accidentally got her killed in the Suicide Mission. Thankfully I was able to romance Liara again in ME3 😆
try doing loyalty missions.they are kind of important if you want characters to actually live
doing jack like that was dirty.
“FUCK OFF”😂😂😂
Shepard have you heard the tragedy of geralt the chained?
Shepard about to get MeToo'd
Nothing against Miranda, but I always choose Jack. I just wished there was more romance/dialogue scenes with her in ME3.
Agreed
*Big Dan Shepherd walks into a room with both Miranda and Jack while romancing them both.*
"I should go."
The facial animations are the best part!
The thumbnail is priceless
Its refreshing that the characters are mature and move on when u break it off
Dude.. no other studio comes near oldschool BioWare when it comes to romance.
“Who said anything about love? I’m just trying to get you into bed”
Lmao best BioWare quote ever. Right up there with some Revan/Bastilla lines
