Aargh, I’m so done

I’m so done with people who think that just because Liara has extra content that’s she’s Shepard’s canon romance.

No. There is no canon romance.

Yes, she can be romanced in all 3 games. Yes, she is undoubtedly in love with Shepard whether you romance her or not. Yes, she is responsible for Shepard’s body falling into Cerberus hands, which leads to them getting resurrected. Yes, she has her own DLC in ME2.

But none of this means that she is the ‘canon’ romance.

The whole deal with Mass Effect is that we, as the player, get to chose who Shepard is, what their choices are, what actions they take. This includes who Shepard chooses to be (or not be) with.

Im not trying to take anything away from the Liara romance, hey if you love her, go for it.

But please don’t invalidate the other romances so you can feel like your choices are better than anyone else’s.

Canon romance: Shepard and every possible ‘what could go wrong?’ scenario. Those two just can’t get enough of each other.
