If you've read my Mass Effect 3 review, you know that the Milky Way galaxy is a stressful place. The Geth and Quarians are fighting again, the Rachni are up to their usual hijinks and it seems everybody is indoctrinated. The only people you can count on are the lovely ladies and gentlemen of the Normandy SR2 who promiscuously walk around like they own the place. How am I supposed to not look? Put some friggin' clothes on Garrus. You may be one of Mass Effect 3's best squad members, but you're being inappropriate.

The fate of the galaxy may rest on my shoulders, but I'll be damned if I don't have some sexy time. There's always time for sexy time. Check out my Mass Effect 3 romance guide and make sure you don't bottle all that frustration up, otherwise we might have one of Mass Effect's shocking moments on our hands.

Jack

Available To: Male Commander Shepard

Location: Grissom Academy (Only If Romanced In ME2)

When Shepard answers the distress call from Grissom Academy, a startling but exciting discovery is made. Jack has been placed in charge of the biotic academy and has actually been playing nice. After rescuing the students from Cerberus, Shepard can find Jack in Purgatory, blowing off steam. If Jack was a romantic interest in Mass Effect 2, the relationship can be picked up where they left off.

Unfortunately, only the male Shepards get to take part in Jack's wild ride.

Thane Krios

Available To: Female Commander Shepard

Location: Citadel, Huerta Memorial Hospital (Only If Romanced In ME2)

Thane can be found in Huerta Memorial Hospital after Primarch Victus is rescued from Menae. Shepard will receive an e-mail from Thane stating he would like to see him. When met, and if a relationship was previously put into motion, Shepard can interrupt Thane's welcome with a kiss. Unfortunately, this beautiful moment is only available to the FemShep's in the crowd. Sorry, bros.

Thane is in the final stages of Kepral's Syndrome, so if you want to get Drell'd, you need to do it now.

Garrus Vakarian

Available To: Female Commander Shepard

Location: Menae (Only If Romanced in ME2)

The first hour of Mass Effect 3 is usually accompanied by a constant asking of, "where the hell is Garrus?" Whether you're looking to rekindle a romance or not, Garrus should be by your side always. For FemShep players, rekindling a romance is just a little extra bonus. After finding and rescuing the newly-appointed Primarch Victus from Menae, Garrus rejoins the ranks of the Normandy. If spoken to, and if a preexisting romance was already established in ME2, Garrus will ask where Shepard and his relationship stands.

Go on, kiss his scar. You know you want to. If you don't, Tali moves in for the kill. Losing your Turian love to a Quarian is the worst, so act fast.

Tali

Available To: Male Commander Shepard

Location: Normandy, Combat Information Center (Only if Romanced in ME2)

When the Quarians request Shepard's help fighting the Geth, Tali walks on board, strutting her stuff in style. If there is a preexisting relationship from ME2, Tali can immediately be called up to the Captain's Quarters for some "catching up." Unfortunately, only male Commander Shepards can take part in the near-death experience known as Quarian love-making.

Later, if you choose Tali's side during the the retaking of Rannoch, she will leave a present in your room. Lo and behold, it's Tali without her mask on! The picture is a stock photo, which can be easily found online, but we'll take anything at this point.

Liara T'Soni

Available To: Both Male and Female Commander Shepard

Location: Mars Archives

After dealing with the nuisance on Mars, Liara joins up with the Normandy crew and brings all her new Shadow Broker equipment along with her. Dating the number one source of all information in the galaxy has a few benefits. If a relationship was already established in the other titles, Liara will ask Shepard where they stand, giving Shepard the opportunity to rekindle the relationship. For new players, after a few reassuring words before and after missions, Liara will eventually ask to be invited up to the Captain's Quarters to show you a project she's been working on.

Keep up with your sweet talking and Liara will ask to meet you on the Citadel, where she'll ask if you're ready to commit to one blue female. If you see blue babies in your future, tell her yes. If not, tell her to get her creepy head tentacles the hell out of here.
