10 Most Passionate Video Game Couples

Commander Shepard, you dirty dog! As longterm fans of the series will know, the player is able to choose which gender Commander Shepard is playable as. In turn, this actually affects who you can pursue a relationship with.

For the sake of clarity, let’s say you picked male Shepard.

The primary love interest most will be aware of is gunnery chief, Ashley Williams. The player is able to build up a rapport with her, before things turn much racier. And at least initially, she is the only character vying for Shepard’s affections. That is until, a certain blue alien hops aboard.

Asari scientist Liara makes her intentions known very quickly, with Shepard then able to pursue both women simultaneously. Unsurprisingly however, this comes back to bite him in the ass.

The appropriately named cutscene: ‘Two’s company, three’s a crowd’ sees Shepard lambasted by the two women and forced to decide only one to pursue further.

If the player chooses Ashley, they are able to experience the now infamous love scene, that actually got the game banned in Singapore due to its explicit nature. Steamy conclusions then, do sometimes come with their drawbacks.
