What’s more dangerous than a suicide mission through the Omega-4 Relay? How about getting romantically involved with two biotically charged babes who hate each other’s guts? Having multiple romances in Mass Effect 2 is just playing with fire lol - especially with Jack and Miranda. - Hry
I care about you, Ash- MIRANDA. DAMNIT.
Great reference, fuckin died remembering the original 😂
We`ll bang, okay? XDDDD
Double nice
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
That's me lol
Romanced Jack and Miranda
Joker: "I knew you had a death wish but..... Damn even I'm not that crazy."
Flixzone is how i met my first wife- God rest her soul wherever she is
If there was a threesome proposal, there would probably be a critical mission failure screen
@@nothingtobeconcernedabout7477 even Harbinger is terrified of those two
@@dragonkight64dragonslayer62 Secret Harbinger romance scene when?
This could get messy 👀
Imagine Kelly, Tali, Jack, Miranda, and Samara all coming to your room and be like “Shepard, you have to choose one of us.”
with that lineup Im not sure the normandy would still be in one piece
Shepard - I make choices on the battlefield, not in the bedroom.
[Locks door, puts on mood music, and starts undressing]
That played out exactly how you think it would.
@@iceman00behave Shepard: Hey, we'll bang, ok?
Shepard :"Jokes on you all, I m just gonna change sex in a minute or so."
"I make choices in the battle field, not in the bedroom."
I really need that on a t-shirt.
I'll buy one!
That quote on one side and "we'll bang ok" on the other lol
Haha this line of dialogue is gold.
"I don't use sex as a weapon. I use weapons as weapons."
@@Jovian999 I love her, but that is honestly the dumbest thing I have heard from a soldier other than we'll be home by Christmas.
"I've got options Jack"
This is easily the douchiest version of Shepard hahaha
😂😂😂 I couldn’t stop laughing at that
especially if said with that creepy smile he has.
"I just want to get you in bed, Miranda"
Girls be like “you mine” first off I’m a specter I belong to the citadel.
Oh no you don't want to go there, the stores will want to have a talk about how you need to choose one of them.
😂😂😂
@@shadenox8164 I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favourite store on the Citadel
Sigma maleshep grindset
And the whole galaxy.
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.
@@GeneralHonobi probably a holdover from when jack was intended to be a femshep romance as well
AND if you are a Female Shepard, you cant EVEN be Jacks friend :( she will always diss you
Heeeeey, not like that...
I understand you, my friend. ;-;
I feel that science was well served here. In ME1 the confrontation had the option of asking "Can't I have you both?" Ashley just walks away but if you asked Jack and Miranda that, I feel you would end up with your spine ripped out your body a la Mortal Kombat style 😄
Thats hot
It would be pretty great to have Shepard just keel over and bring up the "Critical Mission Failure" the moment you chose such an option.
@@Crabhand😄😄😄 "Miranda Wins" 😄
@@acousticmonkey2209 Please, Jack is a more powerful biotic than Miranda.
@@GothicElf68 😄 True.
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.”
Sharing is caring. Also, Miranda meant "i won't share" lol
I'm commander Shepard and this is my favorite comment on the video
I'm surprised the Normandy is intact lol
Yeah, so am I. That's probably why there is no confrontation scene at least with those two! lol
the upgrades were there to protect the normandy from the crew, the collectors are just a welcome afterthought.
@@juleswoodbury58 LOL
Only a biotic shepard can survive that threesome
To this day, I'm puzzled how the "Who said anything about love" is the top "paragon" option.
Technically if you're only interested in sex, its very paragon to be honest about it.
@@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.
@@GTAVictor9128 Its a problem of all RPG games. Better wording of options would do so much good. Sometimes its even ridiculous like having written "shit" when the character says "fuck" - totally couldnt have used the right word there.
People are making fun of it a lot like here:
czcams.com/video/qLnbFji-O0I/video.html
@@freespace353 Oh I'm sure it is a joke. Was just saying.
He's just teasing her - he's clearly interested in her for more than sex
"For the purposes of science."
Cuts to the council "Oh, we have dismissed this claim." I nearly choked on my snack. lol
I was dying myself 🤣🤣🤣
cringe
That fuck off was amazing! I love Jack
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
I romanced Jack years ago as paragon, maybe I misremember things but it left me feeling like you're constantly begging her to open up to you.
@@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.
If only there was a gay one 😅 but I respect their decision to make her straight
@@jbear3478 there is
This video comes up and it's like Geralt with Triss and Yennefer all over again.
Yeah, but you get them in their underwear, and they get to chain you too a bed.
@@ChrisTian-ed8ol And leave you there for Dandelion to make fun of you.
Except both ladies in the Witcher are more sensible.
Who here accidentally invited Jack to their cabin m, panicked and told her to leave?
You get free unlimited F-bombs when you do 😂
wait what? 😅 sorry i never romanced her
I still absolutely love the Jack romance. I had forgotten about Shepard's "I'm also technically undead :P" joke until now.
I just romanced Jack for the first time and I LOVED it. It’s the reason I made different male Shepards because I like to romance Miranda and Tali. ✨💞
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.
@@TheDancerMacabre Maleshep is awesome. Not everyone has to have epic line delivery, lmaoo.
@@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.
@@ZangetsuDDR I personally think he fits the voice very well in 2 and 3. Maleshep is an awesome role to play.
It wasn't the collectors that destroyed the Normandy it was jack and mirandas cat fight
Awards purple heart medal...
Critical mission failure.
Just remember "take pictures"
Forget that, record a video!😁
@@simongvs Kasumi : “I know there’s a market for that”
As much as those two love each other, it never crossed my mind to get them both it bed. Like I said, "I don't plan on dying twice."
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
Miranda: "I won't be shared."
Shepard:"You're not the one being shared. I am."
Garrus is Shepard ' s true love.
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.
@@diehgo_sp definitely 😂
To be fair, he is the only one who stuck around in all three games
@@nikik5567 And Tali didn't?
@@nikik5567 Liara was technically there. As she said. Even when their lovers pass, the asari still carries their lover with them
whats weird is Miranda says she wont be shared but in reality she's the one sharing Shep.
Missed that, can you explain ?
@@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.
@@copilots3159 eh, they’re also technically being shared with the other girl. So it makes sense
@@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.
Was thinking the same! Should've said she won't be sharing
"I make choices on the battlefield, not in the bedroom." 🤣
The best thing about the Mass Effect series is how many avenues you can go down depending on your choices. Unfortunately I'm a boring fuck so I play it safe and choose the same options with each playthrough because that's how I wanna play. I've been playing this series since it started and there's so much I missed out on...good thing you make these videos so I can finally see what happened.
Same here. There's very few deviation on my Trilogy playthrough. Later on I realized there's a term "paragade" that perfectly applies to my playstyle.
If you make the same choices, why bother playing through again? Unless you just want to see the remaster legendary edition.
The fact that all of us here are afraid of selecting a new unknown options, or a mean options, just shows how much the game makes you care, how great the writing is.
nah I love both paths but I'm more hesitant when it comes to certain choices like killing wrex in me1 or destroying Dr. Maleon's data in me2 due to personal attachments or war assets in me3 respectively
That’s the stupidest thing I ever read
What If You Romance BOTH JACK & MIRANDA
> I have many files, pictures, vids and folders that proves the possibility of such a brave action
I miss the dual confrontation that could happen in ME1
Eh
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.
*salutes*
And dinner with Kelly (Liara doesn't count, too easy) I made the 5 girls in that order : Liara, Jack, Kelly, Miranda, Tali
What the hell do you have to do to pull that off?
@@CabageBeans Way too much work. But I respect that.
@@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.
Miranda: I won’t be shared.
Shepard: You’re right, I will.
Of course Jack wouldn’t take the break well, she wanted the captains long sword but got beaten out by the cheerleader
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.
Oh shit so i should have broken up with her 😂😂 well that sucks
This was super useful during my “maximize war assets playthrough” where I also wanted to romance Miranda. This little loophole helped a lot
Jack is actually one of my favorite characters after this...so much emotion
I'm also technically undead.
Most badass line .
Ever
The best triangle attempt was in The Witcher 3. The result of trying to be a horndog was probably one of the funniest moments in gaming!
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
Cerberus doesn’t have the budget for Lazarus Project 2: Electric Boogaloo.
@@SynchronizorVideos"sorry but Shepherd isn't salvageable this time"
@@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
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.
Spreading the love around...
You can only do it as maleshep, IIRC.
Imagine someone asking "okay so who here's had sex with Shepard?" and literally all of the women just simultaneously raise their hand.
“Don’t you die Shepard.” Ugh ... damn ninjas are cutting onions again ...
Jack has the most girliest attitude in the game
Well she was abused as a child so it makes perfect sense
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.
Jack sucks
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)
Hehehe 🤭🌸🦋 Shepard's face in thumbnail is just plain devious.. thats right the thumbnail got me
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
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 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.
Literally had this issue. Then I found out that Liara was still an option from the Shadow Broker DLC. 🤷🏽♂️
Shepard's heart belongs to the reapers, no one else
This was was WAY more entertaining than super seducer!
"Hey Jack!"
*"FUCK OFF!!!!"*
god I miss my ex...
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!!
Thanks for pursuing the choices others like me would never attempt lol
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
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 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
"but we have dismissed that claim"
epic editing dan
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.
Miranda: Promise me you won't die
Shepard: I WILL NEVER DIE
I love how jack is SO rude and mad when shepard tries to talk to her again
"We have dismissed that claim" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well played sir
Thumbnail is just perfect XDDD
I absolutely love Shepards smile in the thumbnail
That Thumbnail is perfect!
Shepard: this is where the fun begins
"I make choices on the battlefield, not in the bedroom" Shepard has a way with women
Great thumbnail!
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 ! 😅
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?
9:21 "I make choices on the battlefield, not in the bedroom". I'll have to remember to use that line IRL.
The facial animations are the best part!
8:23 Shephard looks like "Wait that's it, no sex??"
Oo! Now do videos of ME 1 romance triangles!
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.
6:28 okay, she tried to genuinely talk to you and you pull this card, this is a renegade material
1:28 that face is scarier than the Reapers.
He looks like he’s been gassed by The Joker (DC)
Oh im. Definitely interested
Wasn't expecting that "FUCK OFF!" from jack lmao I died 🤣
"I've got other options. You understand right?" Shepard with that abundance mindset!
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.
Dan, you are the man😂😂😂
The thumbnail is priceless
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"
"We're going to have to break up with Jack"
The thought of that very idea scares me substantially.
I always love how Jack casually uses the word bitch
Do you have a video with the way Ashley and Jaiden in ME3 reacting to the previous relationships in ME2?
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.
😂😂😂
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.
Oh god his eyes flashed like Conrad Verner at 1:29
"I make choices on the battlefield, not in the bedroom" is crazyyyy
This cracks me up. It's like a soap opera.
Am I the only one who pictured the opening of mass effect two when I read the title l just had visions of the Normandy on fire?
I admit to multiple playthroughs just so I can see all of the romance options.
Lmaooo, Sheperd got that dog in him...I love it!! 🤣🤣🤣
“I’ve got other options, Jack.” Holy fuck, I didn’t even know that was a possible quote
Shepard have you heard the tragedy of geralt the chained?
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.
Shepard's face in the thumbnail lol
Had that lock in convo Between Tali and Jack ...Tali dont play no games 😂😂
Jeez! Archie called, he said stop stringing them along and make a decision
I had a Shepard that didn't quite "romance" Jack, but what he did with her was enough to be referenced in Mass Effect 3. That Shepard (named Jack because I'm a Lost fan and didn't know a Jack was joining the team) romanced Miranda (and Ashley in ME1), rekindled with Miranda (locking out Ashley) when this playthrough was before anymore DLC came out (so just Horizon & the holographic goodbye, no party 😥).
Perhaps in my next Mele playthrough, I'll tryout the Fem Shep with Jack or Miranda mod. Description mentions restored some dialogue here, copied some dialogue from Elsweyr in the game there. Got some dialogue like that in Skyrim mods, works okay there
doing jack like that was dirty.
“FUCK OFF”😂😂😂
Romancing Jack just feels wrong... she's a super traumatized woman smh.
Miranda: "this is crazy, talking about love on a suicide mission!"
Shepherd: "i think your butt is a bit more important....
WE BANG, OKAY?"
I cut of jack after I accidentally locked her in, now I'm wondering what will happen with her in ME3. I heard that you can mess it up with jack somehow so that she turns into some reaper monster in ME3. This is my first play-through so I hope I haven't messed it up completely.
