Liara is one Mass Effect 1's major complications when it comes to Romance. This is when you'll get the Romance Scene, unless you turn Ashley away with Renegade choices. Once you have a Locked In Romance, then when you go to Ilos and start the one-way ticket to the end of the game, Ashley will approach Shepard in their quarters. This is when your Romance with Ashley will be Locked In, and it will happen unless you consistently pick Renegade options and be abrasive to her.

If you want to continue the Romance with Ashley, you'll need to pick 'Rescue Ashley' so that she can live.Īfter you complete all four Mission Worlds and return to the Citadel, the Normandy will be grounded, and Ashley will appear to comfort Shepard while stuck on the ship. At a certain point you'll be asked to rescue either Ashley or Kaidan: one of them will be at an AA Tower, while the other will be at the makeshift bomb. Towards the end of Virmire is where things get complicated. If you talk with her again, you'll have a more direct conversation on your relationship, although at the train can't be stopped in this exchange. So long as you haven't been abrasive to her before and right now, it's impossible to displease her and the Romance will be progressed. Pick 'We will' or 'Oh?' to progress the Romance.Īfter the third Mission World, Ashley will talk about her grandfather and why his legacy has held her career down. Once you do that, Ashley will allude to you two being something more.

Avoid picking 'Keep it to yourself' or 'Are you a fanatic?' to not upset her. Assuming you do that, you'll then talk about her Christianity. At the end she'll recite some Alfred Tennyson avoid picking 'Bored now' or 'What's this crap?'. At the end is where you start progressing the Romance: pick 'What about me?' to do so.Īfter the second Mission World, Ashley will talk about her military family, including a lengthy story about her sister. You'll want to avoid picking 'You're out of line!' since that will forcefully shut down the conversation. At this point, you have an extended conversation with her regarding her mistrust of aliens and her military service. You aren't able to progress the Romance for real however until you complete your first Mission World (either Therum, Noveria or Feros).
