I had this happen to me as well and like yourself I was puzzled. I'm just curious about this and wondering if I'm missing something really stupid and obscure.Ībout Ash vs Liara. Anyway, this isn't exactly a major concern, especially since I've already finished this playthrough. Online guides haven't been very helpful with this, because they all seem to operate on the same assumption I was- namely, that you cannot possibly mess up the romances by accident. If it's not that, the only other thing I can possibly think of is that there's some random dialogue option that ends Ashley's romance path without making it even remotely clear that this is happening. Especially since it had always seemed to me that the only way to screw up a romance in this game was to never talk to the character in question or basically tell them you hate them.ĭoes anyone know if the scene on the Citadel with Kaiden and Ash looking out the window with Shepard is necessary for completing their romances? I know that I accidentally missed that scene my last couple playthroughs because I had already met Garrus or Wrex and swapped them into my party before I got to that section of the Citadel.


It's not a super big deal- I've never tried a "sticking with Liara all the way through ME3" series playthrough, and I know I could just use a save game editor if I really wanted to change my save state- but it's getting frustrating that this has happened to me twice in a row now and I have no idea why. This time, more or less the same thing happened, except I definitely got the Ash romance dialogue where she talks about her family and the conversation ends with Shepard saying something about having something to look forward to after the mission. The last time I played I wound up locked in with Liara somehow, and never got some of Ash's romance dialogues or the confrontation scene. Both times I got the confrontation scene with the two of them. So, I've just finished ME1 for the fourth time (first time on PC).
