![]() ![]() All you can do is visit him, and watch him slowly die. ![]() Once a fierce fighter in your squad, the advanced stages of the disease leave Thane bedridden in a hospital on the Citadel. Once you pick up the third game, the Mass Effect writers decide to beat the living shit out of your Thane-smitten heart without your consent. Throughout the second game, you woo him, bed him, and repair his relationship with his son (and I guess become a sort of an intergalactic step-mom?) But the good times come to an end after the finale of the second game. You meet the tenderhearted drell assassin in Mass Effect 2, where he is suffering from the beginning stages of a degenerative lung disease called Kepral’s Syndrome that only affects his species. Thane is a deep, thoughtful, and spiritual person. If you’re into tragic romances that bloom and die as quickly as beautifully as a morning glory, then Thane is your man. There’s even a hovercar chase where Shepard takes the wheel and Liara backseat drives in the most adorable way possible. It’s a mission that features Liara and Shepard alone, and it’s the ultimate space lesbian story arc to end all space lesbian stories. Liara’s romance especially shines in the DLC content Lair The Shadow Broker. Now THAT is a space lesbian relationship for the ages. ![]() And the best part? She’s pansexual, so you can date her whether you are a male or female Commander Shepard. And why wouldn’t you? She’s beautiful, she’s strong, she’s courageous, she’s sweet, she’s supportive. By that point, you are actually dating her in real life. If you’re doing 100% completion on each game, you’ve probably spent over 50 hours with her. When you reach the end of the third game and make the “final decision” and the flashbacks start playing, you can bet there’s gonna be waterworks when you see her face because of all the history you have with her. That means that you fight Saren with her, you destroy Sovereign with her, you die and come back to her, you go on the suicide mission to the Collector Base with her, you assemble a galactic army with her. When you set your little commander’s heart on Liara, you get to be with her throughout the entire trilogy. She’s the only character on this list who is a romance option from the jump. Liara T’Soni is Mass Effect‘s official Best Girl for a reason. A small price to pay for interstellar love, am I right? Liara T’Soni (EA) So you only have to play through the games a measly five times to experience them all. And since I can’t have a polyamorous relationship with my entire crew (as much as I’d like to, think of the morale boost!) I’ve picked the best romance options from Mass Effect. But the only bad part (or good part if you’re a “rocket fuel tank half full” person) is that there are too many sexy people and aliens to romance in this particular game. And the best thing about these particular video games? I can romance space boys too. What game(s) is that? Only the legendary Mass Effect Trilogy (sorry Andromeda I don’t like you like that). And though I don’t have the Jeff Bezos money to afford to bring myself and a hot lady into orbit, I can do that virtually in a video game. You know why? Because the only thing better than reading about a sapphic space tryst is being in one. No, I’m not talking about Sci-Fi romance novels, NOT EVEN THESE LESBIAN ONES. And by, “the air,” I mean the cold vacuum of space. ![]()
