Every Mass Effect 2 Companion Romance Option

Mass Effect 2 gives Shepard a total of six romance options among their main companions, with three female squad members vying for male Shepard’s attention and three male squad members interested in female Shepard. Though there are several other romanceable characters in Mass Effect 2, only six of them will give players the Paramour achievement for developing a relationship.

Though Mass Effect 2 was a groundbreaking sequel that, for many players, exceeded the first game in terms of story and mechanics, some players may be disappointed by the lack of same-sex romance options – especially since they’re available in all of the other Mass Effect games. However, the relationship choices in Mass Effect 2 are still well-developed and emotionally gripping, so they’re worth the time if the player is feeling romantically inclined.

With six great romance options to choose from, it can be difficult for Shepard to settle down with just one character. Here is every Mass Effect 2 companion romance option.

Mass Effect 2 Romance Option for Male Shepard: Miranda

Miranda Lawson is a human Cerberus operative who was genetically engineered to be the perfect human in every way, though she has a very chilly attitude towards Shepard and the rest of the Normandy’s crew at first. Completing her loyalty mission and supporting her in arguments with other crew members will gain her trust and allow a male Shepard to develop a romantic relationship with Miranda.

Mass Effect 2 Romance Option for Female Shepard: Jacob

Jacob Taylor is a human Cerberus operative and former Alliance marine who joins the Normandy’s crew after helping Shepard escape the attack on Cerberus at the beginning of Mass Effect 2. Though Jacob doesn’t initially show any interest in a female Shepard, he will pursue her quite persistently after his loyalty mission.

Mass Effect 2 Romance Option for Male Shepard: Jack

Mass Effect 2’s Jack, also known as Subject Zero, is a powerful human biotic who was kidnapped by Cerberus as a baby so they could conduct experiments on her.

Romancing her isn’t easy because she’s tough, abrasive, and doesn’t trust anyone on the crew, but if a male Shepard is bluntly honest with her and supports her when she needs it, Jack will pursue a relationship.

Mass Effect 2 Romance Option for Female Shepard: Garrus

Garrus Vakarian is a turian who joins the Normandy in Mass Effect 1 and stays a loyal crewmember through all of the original games. Garrus’s attraction to a female Shepard makes him awkward and uncomfortable, but after his loyalty mission he’s able to move past his issues and share his feelings with her.

Mass Effect 2 Romance Option for Male Shepard: Tali

Tali’Zorah vas Neema is a @uarian technician who works with Shepard in Mass Effect1-3. During the second game, Tali has a noticeable crush on male Shepard, so starting a romance with her is simply a matter of telling her the feelings are mutual. She even puts her health at risk by removing her suit to get intimate with Shepard.

Mass Effect 2 Romance Option for Female Shepard: Thane

Thane Krios is a drell assassin with a terminal disease who joins Shepard’s crew in Mass Effect 2 hoping to assuage his guilt by doing some good before he dies. After a female Shepard completes Thane’s loyalty mission, he opens up to her about his disease and his past, and they share a passionate, romantic moment.

Mass Effect 2 forces players to make many difficult choices, including who to pursue as a romance option. Regardless of Shepard’s gender, they have a loyal squad full of interesting and complicated characters to choose from.
