Trainer Mass Effect 2

[Carri Seargent]

Somy Shepard been romancing Liara since ME1, and after taking a brief detour with Thane in ME2 I told her at the beginning of ME3 that it was over and I wanted to focus on a relationship with her exclusively. (I have always played a FemShep btw.) I guess she couldn't really blame me for having a fling with Thane; I mean, the man WAS dying and all...Plus, she was too chicken to join our little suicide mission in ME2, so I was left with no other appealing options.

Now, unfortunately for Liara (and later, me), my yeoman Samantha Traynor sent Shepard an email asking to come up to her cabin for what I thought was going to to be a friendly game of chess. Someone this promptly took a turn for the unexpected and I soon found myself watching the two potential chess-mates having weird lesbian shower sex. "Hmm..." I thought. What happened to the chess game?

So, after this little affair, I immediately went down to talk to Liara in the crew quarters; I guess I was feeling guilty? But really, I was just checking to see if I pissed her off and if I had ruined my relationship chances with her. She gave me a canned response like "Hello Shepard" or something like that, so I went on my way thinking everything was fine. I had gotten away with my little affair. So, I continued on with the task at hand, which at the time was to go to the Citadel and talk to the Salarian councilor, etc, etc..Well, after that went through, I again, went to talk to Liara just to be absolutely sure I was still okay. Another canned response. So it seemed I really was going to get away with it. The computer is too dumb to know that I cheated on my romancing choice, I thought. Next, I continued to do some misc missions.

Seven and a half hours and several missions later, I go down to talk to Liara like I normally do for all crew members after a mission. She greets me with this: "I heard about you and Samatha, Shepard." "Oh fudge!" I'm thinking. She then says something about how she isn't interested in games anymore and that it is effectively over between us. Shepard mutters something inconsequential, and I'm just sitting there slack-jawed, cursing myself in my head. I just wasted 7 and a half hours of game play all because I had lesbian shower sex with my yeoman during what was supposed to be a fun filled night of chess!

So, now I'm re-playing through these seven and half hours again, constantly thinking to myself how stupid I was. I guess i should have known better. I mean, she IS the Shadow Broker. She was bound to have found out. Long story short, and some advice to Shepard's with wandering eye's: Don't cheat on your main romance partner. It only leads to heartache.

I also find this strange, because I was able to cheat on Thane in ME2 with my other yeoman at the time, Kelly Chambers. I was also able to do some necking with him in ME3 when he first shows up in the hospital, which Liara never found out about. Unless I learn 22 hours down the line that she does in-fact find out about that and I'll have to basically restart the whole game. I guess Bioware figured out that we were having flings with our yeoman and put a stop to it in ME3. Time that should have been spent writing a better ending, from what I gather. (No spoilers please, I still haven't finished 3...I'm too busy cheating of my partners and finding out that they don't like that and having to replay massive segments of game play.)

I thought I was choosing chess. I don't exactly remember what the options were, but I do remember them being pretty damn ambiguous about it and was unexpectedly greeted with weird polygonal shower sex.

You dont need to replay 7hours, I was with Liara in the ME1, then Thane in ME2, and back to Liara in the ME3, but in the beginningof the game, in the citadel, I accidentally kiss Thane ( "lets go somewhere private" wasnt for chat), she confronted me, but then we made peace later, and got the sex scene and achievements...

Actually, my Shepard actually played a game of chess without having sex. I also had a private interview with Diana Allers *cringe* without having sex. I could continue down this line for two other characters that tried to get between myself and Liara, but I won't.

Yeah, I remember the dialogue w/Traynor as a pretty clear choice. Sex or chess was offered pretty bluntly me thinks. I passed in hopes of somehow fixing my very early response to Liara that we were finished due to my new relationship w/Jack in ME2, who....well let's just say that she was a dead end for me ;). Never got back into Liara's good graces. Next playthrough I guess.

Honestly though, the romance stuff is not even the thing that gets to me emotionally about the three game continuity. It's seeing the scenes with me and Garrus after playing through almost three games with him that makes me all misty eyed. BROS FOR LIFE, GARRUS. BROS FOR LIFE.

I romance'd Liara in ME1, then Tali in ME2. When I played Shadow Broker, Liara was not happy about it, and at the end of the DLC we had a little closure chat that strongly implied our romantic relationship was done.

BUT THEN, when I meet her again in ME3, she acts like as if that conversation never happened and again asks about me and Tali's ME2 relationship, which I then say is over. So, then, I stayed loyal to Liara through ME3 and got to have dream sex once again.

Goddamnit, I did the same thing too! Only I knew full well what was coming (AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH), I just never knew it was actually going to be a committed relationship and I figured she was only there to give me lap dances like Kelly. I felt bad, and it felt awkward how quickly things are brushed over and how me n Samantha are like a pair of rabbits all of a sudden. I wish there would of been a conversation or something so I could back out of it. My own fault for being such a whore. I shouldn't of gotten all cozy with Kelly either. Shame, because the Liara romance is genuinely pretty touching.

For my second playthrough, I've imported my fellow who also boned up some blue bunions, but then switched to Tali in ME2 and stayed true with Tali for ME3. So far there's a lot more innuendo (especially during the Geth dreadnought)... it's kinda awkward actually. Shepard more than ever sounds like some school boy; I half expect they'll be passing each other notes during debriefing.

This is my gripe with how the romance options work is that, you talk to anyone and you want to be Paragon it just automatically seems like you're hitting on them. Which is pretty stupid. You should be able to be friendly with these folks without wanting them as a love interest at all.

Sorry, sweetheart I didn't think it was going to be this big 'thing'. I just thought it would be some fun on the side! I mean, uh, I didn't even want to, I thought we were playing chess and then the next thing you know I was eating her pussy! I didn't have a choice! You have to believe me!

You say you're a female Shepard, but your bullshit excuses reveal you as a full blown dude.

You crazy! Them Asari can get you off right IN YOUR BRAIN. Did you see the Liara skin-e-max scene? She literally bangs Shepard's brains out. Now if Asari were real... you'd never go back to Humans, no matter what. Asari are SEX AND DRUGS rolled into one.

I actually dumped Liara for Tali and regretted it a lot. Liara grew up a lot from me banging out some easy broad in ME1 to her joining me in ME3. I dumped her early in ME3 but after the first serious conversation that I had with her it became very clear that I had made a grave error. Liara has massive character growth from the giddy nerd I fucked in ME1. The chats on the Citadel and about her time capsule made me really feel regret about having broken up with her, especially when it was with my "William Sheperd" who I try to make do everything I would do in real life. It's probably asking too much since this is an action rpg and not a romantic harem drama rpg, but I really wish they didn't ask me to make that hard choice so early. When Tali came back, after frickin abandoning me forever, she was still really silly and goofy and like a high school girl and that was just... ughh. No. Tali seems like the worst option. Every other female I had conversations with seemed like a way better choice for my Shepherd and the way the voice actor says his dialog it often sounds like he's trying to make a pass at them, but alas, the romance options are limited.

As my first playthrough is with a male shep, who told Liara up front "Whoa lady, I'm not a one woman/unisex blue alien with boobs thing man." (although I did look up the possible romance options afterwards and thought hmmm... that might've been a tragic mistake) I had to do a little, ahem, research to see the scene in question and I'm gonna have to call bs on the whole "Really I only thought we were going to play a game of chess!" defense. You are a horndog admit it!

Conventional wisdom suggests that exercise training with a personal trainer (PTr) is more beneficial for improving health-related fitness than training alone. However, there are no published data that confirm whether fitness club members who exercise with a PTr in the fitness club setting obtain superior results compared with self-directed training. We hypothesized that club members randomized to receive an evidence-based training program would accrue greater improvements in lean body mass (LBM) and other fitness measures than members randomized to self-training. Men, aged 30-44 years, who were members of a single Southern California fitness club were randomized to exercise with a PTr administering a nonlinear periodized training program (TRAINED, N = 17) or to self-directed training (SELF, N = 17); both groups trained 3 days per week for 12 weeks. Lean body mass was determined by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Secondary outcomes included muscle strength 1 repetition maximum (1RM), leg power (vertical jump), and aerobic capacity (V[Combining Dot Above]O2max). TRAINED individuals increased LBM by 1.3 (0.4) kg, mean (SEM) vs. no change in SELF, p = 0.029. Similarly, significantly greater improvements were seen for TRAINED vs. SELF in chest press strength (42 vs. 19%; p = 0.003), peak leg power (6 vs. 0.6%; p < 0.0001), and V[Combining Dot Above]O2max (7 vs. -0.3%; p = 0.01). Leg press strength improved 38 and 25% in TRAINED and SELF, respectively (p = 0.14). We have demonstrated for the first time in a fitness club setting that members whose training is directed by well-qualified PTrs administering evidence-based training regimens achieve significantly greater improvements in LBM and other dimensions of fitness than members who direct their own training.
