Diana (Romance Guide)
While not a traditional squadmate, Diana is a character with whom Commander Shepard can pursue a romantic relationship in Mass Effect 3, specifically through the 'Citadel' DLC. This guide details how to initiate and progress this romance, offering a unique and personal conclusion to Shepard's journey.
The romance with Diana is exclusive to the 'Citadel' DLC and becomes available during the party sequence. To initiate the romance, Shepard must engage in conversations with Diana throughout the DLC's events. Key moments involve interacting with her at the casino and during other social gatherings on the Citadel.
During the party, Shepard will have opportunities to speak with Diana. The dialogue choices made during these interactions are crucial for advancing the romantic storyline. It's important to be supportive and express genuine interest in her well-being and aspirations. Specific dialogue options will appear that clearly indicate a romantic progression.
Unlike some other romances that span the entire trilogy, the romance with Diana is contained within the 'Citadel' DLC. It offers a more intimate and personal conclusion, focusing on Shepard's life after the Reaper war. The culmination of this romance often involves a heartfelt conversation and a shared moment that solidifies their bond.
It's worth noting that pursuing a romance with Diana does not preclude Shepard from having had a romance with another character in the previous games or earlier in Mass Effect 3. However, the 'Citadel' DLC's narrative is designed to provide a satisfying conclusion regardless of previous romantic entanglements, offering a chance for closure or a new beginning.
To ensure the romance progresses smoothly, pay attention to dialogue prompts and make choices that al with a romantic interest. The 'Citadel' DLC is designed to be a celebration of Shepard's journey and the relationships forged along the way, and the romance with Diana is a key part of that celebratory experience.
