    So I picked up ME2 on PS3 yesterday and I decide to play it the way I did on 360. I am playing as a good Shepard and picked Liara as my love interest. When I finally get access to the ship I go to my quarters and who the hell is in the picture on my desk? That fool Kaiden is in the picture. Now I know I picked Liara as my love interest and Ashley was my only other option. I don't even think the male shepard can romance another guy in the first ME so I have no idea whats going on. I didn't kill him either so I can't play it off as a memorial to him. I was thinking some how some way I messed up somewhere and thought about starting over. I decided to just keep going and see how the scenes with Liara and Kaiden play out and hope something is just wrong with the photo. Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so did all your scenes (if you got that far) play out as they should? I am hoping it is just some kind of funky glitch.

    Yeah, it's got to either be a glitch, or something they changed. I read that at the beginning, Liara always appears, regardless of who (if anyone) you romanced. I know that if you romance no one, there's no picture there.

    Sounds like you've got a sort of Brokeback thing going on, maybe I should pick up the PS3 version and try to retroactively get Ashley in bed with my FemShep.

    I always thought it was kinda weird that there are lesbians in Mass Effect, but not gay guys. Not that I'm complaining, it's just weird.

    I think the crew of the Normandy is playing a practical joke on you. Kill them all.

    Ashley is way too closed-minded for that, that fucking bitch.

    Perhaps PS3 Shepherd feels more sorry for the person he told to die rather than the person he boned?
     
    My XBox Shepherd can beat up your PS3 Shepherd!  That's right, I said it!

    I noticed this as well, but I'm wondering if they changed it to be who you sacrificed?  Someone test this theory out...sacrifice Ashley and see if she shows up?

    I noticed after I made the choice to sacrifice Kaiden that there was a panel in which Shepard is seen standing near a desk on which a framed picture of Kaiden sat. I bet your guess is correct.

    @MagusMaleficus: Perhaps they thought it was fitting with the Shadow Broker DLC ending the way it does...I don't know...

    @sammo21:  No it isn't that because Ashley was the one I sacrificed. Seems like this is happening with a lot of people no matter what decisions you make during the comic. Man that scene where Shepard looks at the photo in the Shadow Broker DLC is just going to be all weird now.

    The person in the picture is the one who died. I picked Liara as my love interest and Ashley to die, than Ashley was in the picture.

    I don't think so. It's supposed to be your love interest from ME1.
     
     I played the PC version and Liara was in the picture.  Kaiden died. No Kaiden picture.

    @animateria: In the motion comic it was the way I stated from my previous post. Maybe they changed it for the ps3 version?

    @RE_Player92:  
     
    Huh. 
     
    Only way to really know is when you cheat on your interest from the first game with another from the second. 
     
    If you cheat then the picture is placed face down. If they just stay up, I guess that means it changed. 
     
    I still think it's a glitch of some sort though, it would be weird to change that.

    @RE_Player92:  No that is not it. The person in the picture is supposed to be your love interest. I also chose Ashley to die I can't stand her. So if that is the case she should have been the one to show up in the picture.
