How to Romance Kaiden

Learn how to romance Kaiden Alenko in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (ME1). Follow these steps to build a relationship and earn the Paramour I achievement.

Hey there! So you're looking to romance Kaiden in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition? He's a solid squadmate, and if you play your cards right, you can even get a romance going with him. It's not too complicated, but you'll need to pay attention to your dialogue choices and when you talk to him.

Here's the quick rundown:

• Make sure you chat with Kaiden after key story missions: Therum, Feros, Noveria, and Virmire.
• Generally, stick to the Paragon (upper right) dialogue options. Avoid the Renegade (lower right) ones if you want to keep things friendly.
• Use your best judgment: flirt a bit, don't put him in the friend zone, and definitely don't tell him you're interested in other squadmates.
• On the flip side, if you're trying to romance Kaiden, you'll want to do the opposite with Liara. Don't flirt with her, tell her you're interested in Kaiden, and try to ignore her on the Normandy as much as possible.

If you manage to pull off a romance with Kaiden, you'll unlock the Paramour I achievement, which is awarded for establishing a romantic relationship in any of the Mass Effect games.
