Mass-effect – resume a romance with Kelly Chambers

mass-effect-3

I realize she's never quite counted as a legit romance, but I ran into her in ME3 and

convinced her to take the necessary steps to avoid the wrath of Cerberus

I'm told she'll show up again later. Is it possible to rekindle things with her, and are there any special circumstances for doing so? If so, will it affect any current relationships?

(I assume, like all characters introduced in Mass Effect 2, that if this is possible at all you have to have been involved with her in the first place, but since she didn't actually count for the Paramour achievement I can't be sure if this will be handled differently.)

Best Answer

Yes, it's possible to have a romance with her, and she's one of the hardest characters to romance. The Wiki has the complete info:

Shepard re-encounters Kelly on the Citadel...
...her death fate can be avoided if upon reuniting with Kelly, Shepard persuades her to "change her identity".
She will disappear for a few missions. She will eventually reappear donning a new look and ask you how she looks.
After the Cerberus raid on the Citadel, she can be found again in the Dock area of the Citadel...
If Shepard didn't have dinner with Kelly during the events surrounding the Collectors, Kelly will be absent even if she survived those events.
If Kelly was taking care of Shepard's fish during the Collector Attacks, she manages to take them when she left, and will return them to Shepard after the Commander runs across her on the Citadel.
If Shepard is not involved in a romantic relationship with any other character, it is possible to pursue Kelly after she changes her identity and the Citadel is raided by Cerberus.

So if you satisfy those half dozen-ifs, half of them based on the last game, yes, you can romance Kelly. It sounds like you're most of the way there, though.

Note that unlike Mass Effect 2, romancing Kelly gets you the Paramour achievement this time.
