Is there polyamory in Mass Effect 1?

No, official polyamory isn't a feature in Mass Effect 1; romances are generally monogamous, and pursuing multiple serious options leads to a confrontation where you must choose one, although some players try "cheating" with a fling (Sha'ira) while in a serious romance, but this is limited and breaks the serious bond. The game forces a choice between your human squadmate romance (Kaidan or Ashley) and Liara T'Soni, with no true polyamorous outcome.

Does romancing Traynor affect other romances?

Yes, romancing Samantha Traynor in Mass Effect 3 can affect other romances, especially if you've already started one, as she's a "proper" romance option (unlike Diana Allers), meaning getting too involved with her locks you out of main character romances, often by ending your previous ME1/ME2 relationship, though you can sometimes switch by breaking up with Traynor early on and committing to another, like Liara.

Who is the best romance in Mass Effect 1?
