Who is the canon romance in Mass Effect?

While BioWare never officially declared one, the community widely considers Liara T'Soni the "canon" romance for Commander Shepard due to her consistent presence, pivotal role across all three games, involvement in Shepard's revival, and deep emotional arc, making her the most integrated and long-term love interest, especially highlighted in Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Other romances (Ashley/Kaidan, Tali, Garrus, etc.) are equally valid player choices, but Liara's story feels most woven into the main narrative.

Is male or female Shepard canon?

There's no single "canon" Commander Shepard; the games are designed for player choice, making both male (MShep) and female (FShep) equally valid, though some promotional material favored male Shepard initially, while later elements, like the iconic FShep face (Jane Shepard) and voice acting (Jennifer Hale), gained significant canon weight, especially after ME3. BioWare intended Shepard to be whoever the player chose, emphasizing player agency over a fixed protagonist.

Why are Asari all female?

More alien-looking or unconventional designs for the asari were made, but were discarded for their lack of attractiveness from a human perspective.

Yes, you can see Tali's face in Mass Effect 3, but only if you romance her; she gives you a picture of herself unmasked in your cabin after you complete the Rannoch mission, and the Legendary Edition updated the poorly received stock photo to a proper alien appearance. While her face is briefly glimpsed during a scene where she removes her mask, players only get the clear photo reward for romancing her, a poignant moment for the Quarian character hidden behind her suit.
