I'm having the same problem, but with both Insanity II and Paramore II.
Broke for me too which is hugely annoying after having spent many painful hours doing ME2 insanity.
I romanced Liara in LOTSB and didn’t get Paramour II, is that intended?
Just blew the collector base completing a full insanity playthrough of ME2.
Would be nice to get the 'badge' which didn't drop.
Will be interesting to see if a patch resolves it retrospectively or whether it will need to be achieved afresh.

Hey everyone, a ton of effort goes into these runs for sure!
Just wanted to confirm this is something we've seen and should have it addressed in a future patch.
there is actually a way around these 2 not unlocking.
For the paramour achievements/trophy they can be cheesed by loading up any save in ME1, then saving over that save, then exit to main menu. Then press start on ME2, and trigger the booty call scene. Achievement pops. If you repeat it again, you will get the paramour 3, though it is a glitch, that should only be patched after the achievement is confirmed to be unlockable as it is intended.
For insanity 2 and 3 there is a glitch that if you reload the autosave at the beginning of the saren fight, you can earn the insanity 2 and 3 achievements just by killing him again on insanity. Personally i am still going to play on insanity anyway for the consistency and i've played OG ME3 so many times on insanity im used to the difficulty.
However, it will not trigger the Long Service Medal achievement, and some people are mentioning on reddit that this achievement doesnt pop correctly for some people either.
Also, I don't know if it is related, but on the extras menu for all 3 games where it shows the achievements in game on the menus that show them, it doesnt show these achievements highlighted even though they have been earned.
- @TaylorPYV Unfortunately it is intended and doesn’t count as it never awarded the paramour achievement in the original version of ME2. You could two time with someone else to get the achievement if that’s still possible at your stage of the game otherwise you’ll be out of luck.
Quick side note: Paramour II doesn’t seem to be working properly in general at the moment. I’m in the endgame and hoping for a quick fix to all these achievement bugs so I can move on to ME3I restarted with the intention of completing insanity achievements without changing career (which I have an inkling is the problem).
Re-played ME1 on insanity (which popped 'Insanity II' on Xbox). Incidentally, re-playing the romance scene popped 'Paramour II'.
Yet the achievement log in my cabin and the Xbox achievements list are out of sync, but I'm less concerned by that - that should fix by patching.
I finished all 3 on insanity and i got all achievements for it, maybe at some point the dificulty was changed and thats why you did not get it, you need to start on insanity me 1 finish it without a change in dificulty, import that save in me 2, do the same thing and after that me3 and it should work on pc at least.
This is the theory I'm going with.
The game seems intolerant to swapping career, even if a single insanity save is progressed to completion. (I got the 'bruiser' achievement on a separate 'easy' run)
I'm on my 2nd insanity run (ME done. ME2 progressing) to see if sticking to one game makes a difference.
