@EA_Mako Finished ME2 on insane and had the same issue with parmour II and Insanity II. My save is at the end of the game, will these eventually unlock? Or do I need to replay all again?

@Pagesus 

Based on what I've seen so far, if those haven't already unlocked since the patch you may need to try reloading a save or playing through again if you don't have an earlier save game available, unfortunately.

@Mr_Irishman 

I would try loading any save you have from ME1 after completing a romance there, if possible. Once that's loaded, save over it again so you'll now have a save file updated since the patch.

After that point try loading your ME2 save and completing the romance again there. You mentioned having one just before a Tali romance, so that may be the quickest to try.  

Edit: Success, thanks for confirming that did the trick! 🙌

    Is this only Paramour related?

    Do we have to replay the final mission of ME1 and get a new save after that to get Insanity 2 in ME2?

    Would be great to have this pinned in FAQ

      Hey @NuevoXS,

      Still sorting out the various details of what seems to be working for people in different situations.

      From what I'm seeing thus far, you should be able to try just replaying the last mission in ME2 for that to trigger, assuming you had a save game at that point.

      That said, for Paramour it seems you don't need to complete the final mission in ME1, just load a save file and save over it.

      It should be fairly quick to just load a ME1 file and re-save it even if you're just going for the Insanity II achievement, so that may be worth doing before re-playing an entire mission in ME2.

        @EA_Mako

        Reloading and saving a ME1 save done BEFORE the ME1 romance scene and replaying the romance scene in ME2 does not solve the issue, despite Paramour l being shown as unlocked in ME2 in-game tracker.

        Also Paramour I and Insanity I achievements are greyed out in ME3 in-game tracker despite being unlocked, so that looks unreliable as well.

    @EA_Mako Can confirm it worked for insanity 2 aswell but I tried the romance on Me3 just now and was not so lucky, at what point should it unlock in Me3, before the Cerberus base or the final assault before getting to the Citadel?

    Does Paramour 2 even unlock if you "rekindle" your romance with Liara in ME2 LotSB? 

    I've tried before and after the patch. If the achievement doesn't unlock for rekindling your romance with Liara in ME2 they really should change the conditions of the Paramour 2 achievement to "Establish a Romance or Cheat on your Lover (but also don't bother romancing Samara or Kelly so if you're playing as FemShep STRAIGHT ROMANCES ONLY!)"

    I don't mean to sound aggressive. I'm just trying to understand the logic if it's working as intended.
