It's like the Chewbacca Defense, only in comic book form.
"And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense!"
The sad thing is, if they had presented Liara's not coming that way I would have at least gotten a good southpark related laugh out of this... As is, I was merely baffled at the laziness of the writing...
Yeah I think most folks would have been happier in the end if when Liara was first brought up in game TIM had just made a nonsensical joke or odd reference about her and she was never seen or heard from again instead of what we actually got.
Kinda the same thing they did with the fact that they killed the protagonist right at the start of the game. I mean this could have been a huge theme to run throughout the game and driven some real "dark and edgy" (in a good way) moments off of.
Instead of trying to make a meaningful story out of it though they just brushed it off with "Well, technically I'm undead" jokes and never really mention it in a serious fashion. Suppose that is a better way to have handled it then what could have been, judging from the rest of the game. Ultimately, still disappointing they didn't even attempt to actually make it, you know, an important moment.
Typically you don't want to actually kill your protagonist unless you've written yourself into a corner or are intending to drive narrative from it. Not often you see it "just because". At least instead of making a complete joke of it they just ignored it for the most part. Guess we dodged a bullet on that one.
