Wait, it's Liara? What the heck Bioware! You kick Ashley to the curb even more by replacing her and Kaiden with Liara? Really? What the heck!
Are you pushing that Liara is somehow 'better' than Ashley/Kaiden?
This only further dimishes of any Ashley/Kaiden DLC. It seems that if you aren't an Alien you aren't going to be shown the same level of respect after all.
I know this is the Ash Thread, but I feel this needs to be clarified.
The fact that they only have Liara run up to Shepard now on the PS3 version is due to a few reasons. The primary of which being the interactive comic, Mass Effect: Genesis. Genesis plays after Shepard dies in the beginning, it covers the events of the first Mass Effect, and allowing the player to make choices such as the fate of Wrex, the state of the council and who died on Virmire. Now, since they didn't want to assume who died on Virmire, they go with the neutral element because the scene in which they are featured happens
before the choice is able to be made.
And they have Liara run up to Shepard instead of some random crew member because a) They would have to record new lines not only for this character but for Shepard as well, and

The random crew member would have
absolutely nothing to do with future events in the storyline, unlike the Virmire Survivor.
So, the replacement of Kaidan or Ashley with Liara is not supposed to be a snub to either of them. It's a decision that frees up a decision for the player.
