Well, I think if someone gets screwed up because of helping me I owe at least trying to help them out. If then she´s changed too much for the relationship to continue, too bad (reminds me of war veterans) but I´m not leaving her apart without trying.BigGuy28 wrote...
This is the problem I had, she changed way too much and not for the better. The only reason my Shepards help her at all is because they feel they owe her and she was a friend/lover at one time. After I no longer feel I owe her I'd treat her like I would any other criminal, as I said before, just because it's Liara it doesn't suddenly make it ok for her to become what I've faught against.
To be fair, any one of Shepard's squadmates are veterans - you hang out with Shepard, there's a whole lot of shooting going on!
What I think didn't fit was the initial ruthlessness that was clearly done for shock value (maybe the human was threatening her, who knows? But it's certainly different from her portrayal in ME1 without any context or development).
The fundamental flaw in the writing, as I see it, is that Shepard IS her primary motivation. Everything about the body and hunting the Shadow Broker, etc, was done because she's in love with or obsessed with Shepard. It's pretty clear in the comic that she really doesn't like Feron that much, though I'm sure she feels guilty about getting him killed/captured. Still, that doesn't explain why she would let Shepard walk out of her office to die again. It feels like it's just that way to fit the framework, and perhaps that's why it feels so artificial.
Of course, no final judgement should be made until the DLC is actually out (since the story is not complete yet, and it wouldn't be fair to the writing). I would feel disappointed if she became the "new" shadow broker, because I don't think that would fit her character, and I'd imagine she'd rather rejoin Shepard. She could, of course, play that role from the Normandy itself.
