Yeah, me either.

Choosing Liara as an LI Is down to pure choice and the player's Affection towards her as an LI.

I don't really feel that your forced as such , She a intergrul plot charcter to the ME's Sqeual.

I do miss not having her around as the adorable LI we had in ME.



But personally I think she rocks <333

Why is "Affection" capitalized.

... Is it a superpower?

It's a superpower, isn't it. Like a secret superpower.

I want this thing. Give me the secret. What does it do? Will NPCs jump off bridges if you invoke your mighty Shepard Affection power? Can you level it up? Will Jack finally talk to me if I don't romance her? Will I get followers who will worship the power? Can it make Udina pick flowers for Shepard?

I don't feel forced to have Liara as my Shep's LI in ME1 (my Shep loves Kaidan). Shepard may not reciprocate Liara's romantic interest, but they are still strong friends who would give a lot for each other. (And Liara still feels whatever she feels. Unrequited love is an interesting story dynamic.)

Nightwriter wrote...

Liara cares for Shepard whether you reciprocate her feelings or not. You're either the love of her life or the jerk who won't return her affections even after she goes to hell and back to save your atmosphere-roasted corpse.

Riiiiight. Because the best and healthiest romances start out from a sense of guilt at not being attracted to someone in spite of all the things they've done for you...

I remember someone on here once said they went back to ME1 and did another perfect playthrough just to romance Liara. Why? "Because it goes well with Redemption."

You say this as if it's a bad thing. I,personally, go back and do an entire playthrough of ME1 about once a month. It is a truly amazing game.

Not a bad thing at all. I was just saying that playfully. I've played through ME1 8 times myself, last time was this past July.

That's what they tell me.

As others have said Liara just loves Shepard regardless, but she isn't the "canon" romance. The canon Shepard is a huge jerk as evident by him picking Udina, blowing up the council and doing every heartless move in ME1.

Looking from the trailers for ME2 he picked Ashley. Canon Shepard is an extreme heartless jerk and a failure of a Military Officer.

And for some bizarre reason Liara loves all Shepards even Super Evil Renegade with the worst judgement and absolutely no wisdom in decisions at all Shepard, aka Canon Shepard.

And although I usually pick Liara over Ashley/Kaidan at all times I once made a Paragon Shepard who wanted to romance Ashley but I found it pretty difficult to consider it a Paragon decision.

I think Ashley was just meant to be a Renegade LI. She's pretty Renegade anyway. Kills Wrex heartlessly, Very Pro-Human, Mean to Liara and didn't trust Wrex, Garrus, Tali or Liara even though none of them had any interest in Alliance secrets or Politics.

Although, your not really a jerk if you just tell her straight that your not in love with her but you like her as a special friend. You can't control who you love, quoting Shepard "We don't choose this, it just happens and we get caught in the storm.".


Hell, I felt like a jerk turning down Tali and Jack. Although you do turn down Tali nicely. The whole romance feels like Tali just had a teenage crush on a guy about 20 years older and he does the mature thing and tells her she should look for someone her age and you know, not toxic to her. 

While I agree that the New Game (non-import) Shepard in ME2 is a total failure of a military officer, he is in no way "canon". More like "default". Also, he didn't romance anyone. He was just friends with Ashley.

pfft. Liara certainly doesn't need pity of your precious Shepards, and the fact that she rescued your sorry asses from Collectors doesn't mean that she's got a crazy tragic crush forcing you to romance her. deal with it

Oh, look! It's MASH! 

[Nightwriter]

Liara doesn't tell me I should treat her a certain way or romance her because she saved me. Her fans do.

[Nightwriter]

Nothing's Liara's fault. I'd be hard pressed to think of something to blame her for.

[Nightwriter]

It's just the truth. Always has been. Not even Liara's harsher fans can change that.

You know. You'll be talking about Liara and you'll get smacked with a guilt trip about how she went to all ends of the Earth for you.

[Collider]

Do you get that a lot in the Liara thread, Night?

[Fiery Phoenix]

You fascinated me, Nightwriter. But you require a better man than I...

*taps nose and runs away*

EDIT: @Collider, you get it everywhere. It's just a common counter-argument you are bound to get every time you bring up Liara's love for Shepard.

Like it's a bad thing.

Bitterness increases! I see your veiled message! I can read between the lines! "I treat Liara better than you, Nightwriter, I'm a true disciple of the wonderful BBG, how faithful am I, everyone else is a heathen jerk!" Yeah, I know what you really mean!

How convenient it must be that your favorite LI is the one who saves your life and loves you unconditionally! How easy you must sleep at night!

she's the "female" equivalence of Garrus (à la walking into hell too...)

they both got Shep's back, no matter what

as long as you treat her/them like a true friend, and not a jerk, you really shouldn't feel you're being forced  into anything

and, I wouldn't say, it means, you have to profess an undying love for anyone, just don't dismiss what they've done for you

I think this was well said.
