Iz evidence.

Well, she is not Liara. She looks like. But I bet it is not.

We don't get to see her face, for all we know she's angry and thinking "I'll kill you soon". (Well, at least the video I saw, maybe there's other I haven't seen).

True.  I was extrapolating from the dejected body-language.

Uh, yeah.  That's Liara.  It's the same image seen in the Codex and Shep's cabin.

Yes it is and it is sad. This confirms that no one will ever talk to Shepard unless they are important to the plot or part of a mission. Aethyta seemed to be the one exception to this, just a nice gal up for an interesting chat, but once again we are reminded of how small the ME-galaxy is.

I wanted to say that.

Good thing you didn't, since it's just plain not true.  Gavorn's one example.  So is Shisk (he'll still be there after Mordin's recruitment if you didn't talk to him before, so no, that wasn't him at the end of it).  Then there're those batarians looking for trouble in the Afterlife entrance hall.  At least half of the shopkeepers in the game are completely quest-free too.  Even the ones that are are mostly involved in ways that amount to slightly more elaborate methods for obtaining discounts.  Oh, and the Clan Nakmor ambassador and the Urdnot's Lord High Researcher (he's sort of a shopkeeper, though, I suppose. Still: counts).  Add in most of the bartenders. 

Even some of the people who are technically part of a mission are really just there so you can hang out and chat and serve no essential purpose: looters, plague victims and refugees on Mordin's recruitment, the merc bosses, subordinates and freelancer on Garrus', the guard and prisoner on Purgatory, the Biotic God, etc.

And, saving the best and most ironic for last: Aethyta herself.  She's not really part of any quest and she's also completely irrelevant to the plot.  Her possibly being Liara's pseudo-dad is pure trivia. 

Footnote: it's amusing that many have complained about a number these apparently purposeless people precisely because they lack direct plot/mission relevance.  Truly, you cannot please them all.  In some cases, not even some of the time, it seems.

I'd love to have Aethyta as a mother-in-law for my Shep. Her personality, and "Dad's mouth" would make for a potentially hilarious meeting with Liara and Shep...or a singularity ass slapping. Either one would be worth watching =D

doesn't mean anything... i can have pictures of michael jackson on my wall, doesn't mean he's my father, or i'm his father...

terrible analogy, Micheal Jackson was famus and always in the public eye, anybody can get a picture of him it's not hard. Liara is a nobody and a nobody who activley trys to stay out of the public eye.  Most of her life has been spent off her home world traveling around to remote planets as an archologist, and now she's mid level admin running around in the under world,  She's hardly anyone important. Implying some random bartender on illuim just took an up close picture of her and now has some kinda odd crush on her. Desipte the edvidence. Is quite frankly retarded.

There are two reunions I hope turn up in ME3: Liara with Aethyta and Wrex with Aria.

Sorry guys but Wrex and Aria don't even know each other. According to ME1 and the ME wiki, the Asari that Wrex knows is named Aleena not Aria. Really you should go back and play ME1 and also look up the Wiki.

As for Aethyta being Liara's 'father' asari, I kinda knew that is who she was when I first met her and she said that she even fathered a child with another asari and the fact that she looked a lot like Liara didn't hurt either. This little image in the DLC just confirmed what I knew/suspected all along. Pretty damned cool I say.

Aria isn't her real name.  She'll tell you this if you ask her about her history.  You should really go talk to Aria again and really pay attention to her dialog  after checking ME1 and wiki.  There's some very obvious hints to the effect that she's Aleena.

[Heather Cline]

I've checked the wiki and checked the game. It's suspected but not proven. There are some things that point to it being possible but there isn't any concrete evidence. Until there is some it's as they say circumstantial evidence. Meaning that there is nothing but some one liners in the game that could suggest that she is Aleena but nothing out right saying 'oh by the way in my past I used to go by the name Aleena'.

He's part of a quest.  Disqualified.

That's why I said 'hints'.  I agree it's not certain, it's just very, very suspicious.  Another thing that strengthens the case is that according to Retribution, Aria took over Omega a bit over two hundred years ago, and Wrex first left Tuchanka about 300 years before ME1, so the two timelines mesh up rather well.  But yes, still circumstantial.

Nope. That's been in there from the start.  You just have to leave and return to get a new batch of  'em to watch.

Haha! That would be fricking awesome! I doubt Bioware has that much time on their hands though

OT: I'd never noticed that before, but even if that is the case, is it really that relevant, it's not as if they know each other.

Either that or she'd just slap him on the ass, and tell him to come see her the next time the bars dirty.

Are you thinking of Emily Wong? She's seen dancing with two women in one video. Well, an asari and a woman. The only vids I've seen of Al-Jilani so far have been of her getting punched by a krogan and kicked by a volus.

[GnusmasTHX]

Pfft... ANYONE would ogle a picture of Liara.

[Aimi]

Eternity's so close to Liara's office that I think it's awfully hard to believe that Aethyta hasn't seen Liara in person at least once. Gotta be extra painful for her in that case.

[vashts1985]

its gotta be a small universe right? its not like estranged fathers ever seek out their long lost children,



it even harder to imagine a girl that never knew her father to seek them out when they grow up. you guys are silly. that stuff never happens. pure fiction.



for all we know, liara tracked down her father, they have already had their little emotional rendezvous during the two years we were absent, and continued to live their lives. maybe neither one has had the nerve to say anything. maybe Liara does not know and fate brought her to ilium.

it could be any number of things due to power of plot, however Bioware has made it abundantly clear through hints, that aethyta is in fact liara's father, in their own little way.



now that this is established, i do believe there is the more pressing issue of how two asari partners determine the mother/father role. do they just draw straws? or is it more of a "whos on top tonight" deal? its questions like these that really boggle the mind.

lol....when I saw that my first thought was: "they're doing this just to screw with the forums" rofl. It looks like pretty strong evidence given what she says but it's not an absolute confirmation and some will deny it to the bitter end while others will flaunt their joy at this apparent confirmation every chance they get so flame wars are assured. I just think it's hilarious I don't really care one way or another.
