If Liara were an Ardat-Yakshi and Samara is after her, will you kill her or Samara?

[CroGamer002]

If she was Ardat-Yakshi my Shep that romance her would be dead.

[Annihilator27]

She is a pure blood, I'll have to kill samara.

[Merchant2006]

Hypothetically? I'd assume Liara would be clever enough not to mate with anyone. But by the time Liara reaches her next stage in life, Samara will probably be dead, she is after all nearly 1000 I guess.



But I'd kill her if she tries anything. As much as you love someone, if melding your mind with them = death then nothanks.jpg.



But I highly doubt Liara is an AY. Just because she's a pureblood doesn't necessarily mean she will end up as one. Heh.

[Saibh]

You should rename your thread--it seems like you're asking if she might be when we clearly know she is not.



I don't know. If Liara went insane with power and starting having young women brought to her in sacrifice, I'd stop her. If Liara simply chose not to meld with anyone but didn't want to join a convent in the far reaches of asari space, I'd protect her.

If she was an Ardat-Yakshi, my Shepard would have died before reaching Ilos, and Liara would be too physiologically compelled to do anything but keep consuming people so...

...silly hypothetical is silly.

That being said, I'd hope she chooses the exile option like Samara's other daughters - otherwise, Liara dies.

At that point it's a question of galactic stability - we cannot place a Justicar at the heart of the Shadow Broker network. So sorry, but that's a recipe for complete chaos.

True, but I wouldn't let a serial killer running around either...
Not that Liara is an Ardat-Yakshi, that's impossible.

Twice.

This.

That's for Lazarus Project is for.

I'm assuming the OP is speaking hypothetically, as it's clear that Liara isn't an Ardat-Yakshi...it's an extremely rare condition even in purebloods and eveyone and their mother's Shepard would have died in ME1 after the first knowledge-meld with Liara after Feros or Virmire.

Also, keep in mind Samara isn't hunting Morinth because she is an Ardat-Yakshi, but she's hunting Morinth because she is a sociopath and a serial killer. Samara's other daughters are Ardat-Yakshi as well, but Samara isn't tracking them down.

If Liara was an Ardat-Yakshi, I would imagine she would choose the life of seclusion to the life of murder. Therefore, Samara wouldn't be justified in hunting her and killing her. Of course, Samara wouldn't go after Liara in this case anyway, so the question is a bit pointless.

They could pull the Age Retcon card, arguing that Liara, in ME1, having only recently entered the Maiden stage, hadn't yet begun to express the AY traits that develop at the advent of Maidenhood. They'd really be pushing the limits of the way asari "childhood" and human childhood don't match up chronologically, developmentally, though.

IIRC, Morinth began to express the traits in her 40s.

I'd have to Kill her She'd probably outlive Samara and Sheppard, and shes too dangerous to let live, even if she agreed to incarceration.

For all that is good and holy man, shut your face. There's no need to give BioWare any more pants-on-head-retarded ideas

Yeah, pretty much this.

I would put her in one room with Morinth and watch.

Seriously though, this subject should be brought up in ME3 dialogue with Liara if Shepard hasn't romanced her.

That must be an error of writing, since we're told that AY-ism isn't curable because it only becomes detectable at a stage where nothing can be done about it.

EDIT: I wouldn't mind not hearing another thing about the Ardat-Yakshi, since that condition was invented just to sell Samara and Morinth's relation to one another.

But, doesn't she run away at age 40 to avoid being holed up in some monastery or whatever b/c of her AY condition?

[tmk]

Codex states a lot of stuff that doesn't match or even contradicts what's in-game. As I recall, Samara is the one who says the trait manifests at "maturity", and she's also the one who says Morinth ran away at the age of 40. Also keep in mind that biological maturity isn't the same as psychological (a human may be biologically mature around the age of 14, but generally isn't considered truly adult till 18-20).



In any case, yes, it's all kinda vague, but that's not an excuse to pull a plot twist that lame. As much as some people might want it, I really doubt that will happen.
