There's no chance of Liara being killed off at the beginning of the game.. They've spent too long building up her character, building up her role as SB, and cementing her as a very important person in Shepard's life to merely use her as a weak situational awareness check. If she survives through to the end credits of ME3 is another matter entirely...
In-game screenie, you say? Now I want to see it! PM me with the link, if you please. :3
@Marshal: Glad to hear your writing is coming along nicely! Do you post up your chapters as soon as you're done with them?
@Emmanuel: You're welcome. ^^ I make the mistake of over thinking my writing sometimes too and it tends to be somewhat detrimental to the creative process. It's not something I can really help but, if you can, just plunge into writing and be damned with the consequences! The best writing happens, sometimes, when you just type away without thought of where the story might be heading. Let it write itself, in essence. :3
