Liara is the only one in the series that has shown any significant signs of character development so far. That, honestly, is something I love and would like to see happen to the majority of the rest, Shepard included.
Additionally, I do not believe Liara will be a squadmate in ME3. Apparently some people do, but that's not me. If anything, LOTSB seemed to confirm otherwise. In fact, I think Feron has a better chance of joining the team than her.
And good to see this thread is back.

The thing about Liara is she has the privilege to be under the protection of what we call "plot armor". Consider: Every other squadmate; literally, every single one of the 15 other squadmates becomes expendable at one point or another during the adventure (throughout both ME1 and ME2). And guess what, Liara does not, no matter what you do. So, BioWare can conveniently play around with her character and make all kinds of adjustments to it without having to worry about her not showing up in a subsequent event or anything along those lines.pacer90 wrote...

But Liara's has taken a totally different route. Even if she is only a friend she GIVES so much more to Shepard than any other teammate. It makes for a really interesting dynamic as Shepard will have to rely on her. Not something we're used to seeing! Normally everyone is leaning on Shepard.

Yes!!!!! That would be a very heartwarming scenerynluna wrote...
Yes, I am really looking forward to a reunion between Liara and Aethyta in the future. For my Earthborn Shep, it will be nice to have Aethyta as sort of her first parental figure. Imagine her giving a blessing to Shepard to have Liara as her bondmate? Eeeeee!

Most likely, Bioware has always planed the Protheans to have a huge part in the final chapter, plus having her as the SB means you will have support during the game. Plus it's also possible that Bioware will let us have our old squadmates including Liara in our squad duringt he final battle, where for most of the game we have our new squad.jlb524 wrote...
Though, the question is why does Liara have plot armor? Is it simply b/c of her knowledge of the Protheans will be needed again in ME3?
Plus, her plot armor may mean (as others have pointed out) that she won't be a full squad mate in ME3, while the other surviving characters may be. I think it's likely that they wanted to save her for a plot sensitive NPC role in ME3 but then keep her out of the squad.
Well Aethyta does tell us why she had to leave Thessia, it was not abotu her daughrer at all, in fact I woulnd't be surprised if she was always in contact with Benz with how Liara is doing and when Liara came to Illuim ,she most liekly befrined her and they became friends. Liara's office is not that far away from the bar.jlb524 wrote...
Hopefully, just don't say anything to ****** of Aethyta
But, I think for the SB vid, we can assume that Aethyta does care about Liara. Also, I tend to believe Aethyta choose that one bar on Illium so she could be close to Liara.
I want to say that's why, but it's very arguable.jlb524 wrote...

This is indeed likely. And I hate to say it, but in ME3, Liara may be just as expendable as everyone else was in the previous chapters -- at least at a certain point in the game. So, this plot armor may not last forever.jlb524 wrote...

This, I think the only death that we will not be able to prevent will be Anderson and we know it's gonig to happen. I will be surprised if he does not die.jlb524 wrote...

I don't expect her plot armor to last though ME3, unless they have plans for her outside of the ME gaming series, which isn't a given.
I just hope her possible 'death' is just a possible one and can be avoided.
Yup, agreed. I'm sure as hell not willing to be forced to sacrifice Liara. If it's to happen, it should at least be an option or a consequence (e.g. suicide mission).jlb524 wrote...

The cabin scene between Shepard and Liara <3:wub:rynluna wrote...
That's so depressing to think about. I think it would be hard to watch not only because she is loved so much but that she has survived in the prior games, longer than all the other squadmates. Well besides the VS. Eh, I don't wanna think about that right now. *thinks of happy Liara thoughts* There are a lot of them.

I thought that Feron would take over for Liara as the shadow broker when she decides to join the team in ME3. Drell have perfect memories.
