Speaking of spoilers... Just posted a big spiel on why I always romance Liara on another thread, thought I'd share it here.
*Mass Effect 2 and LotSB spoilers* I always choose Liara because of how much she honest to god shows her feelings for Shepard. Rather than simply saying "I love you." We see how much she has changed in spite of the death of Shepard and the everything she has done since then. In Mass Effect, she was innocent and unknowing of the universe. Shepard and Liara just kind of fall into eachother and eventually it evolves into a relationship. I'll admit, Shepard's lines in this we're a bit lackluster (I'm looking at you "Just tell me what to do."), but overall, I found it to be the most heartfelt romance of them all ("These things never make sense, we just get swept up in the storm."). Flash to the starting events of Mass Effect 2, Shepard dies, and Liara herself feels guilty because she could have been the one to get Joker, she could've died in his place. Then the events of Mass Effect: Redemption occur, she recovers Shepard's body and goes through her whole Shadow Broker ordeal. While she may use this as her cover, we are shown that the true source of this newfound coldness is because of Shepard's death. Even before she learns of the Broker's involvement, she is not the same Liara. It is nothing but her passion for Shepard that drives her to such emotional extremes. When you finally meet her again in Mass Effect 2, she can hardly accept the fact that you're still alive (The cake is a lie). She is still tied down to the heartbreak she has went through to bring you back, and believes its eradication will allow her to move on in life. In this, she nearly loses herself, becoming obsessed in taking revenge on the Shadow Broker and feeling guilty once more for the loss of Feron, just as she did for Shepard. And perhaps she was right, as it is not until Lair of the Shadow Broker that she finally comes to grips with her past, and realizes that Shepard isn't going anywhere. This character progression is what makes the romance so beautiful, and is one of my favorite parts of the entire trilogy. Sorry bout that big speil on Liara, but it needed to be done. I also want to take this time to note
