Anyways, I'm looking for something to replace the old wallpaper I have. I've been using this one for a while, but I never liked it since it doesn't make Liara look her best.



But I want something with a lot of cool stuff and lighting in it.

However, my perception of Liara's cameo from an in-universe perspective did not hit me as hard as it did for others, as I was aware of the "I couldn't let you go" dialogue path beforehand. Almost immediately, I began analysing Liara's character development, and started to develop my own theories and interpretations in order to understand things a little better.

Yeah, but you are still lookig at that from your perspective.  I meant from Shepard's perspective, it was pretty rough.

I always liked the wallpaper made here, TMA.

Or this one has cool stuff

Oh, I see. Yeah, I missed that 'certain special dialog choice' my first time through.

But, that's why the forums are so awesome.

I take the paragon choices at the beginning of ME2 for two reasons. 1. I don't like being mean to Liara. 2. The paragon choice results in Liara being knocked into Shepard's arms, the renegade choice has her knocked away from Shepard. I want Liara in my femShep's arms one last time.

I actually went with the Renegade choice for the second line because I figured Shepard was so worried about Liara's safety that she felt she had to order her to get to the escape pod.

Wasn't really aware of the choice affecting the scene, though, so I sort of regret the choice now.

Wat?



The randomness of this outburst aside, the asari are mono-gendered, not no-gendered. They're repeatedly stated to be all-female, not hermaphroditic or asexual. Even if they were, the fact that asari definitely have feminine features and personalities means that any human attracted to them would logically be attracted to human women as well.

@SkyeHawk89: Is this in response to a particular post? Regardless, whilst the specific details are debatable it is worth pointing out that Liara's comments on the issue are at best unhelpful and at worst incorrect. But you can't say WeSEX in a video game, of course.

Re Shepard's sexual orientation: I'd argue that Shepard being attracted to human women is neither necessary nor sufficient for Shepard to be attracted to Liara. It would be necessary if Shepard picked an asari because they look like human women when sufficiently drunk, but that's not quite how Shepard and Liara meet.

Right, but it's clear that asari do have feminine characteristics.

Uh huh.  A 100% straight FemShep just isn't going to go for Liara.  They romance Kaidan or one of the ME2 dudes.  Also, the FemShep/Liara romance was designed to appeal to those that like f/f romances.

I just wish Hudson didn't make that comment about asari being 'asexual'...Liara would find the whole thing amusing anyway XD

Just a reminder that bringing real life sociopolitical discussion into a gaming forum isn't allowed due to its inflammatory nature. Your opinion of other forum posters based on your sexual political affiliations is off-topic and likely insulting. Don't do it. Be cool. Discuss Liara.

Back to Liara, what would she think of our holidays and our focus on gift-giving? Do asari also have similar ideas?



We do know that asari have adopted Valentine's day from a Cerberus Daily News feed.

[Xilizhra]

They'd probably be quite happy to adapt to the customs of their human partners. As for whether they have similar ideas, we'd need to learn about Thessia's climate, and whether it'd be the sort to bring long, cold winters that people would celebrate the ending of. For just gift-giving in general? Almost certainly.

[pacer90]

The asari have the largest economy and generally cultured lives. I think they would have a fair bit of cash to throw around and probably would enjoy the nuances and intricacies that come with giving gifts.



Keeping it a secret from each other... everyone getting together and exchanging at once etc etc. I think it would be a very popular tradition and I think Liara would really enjoy it.

[jlb524]

I agree. I like the idea of Liara adapting somewhat to human culture and Shepard adapting to her culture as well. I don't know what type of holidays the asari have or what they celebrate, but it would be interesting to as Liara about it and celebrate them with her XD

I agree; I'd love to celebrate asari holidays. I do feel like I'd enjoy assimilating into their culture...

[pacer90]

Oh god I just thought of Liara trying to deal with the madness of trying to shop for a present on Earth and not knowing what the traditions are.



"Oh it's December 24th... I'll just pop over to the mall and grab that thing I've had my eye on for Shepard for ages..."

[Xilizhra]

Oh, my... that would be problematic.

[jlb524]

She could use biotics to assist her gift-finding process XD

[Pacifien]

Liara strikes me as someone who would find joy in providing gifts to others. Trying to find a gift that is perfectly in tune with someone else's needs, especially if the person didn't even realize they needed it, just strikes me as a very archeological thing to do.

It's archaeological to delve into another's psyche, analyzing all the data provided in order to determine the perfect gift for them?  Then, yes, I agree XD
