Anyone else here cheated on Liara for your Shepard's storyline? People always call me a tool for cheating on Liara but then I realized that it's these imperfections that make Derek and Liara's love so real. I remember how I thought that Derek was over Liara because of how cold she was at first. Consequently, I moved on to Miranda but since LotSB and Mass Effect even after the infidelity... their relationship seemed more real albeit perfection.
What are the imperfections that defined your Shepard/Liara storyline?
Well, I can't bring myself to play a Shep that cheats on Liara - not only is she by far my favorite, I'm just outright not
interested in any of the rest. I mean, if Liara didn't exist, all the other characters were the same, I don't think I'd care about a romance, even. So especially when Liara exists as a comparison, I'm not interested.
However, that's not to say there aren't imperfections. The easiest place to think of is Illium and ME2. Shep/Liara had to deal with the large amount of time that had passed, and what Liara had been through - they didn't get to deal with that until LotSB, and even then Liara still couldn't come with Shepard and even more time and distance was placed between them. This isn't addressed until ME3, where they finally get to be there for eachother.
