How come so many artists always use anime style when they make ME art? Anime is all well and good and everything, and has its' place...but I just don't think ME is it.

This is still one of my favorite pieces of ME art, and I think this kind of style is much more fitting.



Though this is a very close second.



I just find those so much more artistically pleasing to look at, for the ME universe anyway, than anime.

LotSB was really great for getting to reunite with Liara like that. LotSB itself, as a whole, is the single best bit of content in the entire trilogy. Liara and Shep just go together so well there, and show off so much chemistry. That really propelled Liara/Shep to easily the best videogame romance I've ever seen.

I couldn't agree with you more. I think ME3 have some great moments with them too especially holding hands and Liara pulling Shepard out of the collapsed ground of the Asari temple and showing her concerned for Shepard after he/her from watching their comrade, Ashley or Kaidan get beaten and smashed up by Dr. Eva. It just shows how much she loves Shepard.

I do love both of those, but I don't really see alot of anime style for ME atleast not when Liara is involved.  the only time i really see it is in comics like the one i posted above.  most of what i see is done traditionally or in traditional styles on a PC or in a cell shaded style that you would find in american graphic novels and some comics.  examples of the cell shading would be humangrotesques and some of RubyNormans work on DA

Yeah, you're right. I really appreciate how strong of a character she comes across as, throughout LotSB and ME3 especially. There's lots of moments where she actually takes charge/shows concern for Shepard, and it isn't just Shepard in control all the time.

Really makes their relationship seem so equal. That's just unheard of in videogame romances.

I will be honest I'm not really a big fan of anime at all. I just don't like that style of art or animation. I don't know it just looks weird. It just doesn't look that appealing to me. Just a huge turned off for me. I think it's a little overrated. Well that's just me. I agree with you about these pictures above though.

That's one of the reasons why I love Liara and Mass Effect.

Dang it all;  only after the LI Submissions have closed do I realize that I want to write a letter; so, I'll write it here and ask you folks out there for your opinions on what spawned the idea.

Dear Bioware;

Nora Shepard was a few steps away from broken. If experiencing living on the streets of Old Los Angeles, with its constant gang wars, Red Sand junkies, loss, and worse, wasn't bad enough, attempting to find herself a better life in the Alliance left her shaken after Torfan.  The nomiation to the N7s to cover up the scandal, while honorable and taken, made her wonder at times if it was her fate to die in the field alone and loathed as 'The Butcher'.

Then, Eden Prime, the Reapers, and Saren came along. Yet, those were not what brought the change.  On a lead to find Matriarch Benezia on Therum, they discovered a mild and soft-spoken Prothean scientist.  Liara T'Soni.  Dehydrated and probably delirious, she began to sing 'Help' by the Beatles, which was the first instance in years Nora had ever laughed.

In the space of a month, Liara's simple sincerity and curisoity had managed to bypass any and all the barriers she had erected between herself and her crew.   She had slept better, she listened more.  She began to hear the concerns of her crewmates.  Opened up to the point where she eventually considered Ashley Williams a sister-in-arms, if not in blood.  

I won't bore you with all the details of how Liara had changed Nora's life, but I will say this:  Liara T'Soni had saved Nora Shepard from the degredation of self.  The asari's influence had changed her for the better.  It made Nora a better person overall.

And while you can claim that the endings are the end result of the growth of character, I can safe with surety that Nora would not accept anything the starchild said.  She was not arrogant enough to believe herself capable of controlling the Reapers.  She did not believe forcing the galaxy into a state of evolutionary stagnation would end the war.  She did not believe sacrificing the Geth and EDI, after both discovering their sapience, would have made their loss any better to take.  She would have found another way.  And you know what?  She would have fought to return to Liara, if anything else to try another plan.

Once the war would end, she would retire to Rannoch to live for the rest of her life in peace with Liara and the children they would have had.  Only you can make this right, Bioware.  Give Nora the ending she earned, please.

Thank you,
Me.

Now then, has Liara had an impact in the life of your Shepard?  By all means, share.

Reminds me, you rarely see Liara actually go all black eyed for ME3. That got used less and less as the games went on, and I'm not sure if the phrase "embrace eternity" ever gets said, unless it does at the very end for the scene in London. I can't remember.

I thought it was interesting how that part of the Asari got used throughout ME1, and ME2 just used it in LotSB right before fading to black if Shep and Liara have sex again. It doesn't seem to happen in 3, though - not even in the sex scene. Though, at least they still had her mix in some biotic energy. Did she even glow with biotic energy like that for the sex scene in ME1, or was it just black eyes?

That's a really good letter and all, but I just have to ask - why do so many Liara romancers want Shepard and Liara to have a home together on Rannoch? Shouldn't that be for the Talimancers? Why not Thessia?

I'd much rather Shep/Liara live out their lives on Thessia, personally.

I think they used it in the gift scene although its hard to tell when/if her eyes go back.  but they don't say embrace eternity at all that i've seen.

personally I'm taking the house that Wrex offered me on whatever new homeworld the Krogan's get.  But I'll say i wouldn't mind having a place on Thessia.  Or just stealing the Normandy and running off somewhere, getting lost out there

Her eye was black in the sex scene in ME3. I will take some screenshots later
In ME1 these was a big pink bubble

I'm pretty sure that Shep and Liara alone can not fly/manage the entire Normandy.

I guess we'll keep Joker and EDI around then, we'll let them move into Liara's cabin and she can finally move in upstairs

While Thessia would work for Nora if Liara wanted it, she feels more of a kinship with the Quarians than the Asari, since they, like the Krogan, have been treated like garbage and being treated like garbage during your formative years is something that Nora knows all too well.

[Aristobulus500]

Liara really should've set up shop in Shep's room if you were romancing her. They had some great romance in ME3 - much more than I expected, coming from ME2/ME1's static ways and never ever acknowledging it outside of specific scenes on the Normandy with them alone, but still they could've done so much more.

yeah i was hoping for that but we couldn't have everything,  atleast we got some acknowledgement of the relationship this time around "I still don't have a window like Liara does.  Guess that's cause i don't kiss as well"

I see where you're coming from, but man, I just disagree. I'm totally all over Asari design. Asari are an amazing alien race and I love their aesthetics when ti comes to technical design and even architecture and everything. It's all so sleek and really impressive looking. Asari design is basically what I think of when I think of "utopian futuristc sci fi alien design"

The Asari cities we see, too, are just some of the prettiest and most breath taking civilizations you actually get to see. Illium and Thessia just looked astonishing. I loved that view on Illium, of the entire Asari city.

And while Liara is, of course, my favorite Asari, I have a weakness for all Asari. Their culture and everything is just interesting, too. Though I've said a lot of why I like the Asari so much in an earlier post, I'll cut myself off here for the sake of not going on a tangent.

I don't get if you're agreeing with me or insulting me. I can read that both ways.

Its supposed to be comical...and refers to the number of times someone has said that almost word for word over the course of this thread. /uploads_user/1070000/1069890/28011.gif

[TheCrimsonSpire]

I'm just going to say that, compared to everyone else's love interests, Liara's was the biggest of all the straws. So, even if I agree that there could have been potentially more that they could have done with Liara and Shep, the point still stands, that Liara lucked out more compared to other potential LI's.
