As for Liara, I've always believed that she loves Shepard even if her feelings aren't returned; but she never pushes herself on Shep or tries to interfere with her relationships with others. I think it's actually a nice touch, as sad as it also is, to include the idea of unrequited love in the game.
Agreed, another great scene that comes to my mind is in ME2, Samara rejecting Shep's advances, that scene was done so well, Shepard may be a remarkable individual but it would be silly to have the option to romance everyone.

And for Samara it would be inconsistant to her character, she answers only to the code, if I could wish anything for Samara it would be to reconnect with Falere again, seeing her act so cold towards her and knowing it pains her to do so was heartbreaking:crying: I also heard some people would like an option to romance Aria if Bioware are going to release an Omega DLC, to that I say, no, just no, this is a different league of stupid IMO, it's like Mass Effect is turning into the 'Bachelor' or something *shudder*
Anyway Samara was one of my favourite characters in ME2, I just loved her story, the crosses she had to carry and her otherworldly wisdom and serenity, I loved skipping into her cabin to chat and I would have really liked to of heard Samara's opinion of Liara or visa versa, the young asari and the wise Justicar would have had many interesting stories to swap no doubt.

I've seen these two in conversation in alot of fanfiction being a mentor or confidant of sorts to Liara. For me I would have liked to have seen these two become close friends, since Liara lost Benezia, losing a parent, especially your mother, the void that leaves in your life is indescribable. Samara would sympathise with her situation, she has sacrificed so much of her own personal happiness for her way of life, I could see her guiding the young asari and I would like to think Liara would appreciate the wise council of a revered Justicar.
For me I just like the concept of delving more into Asari life, the contrasts between the young and the elder Asari to me is very interesting. What is expected of them, how they should lead their lives, if they openly defy an elder's wish would there be severe consequences, could they be cut off from their family support network and so on. Benezia had to let Liara forge her own way, rather reluctantly I would think, the influence of the elders in Asari culture is quite remarkable and nice to see, just exploring that more is always interesting to me.

Anyone else feel the same?
