T'SONI GOT VENGEANCE!!!
Wasn't there a moderate "My shepard would never do that!" cry after arrival, just because paragon shepards thought they would never do such a thing, they got shuffleboarded into the same category as a renegade for a hard call (which, iguess, like most things in ME2&3 could be boiled down to poor writing).
vengeance without official sanction is still murder. as for the other: it's simply because shepard is a semi-predefined character, and therefor some actions happen/happened regardless: many people forget you can only roleplay within the constraints of the character as determined by BW at least in part.

So oyu resent the idea of the krogan wanting to expand?? Well, guess you don´t like how humanity intrudes everywhere (there´s a reason why humans are perceived as bullies by the other species), the turians and their "client" races (I wouldn´t be too surprised if they wanted to do the same to humanity, if the FCW had ended in their favor).
And we shouldn´t foget the salarians either; their ambitions are... troubling to say the least. I mean, uplifting the krogan clearly turned out bad, and now they want to do the same with the yagh?? Something tells me the salarians have problems with learning from their mistakes.
Anyway, my point is that no species, race whatever is innocent or better than the others. Even the peace loving asari clearly have a desire for power. An evolutionary trait, I think.
no i don't: i didn't like the way wrex was talking abot how they were going to expand though: empire-building sounded far too much like the "old" kogan for me. and hell, i love wrex - we still disagreed over that, though. I'd have liked the ending to be diferent just so i could see how that played out tbh. as for the other races, including the asari: they all have their faults, sure - again that richness is kind of stripped away by the ending though.

It's because (sorry if I offend anyone/you here) of the absolutely stupid and romanticized notion some people have that there are such things as soulmates/"one true love", that there is one person in all of existence that's perfect for them.
So, by that logic, how could Liara move on? Seeing as the Asari often have many romantic partners in their lives, they can't likely be soulmates with anyone. And if Liara is, then she'd be cheatng and undermining her and Shep's relationship by getting together with other people, obviously.[smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/angry.png[/smilie]
It's stupid, and it's just as stuupid as believing in a "happily ever after"(which coincidentally often is used as an ending tagline in stories after two characters have wed...life is not that simple and it's idiotic that some people believe HEA exists). Truth is, there are untold amounts of people that are compatible with each living person across the world, an astounding amount of people any individual could come to deeply love...but most don't have the resources to look internationally for them. Most stick within their chosen city or region, or workplace, or whatever. And that, by some coincidence, their "soulmate" was destined to live near them.
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. Had a related convo today with a friend, was frustrating.
TL;DR: People who think Liara is a bad LI because she'll eventually move on from Shep are ridiculous people who apply an idiotic fantasy to the notion of love.
i certainly believe in soulmates, and love at first sight, for example (hell i've certainly experienced the latter, the former... maybe, but not so easy). however i agree that that can happen more than once - the concepts are not mutually exclusive. As you said there are many chances for compatibility, given sufficient time and/or resources. "happil ever after..." is the silly one.
Retour en haut
