Speaking of which, what do you picture your Shepards doing with Liara once the war is over? Mine actually intends to resign her commission with the Alliance; her first interest was actually diplomacy, and that's what she wanted to be back before the Mindoir attack changed her life. I see her as being more of an instructor for new Spectres; now that the insanely violent/risky phase of her life has ended, she wants to be there for her and Liara's children. After they get married (which I'd initially considered as being private, but I think they'd be willing to have it be more public as a morale booster for the postwar) and go on a long, secluded honeymoon, at any rate.
For the better part of three games I roleplayed Shepard as the quintessential lifer. He was career military to the core, and utterly devoted to the Alliance and its warrior ethos. Being a Marine wasn't just a 'job,' but part of his identity. The fleet would be his home until the years had finally caught up to him, and he'd be forced into retirement. Basically a younger version of Hackett or Anderson, and just the sort of person you'd want at the tip of the spear.
By the end of Mass Effect 3 his outlook has changed somewhat. From Elysium to the Reaper War he's seen enough death and destruction to last several lifetimes, and there just isn't much fight left in him. He is tired of the killing, tired of seeing friends struck down, and tired of living a life where the next moment could be your last. He's proud of his service in the Alliance, but also ready to pass the reigns to the young lieutenants for whom the Reaper War was their Elysium. He is looking forward to finally settling down and finding that quiet corner of the galaxy to escape to, where he and Liara could live the rest or their lives in peace.
So I think Mass Effect 3 is his last 'adventure.' He quietly retires from the Alliance and tries, as much as possible, to avoid the limelight. He refuses all interviews and book or movie deals, and uses Liara's connections to assume a new identity and maintain some level of anonymity.
I see Liara remaining Shadow Broker for a few more years, devoting all her efforts and resources to getting the galaxy back on it's feet. Eventually though I see her stepping down as well, turning the reigns over to Feron, and returning to a 'quiet' life as a scientist and an academic.
Retour en haut
:wub: always nice to have Liara dreams
