Well, I for one am trying out the new Platinum difficulty level in MP... pretty intense and fun. Will be back to my usual Liara worship later

That difficulty is ... *sigh* I tried it once and said adiós on wave 1 Not good at MP at all. Thanks Promises and Ravii for the games.

....A comic strip I made and posted on deviantart, Liara isn't the main characters but ...

Awesome. It cracked me up

Do anyone think Liara (and the rest of the crew) found Shepard after he saved the galaxy?
Assuming the EMS was high enough and Shepard survived.

Liara and/or anyone else on the Normandy crew? No, they'll take a couple of days to get back to Earth from whatever planet they landed on. In the meantime Shepard is found by allied rescue parties that go searching through the Citadel for survivors.

At least, that's my headcanon...

Yeah I pretty much agree with Frudi's thoughts here. Personally what would have made the high ems destroy ending perfect for me was when Shep takes a breath gives us a few more minutes of a scene where an alliance soldier shouts to his/her commrades that Commander Shepard is alive, and for them to pull Shep from the rubble. Shep battered and bloody, being carried away by the soldiers as the Reapers fall around them, I know headcannon can fix this but I would have preferred concrete fact in that scene. Still Bioware confirming that Shep is alive in that scene, a reunion will happen even if it takes many months^_^

Still too bad we didnt get the much hoped for happily ever after ending. I still wonder if the galaxy is able to rebuild/repair the "severely damaged" relays without the reapers.

Haha, like she needs an excuse for anything.

In terms of fanart and fanfiction, how prolific are Liara fans in comparison to the other character fanbases? I almost never check any fan-created material centred around the other characters, but I've always got the impression that Liara fans produce a steady, consistent stream of content, and that she continues to be amongst the most popular characters in terms of the sheer volume of material.

The Liara section at ff.net is updated all the time, and there's always new fanart to enjoy at dA. I'm curious as to how other's perceive it, though.

Very much. You always see a new fan fic or fan art of Liara. She isn't only one of the most popular characters.
She is one of the most romanced characters in Mass Effect and with one of the most biggest fanbases in Mass Effect. The top three most popular characters are Liara, Tali and Garrus. They are some fans that percieve it as pandering and say it is writer favorism by how much content she gets. She also gets a lot of hate, but it is vastly outnumbered by how many fans like her.
 
But they are some characters that get a lot of fan created material like Tali, Garrus, VS and some others. Its just that Liara, Garrus and Tali are the most popular and thats why they get a lot of fan created material.

She’s certainly in the top 3 for all content, by my estimate. There is a lot of fic with Garrus and Kaidan, too (kinda odd considering Ash seems more popular in the game—but maybe that’s artist gender imbalance?), and a fair amount of Tali.  Another interesting metric is not just the amount of content, but the popularity thereof. For example, I’d say that your average Garrus/Kaidan story might have more readers (but I haven’t done the numbers). There’re probably also differences in the length of the stories—Kaidan tends to have relatively fewer one-shots (many of the commonly cited fics in this thread, for example, are one-shots or otherwise short). That’d be an interesting field of study. Maybe.

If you look at my fanfic list (see signature), you’ll notice significant differences between characters. It’s certainly not wholly representative, but…indicative.

Yeah they can be repaired it will take some time though, they've got plenty of reaper scrap metal and such to start repairs and if Hackett's end speech is anything to go by things look hopeful for the future post reaper invasion. 
Also I think the Quarians will more than likely repair the Geth as I don't believe star kids story of them being completly wiped out, when we reunite them Tali is impressed with how advanced the Geth can be in regards to repairing and helping their creators re-adapt into their natural environment, the Quarians need the Geth more so now than ever.

Thinking that I destroyed the Geth really irritated me in the destoy ending as all the work we had to go through to reunite the Geth and the Quarians, getting Legion in ME2, loved him one of my favourite characters in the series and getting the Geth perspective from him we understood their desperation so going through all that just to kill em off, grrr Bioware:pinched:
So I just think Star-kid is just a pretty banged up A.I and I don't believe alot of what he says in particular his dreadful circular logic<_<



In this scene I've never picked the other options, I always asked Liara for her opinion of my Shep, I love that scene:wub: I have no idea what she says if you prompt her what you want her to say in that scene:whistle:

dreadful circular logic

Which isn't actually circular, but never mind such minor details.

True, but it’s not sound logic, either. Still, perhaps we ought to nip this at the bud before the endings take over again?

Or else…

I chose the neutral option once and it's nice too.
@ Akernis: Yep. HK on DA is me.
Thanks everyone for your comments on the comic, I was afraid my poor sense of humour wouldn't work.

I think one of the things Liara has going for her is that she's romanceable by either FemShep or ManShep, thus increasing her potential fanbase.  That said, by my estimation the vast majority of creators of fanart/fanfic are female, which is generally why you'll see a lot of FemShep/Liara fanart/fanfic and less ManShep/Liara.  It probably also explains why there's not as much Ashley fic, which is frustrating because I need some insight into Ashley's character for the fic I'm working on and it's a PITA to try and find something that nails it!

Both probably accurate assessments.

Yeah, that could be a part of it. Plus, it’s not like Kaidan’s the most interesting guy in the world—or, well, he seems a little on the bland side for me—but Ash, in particular, didn’t have that much depth to her in the games. She seems a fairly standard marine grunt.

I looked over a couple of the Ash fics in the list since you last mentioned this, but I think Mel’s Ash in DE is still one of the better-developed ones.

Do you usually look at fanfics for inspiration for the various characters?

Tough one.

"It's a taxi, it has a fare meter."

Has to be top.

Edit:

Virmire; can't remember exactly. The "Sand in my... nevermind" one. a very close second.

I couldn't possibly list them

But the Virmire moment and the taxi are my top two!

Welcome back, I think most of us have been rather quiet the last few days, for wahtever reasons.

I have not tried platinum since I don't play MP for any other reason the just getting enough EMS to get the best ending. Not that it would make much difference I have trouple getting all the way through a silver level and has so far not beaten a gold mission. In general I suck at MP, and am only really good at SP.

My favourite moments are the sweet ones, LotSB post the SB-fight, the sex scenes, the farewells (gift and beam-run) and the timecapsule etc.

But I think the funniest scenes with Liara was probably the car chase and fight on the SB vessel in LotSB. In general I don't think that Liara's romance have very many funny moment, most of it is more along the lines of sweet, not that I mind but I would love to see some more humerous scenes with her, like we hopefully get to see in the new SP DLC.

I have not tried platinum.  (And I may never try it, lol.  I don't even really play gold much.  I know my weaknesses, and EVERYTHING is my weakness once you get past silver.)

What is your funniest and favorite Liara/Shepard moment?

Hm.  Funniest and favorite?  Easy!  That moment on Sur'Kesh, if you have Garrus, Shep, and Liara, when the yahg escapes.... 
"Careful!  There goes the next Shadow Broker."
"Could've sworn he was muttering 'T'Soni' the whole time..."
"Not funny!"

@themarshal: As a proud Ash fan, I consider myself well acquainted with fanfiction about her....  In the ME2 thread, most agreed that Badpie and SilverRose write really good interpretations of her.  They both see her differently, but they've given her a lot of thought.  Hopefully that helps?

Edit:
@Akernis: Yesss, someone else who is... less than apt when it comes to multiplayer.  I am unilaterally declaring us bros in this matter.
