so.. am i the only one convinced Shepard and Liara do make babies before going to Earth in that last love making scene?

Reasons:
She says "Whatever happens out there I'm glad we're doing this"
and she has all this blue magical love asari baby making stuff around her in.. THE SCENE ._.

Nah, no baby making there ...

For one I don't think they are in that phase of the relationship yet. They just met each other again after months apart and in the chaos of the war they are lucky if / when they have a bit of time for themselves. I don't see them making huge 'let's start a family' plans in that situation, it's allready hard enough for them to really get the relationship going again at all. (Not because they don't wan't to, mind you.)

And then I'd say neither Liara nor Shep (mine at least) would accept the not exactly small risk of their daughter being born into a dying galaxy, doomed to live a (probably rather short) life in constant fear and terror.

But that's just my personal view, everyone is free to weave their headcanon as they like. That's the exciting thing about it ...

Just updated my fic, but the latest chapter hasn't appeared. On my profile page it says it has 3 chapters, but when you click on the fic, it says there are only two. been like 2 or 3 hours since I updated, is it just a matter of time? or have I done something stupid?

A new chapter should always appear immediately, but it could be that there’s some minor glitch. I’d recommend going back to the Publish > Manage Stories > Content/Chapters, and then using the Replace option to ‘replace’ your chapter 3 with the same document…that might kickstart it.

(If it doesn’t show 3 chapters in Content/Chapters, just republish it normally.)

I can write however while I like what I do I dare not put up my stories in a contest with most of your guys here, that is just asking a low position, people here are really good writters.

Hey, guys! I've been working on another story of mine in my Thessian series these last few days and I'm pleased to say that I've finally finished it! For everybody who is interested, the next chapter of Shepard and Liara's post-war lives can be found here: Lost in a Wonder.

Wonderful, I have been looking for a way to get back in inspiration, I will take a look as soon as I get the time to go through it

For the best Liara image i think most of us will agree on one of the 4 Liara "photos" made by pineapple. [/quote]
I don't think I can rate a single picture of Liara as being the "best" I love so many of her various pictures for varying reasons. 
the ones pinapple makes are fantastic but I still think it is a shame that they are in black and white, Liara's bright blue skin and beautiful deep blue eyes are one of her most appealing physical aspects to me. 
I think it was a real shame that in so many scenes in ME3 the ligthing was terribly unkind to her skin-colour, there was practically no scenes where her skin was visible in its true bright blue, even when she stood in natural light it did often appear more greyish than blue. I am also sad that with the exception of in the evacuation scene it is nearly impossible to see that amazing radiantly lustrous blue of her eyes that was so great in LotSB.

as a cmparison (I could not find some good sceenshots so bear with me):

ME2 LotSB


ME3 (I would have preffered to use a screenshot from the Citadel as it is most obvious there but still)

I sent a shepard to talk to the bartender, at the presidum (After the cerberus attack.)and he mentions one of his bartenders died. Could it be Liara's father who died?
[/quote]
No, after the Coup-attempt there are two asari who gives you side-quests, one of which is a military officer in Purgatory I can't remember the other, but if you complete their quests both will mention Aethyta by name, saying somehting about having her full backing as a Matriarch, as such she has to be alive after that.

How would you rate Shepard and Liara's relationship? And how compatible as a couple do you think they are? And how would you see their relationship progress in the future and last what issues do you think they need to address if any?[/quote]

10/10 for me! (with a Paragon Shepard)
Since in my headcanon Shepard and Liara go to Thessia after the war, the issues they would have is largely Shepard trying to get used to the things that are different there, but that is not necessarily relevant to their relationship. There is just a level of understanding between them that is admirable, really.[/quote]

Same here, the only real problem (my) Shepard and Liara has had in their relationship was Liara being afraid to open up again after Shepard's death and that got solved beyond all expectations in LotSB.

Hello fellow Liaramancers. Figure I might as well finally jump in here after months of lurking. I actually made a few sporadic posts every now and again on an old account back when this thread had, like, 900 pages.

[quote]Yuqi wrote...
What really brought it downas the freindzoneing. Sure I  get what they were trying to do, and I can respect it, but  the inconsistancy brought it down IMO. The fact that cheating sheps got more-or-less the same content as a loyal shepard,that  was somewhat annoying as well.
[/quote]
Though I would obviously have liked it changed I can ignore the friendzoning as it is in my view more a case of story/gameplay segregation and a bit of bad writting than anything relevant to the romance itself.
The cheating bit does get me though, while I suppose it goes to show how compasionate she is that she is willing to believe Shepard did not intent to harm her and is willing to make it work she still does not deserve to be cheated on and I think a cheater should get null and void's worth for doing that. 
Though at least she only sounds really unhesitatingly  happy and confident about their relationship to a loyal-throughout Shepard (if I am correctly aware).[/qoute]

I honestly find thats one of the worst things about the romance arc. It's like Shepard gets away with it, and liara seems too intelligent to let it slide completely. I mean sure she can hide it, but with  the way she hesitates in the pre-chronos scene. It..makes me doubtful that she is capable of 100% forgiving Shepard.

Re:Baby Topic

I thought if it happened it would be the gift scene. Imean especially with Shepard's WTF expression. That always gets  to me.

The penalty for cheating on Liara is poor narrative differentiation.

For shame.

Yeah i thought they did that in the scene in my last playthrough. But i just watched it again, and i dont think so. I agree with pineapple and others on thisone.

However i do think i just noticed her wink in that scene! It is nice to see her social skills improve that much since ME1.

(Just after she says: EDI respects your privacy, unlike me. *wink*)

Just to clarify: the idea with the DA creator is that once you’ve uploaded the DA image, you can replace that image file on your computer with one that has the exact same dimensions (e.g. a picture of Liara), and then reupload—and you’ll get the one you swapped in.

The instructions here are reasonable: http://social.biowar...2113/blog/4817/. Was it that following those didn’t work somehow?

Someone should tell Tali that offering people Jose Cuervo is considered an insult in Earth culture.

@Ananas: I like that sculpture.  IMHO, it looks like something that I imagine the early asari might have crafted.  I can just picture young Liara accidentally digging it up in a park somewhere....

As for custom avatars... clearly, I have a very dashing non-standard avatar.  A friend linked me to this blog entry that's pretty straightforward to use.  (Seriously, it is clearcut and stepy by step, or otherwise my primitive computer skills would not have been able to comprehend it).

Ya know - i tried to come up with a liara equivalent to that poster and all i could come up with was switching Liara's "By the Goddess" to "Buy the Guinness" or something there like. Although I really cant see Liara being a fan of the dry stout.

Agreed.

I think Liara's tastes would lean more towards wine, than beer.

Perhaps mead as well, since the Asari apparently brew something similar.

[lillitheris]

““Oh…” Liara started, the mere thought turning her stomach. She could not fathom how humans could enjoy the drink; to her it tasted like rancid juice. And it burned! The white variety, at least, was merely bitter like noq fruits, and she could actually drink a little if she ignored the feeling of heat in her throat.”

My asari mostly have unspoiled palates

In the bar on Illium Shepard can purchase a couple different drinks, one of which is Asari honey-wine. I don't remember what color the drink is when Shepard chugs it however. Patriarch (Aria's pet Krogan) also says something about an expensive version of it being sold at Afterlife, that is brewed at an Ardat-Yakshi monastery.

The instructions are easy enough to follow, but for some reason the folder I'm supposed to place the portrait in is nowhere to be found in my DA Creator files. Or maybe it is, and I'm just feeble minded when it comes to these things, which seems more likely.

EDIT: Top. Have some blue.

When we go to Thessia we see that much buildings follow a design pattern. Most of the buildings are of the same design or identical design. That surprised me. Humans architecture varies. You go to earth and you see that buildings are of different design. Are Humans really the most individualistic species in the galaxy? Also most of the building in Thessia have a blue tone. It seems that the color blue plays and important role in Asari culture.
