Liara said that having a 1000 year life span can be a bad thing, as you witness so much death.

Liara didn't have that view until the war.  She also said she thought it was sad so many had short lives.  I think seeing people she cared about die(Shepard) then seeing all the death caused by the Reapers have changed Liara's view on things.

She was also very young. If the Asari are anything like humans in that regard, she probably didn't think much about mortality until she was faced with it. The war has aged her.

On a side, does this scene remind anyone else of Liara?


Arwen's tragedy


She kind of shares a similar fate as Arwen, though I do think Liara would eventually recover from the grief and find happiness again with someone else. (unlike Arwen)

Oh, and epic monologue is epic.

What would Liara show to Shepard in a meld if they would share one on the Citadel date?

Incomplete posts are the best!

The mood is much more "intimate" or "close" than in the actual Citadel date scene. The meld would be an image/memory -sharing kind of meld and it's not about Liara's childhood.

Hmm it's hard to say, I'd kinda like to get a glimpse into her memories at Serrice University or the dangers she encountered on her numerous digs, maybe to see what actual happened between herself and Benezia, how bad were the terms they parted on. Remember when Liara said what do you want me to say Shepard how much I mourned you, how your death nearly destroyed me, would Liara ever show Shep how she retrieved his/her remains or show Shep a glimpse into her life when Shep was dead? The memories would obviously be very distressing and painful to relieve but would she show Shep them to gain a closer bond perhaps, just thinking out loud?

Yep, this has always reminded me of the Liaramance a little bit as well. Not exactly the same, (Arwen will live forever, unlike Liara.) but it's similar enough.

Aside from the fact that Arwen will outlive Aragorn like Liara will outlive Shepard? Nope, no resemblance at all

Not really. You can check out at any time.

…

Again, “sample size” You didn’t tour any asari senior homes. The people you meet in adventures are kinda by definition fairly spry.

Also, despite BioWare’s par-for-the-course inability to keep their ducks in a row (enter the 1500-year-old rachni war veteran:mellow:), asari are supposed to live up to a thousand. At an extreme, they’d be overshooting it by <100 years. I don’t think any asari we meet are quite there yet. Around 900, maybe.

[DOsquareZER]

Think maybe... Asari "retirement" could just be a moment in their age where their wisdom surpasses past that of mortal desires and physical life itself, and they realize its time for them to let go of their physical anchors (their body). Rather than wait or have a body go old and decrepit, they go taking part in some sort of "suicide" rite to free their spiritual energies and find the greater consciousness. Rejoin the energies of old lovers, friends, universe.... Just a theory...
Im not sure how the athame old relgion would handle death, but it sounds fitting for that religious concept of what was it... siari? ionno would need to brush up on it.

So the the asari are cradle robbers *looks shiftly a round as all eyes glare angrily at him* i kid i kid... Why are you all looking at me like that the i... i.... *looks around at the spectres of threadgoers past closing in* i'm sorry...

But in all seriousness i never realized samara was that old and im glad that Liara wont ever loose her natural beauty.

Aethyta said while talking to Liara she was a 1000 years old and still didn't know crap.

Aethyta talk with Liara

[Han Shot First]

Siari and the Athame cult were too different religions actually, with Siari being the more common of the two. Siari also is apparently pantheistic.

Aethyta said while talking to Liara she was a 1000 years old and still didn't know crap.
Aethyta talk with Liara

Oops, guess I attributed that bit of dialogue to the wrong character. Liara does echo Aethyta's opinions however in ME3, though within the context of the Reaper War.

…Yeah, like I said, that’s just not really date material for me. In that context, it feels like admission of defeat.

For Eevy and Liara, such melding is most natural in those (very few) quiet nights where there’s time to just lay in bed.

Emphasis added. And probably exaggeration…

“Asari have a robust cellular regenerative system. While they do not heal faster than other species, asari are known to reach 1000 years of age.”

Anyway, whatever is your headcanon works. If they remain young and spry until they spontaneously combust the day and hour they were born 1000 Thessian solar cycles ago, so be it!

Also for Arcatye's date question i think it would be a childhood memory perhaps one showing a young Liara digging in the park for ruins and returning home covered in dirt all scabby kneed and grinning from eye to eye as she tries and shows Benezia some small artifact she found.

[Dragon_Claw]

Aethyta is probably the coolest NPC, but why do i feel that she´s a bit "off" in ME3 compared to ME2. Claudia Black is still her VA, but she sounds more rusty & her character seems more slow.

What do you guys think?

[mumba]

All I have to say about Aethyta is that she sounded like she had a blocked-up nose and that I'm looking forward to DLC that includes her.

[I WANT YOU TO FUCK ME JERY]

They changed Aethyta's appearance a lot too, although now that I look at it, it might have been to make her look more similar to Liara. Her nose and facial structure, for example, now seems to be a similar shape.

Plus the asari are like the elves of the galaxy, immortal, beautiful, wise and so forth. I adore the Lord of the Rings btw, never really could get into Star Wars, much prefer the LOTR universe and story, DAO loved it as it has alot of similarites to LOTR.

That damn mystery drink!  

I demand Aethyta as a squadmate in future DLC... With the commando leathers.

In ME2 in some playthroughs she had facial markings, I dont know if this was a bug or my game just screwed with me. Now that you mention it, I just compared her face from ME2 and 3 and you are right.

Seeing what Aethyta did in the Shdow broker vids, makes me really want her as a squadmate. It's kinda annoying how she vanishes into thin air after the Cerberus coup.

Didn't she die? After the Cerberus Coup there's talk at Apollo's Cafe about 'losing their bartender.'

Wouldn't be very believable though, I imagine Aethyta would kick the s*** out of any Cerberus trooper trying to kill her.
