@Han: I always wondered why that set has an alliance logo upfront. I liked her alternate appearance outfit the most, not much of an armour though you can say.
Yeah...I probably would have preferred either the Asari Republics or the Citadel Council symbol on that armor, if only because its unique and you don't see other Alliance personnel wearing it. If she were wearing a requisitioned set of Alliance armor you'd think you'd see Alliance Marines wearing something similar.
It's not just your basic armor, it also speeds up the cooldown on her biotics. So I assume it's custom made for her, or for the biotics in general. Presumably, it costs a pretty penny, that's why you don't see your regular grunt wearing it. But I agree, something other than Alliance logo would be even better.
But she does fill it nicely though...
Also, where do you get these pictures? They look like in-game screenshots, but I've never seen her in any poses like this and she is stunning.

That she does.
Some of the stuff being posted is in-game screeenshots and others are user created stuff. In either case, you can find it on tumblr or deviantart.
The Alliance logo is very out of place.. I see they even left the phantoms "pew pew" palm cannon on it..
She didn't in my game.
Liara surviving is part of my canon.

I think refuse and the low ems endings would have to be declared non-canon if they ever make a sequel

*image snipped, great as it may have been*
It works pretty well with high EMS Destroy as well, in my opinion. They would probably have to kill some of the characters, to hammer in the point that there were casualties in the war, but I very much doubt Liara would be amongst them. Sure, they would make some fans angry again(most notably all of Liara haters), but it was already proven that there's just no pleasing some people.

At the very least Refuse would be guaranteed non-canon.
As much as I want to see a sequel, I do wonder how they'd pull it off though. Synthesis, Destroy, and Control are so radically different from each other that it would be difficult to come up with a way to carry them all forward.
I think if we're seeing a sequel(which, from what I understand, is not a given), Destroy will very likely be made canon ending. We've seen so far that Bioware likes making destroying things in their canon. Unimported game presumes you've killed Wrex, killed rachni queen, let Council die... I'm sure there's more stuff like that, but it's enough to show a pattern.
Also, both Control and Synthesis present a problem where there's nowhere left to take the story. In the former, you have a god-like Shepard with an unstoppable army at her beck and call. Everything from mediating the conflicts between races to saving kitties from trees can be done by summoning a Reaper. And in the latter... well, Synthesis pretty much cures everything up to and including death. Not much further to take series from there. So yeah, if we're seeing a sequel, I'm betting on some version of Destroy and am very happy because of it.
Also, I just figured that Barquiel said non-canon. Derp!
Sorry about that.
I'd be happy with a sequel based on Destroy of course, but if Bioware went the sole canon route I'm not entirely sure Destroy would get the nod. It is a good possibility to be sure, as it seems to be far and away the fan favorite, but Synthesis was the darling of Bioware's lead writers. And those same leads are still at the helm.
The ideal of course would be to account for every ending choice and carry them over (minus Refuse), but I'm not sure how that could be pulled off.
There's always a possibility that the next game will allow import. That would solve a lot of problems, though, seeing the next game will probably be played on nextgen consoles, that would probably make that quite hard.
On another topic... how do you guys and gals usually build Liara in the third game? I usually put as many points as possible in Warp, Stasis, Singularity and Pure Biotic and what's left in Warp Ammo, usually giving her three slots in that. Now, I was considering pumping Warp Ammo full the next time. Has anybody done that? How did it work out for you? And if so, what ability did you drop? I was considering Singularity, since I think three slots are plenty and with last rank in Pure Biotic, you can speed her recharge time for 100%. Put the right armor on her and it goes even faster.
Or does the fact that she has fully evolved Warp Ammo render Warp itself obsolete?
In any case, I'd love to see how you build her.
but her health bar is garbage I'm sorry but 280 really.
She is the Mass Effect equivalent of wizard, what did you expect? And if they actually gave her decent health she'd be too powerful.
Well... more so than she is already.
I really like that re-textured mod for ME1. Too bad I'm not part of the "master PC race", otherwise I'd get that mod. I just can't play a game without a controller...
I'll see if I can scrounge up some more Liara pics in a bit.
By the way Von, have you been able to escape the wiles of Liara in this play-through?

It has been awhile since I've played but IIRC I had her set up similar to you. I definitely had Singularity and Pure Biotic maxed out.
I think with Liara the key thing is that her skillset primarily makes her crowd control. I used Singularity for her primary crowd control ability, but you could also max out Stasis instead (getting Stasis bubble). I think at least one of the two should probably be maxed out though. If you drop Singularity I'd recommend going with Stasis bubble.

By the time she is level 60, she has more than enough points to max four of her abilities. The one that usually gets dropped is Warp Ammo, because, as you said, she is primarily a crowd controller. But I thought I'd play around a little this time, see if I can make her decent crown controller as well as decent damage dealer. Warp Ammo performs quite nicely in damage department and helps stripping two of three defenses, but she doesn't have the best weapon choices.
I'll play around a little, see how it works out.
Here's a classic.
