Bioware reuses a lot of the same voice talent, so it is always possible. Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale go back to Baldur's Gate.
Did you romance her character in that game as well?
No, she wasn't interested in my female Twi'lek 
As for the Baldurs Gate romances...Viconia

Been a while since I've checked in and since I just picked up Liara in my latest play through I thought I'd throw in some pics.
I just started an insanity playthrough of ME3 where I will be using Liara on every mission. Liara is also Shepard's LI. No doubt this has been done many times, particularly by people who follow this topic, but it is possible that someone here might be interested.
New one by asarimaniac:
I'm really liking their style 
Still not as much as Liara/default FemShep, but Kira/Liara do seem to fit nice together.
Speaking of Liara/default FemShep, I have some pictures for sharing, but I'm gonna wait for a while if anybody else has other pictures to share.
Wishful thinking with them with the new mako. If only...

Confession: I've never played insanity in ME3
Insanity mode is not that hard in ME3. I found it easy. Yes there is a couple of missions that are tough, but that is remedied by taking cover. I wonder why it wasn't like ME2 insanity mode which is a lot harder.

I encourage you to give it a try It's all in learning the patterns... well, that and sticking to cover a little more often 
Of course, having an imported, level thirty character helps a lot. It's a little harder than Normal, but not all that much and it's all worth it once you get that Insanity achievement. For me, Insanity is the only way I can play ME3.
I suggest vanguard or engineer for the first try. Both make it incredibly easy. With vanguards, it's all about charge-nova combo and engineer is great at comboing with herself.

Liara can be your most powerful team mate if you are a biotic because of her extremely fast cool downs on both Singularity and Warp. Liara does not work as well for an engineer because of the more limited combo possibilities. With a Sentinel or Adept you can Singularity>Throw almost as fast as you can identify targets (assuming they are unprotected). With a Vanguard, the combo would be Singularity>Charge. For an Engineer (and Infiltrator) you would mostly be using Liara's Singularity for crowd control. While her Warp can detonate fire/tech combos, its cool down is at best 5.42 seconds assuming you spec her for maximum cool down in both her passives and Warp, and put her in recharge armor. By way of contrast, her Singularity can be can achieve a cool down of less than 3 seconds, though I prefer evolution 6A rather than 6B in her passive, which gives a cool down of 3.1 seconds.
Liara's draw back is her very low health. To compensate for that you need to make sure you are ordering Liara into cover somewhere behind you while Shepard takes point. Do not let her run off and do her own thing. Her AI has too much Krogan in it for her own good. As a Sentinel you can increase Liara's health and shields by 30% by taking the 5A evolution in Fitness.
I find Sentinel to be the easiest class to play because of the ease with which you can combo with both tech and biotic team mates, and because of its damage protection.

Good post.
That one I think is key on any difficulty setting, though of course it becomes more important the higher the difficulty setting. Despite the low health Liara is a beast on any difficulty setting if used properly. It also depends on Shepard's class as well, or the class of your third squadmate. She pairs better with biotics who can detonate combos. A biotic Shep paired with Liara and Javik is god mode even on Insanity.

The Sentinel is my favourite class in ME3 and with Liara as your team mate you've got great synergy. For mooks and shielded enemies, your Overload to strip shields, her Singularity, then follow up with Throw. Rinse and Repeat.
For Armour I've found you can use her Warp, your Throw, and then you can get in another Warp-Throw combo while she's on cool down (as long as you're near 200% weapon weight). Brutes and Ravagers go down super fast even on Insanity. Banshees are a bit of a pain with their 'hand of denial' routine though. But then again they always are.
She maybe light on health, but she's got great crowd control and damage output.
And she looks great too.
I pair my sentinel with Javik and James, and I'm not regretting anything cause to be perfectly honest: dropping a singularity every two seconds becomes a little boring after a while.
As much as I like Liara, I'm done using her in ME3. And ME3 is set up in such a way that you can make anyone work with an adept or sentinel. James and Ashley? No problem. This comes from the fact that you can use throw and warp to detonate absolutely everything that's possible to be detonated. And.. whaday know, Lift/Cluster Grenade does the same (never knew this), as well as shockwave.
Hmm, I should've leveld Javik differen't to make use of this.
All in all, this gives Sentinels 3 powers that can detonate everything and Adepts 4, making your choice of squadmates redundant.
(use Slam as bonus power on Shepard and you have 4 or 5 of these bad boys you'd have to be a fool though, cause nothing is more awesome than Lash)
More Citadel goofiness!

@cap and gown: you make some good points and I will get to them... eventually. But this week has been semi crazy and I just can't find time for proper response. So have a silly comic for now and I'll get to your post later this week

You are of course correct, though personally, I find paring of adept Shep and Liara almost a waste. Or rather... I don't know, too much biotic supremacy Never got that feeling with vanguard at least. Yes, Liara and adept synergize almost perfectly, but when I was playing as adept, I found myself taking Liara along on the missions much less than with other classes, since I could do most of her work myself.
I'll admit I'm biased, since I love engineer the most of all classes and despite what you said, I still think Liara and engineer have a good synergy. Liara takes care of battlefield control and Shep takes care of explosions and hacking. Then again, engineer is my canon Shep and I just love the idea of a tech/biotic duo, who can rip everything before them to shreds. And Liara having Warp and being able to detonate fire and ice explosions and tech bursts is quite enough for me.
So yeah, I agree with you and everything you say, but still stubbornly insist that engieShep and Liara make a great duo

Yeah, she really starts showing that krogan side in the third game, that much is sure Sentinel is the only class I haven't played yet, so I'm interested: would that ability to buff the allies combine with the one of Vega? I believe his evolution gives the squadmates 20% more health and shields, but it never shows in their character screen, only on James's. Together with sentinel, we're talking about 50% increase and that's quite massive.
And speaking about this... how much more powerful would Liara be if she had Throw? Say, instead of Warp Ammo? Don't get me wrong, WA is great power, but Liara's weapon damage is almost negligible, all things considered. I don't think WA helps her that much in that aspect. But if she had Throw... she'd have a detonator for all of her powers and one with almost no cooldown worth mentioning. In fact, I'm pretty sure developers didn't give it to her just so she wouldn't be too powerful. There'd pretty much be no reason for any other squadmate to be there
Any thoughts on this?
And after all of that, have some pictures of Liara. Some awesome looking Liara first:

And FemShep flavor as well

i believe Vega's buff shows up on the squad screen once you are in the mission, but not while you are in the mission prep stage. It's kinda wonky. I do know that the Sentinel's buff shows up at least on the mission. You can see the buff to Liara's health and shields in this vid when I pick her up on Mars. And I am pretty sure Vega's, Aria's, and SentShep's buff's are cumulative.
Also, I would consider evolving Liara's Warp Ammo to Squad so that she can give it to the non-ammo power team mates.

That would mean leaving one of her other powers at less than fully developed. If I'd have to choose one, it'd probably be Singularity.
But it's a damn hard choice.
Also, it was more of a theoretical scenario, since I'm curious like that and want to see what other people think.
Anyone ever try going the stasis bubble route instead of singularity as her main crowd control ability?
I did just now, but not instead of singularity but more as an extra. It's alright.
I didn't use Liara enough to actually give a good opinion.

I ran her heavily with stasis bubble during my last run as soldier. Worked out pretty well, though I never ditched singularity. Supplemented one with another, I guess.
It can work, but not as well as combined with each other.

I love using stasis bubble in ME3. Perfect for capturing most enemies, including shielded and guardians. Basically anything that isn't armored.
I use it on Liara all the time, and I rarely use singularity.
