I feel like this has become a thread to bash people who simply think that Liara has some character flaws that need to be addressed. Please, this is just a thread to disscuss Liara's prominence and overbearing importance in the games, not a "Liara is the scum of the galaxy" thread.
Anyways, I never spent much time with Liara. I enjoy her as a character, and that she has the darkest drawn on eyebrows of any asari I've ever seen. In ME1 I didn't talk to her much (although I'm playing through again and following around every squadie and crew member for every last word they will share with me) but there was a definite shift in her personality from ME1 to ME2. She went from a shy, stumbling scientist to a confident, in control information broker. I thought it was a nice shift, shown that she had grown up a bit; that perhaps her time with Shepard had shown her that she needed to be more aggressive to get along in life.
The hug that takes place when you meet her on Illium also didn't bug me, in fact I was rather happy with it, but then again in my play Liara was like a little sister to my Shepard. However, I can see how this would irk people who's Shepard's didn't have a good relationship with Liara in the first game. For example, one of my Shepards has the same relationship with Miranda as Miranda has with Jack. If said Shepard was to go and hug Ms. Lawson, I'd be horrified.
As for Liara giving over Shepard's body to Cerberus, I find that a bit odd. But then again, Cerberus told Liara that they were planning to rebuild Shepard, then I might understand why. Liara knows about the threat of the Reapers/Collectors, perhaps she also thinks Shepard is their only hope of defeating them so an offer to bring back the late specter, even from Cerberus, would be a route she would want to take.
As for the whole table thing, yes it is somewhat silly that Shepard would grab Liara and leave his/her LI to be smacked by an incoming table, but then again Shepard's squadmates are the elite of the galaxy. He/she hasn't recruited pansies that can't take a table to the face, so I find it odd that whoever Shepard brought along got "knocked the **** out." </Chris Rock>
Then I've seen mention of Shepard's dog tags. While it's true Liara gives them to you if you bring her back up to your cabin for some quality time perhaps that's the only time she has them? It would make sense if she had them if she's Shepard's LI/friend, and after all you don't have to get all touchy feely to get them. If you don't invite her up perhaps she never got Shepard's tags.
To sum this up, hopefully her all mighty plot armor gets taken for ME3, because it's true what some others have already said. No one should be safe from the Reaper invasion.
