Most of Shepard gets. Read the forum.


Yes, becuase all the people who romanced Miranda (myself included) did that for "DAT ASS". It's not for her intelligence, or her personality.
Or it's not like the other Li for a male shep aren't beautiful women.

That is very true. My feelings towards it have nothing to do with why Liara's character development is not covincing or logical.


Well, that's good to know...because I found her character development convincing.

Of course it does. It's literally screaming TAP THAT ASS!!!!!!!!

Huge difference. You have the option of being quite rude to Miranda  while Shepard and Liara are cannonically friends.


You can be quite rude to Liara too, it's just she accept it more lightly then others.

Nah it's more like it's not consistent.

You can be rude as hell in ME1 (and it was consistent. Shep would constantly act like he didn't care for Liara) but in ME2 that all vanishes for most of the time until random moments where Shep acts either professional o somewhat harsh that are quickly glossed over by both parties before they go back to acting like friends.

I mean I'm not asking for "OMG LIARA YOU SUCK!" but the option for Shep to be cool and professional instead of hugging her and making jokes with her would be nice.

Hey, as far as I remember you can be dick to all characters in ME1 and they'll still be happy to see you in ME2.

EDIT: Hell, even Conrad Verner is happy to see you no matter what you did to him in Me1.

which I really really hated.

Especially when my renedouche held the geth data out of spite and Tali still went on about her crush on him. :sick: Garrus was pretty bad but that was the worse.

Cerberus gave Shep a personality transplant inbetween games. They must've.

Edit: Conrad is a fanboy. Of course he's happy to see Shep even if Shep was a douche.

The forced friendships with Garrus/Tali can be ended by killing them on the SM though. If Liara's killable in ME3 I'll have no complaints.

Then you know absolutely nothing about the prerequisites of (counter)intelligence gathering/siphoning which is, you know the Shadow Broker's entire job description.

Yeah I know, I posted in this thread again but only because Barquiel has me on her block list for some stupid reason or other.

I can't belive that. I can't belive that, man. You're so hating. You want to kill character because because of "forced friendship". I don't like tali either, but I would never kill her because i can't say her to get off my ship.
You're unbelievable.

Player's enjoyment comes first, if some characters get in the way of that then I'll certainly remove them. :police: It's not like they're real people.

:lol:

Yes yes whatever. Player enjoyment comes first. I won't need to kill her if BW learned that forced friendships are not enjoyable and throw my Shep's characterization out the window. It's not fun.

Allright, you have forced friendhsip with all characters. Kill em all off, then kill your shepard, because he's also forced to be friend with all of them, and stop playing game!

Except that's not at all true. Garrus and Tali (and Wrext to an extent) are the only forced friendships and yes in games where my Shep doesn't like them I either kill them off (Garrus and Wrex) or intentionally fail their loyalty mission so said friendship is "broken" (Tali.).

So yeah the overexaggeration isn't working in your favor.

I've always hoped for the "I'm glad you're willing to help, but please help in some place other than my ship" option. Killing off characters is a bit extreme and resource wasting (in theory they can help stopping the Reapers), being rude and leaving on Normandy - resource wasting, too.

Liara seems to be one of ideal candidates (along with VS and DLC squadmates) to get a life outside Normandy, so option to leave her be Shadow Broker in some safe place looks plausible to people who aren't looking forward to have her in squad.

Seriously I would've been just fine with this.

I really really hope it ends up being an option.

It's why I like morrigan (despite not liking her). I don't like her but I can ask her to leave 10 minutes within meeting her and then only have to deal with her for about 15 minutes of gametime.
Can't do that with the ME squad. :(

I think they're referring to Liara hugging you when she meets you in ME2, and the banter you have with her in LotSB.

Does anyone still laugh at the irony of Liara refusing to join Shepard at first in ME2 because of Feron and the only reason she actually found Feron was because of Shepard? All that time, Liara could have saved herself a load of trouble if she had actually gotten onto the Normandy and now people are saying it makes more sense to not have her on the Normandy now that she's the Shadow Broker.
Did the leaks actually mention the Shadow Broker's ship being compromised and Liara needing to run? Maybe that's a good thing that all that power is out of her hands. We've all seen what happened to the previous Shadow Brokers. Next thing you know, she'll be replaced by a volus.
I'm with Ryzaki on this: Liara will be a lot less obnoxious to have around when she's as vulnerable as the rest of the team.

Well then you're just going to have to hope and pray you can find a way to penetrate her thick plot armour plating.


I really hope so. Her plot armor needs to go.


Liara has no plot armor.  That's such a ridiculous notion, to label a main character as a Mary Sue or having 'plot armor' just because they play a larger role than not.

Yes because I clearly called her a Mary Sue eh?

(1) She's the best Prothean expert/information broker Shepard knows, which means Shep should talk to her often (to expose relevant plot points). If not in person, then it should be over hologram/radio. Which would make Liara the new Hackett. Now *that* is what I would call "contrived".

(2) She's also a Matriarch-level Biotic, the only squadmate (in fact, the only character besides Adept Shepard) in the trilogy capable of using Singularity. This means Liara should be fighting. If not by Shepard's side, she'll be fighting somewhere unseen. Now *that* is what I would call "contrived".

TL;DR: Liara *not* appearing as a squadmate in ME3 would be contrived, simply because of who and what she is, regardless of her relationship/friendship with Shepard.

Contrived or whatever, it's just bad writing. Plain and simple. You might like it because it concerns your favorite character, but when the story relies on one character moving significant chunks of the plot forward (when it could easily be written otherwise), then the story is getting lame.

Much emphasis on the "easily." Because that's what gets to most people.
