~ In Mass Effect 1 she is most vital to the story since she can go in Shephards mind
~ She gets her own comic series and DLC
~ She saved his body
~ She can't die
~ She meets you really early in the game and her connection with the protheans again means she likely has plot relevance throughout the story

Do you think it was Bioware's intent to have Liara be "Mary Sue" or whatever you call them. I say this because every other squad mate can die and some do not have overall plot relevane like Liara.

that's all a matter of opinion. By ME3 nearly every former or present squadmate has huge importance levels especially the ME1 crew. She's definitely up there in importance but she's not the most important imo

In terms of plot importance, I think TIM actually has more than Liara.

I wonder if this thread is gonna turn into a flame thread.
Well the way Bioware puts her on us it would seem that way. Garrus and Tali seems to be like that too but Liara cant die.

I'd say she's definitely the most important.

I think Bioware are trying too hard to make her important to the plot imo

Sadly yes. Feels a bit forced IMO.

She's the only one in the past two games who can't die, so she kind of has to be.

Well, she is certainly the most important squadmate for my Shepard.

Miranda got her own comic and she brought Shepard back to life, effectively allowing ME2 and ME3 to happen.

Ashley is because she's mine! >=O

Probably Liara because she's blue. The color of Crip.

Crip Side!

ME1: Uh...yes without her Shep would've never been able to reach Ilos and stop Saren. If Shep does everything but pick up Liara he can't get to Ilos.
ME2: Uh...without her Shep wouldn't be alive to stop the Collectors
ME3: Based off the leak script the Reapers only become defeatable thanks to her.

Just this.
It wouldn't feel forced if other characters had a similar influence on the story. The only other character seems to be TIM.

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHAT!!!!??? I know the devs like Liara and I like Ali Hillis' voice as much as the next guy but this is going too far. PM please, I have to see it to believe it.

Yeah, and now compare it with the VS: seems the VS got all the drama stuff while Liara has a tendency to be a MacGuffin on her own B)

Without a doubt.
I would not only call her the most important squadmate, but also the most important character in the universe (after Shepard)... even if she is far away from being my favorite.

My urge was maxed out with LotSB. Bioware is going to troll me and keep her invincible in ME3. Oh well, they'll be happy getting my money. And I'll be happy letting Lt. Pierce, Malavai, and Corso (for now until I discover the other delicious male folk) lick my pixelated wounds.
