I don't think Bioware should be writing characters around their optional romance content. It makes them come off as well... stalkerish.

Also did anyone read past the second paragraph?

I see. Hopefully it was something better than what I have in my avatar.

I dunno.  Her mum is Benezia after all - tell me she didn't observe some ruthlessness during her teenage years that she might have applied later.  Plus, she is a quarter Krogan and her dad is pretty awesome - Asari genetic memories and all that.  She's certainly extrememly intelligent and somewhat reclusive (evident
by her 'shyness' in ME1, and the fact that in both ME1 and 3 she's
always hanging alone in the ship as opposed to say Garrus who's bro'ing
out with Wrex or Vega).   She hits the right 'requirements' for being
the Shadow Broker.

Also, I think her story works better in the context of a Shepard romance.  She pretty much falls head over heels for Shepard, and takes Shepard's death at the start of ME2 pretty badly.  Hence her turn to a 'darker' side.


I agree

As much as I like Liara, I always wonder what made her so important compared to every other single character in the game.

Liara is a snooze. Yeah she's the BW golden (blue) girl, which I wouldn't mind if other characters weren't left so mangled at the side of the road in her wake.

I also don't get her tacky sharpied on eyebrows.

Someone is jealous that their character didn't get enough attention, amirite?

Was something wrong with the other thread on this exact same topic?

I found her character a bit 1 dimensional for sure.

Also, the kicking thing may be the best line ever.

She doesn't have a shotgun like Tali has, and "Dat ass" like Miranda.
So, I'm okay with her being favorite pet.

Basically the archeology is her passion. Brokering was her ambition.

Well, she's an asary, if remember correctly, in shepard's words "Everybody finds asary attractive", another element of being the center of attention of everybody is in ME2 at the bar in Illium, you see a salarian having a bachelor party, in one of the banter you hear a turian, a human and the salarian saying that the asari looks like turian, salarian and human.

Another thing that i found interesting is that since ME1 she has been the center of attetion, because without her you wouldn't be able to find Ilos, maybe the writers were attracted to Liara because she's an asari.

You can't spell Liara without LIAR.
Plot twist?


Just out of curiosity; did you character keep that modified hair from ME2 in ME3?


No, they replaced it with something else.


It was very depressing, i like the hair T_T

No, I don't think so. At least, not any more than Tali or Garrus were "writer's pets" in ME2. I thought that was kind of a waste of dev time, but I don't begrudge fans who went down that route their screen time with their favorite characters. I'm cool with it, there's something for everyone. I'm not going to nitpick over how many times someone has their picture in the yearbook.

No. Regardless of that fine shade of blue you have, making monster threads like that can't be forgiven.

Tali and Garrus were more like "fan's pets" than "writer's pets".

Perhaps, but so are Garrus and Tali. The writers favor them because the fans do. It's as simple as that.

What if I were a shade of red?

Or maybe green?

I think she's great for a love interest, but for those that didn't romance her she seems a little too perfect. In the LI story arc she's afraid to lose you, feels like she hasn't helped you out enough, she's scared to be alone without you etc.
