Yeah, her romance was very poorly handled in ME3 if you were with her in ME1 and 2.

I remember towards the beginning of the game she called Shepard "commander" when saying goodbye during a private conversation. That sort of thing, plus the "just friends" on the Citadel, and the lack of acknowledgment of LotSB altogether make it a very strange and awkward LI path to go down.


The sad thing is, her romance is probably the one most paid attention to by the writers. The actual love scene, and all the time spent with Liara seems to be higher than 90% of the other romances. And even then, it still feels off.

They really dropped the ball on the romances IMO. Considering this is the final game, and we've spent so much time with these characters. I guess it just goes to show how focused they were on the reaper plot, they kind of put the characters on the back burner. 

Yeah, that's what I found odd about it too. Clearly it had more effort put into parts of it than the other LIs in the game, but at the same time it had the weirdest and worst writing.

I was actually pretty happy with the way Miranda was handled as an LI in ME3, fade to black and randomly reappearing outside the apartment aside. When Shepard and Miranda talked, there was an actual couple-y (please forgive the made-up word) feel to it. With Liara on the ship with you through the entirety of the game, you would expect that there'd be a similar dynamic but for the most part they seemed a bit distant and  "just friends" as she puts it on the Citadel.

It could be a bug i suppose. This may or may not be related to it but i have had Liara's pops refer to me as her boyfriend/girlfriend in three seperate playthorughs so far.

Miranda, Ashley and Thane may have something to say about that...


Oh yes, this happened to me. I made it very clear to Liara in Mass Effect 1 that I wasn't into her blue buns. But then Aethyta calls me her girlfriend. I was like... "I hope she means the kind of girlfriend that watches chickflicks..."

It's almost like the game is trying to force you to romance Liara at times. Seriously, why was my Shepard thinking of Liara instead of Tali while he was slowly being bruned alive by the color green?

Yeah, didn't understand the lack of a cutscene with your actual LI. That was... dumb. I wanted to see Garrus one last time! :wub:

Goddess knows what happens behind the black screen geez.. I mean I bet her dress flew out in 3 secs afte rit faded blakc in ME2 after LotSB while catching up with Liara

Already accounted for those. In ME1 she melded 3 times for the Cipher, 1 more in the sex scene. In ME2 she melded once in LotSB, then she stayed in that ship from then on like an Asian finding a free net cafe. In ME3, she melds with Shepard once more when Normandy was en route to TIM's crib.

So add it up: 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 6.

You can't simply say "when we're not looking, Liara did it with Shepard in the men's room, in the kitchen, on top of the Thanix cannon, in the med bay, in the AI core, and also Liara necro'd Shepard's corpse before she handed it to TIM".

That's not canon. And really, necro? Liara would never do that! You are a sick sick person.:lol:

Oh, I had forgotten about that. My first playthrough was a Shepard that had only romanced Miranda, and suddenly Joker, Anderson, and Liara are on his mind. Very weird.

Laziness, they didn't want to bother recording a whole new set of dialogues if you stayed faithful..

Didn't they say that those staying faithful to ME1 romance interests would be rewarded? Oh wait...

Did anyone else have a point to where you can't see Liara at all during the romance part towards the end? It's like you can hear her talking but she's not there then it goes to a different scene/camera angle & she reappears :/

The sex didn't happen. Shepard was just having a wet dream.

Ha! I remember a quote that talked about how there would be consequences if you cheat on your ME 1 LI, and you would be rewarded for staying loyal.




...Yeah, about that...

I cheated on my LI and all I got was "Did you and Garrus...?"

...

I wanted a battle! I probably got more reward in that one line than all the faithful Sheps did.

Didn't bother me since I romanced Liara in ME1, Tali in ME2 and back to Liara in the DLC... I wanted to make things work with Liara in ME3 and so it did, I just thought she was still bothered by the past and a little self conscious...

Just more choices that were supposed to matter and yet didn't.\\\\

I saw the cheaters get nothing special etc... or at least get a nice slap from Laira for cheating, or may a slap by a singulairy from her father?
Or maybe even Laira telling the cheaters to f off for cheating.. Come on, cheaters deserve to be punished...

Is it too much to ask? :o

Honestly, a lot of this just seems to smack of 'we didn't want to pay for more dialogue readings'

I think Bioware reached with this whole trilogy of choices idea and ended up tripping on their own shoelaces. So many choices I made only counted for one line of dialogue. I mean why would I care if the Rachni queen was spared, they were just going to replace her with another anyway!

No confirmation :
