well she's clearly the one who gets the most attention, invading even your flashbacks...
they force her into you face whether you like it or not.....all that being said though she is very nice towards people, and understandable, unlike others who shall not be named *cough*ash*cough* and that just makes me see her as one of sheps best friends, someone to talk to, like garrus. romance? no, don't see it at all. I think she would fit with javik you know the whole love/hate thing

 How to love Liara.

"Freakly"

She blue, girl likes it weird.

[Arokel]

You can't force yourself to like an LI. Tried that with Ash. Did not go well.

Why would you try anyway? You couldn't get a good grip OP.

I really liked liaras character as a LI after lotsb.
A lot of people didn't like her character after she changed from being "innocent" to "ruthless" but I have to disagree a lot happened to liara in the events between me1 - me2 Liara developed as a character and became more mature. She was only being ruthless for a good cause ( saving feron, taking down shadow broker)

[D1ck1e]

I romanced her in ME1, but didn't think twice about going for Jack in ME2, and ME3. Altho I think Jack wasn't present long enough in ME3, at least I didn't get generic responses like "Good to see you" from her.

Jack's romance was a Purgatory bathroom scene short from perfect.

You cannot just "choose" a LI in this game

their character has to grow on you in order to like them.

just choosing a character because everybody else does it stupid.

You have to choose for yourself

This is why I never romanced her myself. Although I kind of wish you could start a new relationship with her in LotSB since Kaidan was busy pouting that you are with Cerberus.

I could write a long, gushing post about everything I like about Liara like many other people have; but thats not really the problem you're having.

As I mentioned in one of my blogs (linked in my signature) the ME series (ending aside) is remarkably well written and the characters very well, and realistically, developed. This results in people actually genuinely feeling for them. Happiness, sadness, anger, even love. You can't "choose" how you feel about the various people you meet in Mass Effect, you just feel that way.

 While I don't deny Liara is wonderfully adorable, lets not forget shes still a child in her race.  Every once in awhile flashes of her immaturity shine through.

[armondram]

I picked her for my main playthrough since in ME1 she was more like the scientist damsel in distress. Plus she came on to Shep hard in the beginning. I saw Ash as more of a comrade in arms, not as a love interest. When she changed in ME2 I thought it had to do with killing her mother and losing Shep, Plus shes the only one who really stuck it out for Shepard after the Normandy was first destroyed, True dedication. And Im a sucker for sea blue eyes

Liara is every nerds dream. Innocent, intelligent, faithful, loyal, virgin before shepard, obsessive and cute.

Precisely all the reasons why I didn't romance her. To me her character didn't feel real, she was too perfect, so I romanced Ashley instead. Sure, Ash is a real **** at times and she was annoying at parts in ME3, but she had flaws and those flaws made her feel more real as a character.

I honestly can't think of any real flaws Liara had, she was a bit of a mary sue.

[Noelemahc]

She's adorkable. She is also one of the two characters showing the most drastic character development regardless of the player's actions (the other one being Garrus), progressing from blind infatuation with Shepard (which is a crush crossed over with scientific interest for his sudden Prothean qualities) to fanatical devotion in ME2 (and in-between, if you read the comics) which sort of breaks her, makes her harder... until you reach LotSB and find out why she became that colder person. And in ME3 you get to catch up to her, share her troubles and problems and organize about the only happy family reunion in the entire series.

(for reference: Garrus goes from disheartened cop to vigilante wannabe with the Dr. Saleon story in ME1, you catch up to its consequences in ME2 when he's Archangel and has fresh dren to handle because of Sidonis, how you handle Sidonis ultimately settles what sort of person you view him as in ME3 (haven't checked yet whether it actually affects how HE acts, like not recruiting him in ME1 or letting/not letting him kill Saleon did for ME2) - is he a cop out of his league with delusions of grandeur or is he a battle-hardened bro or is he a cute cuddly alien reptile feline thing you just want to hug and whisper that everything is going to be okay to?)

And yes, Tali is also adorkable, but in a different way. She's more emotional, because that's the way her race goes, and for her kind intimacy is a treasure, and intimacy with someone not of her race is an aberration to be ashamed of, unlike the asari for whom the reverse is in force (which brings up more about Liara and her character if you stop to dwell on it)

(And yes yes, we are all aware that both of these dorks are girls and non-humans and they both will swoon over your Shepard regardless of your gender unless you were a total fekkik to them in ME2. So will Kaidan, and so might Garrus (even if you're a guy!) if you're friendly enough. But guess what. Humans do that sort of stuff IRL all the time!)


But, in a word? Adorkable.

I honestly can't think of any real flaws Liara had, she was a bit of a mary sue.

Just like Ashley, she has a rigid worldview. Recruit her after Virmire, look at that tantrum when she learns of the Cipher. Look at her frustration with Javik, her preconceptions of the Protheans smashed into hilariously tiny pieces. She recovers from all of that, and it IS a sign of good writing that it's all done in a rather believable way.

She's also an ethnic minority among her people, though it doesn't really play much into focus outside of fridge horror and her talking to Aethyta in ME3.

exactly, Liara grew on me over a couple of hours of ME1 (2007), never looked back since...

[kyles3]

I was always lukewarm on Liara, but I was really moved by some of the conversations she has with Shepard in ME3--so much so that I'm running through ME2 with a Liara-mancing Femshep to see what her ME3 romance is like.

[SmokePants]

Liara is too much of a workaholic to be a good LI. She is almost all business.

Plus, blue babies are gross.

This, totally.

[Silpheed58]

I actually liked Ash, but she was easily over shadowed by Tali, Liara is a good LI but her dogged pursuit of my affection kinda gave me pause.

The LI I was most interested to have was Samara, but that wasn't happening, but for just one moment. Almost...

[Versidious]

Eh, well, for me it was for the same reason I also romanced Tali in a different playthrough. She's not just intelligent, but genuinely intellectual. That's something I really like in real life, and naturally that made her one of my preferred characters in general (She'd like to see "Fewer explosions and more in depth studies!"). I wasn't overly keen on the progression to ruthlessness in ME2, of course.

[Pee Jae]

Those big, beautiful... eyes. Those blue, blue eyes. You could fall in there and get lost.

[Silpheed58]

Her SB costume does bring out her eyes.... Samara still hotter.

I never got the Liara thing too. Don't they realize that their 6 blue children will be soul sucking, life ending AY babies (Liara is a pureblood)? Think of all the lives you'll be saving...

Actually, AY are, as far as i know, pureblood. If one or both of their parents are pureblood then bigger the risk is.
It´s much like real-life inherital diaseases and syndromes where inbreeding furthers the risk of a person being born with said ailments.

Well, you could fall in there and get lost, too. Okay, that is a little freaky.... damn it.

[katamuro]

I like her but only as a friend, never got her as LI for my maleshep.
