You seem awful invested in this yourself, MalevoIence.
Just a hint: you should probably not get involved with anyone in real life. There's a chance that you'll die before they do, and then they might fall in love with someone else after that. It's a recipe for disaster, really.
Just made a simple thread, my investment is hardly comparitive to the 30k posts on some Talimancer, Liaramancer threads, just one of many threads I find interesting due to the responses I receive from some of you ppl. A threat here, Anger and Resentment there, and an occassional person who agrees.
And I'm not saying not get a gf in real life...... sigh, if you can't separate fantasy for real life, better not to say anything at all. I'm referring to, in regards to a game with comparisons of real life that who would you have a better chance being considered the love of their life? Someone with a similar lifespan, or someone who lives 1000 years. Unless you truly believe you'll meet someone who can live that long, I suggest that you never get into a relationship either, atleast with that person.
I think you're reading into the discussion a lot more than is actually there. Sure, people are interested and they're emotionally invested in the characters of the ME series, and so they can be passionate in making their points.. but this does NOT mean they think it's reality, this does NOT mean that they have anger and resentment in discussing this. It just means that they're having fun talking about this. Probably just as much to the point, the ideas that are being talked about, are ones that for the most part are relevant to real-life relationships, and how people deal with and understand them. In that context, one can learn something.
As to Liara, she doesn't seem to me like the sort of person who is just going to casually sleep with large numbers of partners beyond Shep.. if she was, she'd have been involved with many before she even met him. No, if anything, she's very very choosy about it, and not even especially interested in sex; she's doing more important things that truly matter (in the context of the ME universe)... and so, if she outlives Shep.. and that's *if*.. I think it'd take someone pretty unusual to claim her interest.
Lastly, people don't choose who they fall in love, it just happens. Things like age and living circumstances, and race don't even influence it... if you're in love, you're in love, even if it's with someone really inconvenient... or with issues like them likely outliving you.
Anyway, barring dying from combat, I doubt Liara will outlive Shep. I'd expect human medical advances in the ME universe, with the change that meeting the citadel races brings, to greatly increase human lifespan, to the extent that millenia-long human lifespans will be commonplace.
