I wish she would though, even if it doesn't work like that. Obsessions aren't very healthy... (it is an obsession, right?)


Of some kind, yes. Even though you could argue that a happy, returned love still involves a kind of obsession to another person.


For me, it was always like a schoolgirl's crush on a teacher. And schoolgirls usually get over it very quickly. Sure, some do marry their teachers, but it's still a minority.

Joker is the only person who is with you from start to finish in every single game regardless of choice.


If this is supposed to be an argument, then you don't understand what is the purpose of a supporting character.

I mentioned that because it lays down the groundwork for the relationship between Shepard/Joker. I believe I said more than just that one sentence, but whatever.

I don't think you know what a supporting character is if you think Anderson is not a supporting character. His whole role in the story is his relationship with Shepard.

Then why post threads hating on the character when it is Bioware's fault there is such 'favouritism' (I still argue Garrus gets as good a deal as Liara). What Bioware did with the ME2 romances is awful and I fully support those trying to get them improved... but hating on a character for reasons outside of the character is unfair.

Also it doesn't matter if it is your opinion or not, it can still be offensive - especially if it is laced with snipes at fans of Liara.


Shhh... Apparently fans of Liara are the only ones expected to take snipes at them and say nothing. Now had this been a, "I hate [Ashley, Tali, Garrus]" thread... Then it would be perfectly reasonably for their fans to be in here retalliating. Oh well.

imo, the only character worth actually hating in the game is Star Brat, because he serves no purpose. But I'll let the other mancers continue to cry about Liara's supposed favoritism

Oh, don't worry. We don't like her. We're just being civil about it :)

Civil arguments on forums? On the internet?

I liked Liara in ME1, in ME2, she kinda annoyed ME2, cold and distant, and in ME3, she acts like a damn brat, almost wanted to spank her after a couple of missions...B)

Then after Thessia, I just wanted to tell her, "STFU!!! What, you haven't seen Earth, or Palaven, or damn near every other settled world in the galaxy!?!!? I'm sorry, are the refugees on the Citadel all just sight seeing?!!?"

Also, she's a terrible information broker.

Liara is my romance but even I find her plot armor to be annoying.

I love Liara, but I can totally see how someone could feel she was just forced on you.

I think her role is supposed to be Shepard's closest friend.


The fact that she starts off as a romance, a very obvious one, makes her just seem creepy if the player doesn't persue it. Its hard for her to build into a close friend after that. :mellow:

I mean I like Liara on the whole - she does have alot of annoying character traits though. Annoyingly self-righteous. Boring how little she reacted to her mothers death in ME1. In ME2 she came over as a bit crazy. Then ME3 she is a mary-sue.

My biggest complaint with her was her crying scene after Thessia. Earth is burning, Paladin is burning, and only Thessia makes her crack and whine like she deserves to be pampered. Everyone elses worlds have been burning for a while now.

Agreed with all of this. How could my Shepard possibly be best friends with someone who won't even give her breathing space? Liara is a stalker, not a friend. Speaking as someone who didn't speak to her at all in ME1, the two never had the chance to develop a friendship through shared experiences, Liara just pops up every now and then and has found out your entire life story through other sources. Creeeepy.

Thessia annoyed me too. Like my Shepard doesn't have enough burdens to carry already, she has to put Liara back together as well. If Liara was truly a friend, she'd buck up and be strong for Shepard the way Garrus is. Ideally, the whole group should have had moments like that, but that's another rant. It's scenes like that that make it hard to like Liara, not because it's unrealistic that she'd be upset, but because it feels inconsiderate of what Shepard (and everyone else who is losing loved ones and homeworlds) has to deal with.


Another thing that annoyed me was the Banshees, and Liaras reaction.

Husks are old news, but the most we ever saw was Ash/Kaiden going 'Ah... what are those things?'. No other squadmates care. 

Then comes ME3, the turians finally get their own husks - Marauders. All Garrus says is effectively 'oh would you look at that!'.

Then Banshees. While admitibly the most grusome visually, Liara is just sobbing and saying how horrible the reapers are for daring to do this. Daring to do it.

It just makes her (again) come over as a racist. She clearly holds her own people much higher above others, despite all of her asari philosphy that is supposed to value all life. Having no emotional response except to your own people is bad, they should have made her give some emotional response to all these situations if they were going to make her an emotional character to push the narrative.

And for me it was different. End of story.

Anderson is an important character but not a supporting one. He more or less tells Shepard what to do, but doesn't actively support him to actually complete his missions or drive his personal story forward.


Grmph, now you guys are keeping me awake. =_o

You know, you Liara haters should just make your own little thread in the Character & Romance forum so topics like these won't pop up every day.

It's getting a little repetitive. -_-

Pretty much agreed on all points. This has been talked about a lot already. Bioware pretty much shoved Liara down our throats and gave her "plot armor". The attitude of many Liara fanboys/girls doesn't really help either. At least, the attitude of the vocal ones.

And, as I've said already, she wouldn't be nearly as popular as she is if she wasn't a perfect sex fantasy for male gamers.  :whistle:


yes because no one has ever run into a female gamer who went with Liara......


no really, there are no such things as female gamers

<.<

Tell that to the female gamers on Youtube that were ranting about Mass Effect 3.


No he's right, we don't exist. We're figments of your imagination.

That's right you're going crazy.

I love Liara, but I like having her as a friend too.
It didn't bother me for instance that Liara may have gone with Feron, even though that turned out to be a silly rumour.
Garrus with Tali on the other hand...

I agree with OP actually. Liara was one of the characters I wouldn't have minded killing off.

It's your right to say that. Then I assume we came to agree that we just disagree. Better than most you'd achieve on these forums, isn't it?

And at least ist proves you still can discuss in a civilized way with people who have different opinions. Even if it's some Liara-fanboy like me! :P


Now, for the third time, good night. ;)
