Not that I'm a big fan of Liara or anything, but this got annoying by the halfway point of the game.

EDI: "Shepard, let me assure you that SPC. Traynor is spectacularly awesome.

EDI: "Have you noticed how spectacularly awesome SPC. Traynor is, Shepard?<_< 

Well, Tranor *was* a better information broker than Liara.   It was no secret Liara was an Information Broker on Illum but too many in ME3 know she's the Shadow Broker.  

I like Liara, I like all the characters to degrees, there isn't one that I can point to and say "I don't like this one."  Sure I have my favorites and hate they don't get as much screen time as Liara.  That's the devs not Liara. 

Traynor was written as a better source of info in the game. Then they made sure to have EDI remind you at every turn. 

Liara was also written to be the Shadow Broker. Regardless of how it was written, it's still a fact of the game that Traynor provides more intel then the Broker. Shame really...

Do you think that is Liara's fault? Or the writers?



Oh.....you're right about one thing though....it was a shame.....I was annoyed by Traynor the moment I saw her....

I can't blame a virtual character for not being useful.  In terms of in-game analysis, yes. But I don't do that - I have so many Shepards that I can't ever say that my Shepard wanted to throw so and so out an airlock. 

Liara not being an effective Shadow Broker is just part of her lousy, Mary-Sue (if you haven't read the scene notes for her entrance - look them up - it's terrible) writing. I loved Traynor don't get me wrong but Liara's writer should have been a little more concerned about her job as a Shadow Broker and not as Shepard's therapist/stalker/unrequited love interest. I loved LotSB and was dispointed that it wasn't utilized at all really.

Traynor's character was a waste of programming code. Not only did she have the most annoying accent ever, there was nothing she did that couldn't have and shouldn't have been given to another NPC.

As you guys have mentioned, the intel she gave should have come from Liara and I didn't need her telling me that I have messages. The light on the message terminal blinks to tell me that.

Playing chess with her was also a waste of time and added zero to the story.

All in all, she was a total waste of time.

So basically "I thought the ending was crap but I'm just a VA; WTF should I have done about it?"

The interview clearly states that Meer hasn't even played the game yet, much less experienced the ending. All he said is that the writers' vision, which his job as an actor was to convey, was not necesarily what he expected.

Don't put words into his mouth that he never said.

Nooooooooo! The one thing that ME3 did not need in it was more Liara!

Can you imagine that kid VA? I wouldnt like to put "did the voicework of the child at the end of Mass Effect 3" on my resume.

If I was his mother I'd ground him.

It's not the kids fault... It's the writers!  They really could have come up with a better dialogue and more conversation interrupts to make the conversation interesting and at least more satisfying than it's currently.

I'd actually be interested on his and Hale's thoughts on being made to voice the dialogue of the worst genocidal maniac of all history and possibly any fictional setting ever as it pathetically tries to justify it's psychotic and murderous acts.

So you will ask her about all the genocidal maniac stuff FemShep could do in the entire trilogy? Sniff sniff, I smell some Paragon bias here.

The Renegade interrupt should be the option to just walk through the catalyst in a very rude fashion and blow up the pipes as soon as it's mentioned as an option!!! Now that would have been a great renegade option.
