How liara is written actually makes sense in all 3 games if your going for her as a LI from the start. Bit obsessive but there's people being like that in IRL as well, its not unusual per say.
The thing is she is written to be like that even when you do not have her as a LI which is kind of where things went south.
This is the problem confining Liara's character development to comics and DLC...not everyone will read/play them. For example, Liara is rather sceptical of the Lazarus project. She says it herself (at the end of Redemption, when Miranda tells her about Cerberus's true motives)..."I really think you should let the dead rest..."
And Liara isn't the only one who was looking for Shepard. She was just the one who was successful because she received an anonymous tip from cerberus. Yes, she could have just ignored the tip...but why should she? Shepard is her lover, her friend, and/or the person who saved her life on Therum. Her decisions in the comic were pragmatic, but the game summarized the entire arc of ME:Redemption as "I couldn't let you go" (which doesn't make much sense for some Shepards, I agree).
That was actually one aspect of her character I didn't like. In ME1, she didn't seem to have too much of an issue with her obsession. I also liked the idea of the asari in general being able to move on and be content with their memories and I wish Liara also had that personality trait. It would have been nice if there were dialogue options to confront her obsessiveness and to help curb it. Kind of like being able to help curb ashley's paranoia of aliens if you romanced her.
There was actually quite a few characters who fell into the hero worship trap, and I wasn't a big fan of that added trait to those characters. I've been toying with the idea of starting a trilogy playthrough as a Paul Atreides or Duncan Idaho type shepard because of that. Haven't really decided yet.
Yet as a final note, it still doesn't cease to amuse me how polorizing a character Liara is on BSN and how many threads devolve into Liara hate threads.
