I should be kinder on Shepard's birthday, but I keep remembering the bad writing, like, "You mean Asari can reproduce with their own species?"
And this if you're not with Liara on Sur'Kesh:
Shepard: Are the Krogan ready to fight?
Wreav: Are the Asari ready to mate?
Shepard (autodialog): On behalf of Liara, I am offended.
Yes, that is canon. It is spoken even if you are NOT a Liaramancer. I don't mind it if you are, but if you aren't, it is cringeworthy. I promise to try not to write cringeworthy dialogue for Shepard. Although it could be fun to have the other character give him s*** for all the potential bad lines that were spoken earlier in the story.
Liara (hiding in cover taking shots at the enemy): Shepard, I remember when we first met.
Shepard: Yeah, what about it?
Liara: You didn't seem to be very... bright.
Shepard: Are you saying I'm dumb?
Liara: No. No, not at all. I've learned otherwise since then, but you've got to admit there were things.
Shepard: Like what?
Liara: Like the time I mentioned I was a pureblood, and you were stunned. You didn't think Asari could mate with our own species.
Shepard: Well you don't as a rule. I didn't think it was a dumb question.
Liara: Now you've got me wondering again.
Shepard: Why?
Liara: How do you think we populated our worlds before we invented interstellar spaceflight?
Shepard: I should go.
Liara: Go where?
Shepard: To the next barricade. Come on!
