You know, it's posts like these that really prevent me from taking 'Renegade' players seriously. When I see people trying to legitimately argue that someone is mentally impaired for being upset at the extinction of their species, how can I possibily take that as anything but the laughable joke that it is?
Never was implying that she was mentally impaired. Her focus is just massively skewed at that point. Look at Shepard and Garrus. Their homeworlds are burning, but they both take a very pragmatic course in dealing with it. Liara seemingly panics at the beginning through to the middle of the Thessia mission. She knew this was coming. She was one of the first to even
know about the cycle of extinction and the Reapers. And at the point where it mattered most, she broke down and began lashing out. This is why I wish that it was
optional to take her with you to Thessia.
And the Asari were about as "extinct" as the Salarians, Humans, Turians, Volus, Hanar, and Krogan at that point. Just look at the Elcor. Little to no colony worlds, a puny Navy, and their homeworld was decimated by the Reapers near the end of the game. Only a handful seem to make it out and they go straight to the CITADEL (a place that is later usurped by the Reapers). Most likely, once the Reapers are defeated, the Drell will be close to extinction and the Elcor may be endangered for centuries.
I'm not saying that Liara's breakdown wasn't unrealistic. I was just annoyed by it and wanted to slap some sense into her...
