Out of curiosity... what is the reason for you Liara haters to post a gif or picture of Liara getting killed by Harbinger's ray as often as you can possibly get away with? Do you hope to instigate hate in Liara's fans, therefore fueling more hate towards what you perceive as righteous anger? Towards yourself? Do you just hope to get some... any reaction at all from people who disagree with you and like the character you hate? Basically, are you trolling for the sake of it?
It doesn't work on me... anymore. I don't think it works on anybody anymore, really. But yeah... it's kinda sad.
What do you care? Instead of defending Liara, you whine that someone else doesn't like her? Are you personally offended or harmed by that GIF? A GIF that you reposted, by the way.
She's one of my most loved characters actually, even if her story potential was greatly squandered by her quarter-assed implementation as a squadmate sadly.
I like her as a character in Samara's loyalty mission but taking her as a squadmate made no sense. Why would you take this criminal murder on your ship? Huh, no, Jack, go back down in the basement, I'm busy!
For me, it's a tie between Jack and Aria
Aria is infuriating in the same way. So Shepard, who stared down a reaper, the Illusive Man, hang up on the Galactic Council, took on the Shadow Broker, is not allowed to tell that smugly antagonistic douchebag to go f*ck herself? I really can't decide wjich one of them I hate more.
I'm with you on Jack being there, but since she is, I really like her loyalty mission. And I can't hate Aria as much as I hate that they built her up only for her to sit on the couch and do nothing.
Liara gets her own DLC dedicated to her in ME2 while Ash/Kaidan got nothing, Liara is not even close to being "hardly featured" in ME2. If anyone was "hardly featured" in ME2 its Ash/Kaidan.
Well the DLC is extra. Liara needed that DLC to better explore her character shift. I don't know why they never gave one for the VS. Maybe because they basically flipped Shepard the bird.
I've always wondered whether the increased relevance of Cerberus, at the expense of of the series' main antagonists, was birthed from some tug-of-war on the writing staff about where the story was going to go...
At some point early in development the devs had to sit down and come up with the basic outline of a story for their game. I wonder if not all of the writers who were or would be leads at some point, liked the idea of the Reapers being the main antagonist.
It just seemed odd that as the series progressed much more time was spent on Cerberus than the Reapers, particularly when you factor in outside media like the comics and books, which were nearly all focused on Cerberus. All of the novels centered on Cerberus with the exception of the first. It gives the impression that at some point the writing staff, or at least the leads, decided they didn't like the Reaper storyline...despite the first game establishing it as central.
Somebody or many people there fell in love with it, or at least the ME2 reimagining. They certainly liked TIM. I wonder if they were looking at Dragon Age Origins too and were trying to make another Loghain, who was the main antagonist despite the Arch Demon being the overarching threat. Of course, the difference is the Darkspawn were "over there" in the south of the country while the Reapers are already around.
Oh, you mean the character who's ME2 content was a mix of calibrations and a complete rehash of his ME1 plot line.
I'm with you on the calibrations but I love Garrus' quest in ME2. I see where you're coming from but I don't see it as a rehash. I like that Garrus is loyal either way because in both cases, Shepard is helping Garrus move on: either through vengeance, forgiveness, or at least letting go.
And the VS has oodles of content in ME1, especially as they are mandatory and you can leave liara until one of them is dead.
Face it its only through virtue of her absence on me2 that she features a bit more in me3 - but even then it's hardly a lot as quite a bit as Mike points out is optional.
Either Kaidan or Ashley could be dead and they didn't want to make the two the exact same. Liara is the only only one guaranteed to survive so they put more content that people are more likely to see.
