A lot of the stigma surrounding video games is because it is a new media medium. Video games have only been around for approx. 35 years, as opposed to films, which have been around for at least a century. Any form of derision against video games, unless it is justified, can usually be attributed to society's relativly new introduction to this new medium.



And despite what some may think, video gamers are getting older: it is estimated that the average gamer is around their lat 20's early thirties.



Anyway, sorry for the abrupt interruption. Where were we?

[CM26617]

Of that, Shavon, there is no doubt in anyone's mind.



Speaking of which, and Im not sure if this has been discussed here before, but how would we as gamers would have improved that scene (apart from Shepard's continual silence)?

[Dark_Helmet]

A hug.

A kiss.

Something.

I mean it's their first meeting in 2 years dammit!

What about the portrayal of Liara's character, given the fact that the past two years have affected her? Any suggestions for how this could be either made clearer or more approprate to the player?

[Dark_Helmet]

Uhm allow a Charm or Intimidate option to get her back to her old adorable self?

A paragon interrupt.

A renegade interrupt.

An attack by flying Urz?

That's all I've got.

[Dark_Helmet]

*sigh* I hate it when everyone disappears.

[CM26617]

That's timezones for you, Helmet. They can really become an inconveniance.

[Dark_Helmet]

*channeling my inner Lorik Quin"

Indeed.

[CM26617]

Speaking of which, I gotta bolt. See ya!

Liara's the ONLY reason Shep's still alive...

Minor correction Cypher "alive again" not "still alive"

It's really disappointing. But I suppose that's the nature of the "news" sometimes. A lot of sensationalism and exaggeration - that's what draws audiences. Seems to me that people were playing the telephone game and things escalated from "sex scenes with mild nudity" to "full-frontal nude rape simulator." And then someone from Fox hears the rumors and thinks there is a gold mine.

Yes and that's what's to be expected especially if you happen to do something that tests the limits of the norm and BW  with ME1 did that and did it well. However if they did indeed back away from their vision in ME2 and continue to do so in ME3 then everybody will know it was because they lacked conviction and probably loose interest in their games. Liara has a strong fanbase and a common theme accross the boards is story and how much better ME1 was with that. The stats they're seeing I'm sure suggest sticking to their vision is in their best interest so I expect Liara, Ashley, Kaiden and story fans will provide enough 'encouragment' for BW to follow through even if it means O'Rielly will holler and scream. At the end of the day game sales will win out. If BW is measuring the strength of the Liara character they're finding out she's much stronger than they thought.

Bioware lacking conviction?
Do you know anything about Bioware?
I mean look at the BG series.
Look at ME.
Don't say that Bioware lacks conviction.

Yes...I missed it the first time as well.  When I travel through the 'Investigate' dialog tree, I tend to go from the top option to the bottom.   Damn thing is bugged.

If I have to be serious. Then I assume by "evil" you mean renegade? Because then my answer will be the same as before today. Renegade Shepard will turn Liara into the equlievant of Benezia.

And on that note: Good night!

Did no one ever get Liara the Colossus light armor?
