Morning Lizard!

Whilst I do think that is very plausible, you have to remember that Garrus had Renegade tendencies from the start. He was always something of a reckless hothead, and Shepard encouraging him to be Renegade is more like a natural progression of what he believes. With Liara however, it's alot different. She's never enjoyed acting in this somewhat Renegade manner, and has always retained her compassionate and caring personality traits. Encouraging her to become more ruthless and Renegade is not something she would enjoy or comply with whilst experiencing happiness, as they're not traits that are inherent to her character. She'd know that what she's doing is wrong, but would be encouraged to do so because Shepard would have her believe it's the only way. Would she enjoy or like this? I don't think so.


I know Garrus always had a renegade side to him. But the way he delivers and says it. Makes it sound less than "Im the new dirty Harry" and more like "Im Darth Garrus".

Also Liara would have seen Shepard's mind when they melded. Couple that with Shepard manipulation, and her love for Shepard. And you have somebody who could easily be changed.

I know what you are thinking. Liara morals and beliefs are not so easily changed, and that is certainly true... For ME1 Liara. ME2 Liara is walking on a dangerous path, and while a paragon can easily bring the kind and compassionate person back. A renegade will have much better easier time now to push her down a darker road.

I've got 2 Sheps who romanced Liara my Pargon MaleShep and my Renegade FemShep.
So I can try both options.

Oh yeah, I agree with that completely. With a Renegade Shepard's influence, Liara could definitely be manipulated and twisted into embracing this ruthless and aggressive facade. Shepard could easily exploit her suffering plus her devotion and use it to alter Liara as she sees fit. That's very likely.

What I wonder though is that if this precludes and prevents happiness and contentment on Liara's part, especially as she's being manipulated and influenced into acting this way? I argue that you can't really comfort her like this, as you're encouraging the pain and torment to fester within her, and allow it to consume her and transform her into a person she does not want to be. That's what I'm wondering.

You forgot her youth.
She's 108 in ME2 which translates to what late teens or early twenties?
No matter how strong a person is they are always easier to manipulate into a major personality change while young.

I don't think she'd view it as manipulation so much as being encouraged to emulate Shepard who is basically her hero/idol/beloved. People do crazy things for love. Sometimes they are even able to convince themselves that it's for the better.

Why be happy. When you can rule the entire galaxy! :devil:

Also renegade Liara won't need comfort. What happend before she turned renegade, she would view as weakness on her part when she "young and idealistic" but Shepard have made her stronger and wiser about life.

In short. I don't think she would want comfort. She would just loath how "weak" she was before.

I also get the feeling that she'd take a more......cold approach to the other squadmates.
Be a little less civil.

Paragon: Polite talk.
Renegade: Coffee Cup...or shouting match. depends on how mad it made her.

Honestly if Bioware gives us anything similar to the ParaLiara/ReneLiara options I'm going to have to try both. Just to see the difference.

Yeah, same here. I'd have to see how we get to the decision though to be able to see/imagine the possible outcomes and consequences my decision would have to decide what I (as in my main Shepard) would do.
In my other pts I'd try the other options then eventually.

If they have multiple paths for Liara to take, then I would defintly have to play the game several times. But as you said on the last page. turning renegade and rulling the galaxy with Liara would be too much for me to resist! 
:devil::wub:

Why be the hero when you can be the king?

No worries mate. Also i'm just used to play maleshep.

But you're right! Emporer is a more badass title than king!

ME3 needs renegade ShepxLiara as rulers of the galaxy!

Which reminds me.....
*KOTOR*
Revan: So why should I join the Dark Side...again.
Bastila: Well there's the power....Gotta love the power.
Revan: Agreed but there has to be more than that.
Bastila: You get a sweet black robe.
Revan: Black Robes are way better than brown robes yes. Needing 1 more reason.
Bastila: umm We get to be together.
Revan: I'm in.
Bastila: Really?
Revan: Yeah why didn't you lead with that one!
*awww those darn Sith!*
*credits roll*
Liara: Uhhh what was all that.
Shepard: Only one of the greatest games of all time!
Liara: Okaaaay.

If Liara and Shepard ever manage to take over the galaxy. Would Liara then flay the messenger bearing bad news with her mind, or would rather press a button to summon some asari commandos to beat him up?
