There is too much missing from the scene (mostly on Shepard's part. Goddamn ******, comfort Liara!) for it not to be noticed or planned ahead of time for the sake of DLC.
The Liara reunion is impossible to be a developer oversight.
Playing through the whole game watching Shepard's reactions to meeting all the other ME1 squad mates makes it seem even more outrageous ! So why ****** off the Liara fans with such an unemotional reunion?
And I know you guys have been trying to answer that question for 200+ pages but it bugs me to no end... that better be the best darned DLC/expansion ever. And post-suicide mission too. No retconning.
Okay, first off, my reactions about the reunions with the other characters ...
Garrus was pretty much exactly right, as was Tali. Even if you think Garrus is just a drinking buddy who's got your back, that's about how you'd react, right? And Tali seems to be the sort that would be a bit taken aback, then be damn glad to see you. Again, that's pretty much what happened.
Wrex,
again, perfectly in character for my taste. He's got way too much to be doing, otherwise he
would be coming along. But he pretty much adopts the krogan you
do have along with you and with good reason.
Now, I can't speak for Kaidan since my only import so far (I was actually an Infiltrator for that run, which was hell on the Thorian mission, but that's
way off topic), Kaidan was on the tower and I went to defend the bombs. Having said this, I personally like Ash in general, and not just for being able to hold an assault rifle the right way
, though I took her xenophobia to be rampant cynicism masking her personal experiences. Not that that was an excuse, but it really didn't affect her performance, did it?
Having said that, Ash at Horizon ... was totally schizophrenic to me-as-Shep. Compliments me, shakes my hand, and starts ripping me a new one for not calling for two years in the next sentence? Can't be persuaded that maybe I've got a clue what I'm doing? Though maybe she should be acting like that ... but it's just not consistent within the scene. It's not
like Ash to not give the Commander a fraction of the benefit of the doubt. But what's really worst in my eyes, is that this is all we get of her. This is how they keep the surviving Alliance soldier alive to the third game, by showing "(s)he's alive, and pissed," LI's get an e-mail later, and I wonder why Kim and Rafael even showed up for this game.
Honestly, I almost feel like we
are lucky as Liaramancers... even if we hate LiLi's dialogue this game we can at least go to her office and stare at her, which is more than Ash and Kaidan romancers can say. But I think that we can, and probably should, blame that dissatisfaction on either the mechanics of end-game, which truth be told turned out to be kind of a gimmick to my way of thinking, or just generally rushing the writing process. Probably the latter as a
result of the former. We have the lost files that to our eyes don't make sense -- though to be honest, to some of us,
no reason for Liara staying away from Shepard will make any sort of sense, though I'll give full marks for effort, if they make one -- and we have a scene that feels like you can see the particle board and smell the spackle.
And amazingly... I'm
weirdly grateful for it. I swear, it even feels like Jen showed up for work that day (
), Ali was her usual awesome, and but for a missing two lines, a confusing animation and a missing hug, we'd have a
lot less angst in this thread than we do -- and I'll bet money we already have less angst than either Ash's thread and/or Kaidan's already, right?
