Oh, I definitely think it was handled poorly across the board. I was just pointing out that given Liara's empathy and strong sense of self-responsiblity that it wasn't totally out there that'd she feel as if she needed to get the Shadow Broker after all he did. She has valid reasons for wanting the Shadow Broker dead, both personal, for Shepard, and for the fight against the Reapers. If those reasons are strong enough to preclude her from being a squadmate, then the encounter should have been geared towards convincing and persuading the player of that from start to finish.Driveninhifi wrote...
To point 1: I agree that it would mean a lot to her, but it still doesn't fit that she'd let Shepard walk away to die again. She could feel very touched and guilty - but I think there must be SOMETHING forcing her hand. Otherwise why wouldn't she say something? Why wouldn't she try to convince Shepard to help? Shepard has a pretty big reason to want the Shadow Broker taken out, as it was his/her body!
If it's all Liara's choice, the motivations are very lame because it totally ignores what must be a huge internal conflict. They totally brush it off like it's a foregone conclusion she's going to stay on Ilium, and to be true to her character and what she's done it SHOULD NOT BE. It's poor writing.
To point 2: yes, the decision to keep Liara/Ash/Kaidan off the Normandy would be fine if they had sufficient reason. As it stands, Ash/Kaidan have a better reason to fight the Collectors than half the team, and Liara's motivations are too hazy to judge. It needs to be very obvious that she's doing it to help Shepard, or for the larger picture (as you said).
Really, the love interests from ME1 were handled horribly in general - the hand of the writing team is way too obvious. It's all so obviously forced.
The whole deal with the body, what happened, and everything else going on with Liara should have been handed to the player directly through an entire set of dialog choices. Just like you can sit there and find out 1001 facts for uniting Krogan from Wrex. Instead we have a lack of definition throughout the encounter, ending with one dialog choice that is in a bugged tree that a lot of people miss.
It's like Tali can't join you on Freedom's Progress because she has something she feels is important to do, something more important than going with Shepard to stop the Reapers. But she isn't slapped around and slandered for that, because later on you can magically appear just in time and resolve that situation for her. There isn't the chance in the game to do that for Liara, or even Ashley/Kaiden. So the burden is on the developers to provide a reasonable explanation why that can't happen.
Retour en haut
Then again, there's no header for clothes in the DLC listings we've found, so we're getting more than just that. Then again, I know we're paying more.
