JP, unless you're being facetious, I think it's more due to the fact that Shepard's probing of Saren, and trying to convince him that what he's doing is wrong, allows Saren a brief period of lucidity. That's why he thanks Shepard, because it allows Saren to take his own life, to free himself from Sovereign's manipulation on his own terms. It's giving him back that one last piece of power, of self control, that Saren utilises to ultimately end himself, so that he's free again in death.

It's telling that Liara sympathathises with Saren. Because she is so compassionate, she realises that he is not acting of his own free will, and is completely unaware of the fact that he is being manipulated and controlled through indoctrination. It's very admirable that Liara feels sorry for him for this, and testament to her caring nature.

There wasn't a singular "bad guy" in ME 2. I wonder who will stand out as the Reaper's main agent in ME 3, unless of course we count Harbringer itself.


Probably Harbinger, you don't really know who/what he is for long while in ME2, may as well run with it in ME3 (BW Laziness)

Do you think she is still compassionate like that though in ME2?

The one line that really suprised me in ME2 was if you tell Liara that you wont help her locate the observer, and then she says that she will just kill all 5 of the suspects then.:unsure:

Apologies if this isn't welcome, but BioWare needs help in the Escapist poll. Vote here and support BioWare for the good work they've done!

I'm tempted to vote for Valve.  Really tempted.  I wouldn't call what Bioware has done to Liara "good work."

Had this poll been released when ME1 was new Id be voting for BW in a heartbeat.

Yeah, Harbinger was ok, but all he did was spout off stuff like a broken record in three different missions.  They definitely needed some kind of Virmire scene with him like they did with Sovereign.  A perfect chance for that would have been on the Collector ship when you're up on those pillars.  There wasn't a personal stake in ME2, no one to strive against.  You had "those Collectors" abducting "those colonists".

Myself and JP went over this yesterday. Liara is just being honest and forthright about what needs to be done. The fact that she's completely unwilling to kill all 5 suspects when that would have been the quick and easy way, istestament to her still intact morals and principals. She wants to avoid unnecessary bloodshed at all cost.

I'd say that yes, Liara is still compassionate in ME2. The fact that she has maintained her aformentioned morals and principals, and that she absolutely hates even the strongarming and threatening aspect of her job, tells me that she's just as compassionate and empathetic as ever. She's just in a truly awful situation, but is soldiering on due to the fact that she sees it as a necessity, not because she enjoys it in any way at all.

Yeah, I was just kidding with Shepard indoctrinating Saren.  I still have contempt for Saren personally, he was never worth anything but a bullet in the head.  I totally understand Liara having that kind of reaction to Saren being indoctrinated by Sovereign though.  Liara lost her mother to Sovereign's indoctrination Image IPB
Saren's plan was to use the artifact to defy the Council and exterminate humanity.  Kind of hard to have much sympathy for him that it went wrong and instead he's just added some more races to his extermination list because of Sovereigns control.

Bur he was going to change his mind at the end, but he was over powered by Soverign

I think the novel Redemption is set 20 years before the events of ME1.  Saren was a total psychopath before he even got anywhere near Sovereign.  He keeps cutting parts off a guy and asking him questions, then keeps at it until the guy dies just to be certain.  Then he talks to a woman with third degree burns who is the hospital, gives her a shot to wake up her up from medication she's been put under with.  The doctors gave him another shot to put her back under, but he just stands there and watches her go into shock and die so she can't tell anyone else what she told him.
So "back to normal" for Saren wasn't really all that hugs and kisses to begin with.  He totally screws Anderson over on that Spectre mission, kills several hundred people in the explosion (children included), and all so he alone can find out about the mysterious artifact so he can get revenge for his brother.  That is why Saren goes to find Sovereign, he hates humans and he hates the Council for stopping the turians from wiping them out.  Now he wants a way to finish the job himself.
It is pretty amusing to talk him into shooting himself.  What a chump, no wonder he was such a tool of Sovereign.  It is almost as if Shepard can indoctrinate people!

I felt for Saren a bit though, especially after he kills himself if you use Charm on him at the end in the citadel tower.

(Or intimidate too I am guessing)

Has anyone at Bioware actually mentioned it?

Image IPB

It's based off of this. The lead-in files are present on an install. Notice Thief and Veteran are there. That was Zaeed and Kasumi. It's just a matter of reading that top entry that says Liara DLC and then you realize what they have planned. Also, the download names show where the DLC starts. Zaeed says OmgHub, which is omega hub. Cithub is The Citadel. Nor = Normandy, which is the crash site DLC.

Not yet, but I for one am expecting confirmation of the Liara DLC soon after Redemption #4 is released, on Wednesday.

All current audio that was cut from the original release probably won't be reused. I'd imagine they'd record all new dialogue.

Not sure. I can't think of anything off the top of my head. Also, the Liara DLC lead in file is a different extension than the others. I have no idea what that means either. Her's is an adc file or something, the rest of them are p something.

Yep, in addition when Redemption was announced they said it would "tie-in to DLC being produced for ME2." Redemption is Liara's story, so therefore, Liara DLC!

twrhub is the file name for Illium, where Liara is located obviously! Look at Zaeed and Kasumi's DLC files, they both have Omega hub and Citadel hub respectively, which is where you recruit them.

I've no idea. I don't even know what it will be about. I just remember finding that little gem a while ago and what LET said. We know there will be some Liara DLC info after the comic runs its course. The files are in the game too. It's coming. We just have to remain patient.

Actually the book with Saren in it is Revelations.  I kept saying Redemption because I keep thinking of Redemption coming out soon.
Reading Revelations does make it really hard to see any positive aspects to Saren.  He murders so many people just to get his hands on Sovereign so he can use it to exterminate humanity.  He actually loathes the Council, and especially the Turian Councilor, for stopping the turians from wiping out humanity during the First Contact War.  He only uses his Spectre status to try and find a way to get revenge.
It has a lot of Anderson stuff in it too, so that was cool since Anderson is like Shepard's mentor.  It took twenty years for humanity to recover enough clout with the Council to get another person reviewed for Spectre status after Saren set Anderson up too.  The human ambassador then is a lot cooler than Udina too Image IPB

Ahh, I have a 360. I didn't know twrhub was the name of Illium in the file structure, not to mention it doesn't really make any sense. twr = Illium? twr in my eyes would equal tower or something.
