It is true there is alot of that in this thread, and I'll admit to a bit of it myself. But I do try and keep things in perspective. I can be a rabid fan of Liara in one moment, totally pessimistic in the next, and to round it all out, I try to be relaxed and easy going. Life is too short to take so seriously, let alone something that's meant to be entertainment. Find those little moments that bring joy and ignore the stuff that doesn't. You'll live longer be happier.
Death can put life in perspective for people. As morbid as it sounds, people get horny at funerals, and alot of people meet and make connections at them. It's an odd thing, but when you see death, you think about life, it's just something people do. You want to grab a hold of what you can, because you might lose it tomorrow. You want to bring life into the world because you just saw how fleeting it can be. It makes death easier to deal with, when you feel you have control over life, if not your own, then making of a new one.
I know we'd all love to learn more about Liara and her past. However you know it will never happen, unless it's a book, that takes place before the events of ME1. Liara is 106/108, that's a long life time to cover and lots of adventures happened in that time, I'm sure. I'd for one buy that book. But you know they will never take the time put that information in game, it'd take too much time and cost too much.
Just remember, that Shepard knows everything about Liara and that has to be good enough, because we aren't going to get better then that. It's a little bonus we have, over the other LIs, it makes it all feel deeper, knowing that Shepard and Laira have shared every detail of their whole lives with each other.
As for Dragon Age...I got it thinking I might not really like it, but I was surprised when I did. Best game ever? No, not by a long shot...but it's not bad, and that's about as good as you can hope, in this day and age.
Well, I'm not too sure Shepard
does know everything ... they were together for what, a month total? Though I agree, it makes sense that they should've talked off-camera, so to speak, in the probable month-and-a-half or so that the mission took.
I still think that we should learn more than we did, and if they put it in book form I
will pay hardcover prices to find out. As would probably a lot of us -- how many of us squee'd over Good Night Little Wing a few pages back? And that was just a silly picture, right? No, it was a look back at how our Lia might've been. I really wish they would have had at
least another conversation or two in the first game, and they'd do well to consider adding at
least a few lines to the next game or the expansion pack.
And Dragon Age to me is like 50 hours of awesome.
