Liara could be a squadmate in the ME2 expansion. emphasis on COULD.


That would be awesome!:lol:


there are hidden sound files in the game that suggest mission(s) against the shadow broker.  there is a sound bit of Liara confronting the shadow broker.

Empire strikes back story was just like ME2. It was hated by the fans. RotJ came out and now Empire Strikes back is a fan fav. The same could happen to ME2. Just wait till ME3 before you start bashing continuity and stuff. That is all.


What the hell are you talking about?  As someone who saw Empire when it was originally released everyone thought it was pretty much the most awesome thing since, well Star Wars.  And when we talked about it during the ride home it was "Wow, that was awesome", not "what the hell was that about".

And no ME2 is not like Empire.  Empire is great sequel that takes the original story and characters and BUILDS on them and takes the story down an unexpected but logical path and progresses the characters and their relationships.  ME2 does not.

Return of the Jedi had good parts...but the ewoks...ugh what were you thinking Lucas

This pretty much.  Where do people come up with this stuff?

Anyone that would compare ME2 to ESB has either never played ME2 or never seen ESB.  There is really nothing in common between the two.  Lucas never said to say "Go read the comic" or "Just wait till Jedi" for things to make sense and seem logical.  It already was from the start. 

Hell even the man that created Jar Jar Binks knew that you don't take established characters and just toss them out the window.  Just think about that for a minute.......

In the trilogy the middle part is always the hardest to do. Liara was stalled and kept away from your squad in ME2 and I am optimistic that in ME 3 the plot around her will be awesome. The devs were just bound to the guideline that ME1 LIs should not die and.. well... it wasn't handled the best way possible I'd say..


If I hear that one more time... :pinched:

Please. It doesn't excuse anything. It may be harder to do, but it's far from impossible. The matter of the fact is that indeed all additional parts of a trilogy, and all that continuity stuff, isn't a trivial thing to write. It is always going to require more effort and time than writing one self-contained story. But if you aim and promise to create a trilogy, you better make sure you are up to it - or leave it be and make stand-alone games. Which is in effect almost what they did, but of course they pretend otherwise (to boost sales no doubt). Fine, but then I'll judge it by that standard too and will expect what can be expected.


LOL yeah, "but second chapters are haaarrrrdddd" seems to be the common excuse. /shrug

Still the fact remains even if it is just an excuse, you only need an excuse when you've already done something wrong.

read the reception line, and if you want to see that that stuff is true, just click on the links at the the bottom. That is all. Theirs no point bashing ME2 story until ME3 comes out.

troll? How am I troll? I am infact proving a point, I will laugh my ass off if ME2 gets the same treatment ESB got when ME3 comes out. Then it will shut-up people like you who moan just because a character is not in a video game.

Hmm... am I going to trust myself, who lived through the period or a wikipedia entry that was probably edited by a 14 year old?

Their "sources" by the way are George Lucas commentaries in which he spends most of the time trying to justify the prequels by claiming that the originals were just like them.  So no, not reliable by any stretch of the imagination.

And no.  A film or game, whether the are part of a trilogy or not has work as cohesive story and satisfying work of drama by itself.  Saying "wait until part three" is a cop-out of the highest degree.  I wrote quite a bit about that a couple of pages back, I highly recommend reading them. :)

I want Bioware to commit to this lazy excuse of a cameo at least. Give it some worth. I dont want it to be "Liara did what she had to do, and you should just continue the relationship like nothing happened".


Well Dink, I'd actually be relieved if they did that.  If we can wrap up the whole SB story in the expac and BW simply just never mentions any of it ever again, I am more than willing to play along and pretend it never happened.  Like Superman IV, we just pretend it never existed.


To be honest though, Im just expectng an easy moving on for Shepard and Liara, so as to make the romance accessible to new players (because I dont think there is a chance in hell they will restrict the romance to ME1 players who didnt cheat. I imagine Bioware thinks its just not cost effective that way.)


Same here, kinda lame that ME3 looks like it is just going to be another copy/paste job retreading everything we already did in ME1.

*facepalm* funny because where I lived people hated ESB. I remember walking out of the theater and complaing. You forget what the point of the last part is do you? It's to tie everything together, the second act is to get things ready. ME2 did that with the Geth/Quarian war, Cerberus, the Genophage, the SB and even Miris father. If ME3 concludeds those and they tie into defeting the Reapers, gues what ME2 was in fact the second act and it will be better then ME3, becauset he whole Reaper story sucks compared to the side stories. You would see this if you where not high on ME love.

Just because you liked EBS does not mean everyone did, at the time it was a disapointment, just like ME2 story, so instead of bashing ME2 story or bashing the game because Liara is not in it, you should maybe wonder how the side stories will tie up. Good day Liara fans. If you overhype your selfs for ME3 like you guys did for ME2 you will be disapointed and thats your fault.

Troll meaning: The intent on getting a rise out of someone.

I am in fact trying to get you guys to open your eyes, thats not trolling. You guys are just being too stupid to even accept.

Ultimately though Dink, just why the hell are we having such an intense debate over something that's so poorly written and has got as many holes as it has? You saw the incredible frustration and anguish a few weeks ago when Redemption concluded, and it told us absolutely nothing. Diddly squat. No insight at all whatsoever.


Yeah seems like a lot of arguing over nothing.  We all agree the writing in ME2 was crap.  Lets just leave it at that. :P

Amazed this is still on the page, things really DID cool down immensely.

Thing is, les, in a meta way, they did screw up Lia's character -- the jury's still out IMO on how badly and how permanently, though I think the answers are 'somewhat' and 'not at all but they've got to work on it soon'.  And as she's only not on the Normandy because she's got to be saved for ME3 for sure, and that's only in doubt because of the edict that 'everyone on the squad in ME2 must be able to die' -- she was screwed up for the sole purpose of an all-encompassing, kind of stupid game mechanic.

I do think that there are good ways to explain her being off the Normandy, but ... they're currently making us do all the work figuring them out.  Thus, the heat all over the place earlier today.

(As an aside, sorry for being offended by what I perceived as irrational anger in that back-and-forth.  I am still too nice for the Internet.  And as another aside, did Dink react to Renegade like it was a bad thing?  I always fill my Paragon meter, true, but I take it as a matter of course to attempt to half-fill my Renegade meter as well, because I don't think Shepard is a superwoman who can save everyone.  Your mileage may vary, of course... and I may have missed context.)

Okay, that's all I've got.  Aside for some ideas for Lolasari's but I'll leave those for when I can find good pix.


Yeah. I mean, it's absolutely fine for me to post my theories, analysis, speculation and conduct in-depth discussion on what we think is going on with Liara, but when it comes down to it everything is being left so vague and cryptic that nothing really seems clear, or makes sense in some respects. Alot of what I theorise is based on evidence and what I perceive as hard facts, and I'm trying to analyse Liara's character as much as possible. The good reasons for Liara not rejoining the Normandy are very much there, but the problem is anybody can easily refute what I say by rebutting with "No, that's just your own admittedly justified analysis. Nothing is concrete at this point." Truth be told, that's pretty much what everyone is thinking, and it's why people went into hysterics through frustration when the disaster that was Redemption #4 was released a few weeks ago. It tolds us nothing, provided absolutely zero insight, and merely showcased everything we already knew.

Yeah, Dink did react to the Renegade thing in a kinda bad way. I wish he was around at the moment, as there are a couple of points I want to bring up about that. How me saying that demanding this or that of Liara, or expressing frustration for her doing whatever being Renegade isn't necessarily a bad thing. I do think though it boils down to whether you understand and empathise with Liara's plight, and show her some compassion. Of course, all of this would be moot if we were allowed to comfort Liara properly in-game, and help ease her of her guilt and sorrow. But alas, that would mean ending her current character and story arc, and therefore the reason she's not on the Normandy, and they can't have that so it's prevented in a contrived and stupid way. The Liara DLC looks like it very much will contain all of that and the status quo is being maintained for Liara, as I've always theorised.

I want to see your Lolasaris!!:D

Pic is definitely worth a repost. Beautiful pose Liara is holding, there. I love it! :wub:
