Did someone on the writing team has her for waifu when they make the sequels?

>>714770602 (OP)
liara was cute in ME1 as the young (for asari) scientist finally going out on her own. then she got overpowered and boring

Modern Bioware is dead. They've said they distanced themselves from the cancer that was the veilguard team but I don't believe it, companies don't work like that. Somehow, someway, cancerous writing will taint the new mass effect game and will butcher what little good will Liara has.

>>714770883
By the time Veilguard was in development, Bioware already dead for years. The dev simply left once EA took over

Which is the best romance in ME?

mass effect is pure garbage. rpgcodex thinks gears of war is a rpg.

>>714770883
mass effect and bioware died when they got rid of drew karpshyn (the original writer) in the middle of making ME2. he had the whole trilogy planned out but bioware wanted to cut costs and didn't think spending money on actual good writers was worthwhile and shit went downhill quick

>>714771650
I remember he downplayed the effect he could have had on 3 saying many people wouldn't have liked it no matter what but I think he was being too modest. It wasn't just the storyboard but even the regular conversations that went downhill significantly in 3. imagine making an rpg and thinking the writers of all things should be nickel and dimed

>>714773302
I mean like all mystery, it pretty hard to make the reapers motivation make sense

>>714773302
it wasn't just that. me2 was going to be focused on the dark energy and dying stars problem but the writer that replaced drew came up with the retarded collectors plot that literally accomplished nothing

>>714770602 (OP)
Bioware is utterly dead, move on. All the good developers are either gone or brain rotted.

>>714771650
They ruined the Ilusive Man so hard, the shitty writer hated players liked him in 2.

Crazy how Liara and Asari in general were barely used in the marketing of ME1.

>>714770602 (OP)
No, they just had to have the "sexy blue woman alien race" because every generic sci-fi show and movie at that time had one.

>>714776958
My point is that they turned her into someone fanfic for the sequels.

do you have any expectations at this point?

>>714778008
Let me play as an alien pls

>>714778008
i expect it to be a funny shitshow and i cant even get that

>>714778008
The fact they already confirmed it to be connected to Andromeda is already DOA for me

>>714770883
>>714771220
bioware (and ea) are garbage from top to bottom, and like >>714771650 said, bioware is a shell of its former self regardless

>>714778008
>You play as the son of a Shepard and must reclaim the fish of destiny or forever be the duck
Day 1 wikipedia synopsis read-through for sure probably

>>714771650
Drew wrote the Revan novel, he's not as good as you think he is.

Would destroy ending kill all of the Quarian eventually? Like they said that they need at least a decade of genetic manipulation to re-adapt to their world and leave their suits but with all technology destroyed, their suits would failed too.

>>714779380
Considering how fast the ships in the end slides recovered I don't think the suits would be off long enough to kill them all but I absolutely think they'd be fucked up quite a bit

>>714779857
Meant for
>>714779527 I'm retarded

>>714778008
hell no. bioware have not made a good game in 15 years

>>714779857
Then there the people who were on the ships when the Reapers blew up, and the people on space stations, the people who on uninhabited planet that need machinery to breath,...

>>714780186
Did the blast wipe out all tech or was it just AI and navigation? I legit can't remember.

>>714780319
All tech, but I think that got quickly retconned via patch to only wipe out AI and spare the hardware.

>>714780319
It basically an EMP that wipe out every technologies. Not permanent mind you but probably long enough to cripple the tech that people were using to live in space.

>>714780585
>Everyone in space surrounding the crucible is fuckin dead
Fuck

>>714778008
It will be the final nail in the coffin for BioWare.

It's insane that after Anthem, they tried again to make a live service game with Dragon Age: Failguard (originally developed as a multiplayer game).

Now, they're making the same mistake for the third(!) time with Mass Effect.

>>714781109
Not like Bioware can say "No" to their corporation overlord. EA basically want multi-players live service games and not single player RPG

>>714778008
If bioware had an ounce of talent left it'd be a small scale story during the rebuilding period as the various races squat on earth and the citadel ruin. But no it'll be bigger reapers that the regular reapers kept away by preventing anyone from becoming teched up enough to attract.

>>714778008
>Shepard. I can't believe you survived and then mysteriously disappeared again for 47 years! Unfortunately the genophage cure turned us all into dinosaurs that reproduce via budding. You have to save us.

>Did someone on the writing team has her for waifu when they make the sequels?
Yes. She's very clearly the intended main love interest of the Mass Effect trilogy.
>she's a romance option in every game, nobody else is
>she's the hardest character in the trilogy to kill
>she's got more love scenes and one-on-one scenes with Shepard than anyone else
>most of the "bigger" romances in ME3 require already romancing them in a previous game but you can romance Liara out of the blue in ME3 even with no prior rapport
>she is available to both genders in every game
>infidelity in ME2 is usually impossible to get away with without breaking off the relationship first, but you can cheat on someone with Liara in ME2 no problem
>she's by far the most direct romance option in ME1 that invites the player as opposed to Kaidan/Ashley who take their time (also "ninjamancing")
>even in her friendship route she has some more-than-friends moments with Shepard
>in the case you dislike her there's no meaningful way to act on it (while other love interests can not only be killed but sometimes their whole species screwed over)
The "writer's pet" reputation exists for Liara for a reason.

>>714778008
I expect a shitshow on the level of Veilguard

>>714781256
>Bigger reapers that the regular reapers kept away
I know you're right and I'm sad. Can't wait to see what they pull out of their ass and connect to Andromeda.
>Andromeda isn't moving towards the Milky Way because of gravity, it's because Andromeda is a giant hostile space monster! That's why it's moving faster now the Reapers are gone!

>>714781441
>she's the hardest character in the trilogy to kill
This so much. I think the only way she can die in the entire Trilogy is if you romance her in 3 but your war assets are so abysmally low that everybody but Shepard and Anderson dies on the final charge for the Citadel teleporter.

>Mass effect in the big 2025
>After ME3
>After andromeda
>After all the other bioware garbage

I hate Liara. I hate her voice. I hate the way she speaks. I hate the words she speaks. I hate how she is thrust down my throat at every opportunity. I hate that she is a writers pet. I hate that the writers are passive aggressive if you romance anyone else at any point. I hate. Hate. Liara. Perfect Hatred for Liara. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE LIARA SINCE I BEGAN TO PLAY MASS EFFECT. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION UNSOLD COPIES OF MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA PRINTED ON WAFER THIN GAME DISCS THAT FILL MY LOCAL GAMESTOP. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DISCS IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR LIARA AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR LIARA. HATE. HATE. No blue titmilk is worth this. I'd rather get with the green Asari from Feros. I'd rather go gay for Geth. Why is this raspy blue cunt always in my peripheral vision? If there was an option at any point to kill her I would do it every single time. I'd choose the refusal ending in 3, knowing it would lead to her death but OF COURSE she gets the last word. Fuck Liara. FIGURATIVELY

>>714779857
Most likely.
Initial thought would be that it only targets sentient machines, but the relays prove it damages advanced technology, which should then impact the suit rats.

>>714779380
You play as Shepard.
They are a robot now using memories uploaded from the geth consensus.
I am 100% confident of this.

kek
also bioware still exists? i thought veilguard killed them. they were so desperate for a director they got the sims mobile bitch

>>714782023
I, too, hate Liara, though more of an abstract offshoot of my main hatred for the asari species in general and biotics as an overarching part of the setting in particular
if she were any other race she'd be meh or maybe even fine, but she's an asari so she's shit-tier

>>714778008
I mean the jacket looks cool but that's about the extent of it

>>714782159
Honestly, this wouldn’t even be the craziest twist they’ve pulled in the series. “Shepard.exe” running premium Geth subroutines with occasional memory lapses like some cybernetic PTSD? Totally on-brand for modern Bioware. They’ll milk nostalgia while shoving transhumanist themes down our throats, all layered over procedurally generated sidequests and clunky dialogue trees. I can already hear EDI doing snarky exposition dumps about how Shepard’s new body is "technically property of the Quarian Republic."

>>714770602 (OP)
>>714778008
No.
