Without spoiling anything, I'm quite glad to say that with the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC, BioWare has now addressed my concerns in a very complete, fulfilling way.Īfter receiving some information on the infamous, elusive Broker, Shepard returns to the aloof Liara and convinces her to help bring the villain down. After all, shouldn't my professed virtual commitment and continued fidelity actually count for something? I believed in that promise, and felt bitterly disappointed when it wasn't made good.
The developers kept telling players that choices matter that how the game is played will affect the entire trilogy. It was for these reasons that Mass Effect 2's abrupt, ridiculously truncated handling of Shepard and Liara's reunion felt not only implausible, but almost insulting thanks to how little attention it was given. She was my trusted teammate, my powerful Biotic, and my intimate partner.
As soon as Shepard was able to free her in the first Mass Effect, Liara became a core component of my experience until the end. While I'm certainly aware that not every player chose to romance Liara (if they chose to pursue a romance at all) she was my character of choice, not only during cutscenes on the Normandy, but through the entire adventure. It's been about nine months, give or take, but BioWare has at long last delivered closure to what was one of the most unsatisfying and unpleasant sequences in Mass Effect 2: the intense cold shoulder Liara T'Soni gave to Commander Shepard. WTF Who knew Legion was a hardcore gamer? LOW The best Mass Effect 2 DLC came last.
HIGH Getting the long-awaited resolution to a massive loose end.
