Liara T'Soni

We also have...

Ali Hillis, who's Liara from Mass Effect.

And then we had a cancellation recently, but one thing we always try to do is fill in, you know, get somebody else to fill in the role.

And we're happy to welcome back Peter Jessup, who's never been at the main Retro Game Con, but he was at one of our Retro Game Con spring events that we do a couple of years ago.

I mean, that's why so many people are like you got people like me that are like hugely into the Mass Effect series just because of the characters and the people that you interact with, you know, and those returning characters.

Like there's always the battle between who is Bay, Liara or Tali.

And it's Tali.

Like Liara is your ride or die, your best friend.

but just saying

tally would sacrifice a lot yes for love

right? There has to be consequences.

Yeah, I think one of the fun loops that we were thrown in Mass Effect 2 was definitely, you know, you have Ashley, Caden, Liara, and then Miranda comes along and is like, oh.

Or Jack, if you're into

Jack.

You are not

Liara.

If I don't have plot armor in Mass Effect, I feel like I'm just going to die no matter what anyway.

I mean, a lot of people got through to the end.

That's really tough.

Yeah, with Mass Effect, it depends.

If you can, like, if you can get some of your skills, like, what's one of the things that will, like, detonate with Liara's singularity? Oh,

like push and pull and lash and all that stuff.

[laughs]

Cuts, everyone dies, and you cut to, like, I guess, the far future, and it's Liara, the one character, as, like, a hologram.

And says, "If you're re- if you're, if you're hearing this message, it means we were all killed, and here's how to stop the Reapers," I guess.

You know?

Can you remember the name of the Asari that joins your team in Mass Effect? No, I can't, no.

It's Liara.

Liara,

yeah.

Yeah, because she's a princess.

This happens with the Ardat Yakshi, a rare subspecies of Asari.

It's not all Asari.

You can bone Liara.

So how would you change it? What would you do?

Well, the thing is, if I was going to adapt it into a story from a game, it would be more of, for example, Liara, I'd say would definitely be canon.

And FemShep.

Okay, fair.

comes a twist and it turns out that the Shepard on the Citadel is actually the Mass Effect 1 who was never on the Derelict Reaper and the likes and wasn't indoctrinated.

So Shepard used that to trick Harbinger and fires the crucible at the mass relay which then actually destroys the Reapers.

But then due to their cybernetics has to die in Liara's arms.

Oh, well, that's sad.

Yeah, Arya is over a thousand.

Yes, Liara, when we talk to her, is over...

Liara's 100.

When we talk to her, she's like, yeah, I'm only 100 years old.

And you're like, only?

She's got hundreds of years before she's ready for that type of connection.

Which

kind of puts Liara into perspective in our Let's Play.

Yeah.

But I'm talking Liara or Garrus.

Miranda, the racist one? Were you actually falling in love with them?

No.
