Firstly let me thank you very much for your kind comment, and secondly I agree with you that Liara only played a minor role, however Bioware created one of the best dlc's especially for her. So ME2 is not that bad at all...
I know ME 2 was not that bad, But it was a dissapointment when I played ME 2 first (LOTSB wasn't release at that time), let me give you a copy of what I have written on this subject :
When ME 2 came out, I was so happy, I did all the quest quickly as possible to go to Illium to see my favorite asari. And then the dissapointment, just a side mission. And the dialogue here were unforgivable it was like :
Liara : Hey Sheppard I know that you are the love of my life and you just resurected after 2 years and i should be truly happy to see you. But because Bioware was so occupied for making useless character like Jacob, this reunion scene is gonna be short as hell and we are just gonna kiss and that's all, oh maybe two or 3 additional lines if you romance me as this scene will be pretty much the same if you didn't. Well I hope you can wait because you are not going to get anymore times with me until the next game.
Fans : WTF!
At bioware studio after fans have seen both Liara and Horizon treatment :
Developper : Hey boss, fans are fucking angry of the reunion scene of the romance in ME 2
Boss : Those damn bastards, how dare they refuse to accept that we never care for what they wanted. Ok get them a dlc if we want them to buy ME 3, we need to please them.
Developper : we only have time for one DLC
Boss : I will flip a coin, heads is a dlc for Kaidan/ashley, tails is for Liara.
I don't know how you do it, but every single one of your Liara renders is absolutely stunning! You have an incredible eye for beauty and an incredible talent for creating these head-swaps. Don't ever stop!
She is sexy, adorable, open minded, intelligent, etc. She is a godess, and you are giving her a damn good tribute, good job.
