Liara T'Soni/Unique Dialogue

On occasion when Liara is in the squad, she will engage in conversations unique to her.

Mass Effect

Unique Dialogue

Throughout Shepard's travels, there are specific points where Liara will voice her opinions.

• On the Citadel:
  • When inquiring about Executor Pallin's views on Spectres, Pallin says that he's never had to bend the law and Spectres walk a slippery slope. To this, Liara replies, "That is not a completely accurate analogy, Executor. You cannot deny that some C-Sec officers are corrupt." if the other squadmate is Garrus.
  • During the Citadel: Asari Consort assignment, when meeting the consort for the first time if Liara was romanced, Liara jealously asks what she wants with the Commander.
  • While talking to Charles Saracino, if Saracino is asked about what Terra Firma stands for, he replies that Earth must stand firm against alien influence. Provided Ashley isn't around, Liara observes the bigotry in the statements of some protesters around them. Saracino thinks it isn't her business to meddle in human politics, but Liara points out that whatever the Alliance does affects everyone around it. If Shepard tells her to be quiet, Liara quickly defers to the Commander.
• On Feros, when Gavin Hossle tells of the danger in recovering his data, Liara says, "People are quick to assume we enjoy being in hazardous situations."
• On Noveria:
  • At Port Hanshan, while talking to Lorik Qui'in about Matriarch Benezia, Qui'in comments on Benezia's outfit and the reaction it had with the younger males. Liara remarks on young males' unhealthy obsession with the asari.
  • At Peak 15:
    • If Alestia Iallis is questioned about Matriarch Benezia while Liara is in your party, Alestia rudely suggests that Liara should answer the question instead.
    • During the confrontation with Matriarch Benezia:
      • Liara elaborates on the lack of positive things to say about Benezia when the Matriarch asks how Liara depicted her mother to her new friends.
      • When Benezia starts slipping back into indoctrination after a moment of lucidity, Liara desperately implores her mother to resist.
      • Liara calls out to her mother as the latter bids her good night for the last time.
    • When talking with Mira about activating the neutron purge, Liara also urges Shepard to be careful and read any controls before pressing them. If present, Kaidan or Ashley respond dryly that it's always a good idea to RTFM, a term Liara is unfamiliar with and asks about.
    • If Shepard questions Mira in the neutron purge room about Matriarch Benezia by asking "[i]s there an asari here?", Mira replies that there's an asari she can't identify standing next to the Spectre. Liara deadpans: "How you tolerate literal-minded VIs is beyond me."
• After discovering it was Cerberus who used rachni at Depot Sigma-23, Liara surmises that Cerberus may be a bigger threat than previously assumed.
• On Ilos, after Shepard ends the conversation with Vigil to resume the pursuit of Saren, Liara asks Shepard to wait and suggests that they spend a little more time talking to the VI, citing a great opportunity to learn more about the Protheans.

Talk to Squadmate

There are certain areas where if you talk to Liara, she will offer her opinion.

• On the Citadel:
  • When near the Relay Monument, talking to Liara will cause her to remark that the relays were the Protheans' greatest creations and offer additional comments about the symbolism behind the monument.
  • When near the Krogan Monument, Liara comments that "Some want to see this krogan monument removed. But it is important to remember our history... Even if those memories make us uncomfortable."
  • In Dock 422, Liara is transfixed by the sight of the Citadel, which she refers to as the greatest achievement of the Protheans.
  • When spoken to at the Council's chambers in the Citadel Tower, she expresses her awe at standing in the very place where the Council makes "important decisions" that affect trillions of lives.
  • In Flux, if you talk to Liara, she will be prompted to say "Why is the music in these places always so loud? It almost seems as if the people here want an excuse not to talk to each other."
  • In Chora's Den, Liara will say, "We asari are more accepting of our sexuality than most other species. Some club owners like to exploit this by hiring us as dancers."

Spontaneous

Sometimes Liara will say something spontaneously, without being prompted.

• If Liara is in the squad during Ilos: Trench Run, she marvels at what secrets might be held by the Prothean bunker, annoying the other squad member and causing them to remind her of why they are there. Liara then apologizes for getting caught up in the moment and expresses her wish to study the ruins after the mission is completed.

Mass Effect 3

Unique Dialogue

Throughout Shepard's travels, there are specific points where Liara will voice her opinions.

• During Priority: Palaven:
  • On the shuttle, Liara stares in horror at Palaven burning and asks Shepard if Earth had to suffer the same fate. After Shepard answers in the positive, Liara says "Shepard, I am so sorry."
  • After finding out about the death of Primarch Fedorian from General Corinthus, Liara tells Shepard that the turian line of succession is very clear, with the next more meritorious eligible.
  • While talking about Adrien Victus, Liara gives a little background on him to Shepard once the Commander asks about him.
  • If chosen to repair the comm tower, Liara tells Shepard "I'll get right on it. If you can keep husks from climbing up behind me, I would appreciate it."

• During Priority: Eden Prime:
  • On the shuttle, Liara reflects "Eden Prime. This is where it all began." She reminisces about the origins of their journey. She expresses distress at the colonists' suffering at the hands at Cerberus, wanting to save them if she could.
  • After determining the existence of a living Prothean, Liara is very excited at the revelation, talking about their apparent culture and how it relates to the ancient asari.
  • After Shepard is able to access the information stored in the Prothean data banks, Liara surmises that it must be the Cipher which they got back on Feros years ago.
  • After awakening the Prothean, Liara cautions Shepard to proceed carefully, saying that it has been 50,000 years for them which likely has been just a minute for the Prothean.

• During Priority: Sur'Kesh:
  • While on the shuttle, Liara will reassure Wrex that they'll bring the female krogan back. Wrex will say, "I appreciate that Liara. I wouldn't want anyone else along for the ride." Alternatively, if Wrex no longer trusts Shepard, Liara will defend their choice to destroy the genophage cure data, leading Wrex to assure her he has no grudge against her as well.
  • Entering the facility, seeing a container holding a yahg being handled, if the Lair of the Shadow Broker was completed, Liara will remark, "I had hoped to never see another one of those again."
  • Conversing with the Urdnot leader before heading to the elevator brings out interesting exchanges with Liara:
    • When Shepard asks about Wrex's inside source, he will not reveal it, brushing it off by making a comment about it being the sort of thing the Shadow Broker would know about: "Too bad I don't know him. Or her." Liara will reply, "I'm sure the Broker was very busy."
    • When he mentions that curing the genophage would enable the krogan to return to "saving everyone else from giant monsters", Liara remarks that he's never going to let anyone forget about the Rachni Wars. Wrex adds that asari never stop reminding everyone how better-looking they are.
    • As Wrex states that the krogan would fight to protect Tuchanka, Liara states that what she always liked about him. Wrex asks if she's referring to his smoldering good looks. Chuckling, Liara admits that's one thing and adds that he's never given up and that determination's about to pay off.
    • If Wreav is the Urdnot leader and asked if the krogan are ready to fight Reapers he will reply that it's like asking if the asari are ready to mate. Liara sarcastically responds, "I see Wrex was the diplomat of the family". If Wrex was never recruited (or if the player started a fresh Mass Effect 3 game) her response will be "Or if krogan can be brutish thugs."
    • If Wreav is asked about the Reapers on Tuchanka he'll say something along the lines of krogan numbering the days of Reapers the minute krogan decide to join the fight. Liara notes that at least he doesn't lack for confidence.
  • If Kirrahe survived the attack on Virmire and is spoken to before proceeding to the elevator, he will acknowledge Liara.
    • If Kirrahe was replaced by Lieutenant Tolan and Shepard asks about the tight security, Liara will comment about security leaks.

  • Upon hearing about Eve's physical and emotional distress, Liara sympathizes "Goddess, what she has been through."

• During Grissom Academy: Emergency Evacuation:
  • Upon meeting Jack, if Lair of the Shadow Broker was completed, Garrus, EDI, or James isn't brought along, and Shepard chooses to take a conciliatory tone towards Jack despite her assaulting the Commander, then Liara remarks she's forgotten how angry Jack was, whereas Jack replies she barely remembered "Blue" at all. Liara also reveals that Jack's real first name is Jennifer, and says she can also find the last name if Jack asks politely. If Lair of the Shadow Broker was not completed but the rest of the previous conditions apply, Liara just mentions she's heard about Jack's anger.
  • If Jason Prangley took Jack's place, and if Shepard reminds the teen that he should be getting the other students ready asap he'll say that they need some rest and sustenance first. Liara will confirm that she too would be exhausted after such a battle as they have had.
    • Prangley mentions it's the first time he's killed. Because of the circumstances the kids were thrust in, if EDI is not around to speak her opinion Liara expresses that she hates the war even more.

• During Tuchanka: Turian Platoon:
  • On the shuttle, Liara says "My sources said something about Reapers on Tuchanka, nothing about turians."

• During Tuchanka: Bomb:

  • On the way back to the shuttle, Liara voices her distress at Tarquin's death, saying that his sacrifice struck close to home.

• During Attican Traverse: Krogan Team:
  • On the shuttle, Liara worriedly comments "I don't like this. The krogan would have come prepared to fight."

  • Upon meeting the Breeder, Liara urges Shepard not to let the creature live.

• During Kallini: Ardat-Yakshi Monastery:
  • On the shuttle, Liara gives the mission brief.
  • If Samara is not present,
    • When Falere pleads with Shepard to help Rila, Liara tells Shepard "She might be right, Shepard. But this monastery needs to be destroyed."
    • When Falere is hurt and bewildered by Rila's sudden hostility, Liara consoles her, saying "I am so sorry. The Reapers have started converting Rila."
  • If Samara kills herself, Liara tells Falere "It was not your fault. She made her choice."

• During Priority: Thessia:

• During Priority: Horizon, on inspecting a view of Sanctuary to the left of the initial doorway Liara calls the place beautiful, saying she can see why refugees came in by the thousands.

• During Mass Effect 3: Leviathan:
  • In Mahavid: Leviathan:
    • When Shepard is frustrated at the lack of help from the miners' reception desk, Liara says "Shepard, I don't think we can find anything more from them."

  • In Despoina: Leviathan:
    • If Liara is Shepard's love interest, when Shepard is preparing to descend into the ocean in the Triton ADS, Liara whispers "Shepard..." to which Shepard quietly says "I'll be fine."

• During Mass Effect 3: Citadel:
  • In Silver Coast Casino: Infiltration, when assigned to distract a guard:
    • Liara: "I saw a pickpocket working the crowd upstairs."
    • Guard: "Just a second, ma'am. I'll contact the surveillance desk. You can point him out to me."
    • Liara: "I bring greetings from the Consort. She instructed me to schedule a session with you, free of charge."
    • Guard: "That's very kind, miss. But we have to clear our, uh, 'gifts' with management."
    • Liara: "You look hungry. They have vat-grown swordfish in the restaurant. Shall I save you a bite?"
    • Guard: "I wouldn't turn that down. Hey! Who told you I like vat-fish?"
    • Liara: "Those cuff-links... Is that design inspired by late-period inusannon artwork? Its attention to detail is remarkable."
    • Guard: "I guess? They were a gift. Are they valuable?"
    • Liara (imitating a Southern U.S. accent): "Uh, is there somewhere I can go to make a private call? It's very important."
    • Guard: "Let me see what I can do."
    • Liara: "Sorry to bother you. I know you're busy. May I ask you something?"
    • Guard: "Of course, ma'am. What do you need?"

  • In Citadel Archives: Escape:
    • When Shepard and crew discover that a clone of Shepard is behind the attack, the clone sneers that Liara is a college cheerleader pretending to be a soldier, to which Liara retorts that the clone is nothing but "a pale imitation of the real thing."
    • While Shepard covers the squad while they climb a ladder, a shot from the mercs barely misses the last squadmate climbing it. If Liara is the last person, she declares "That's cheating! We're on a ladder!"
    • When all of Shepard's companions have finished unloading a lot of bullets into the mercs from high ground, Liara may deadpan: "I don't know. Are you sure you got them all?"
    • When Shepard's squad gets locked in the vault, Liara will say, "That went...well." When Shepard asks if they sound like their clone when they say, "I should go," Liara replies, "I think it was one of the first things you ever said to me." Shepard can then say that they're open for feedback, she retorts, "You could try 'I'll be seeing you.' That would spice things up."
  • In Citadel Docks: Retake the Normandy, when the squad is crawling through the crawlspace, Liara will state that she is not fond of tight spaces. Shepard will point out that she spent decades at dig sites. Liara will counter that she then got trapped in a Prothean bubble, which she does not consider recommendable.

• During Priority: Cerberus Headquarters:
  • Shepard can optionally go over several Cerberus video logs. One such log details how Cerberus brought Shepard back to life from being brain-dead. This causes Shepard to wonder if maybe he's/she's just a VI that thinks he's/she's Shepard. EDI is a required squadmate for this mission, but if Liara was picked as the optional squadmate and she's Shepard's love interest, Liara will respond, "I wish you'd told me, Shepard. I knew it was really you the first time I touched you again."
  • Upon discovering the remains of the Human-Reaper, Liara will lament the deaths of the colonists the Collectors used to create it. Shepard will respond that the Illusive Man probably never really cared about saving them. Liara answers that if one works in secret, it can become easy to believe that oneself has all the answers. Shepard assures her that she'll never be like the Illusive Man, to which Liara replies ambivalently.

• During Priority: Earth:
  • While at the missile battery, upon hearing from Anderson that more Reaper troops are heading their way, Liara exclaims, "Goddess, more are coming?"

    • If Liara hasn't built up much of a rapport with Shepard (e.g. new unimported ME3 game) she instead theorizes about why Prothean architecture became simpler at the end as opposed to their earlier days where their works tended to be functional yet decorative.

If Garrus is the other squadmate, Garrus will add his own joke that he could've sworn he heard the yahg muttering "T'Soni." Liara will reply tersely, "Not funny." If the other squadmate besides Liara isn't Garrus, Liara will reply "Not funny" directly after Shepard's joke.
  • After accessing the research log about the salarians' plan to uplift the yahg (the risk is deemed "minimal"), Liara says, "Obviously they've never had to fight a yahg face-to-face."

    • If Ashley is present, she and Liara get into an argument over the capabilities of a seasoned asari veteran, with Liara saying the centuries of experience of the asari makes them immune to fear and disorganization; and Ashley, using her greater knowledge of military matters, counter-arguing that when a mission goes bad, there's no knowing how a soldier might react.
    • If Garrus is in the party, he asks whether the commando was holding position or left behind, to which Liara replies she would have been standing her ground.
    • If EDI is present, she says "I found another dead commando. She was also deceased." Liara then says "Falere and her sister might be the only survivors."
