I'm not entirely sure if it's confirmed, but it surely has been speculated that Liara will be a Justicar in the third installment of Mass Effect.

Forgive me, I took this from the Wiki, you can beat me with an encyclopaedia after:

A justicar is an asari who has forsworn having children and family, and given up all worldly possessions aside from weapons and armor. After swearing themselves to the Code of the justicars, they wander asari space righting wrongs, as defined by their unwavering code of justice. Samara compares the code and duties of the justicar to that of the knights-errant in Medieval Christendom, or the Japanese samurai.

I can't find anything that backs this up on the codex entires online, however...
As a Liara-fangirl I have a question.

If Liara is indeed a justicar in ME3, does this mean she can no longer sneak off to Shep's quarters?

I kind of find that hard to believe since in Mass Effect 2, Liara becomes the new Shadow Broker. If you decided to do the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC.

Mm, I forgot about that... Given the amount of discussion on this subject on BWS, I don't think too many other people have taken this into account. :lol:
Good work!

I really really doubt that Liara is a Justicar in ME3...it doesn't make any sense...

She's just become the new Shadow Broker...she's completely aware that the Reapers are approaching...she needs to do whatever she can to help stop them; it doesn't make any sense that she would swear an oath that might in some way limit what she is 'allowed' to do...

People must think she's a Justicar because of the alternate outfit with the head-flaps or whatever...that doesn't make her a Justicar...

...Conrad Verner wore N7 armor; doesn't make him an N7 soldier :P

She'd have to split up with Shepard. Though if Shep didn't have a relationship with her it would be a cool twist. Then again if you are a renegade Shep she might hve to kill you.

I doubt she's a Justicar. Her normal outfit lacks the head flaps

And as Maj put it, just cos Conrad wears N7, doesnt make him N7 :P

Mm that is indeed true, but there is also a vast difference between one Conrad Verner and our Liara. She has integrity. If she wore the justicar outfit, I'd fully believe she was a justicar. If she wore a moustache, I'd fully believe she was a gentleman.


What on earth are head flaps even for?  They're confusing and they look like replacements for her eyebrows.

Liara was cool to have as a temporary squadmate.

I don't think Liara would be a Justicar. If she were a Justicar- that would mean that she could no longer be the shadow broker, she couldn't have a romantic relationship with shepard(Bioware would hopefully not negate a romance this way), I believe the Samara said justicars had to be older asari like the matriarchs and Liara is still young at a hundred something, I think I had another point but I don't remember. Also, I believe Bioware said ME3 will have some full-time and some temporary squad members, all I can say is I hope Liara is a full-time one, but she probably will be.

From what I have read up on the game, I heard that Liara is supposed to be a permanent squadmate in Mass Effect 3.

There is actually no word about a lot of squadmates from Mass Effect 2, Miranda included.

They have said that all the squad members would return but not necessarily as full squad members, they may just be available for a single mission or just show up in a mission and not even be controllable. If the report in the shadow broker station is correct, saying that you can recruit Miranda after you assassinate the Illusive Man, then I'd be up for that to get Miranda back in my squad.

I could actually see that, where Miranda could be only for the mission with locating the Illusive Man, since she probably knows of his location. They said that everyone should return, if they managed to survive the suicide mission from Mass Effect 2.

Me too actually. Oh I hope she takes over from Kelly, "feeding the fish". Not gonna lie.

But yes, Liara is supposed to be a permanent fixture to the squad. Along with Kaidan/Ashley and this new fella, Vega. Whether permanent means, you know, all the time, or just when these temporary squaddies aren't in action remains to be seen.
