I agree with a lot of this. I felt like BioWare *really* pushed Liara on players, especially in Mass Effect 3. She's not a terrible character on her own, but the way they did it kinda made me resent her regardless, and I can never ever romance her as a result because her creepy obsession squicks me out. No matter how much I go renegade with her, it always seems like she has this unrequited love for my Shepard. :(

Yeah. I couldn't stand her whole "Has Shepard sempai noticed me yet?" routine in ME1, but I quite liked her in Lair of the Shadow Broker. Some of her ME3 scenes are really touching.

ayrt- yeah, as much as I say I resented her, LotSB is still my favourite DLC and I did like her there. Like OP though, the 'I couldn't let you go' part didn't sit all that well with me. In ME3, she did, but at times (like on the Citadel) I couldn't help but feel like she was hoping for something more from my Shepard. The time capsule was a nice idea, but again it felt like BioWare was forcing a BFF-type friendship with her on me.

So my first play through was femShep. Liara's all being Liara and that's okay. FemShep had googly-eyes for Garrus and Kaidan.

Then I was like you know, Kaidan needs more lovings from my Sheps, so I played through with maleShep all googly-eyed for Kaidan. Liara's all being Liara and that's fine, and then the Earth mission and I'm talking to everyone and then she's all "hey do me a favor" and I'm like wha-HEYWHATAREYOUDOINGoh okay it's a universe cool WAIT WHY ARE YOU HUGGING MY ARM--

I swear to God I do not remember her hugging femShep's arm in that sequence. Guuuh.

....Huh. I don't remember that either, but my femshep wasn't really nice to her. Maybe your dudeshep was nicer to her/accidentally led her on more than femshep did?

It's funny, I took every renegade option possible with Liara in ME1, but she still asked if Shepard had feelings for her. Didnt ever get that from Kaidan or Ashley.

She does hug femShep's arm in the non-romance version. http://youtu.be/UcpiNI4s8FQ

Ehhh,, Asari culture is a very touchy-feely culture. Considering they do the meld practice with close friends and most of their greetings involving touching in some way.

She hugs FemShep through the experience. Not defending it being a little touchy feely because, by human standards, it is. But there's enough hints that Asari culture does view touch differently.
