Liara To Join Shepard In Next Mass Effect 2 DLC

Nice to see that she's still doing OK.

The wait for more Mass Effect 2 DLC won't be long. Earlier this afternoon, the studio announced a new piece of content--a possible digital tie-in to the Dark Horse comic book series Mass Effect: Redemption--that's set for release "soon."

Lair of the Shadow Broker, as the DLC's title suggests, will have you rolling deep in the mysterious world of the Shadow Broker, attempting to "even the score" with the galactic influencer. Perhaps of more import for the franchise's fans, though, is that Shepard will be joined by blue-skinned Liara T'Soni in the DLC. If you remember, she was a possible love interest in the original game and played a small role in Mass Effect 2 as well. 
 

No Caption Provided

== TEASER ==The released details suggest that this will follow the Redemption series' plot, which highlighted Liara's search for Commander Shepard's corporeal form after he bit the big one in the game's introduction. And just so you know, Liara isn't all "pleases" and "thank yous" in the comics--she's acting like she's got a serious score to settle.

No pricing details have been announced and no release date was pegged. The official site does mention though that Lair of the Shadow Broker is "coming soon." 

Here are two more images for you to gawk at while you wait. I suggest you look real nice and slow-like.

I totally banged that blue chick, and the one in the helmet too.  That's canon!

" Hmm... could this possibly rule out the rumours and theories that Martin Sheen is the Shadow Broker? "
It rules out theories that the Illusive Man is. Martin Sheen, however, still needs to be confirmed or denied.
 
Oh, and fuck yeah am I gonna hang out with Liara again.

I thought they had already finished with the Overlord DLC so I started a new game yesterday, and now this. However in a slight piece of irony I just finished Liara's missions before I went to work today.

She's not the only one that is definitely alive, there is one more.  Who that one is varies, obviously, depending on what choice you made in ME1.

hopefully addable as a party member, and not just an npc giving out missions.

I don't think 'definitely' means what you think it means.

Definitely means definitely.  There are two characters who are alive for sure.   One of 'em can vary as to who it is exactly, so you can say that voids the definition of "definitely," but it doesn't change the fact that there are, at least, two characters alive.

This is by far the stupidest conversation I have been involved in on Giant Bomb in some time.
 
I'll tell you what, we'll list all of the ME party members and take it in turns to point out those who meet the criterion of being "definitely still alive at this point".  I'm going first and I'm choosing Liara.  Your turn.

Unless I have really missed something in the games, then either Ashley or Kaiden is still alive.  As I said, depending on what choice you made in ME1.

Not bad.  I wonder if MS will have a sale for the older ME2 DLC anytime soon.  That's what I'm waiting for before I take the plunge.

@darkjester74:    Good god......I know what definitely means.   Are we really sitting here arguing semantics?   No matter what "definitely" means doesn't change the fact that there are TWO people in ME that are still alive, which is all I've been trying to say.      BTW, The Princess Bride is awesome. :)

Awesome. Was surprised by how much I liked Liara in Mass Effect 2. I should probably play through the original again and get a romance subplot on with her.

Now that would be interesting. I'd like to see the events leading up to that choice.

The real question everyone should be asking: is Jeff Bridges going to be in this DLC?

Loving that last screenshot. Looks like the old team is getting back together! Half of it, anyway.
