1) Obviously Liara can now teleport. It is her secret magical girl power. The radio guy seems to indicate that everyone but you died in that charge, so Liara not only teleported (in your game and mine) but apparently rose from the dead. My theory is that Liara is secretly Sailor Thessia, and used her magical crystal to return from the dead and save Garrus (or whomever went to the final push) as well.Storm Dragon said:I really only had two problems:
1) Where is the Normandy going, why is it going there, and how are Liara and Garrus on it when they were down on Earth with me?
2) Was the destruction of the relay network necessary, BioWare?
....
Actually, my assumption is this was poorly written code. I think the creators assumed that the player would keep their "waifu" safely on the ship, not take them on the final push. IE, the characters in your final push died, but your romantic interest and best buddy are still on the ship. ... except that lots of people (like me) took my romantic interest with me, so that we would either win together or die together. Also because Liara rocks vs Husks/Cannibals, and was helpful vs Banshees as well. So not really bad writing so much as bad implementation.
2) I have no idea. Although, it only really matters if you chose Destroy.
If you chose Control, then you can have your Reaper army rebuild the relays.
If you chose Synthesis... well, Geth and EDI don't age or require food. The Reapers (which are synthetic creatures made from organic matter) don't eat and are immortal. It is at least vaguely reasonable that the results of Synthesis would be similar. So... people can just use FTL drive. Sure, it takes years to get from cluster to cluster, but if everyone is immortal, it doesn't really matter how long it takes. Taki could take three hundred years to fly back to her homeworld, and still spend centuries upon centuries living there.
If you chose Destroy, then... yeah, everyone's pretty fucked. I think that's why that's the Renegade option.
