I do wonder about this younger crowd thing though. Over the years you hear things like the average age of gamers going up while game makers seem to be looking at the younger generations more. Maybe they're having a hard time striking a balance there. I can't expect a game maker to just keep upping the age either but I do suppose that with such serious topics as ME games treat, a little bit of seriousness makes sense.
Ryder for me is on the border and it's still alright, but the general tone is light and it makes it feel like there isn't really anything really bad going on. The Reapers felt like a threat, the Kett...well even the name doesn't sound ominous. Let's market them with some Heinz Tomato Kettsup or something.
I do see Liam as an attempt to appeal to the younger millenials though. Maybe it works for them. I dunno. I just hope that ME:A and what comes after is allowed to grow up just a little and that on a shorter notice we are allowed to make good looking characters again.
I was born in 1977 ... and I adore Liam ! I think he appeals to those who really like to dig under the surface of a character instead of taking them at face value. Much like Kaidan, Blackwall, Fenris, Zevran etc..
i do find liam a little annoying when he's digging into the other team members, without cause... though he reminds me of an irish friend of mine, even the "because i shot him in the face" line reminds me of him. and he was late 20ish, like 26 or so. but that was a few years ago... ok, nearly 20 i guess.

People fail to see that the only one he digs first is Peebee. The others go at him before he even says anything. Vetra goes at him anout his shields, which is how the thing with her sister starts. Cora is constantly riding him about combat stuff. He and Jaal get along fine. He goes at Peebee because he doesn't trust she'll stick around. I havent played drack enough yet to see how he gets along with Liam.
P.S. if anyone has a reason to be salty at the others its Liam because they don't let up.
IMHO, they weren't cutting into liam at first... they were primarily just pointing out he was taking too many risks in combat, or at least to my best recollection.

Agreed and my point remains. He doesn't act like the crisis specialist he claims to be.
