Haters can stay away please! Just Liam positive here. One thread in which he doesn't end up bashed in.. you can give us that.
The first thing I thought was sweet, was Liam sleeping on the floor in SAM node right at the begining when he barely even knew Ryder. A sign of someone who cares about others no matter what.
I like him, he's just useless.
People hate the almost childish way that he is written, which I like. The "I shot him in the face" etc.. I think that's hilarious and trading insults with jaal. And his backstory.
But as an Aid in Combat.. he just dies all the time.
I do get people not liking some of the writing, although to be honest there is usually at least one or two lines from every character (original trilogy and MEA) that just makes me.. cringe. Thats also true of conversations with people IRL too though, we don't have writers who can go back and change our words for us because we said something dumb, we gotta own it! 😃😃 Maybe its that kind of realism that I like, not everyone enjoys that in stories of any kind. The same as not everyone enjoying comedies or dramas or whatever 🙂. Everyone I know has a flaw that.. bugs me.. that I look past in favor of friendship / relstionships or whatever. Some perfer to escape those flaws in stories though where as I prefer them to exist. Like.. I like Jaal he is sweet but he almost seems too perfect, so not really to my taste for an IG romance.

Side topic this has nothing to do with Liam. just a general comment on what you mentioned.
Whilst I do agree that not every one likes a comedy or a drama. It's still the quality of the show that counts. Eg I personally prefer action flicks, braveheart, lord of the rings type movies. I dont really like the really serious movies, but when I watched shawshank redemption and schindler list, they were extremely well made movies and I loved them. They may not rate as high as a lord of the rings movie on my scale of movies that I like, but I do respect the art and quality of the movie. Linking this back to ME/MEA, it's not a matter of whether or not the character's more for me or not, if its a personification of a character that's my polar opposite and I dislike everything about this character and what this character stands for, but the quality of scripts are well written and voice acting is great(eg illusive man) then it will be a great character! Consistency is also another item, whilst no script is perfect and you can also find one of 2 things about the original trilogy that may make you cringe, it is not consistently bad. Let's just say if I have a cringe counter, I have cringed a lot more recently than I did when I played the trilogy.
liam is such an awesome character the only thing that could have made him even better if ...[CM Edit: This is a Liam-Hate Free Zone! Bash him elsewhere.🙂]

Good voice acting, inflections, character attitude, personality, body language and gestures are key features to successfully project story onto the listener. If those are weak, then they didn't hooked the public into the character's story, no matter how good the story is. A good actor can describe even the simplest photograph with such expression that people could be easily captivated by it. (and btw, lotr is one of my favs as well)
