The poor guy, so many seem to not like him. So what I want to know is who out there does like him and what you like about him.. Haters can stay away please! Just Liam positive here. One thread in wh...
I think what a lot fail to realize is the fact that the Pathfinder team arent actually under the Pathfinders orders per say. Its not an alliance military team its a civilian one. They are expected to assist the Pathfinder when asked but outside of that, they have their own asigned tasks to perform without having to run and ask permission to do it. They are supposed to just do it and then request back-up from the other team members when its needed.
Its a big difference to an alliance military ship and crew like the Normandy was. Even a big difference to the SR2 when all crew where specifically told to follow Shepards orders.
Each member of the Pathfinding team had a set job already assigned to them to just do when not required by the Pathfinder his/herself and there is the difference. Sara didn't have to contact her Dad to ask permission to scout once they landed on the planet she was just expected to do her job.
Believe it or not, Liam was just doing his job, forging relationships with species and between colonies and used his own judgment on how best to achieve that. He also wasn't wrong, his instincts about those people were correct. The pirates timing was just bad luck, one didn't have anything to do with the other he just thought it was possible, so went to his team for backup feeling it was needed at that point in time. In doing so he further cemented those alliances as well.

I didn't know that this was Liam's job. I got the impression he was supposed to handle security, while Cora was XO, Vetra was supplies, etc. Did it say anywhere that Liam was the diplomat?
I do like Liam. He's a friendly, gung-ho guy. I even appreciate his initiative and found his loyalty mission to be one of the most entertaining bits of the game.
That being said, I don't feel like he fits with the Nexus leadership's Initiative. In many ways I think that Liam would be a better fit doing his thing at Prodromos or Kedara, possibly Elaaden. Certainly I wouldn't be too upset if things went that way, and I suspect that he and most of the crew would feel the same way. If Jaal gets upset I'm sure Peebee would be more than happy to spend some time with him and cheer him up.
