Hi,What the title says: first game in LE, playing on XSX. In the squad menu, I have Liara's Electronics skill upgraded to its maximum (screenshot here) - but even just the first point should grant her the Overload ability.During gameplay however, the ability wheel does not contain it, Liara has six biotic abilities and an empty slot (screenshot here).

@BlackSassyWolfJesus christ man, I'm getting irritated now.Can you comprehend that this is a bug? A bug. A technical oversight. An issue. Not intentional. Not based on lore.The bloody tech ability works if you don't invest points in Stasis.

I have the same issue on PC (Steam). And leveling up the ability doesn't help at all

I'm on PS4 and have the same problem.This bug only happens if you have unlocked all of Liara's active abilities.Apparently it exists since the vanilla version, and wasn't corrected by the remaster ☹️ For now, all you can do to "mitigate" this bug is to go the Options menu, then in Gameplay you have to set the "Commando talents" on "All" for your squad mates.Then Liara will be able to launch Overload time to time automatically.I hope the Remaster Team will correct this bug very soon !

@felker_s Same happened to me on Liara & my adept Shepherd when I put points into all skills. Definitely would have skipped stasis if I had known. Now I lost a maxed out overload for stasis with 1 point in it

On PC this is also a problem because even though electrical is maxed out, you are unable to do any other tasks that requires that skill such as opening and decryption things. The function is overall broken entirely not just as a skill in combat.

@Megahell Yes, well... On insanity, the "lesser evil" is playing without her Overload. Can't have my squad randomly popping stuff...

It was still a bummer, with an Infiltrator and Garrus, Liara was a perfect third member - well almost perfect, since an additional Overload can make a huge difference.

Anyway, it wasn't too bad, since combat in ME1 LE became a cakewalk. Aside from some annoying enemies (undying krogan, bullet sponge Thorian creepers), there wasn't much trouble - and those weren't challenging, either, only incredibly time-consuming.

Thanks for the addition. I didn't know that, since my infiltrator had those skills maxed out anyway.

I'm so glad I found this bug report right before putting a point in stasis as final ability for Liara. I'm on PC and I was able to replicate this issue. Another fail EA/Bioware!

Still not fixed (PC here) after today’s patch. ::facepalm emoji::

It isn't fixed because it isn't broken. Liara is a Pure Biotic, as is Adept Shepard. ONLY Sentinel (Kaidan) has access to Biotic and Tech abilities. The Dev's made it this way on purpose!

Is this sarcasm?
