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).
No. It's simply a fact. Adept -and Liara- has no access to Tech abilities. It's odd that the Dev's chose to give Liara Electronics in ME1 in the first place. But that's by the by. However, they balanced it by not allowing her to use Overload.
@BlackSassyWolf And where do you get that from?
A developer response, or just a guess on your part?
Because, I mean... Liara still can use Overload if you put her on "auto skill mode" 🤔
@BlackSassyWolf what a dumb response. You can replicate this issue quickly. Put points into all of her talents except stasis. You’ll see overload in her power wheel. Now put a point in stasis. Overload is gone, even though there’s still a free slot. It’s a frickin bug.
I get it from actually having played the games for years. Only Sentinel has access to TECH and BIOTIC's. Liara is Pure Biotic. The fact she was given Electronics in ME1 seems more like an oversight on the Dev's part.
So because you disagree, I'm a troll? Very childish!
That's beyond absurd reasoning, frankly it describes how it's broken.
Either A: Liara has basic level electrical ability OR they need to completely REMOVE the skill option from the list. If it wasn't broken, it wouldn't have been listed or a place in which skill points could be dumped into.
I for example, decided to leave liara until one of the last things i did, and when i got her, i was planning on taking her and wrex to peak 15... only to discover many many hours later after getting her and cranking her electrical skill to max, and playing through multiple stages before getting to peak 15, that electrical funamentally was broken as a combat skill AND as deciphering/hacking among other things.
I could backtrack many many hours and revert, but frankly this seems like a major oversight on bioware's part since you'd have thought someone had played through it and at least tried to use overload or crack/hack something.
it's not a disagreement like it was an opinion... it's a fundamental fact. Childish is making an absurd excuse.
Is this aimed at me?
Please stop flooding my bug report with useless bickering.
It is a bug, a bug that can be easily reproduced, as mentioned above. Personal opinions do not change this fact, and if a developer tried to justify a clear technical issue that way, they'd instantly lose all my respect.
If BW wanted a lore-specific explanation, they would remove Liara's omni-tool, and replace her Electronics skill with a biotic ability. Until then, this is purely a technical matter.
