Of course, that\'s not the case. Because if Liara and Shepard are not together, they aren\'t together.

Of course, that\\\'s not the case. Because if Liara and Shepard are not together, they aren\\\'t together. Whatever subtext is in the series, the final word of the narrative is that Shepard is together with whoever he or she is together with.

Even if the game did \'assume\' there was a relationship, (which it doesn\'t), it\'s not the trope. The narrative \'assumes\' Shepard and Anderson have a father-son or father-daughter relationship. The narrative \'assumes\' that Shepard is on good terms with pretty much every squadmate. And those things happen regardless of how nasty the player is to those characters.
