There \'\'\'might\'\'\' be an example of the trope in Liara having a relationship confrontation with Shepard after being brought on the ship. But that\'s a big might, and depends much on the dialogue of the scene. Does Liara say anything that explicitly assumes a relationship or does she merely tell Shepard she\'s interested? Even if it is an example, it needs to be very clear that it\'s a result of the scripting of the game. That since relationship confrontations are only scripted to occur after the second and third major missions, recruiting Liara later necessitates the confrontation to happen immediately so the player doesn\'t miss out on the opportunity to romance her entirely.

Having played ME 1 and not romanced Liara, I can say for certain that the idea of the game assuming Liara and Shepard are in a relationship by default is flatly wrong. So the relationship confrontation is the only evidence I see here, if it is worthy evidence at all.

The idea that the player has to \'go out of their way\' to not have a relationship with Liara is just absurd. You\'re not going to convince anyone of anything with nonsense like that. And even if it was true, no, it isn\'t the trope at all.
