Nevertheless, the supporting cast in both games are all interesting enough to maintain a four-part miniseries, and though asari fan favourite Liara T’Soni is a fan favourite, she’s also a complicated character to write: as Liara may/may not (deleted where applicable) have had a relationship with Shepard, it is only ever ambiguously hinted upon.īut Mac Walters and John Jackson Miller have formed a decent enough story here, with Liara being recruited by Cerberus’s head honcho the Illusive Man to retrieve Shepard’s corpse.

Consequently, the omission of Commander Shepard floats like a black hole at the centre of Mass Effect: Redemption – as well as the second Mass Effect novel, Ascension – and it’s a shame that, as with the better Star Wars comic spin-offs, Dark Horse have not opted for an unrelated character in another part of this potentially multifaceted world.
