I can never understand what the hell Liam is saying.

You almost have to anyway because of audio glitches when you are not facing the person talking to you directly.

Way to go Bioware, I disabled subtitles back when I got my first sound card in Windows 3 days and haven't used them in any game until ... MEA. Ok maybe I get it now Bioware is going all retro on us

Lmfao. Thanks mate. That's mint!

His good work is a long, long time ago.

You know? There's a piece of game art that shows Liam embracing fem-Ryder, and it's beautiful. If only they had made Liam a man instead of a dick brain, that art could have been a gaming moment thousands would have pursued.

His voice actor is from London.

not trying to be rude, the problem has to be on your side.
I'm not even a native and I understand him perfectly.

From the Midwest US here, and I've understood everyone perfectly well in this game so far, and I'm pretty sure i'm near the end (still my first playthrough), no subtitles. But I know there are loads of regional accents in the UK, all equally wonderful to my ears The only people I haven't been able to understand, obviously, are the kett and angaran languages before SAM or whatever translates them through the magical 'translator' (plot) device. Other times, I haven't heard all of some conversations in the rover, because of a bug that happens when you fast travel.. it's like they talk during the loading screen, so it cuts off part of it. And there are times when one character is too far away, and the sound gets drowned out by other noise..that's annoying, too.
I'll admit, Liam's not my favorite character in the Mass Effect series, but I don't hate him. I like his banter with Jaal, and when Drack shuts him down and treats him like a child, lol

I fucking despise subtitles. They ruin the tiny rest of the immersion.

It took me three playthroughs to understand what his quest was actually about.

It reminds me of european french who have subtitles to watch movie from quebec.

I don't even try to make much sense out of Liam's incoherent gibberish. His actions speak louder than his incoherent gibberish. Liam is a traitor, as simple as that and endangers the whole MEA mission 5 seconds after encountering a new alien species. It's entrainment that short time feelgood via goody two shoes is more important than any reasoning at all.

The protagonist in this game does much the same under the guise of honesty. Being responsible and being held responsible does not mean shouting it all over the rooftops from the top of your lungs.

Luke Kristjansson is indeed a magician craftsman whether that is good or bad is in the eye of the beholder. From my point of view, there are too many shenanigans inserted in MEA, to the point of great irritation.
