Ilium who is the observer

When I come back to Illium I talk to her, do her second assignment and recruit the other person. Choosng that lower left option will start the DLC. Obviously, you wouldn't know any of this since it all came bundled for the PS3 so Bioware really shot you in the foot there.

Ideally, you would do the first two assignments and then Cerberus would give you the data. I typically don't install plot DLC until I'm ready to play it. Otherwise, they pop up after Horizon before they make sense storywise.

LotSB isn't to bad as you can simply ignore it, but Arrival is alittle annoying in that the mission brief is forced on you if you ever go to your private terminal. The Twilight God Status: Offline.

Unfortunately you can because that's what has happened to me; Bioware should have added a conversation branch to allow passing of the Shadow Broker information but no further progress without the standard missions being completed.

Next up, Liara steps things up a notch with her second and more interesting mission, marked in your journal as Illium: Liara: The Observer.

This time, she wants Shepard to hack five diffferent terminals. By hacking them, you'll uncover snippets of information that are clues as to the identity of The Observer, an agent of the Shadow Broker.

You must use the messages in the terminals you can hack to figure out who the Observer is. The more terminals you hack, the better your chance of correctly answering - but you can have a guess and tell Liara at any point - but there'll be consequences. Below, we'll get into full spoilers about the identity of the Observer , for those who need a hand puzzling it out. So - the time has come to work out who ME2's Observer is on Illium.

First of all, there's five data entries you must hack and find on Illium as part of this quest, and each unearths a string of text that is a clue. Four of the clues are found For posterity, here are all five:.

If you read all of these statements clearly, you'll notice that various characters are ruled out. For instance, The Observer is recommending the Turian be killed, and that the Salarian be framed.

So those two can be ruled out. It's also clear that the 'Trader' is the Vorcha - and the Trader can also be ruled out. Salarian is becoming more trouble than he is worth. Observer recommends a kill, but she may have a grudge.

After hacking the fifth terminal, Shepard can call Liara, and a new dialogue option becomes available: "None of the suspects fit". Selecting this option leads to Shepard informing Liara that the Observer is female, whereas all of the possible suspects are male. Liara then deduces that her assistant, Nyxeris, has been feeding her misinformation, and is a double agent working for the Shadow Broker.

If Shepard wrongly identifies one of the five as the Observer, Shepard earns 2 Paragon points. Liara will tell Shepard that the other agents have gone to ground and she will continue her search. If Shepard correctly deduces that the Observer is not one of the five, Shepard earns 5 Paragon points.

In either situation, Shepard can tell Liara, "Don't give in to temptation" for 2 Paragon points or "Good luck, Liara" for 2 Renegade points. Choosing the "Liara's needs" investigate option inexplicably ends the conversation and doesn't let you say "Good luck, Liara" or "Don't give into temptation. Investigating her anger about the Shadow Broker leads to Liara mentioning that the Broker wanted to sell Shepard's body to the Collectors. To fully explore the conversation, the player should choose "Anger at Shadow Broker" before investigating "Liara's needs.
