Do you not pay attention to what people are saying to you?

Lmao, yeah, it doesn't always give you the exact location of things. When it says look for her, it means literally check planets in the Artemis Tao Cluster until you find her. I found the exploration fun, but no shame in using a guide either.

Not in that order, obviously. The fucking is a much higher priority. In fact I don't think it's even necessary to save the galaxy.

That bit actually is a bit annoying because they dont tell you the specific planet Liara is on iirc.

Or at the very least they name the nebula she's in.

When you level up in spectre you can get the unity ability to revive them.

I am cursed to forever pick Liara's system last out of the list, seemingly no matter which order I pick them in.

Or maybe it's Feros I'm thinking of. Whichever one is in the cluster with the ancient Greek named stars

They tell you that she's in the Artemis Tau cluster and Anderson tells you to look for a planet with Prothean ruins. Pretty sure the planet she's on mentions Prothean ruins in the description when you look at it from space.

And even if you don't catch that hint there are only four systems in Artemis Tau, and only one planet/ship/other object can be landed on in each system. That holds true throughout the game, except for one system IIRC that doesn't have anything to land on.

Add Liara to your party. Have her use her biotic abilities.

push, singularity, lift, its all fucking broken.

in general use your abilities. Its an RPG. You wouldnt play Final Fantasy 7 and ignore the materia, right? >_>

also when you get a mission to a planet called virmire, save it for last. Just trust me on this.

Left and right on the d pad to move to position. Tell them to use abilities in the same wheel that you use yours.

Also, in the options, set your party members to use their abilities on their own.

While not TOO smart about it, having them blast out abilities to deal with what you aren't generally works.

Also gear actually means a LOT in Mass Effect. Wander around to other areas and you will get side quests and finding random gear and leveling fast will make you really strong.

To command your squad use Q and E to move or order attack target.
Hold Shift to bring up the tactical menu and select an ability. They will use that ability where your reticle is. This allows you to target an enemy or where an enemy will be.
