Liara's a worse character overall but I think Leliana's more annoying in that her character in the later games doesn't change at all based on anything you do in DAO. She's always been one of the prime examples of Bioware slapping players in the face regarding C&C.Well, you're right. Got the releases' timelines a bit messed up. But Leliana is a much better character than Liara ever was. Her becoming a mistress of the underworld felt so forced, a true asspull. Leliana being a bard always felt justified and not entirely out of character. Even with the Imoen image. I had to google Aria, barely remember her and tbh I didn't had that DLC. The asari as a whole are fucking boring tbh, and only good as porn fodder.
Seems like I have to replay ME. It's almost been a decade now, I think the last time I went through those games was like 2015 or so.
Convinced her to give up her old life for good in favor of the Chantry? Too bad, she's a crazy bard again and now she's an atheist.
Romanced her? Too bad, throwaway line of dialogue, no other effects.
Killed her? Too bad, Origins Leliana was just a dream the whole time.
With Liara you never had any input on her character, with Leliana they undid almost anything the players could've done in the stupidest ways to make her DA's Liara. Maybe it's just the consequence of DA originally being meant as one game without sequels. Nothing between O and I isn't retconned.
