Liara is so different from ME1
In ME1 she was a cute, shy, isolated girl. She has a crush on you right away and then gets all embarrassed about saying the wrong thing and tries to hard.

In ME2 all of a sudden shes this ruthless killer driven on this obscure quest for revenge thats not really well explained. It feels like they dropped the ball on this character in ME2, even more so if you had a romance with her.

I never got the shadow broker DLC, is that worth it? Not sure if I want to get it. But that might fill in some blanks I am missing I have no clue.

Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?

I think there is a comic which explains what happened to Liara after your disappearance.

not to mention she witnessed the death of her benezia, shepard, and her friend she was working with. after 2 years and screwing with the wrong people, im sure it would be normal for her to become ruthless and determined.

Shadow Broker DLC is excellent for a variety of reasons. Shedding light on character backstory is just one of them.

Liara goes even more gung-ho in ME3 though.

Yes I noticed the same and felt bad for her in ME2, tho it was somewhat explained why she went that way after ME1, in the shadow broker dlc. (Very short tho)

ME3: She's slightly less cold blood killer in ME3 tho, or looks like it in the start at least. (Is happy to save people and so on)

There's a comic about what she did between ME1 and ME2. Her 'ruthlessness' in ME2 is a front, at least partially. Her goal is to help her friend held by the Shadow Broker. You can decide for yourself if Liara is more on the ruthless side (that she's looking for any excuse to kill the SB) or the benevolent side (that she truly does want to help her friend). This friend, Firon, was her ally in her quest to save Shepard's body.

You do get more insight on her, and more 'ME2 closure' on her, if you do the Shadow Broker DLC. Otherwise, she still goes on the story-plot off-screen between ME2 and ME3, but just brings a lot of mercs, many of which die (and Firon dies).

Basically, yes, you're kinda missing something. Its a very optional something, but its certainly a layer to the Mass Effect trilogy that involves Liara, the Shadow Broker, and some other stuff.
