I don't care very much about the asari. I get they're an homage to "hot submissive alien eyecandy" of sci-fi culture... but it feels more like that's their entire basis as a race... where as the quarians, turians, krogan, and others have far more interesting backgrounds. Yeah... girls with blue skin is hot and all... but come on... that's it? And brain sex? Total cop out. Sex with Tali and Garrus is interesting because you have to accept that it's going to be ****ing WIERD. It's gonna be awkward. Working past that is important. Nulling that step by making them basically blue humans who you just have to touch seems cheap to me.

I get that, I agree.

But that's avoiding the topic.

Is it?

Nevermind then.

Maybe.

I guess it's just a product of never really trusting anyone, and I've never wanted kids, so, that kinda reflects in my beliefs.

Trust is the hardest thing to give to another.
To love someone is to be willing to take the chance to open up completely; to show all of the flaws and emotional baggage that we hide beneath fancy cloths, hair gel, make-up, and what have you.
I'm much the same why where I'm highly reluctant to open up to other people, and for good reason. It can be soul-crushing.

Personally, I believe that if you love someone and if they love you back, that's a beautiful thing and things like race or gender should not matter.

Too many close-minded people running around and telling everyone else how to live their lives, but it seems like each generation keeps getting a little better.

Maybe one day people will just be allowed to live without a bunch of political bullcrap.

I whole heartedly agree. I can count on one hand how many times I've met two people who actually loved on another. It's a very low number. I've never loved anyone outside of family, and I sure as hell do not trust my family.

So yeah... relationships you consent to... those are important to me. They're supposed to be. Most people just want something. Sex. Kids. The "Dream Life". I'd settle for not being alone. Contentment. Too many people are looking for more. Race, ethnicity, money. idealism. Parents didn't even want my sister and me dating african americans until we had moved out... should have seen them when they met my sister's boyfriend. People don't seem to actually care about whether or not two people simply love one another... there always has to be conditions... they're always a catch. Nobody is ever content to just be content...

contentment sounds pretty good to me.

Isn't natural that one race, in a galaxy full of species, would eventually come out as the "most bangable"?  When you take all of the races into consideration, and then add in what they each find desirable, you are inevitably going to end up with a race that is generally seen as good-looking to the universe at large.

I will give it to you that its... ?odd? that the "naturally sexy" race resembles humanity, but thats just human nature at work. 

Obviously they would look much like humans. Otherwise the sex-appeal would be low to the male players.

How did I know that's exactly what you'd post?

We have to remember that Mass Effect is about saving the galaxy, defending humanity, and stopping the Reapers.  Romantic sub-plots were kind shoehorned themselves into the plot in ME1, and ME2 only got marginally better (although your range of choices got MUCH better).  What we need, for this discussion to end, is an actual backorder of Fornax.  For the articles, of course.

But I am not talking about the plot, I am talking about the background, the setting. This is the sort of things that builds a universe, I want to get some insight.

And did you know that the magazine was named after a star system? "Fornax" meaning "furnace."

Yeah, well I'm sure it features quite a few "hot-boxes"....

Do you really ask these questions in every world-building project you come about?  Do you ask how the Orcs in The Lord of the Rings get it on, or how Wookies in Star Wars do the horizontal monster mash?

The romantic subplots in the ME series allowed most of this information to come to the forefront.  Without them, without Tali, I don't believe we would be having this conversation (besides the obvious, that we would have never found each other across the internet).

I guess what I'm trying to say is that Xeno-sexual practices are tertiary, at best, in the grander scheme of worldbuilding.  Now, with that said, I must state that I would also like to learn more.  Its interesting, and lets face it.... -HHNNGG-

Right, thats what I meant by the "odd".  It would be really weird if Quarians, Turians, Asari, etc found female krogan especially hot, despite their... -factor.

No kidding. I've only seen one couple (outside of my own parents) who I KNOW are going to make it. Every other relationship I've seen my friends in when they said that they 'love' so-and-so, I just roll my eyes and wonder how long that's gonna last.

Don't get me wrong, sex is nice, but it's not an all-encompassing thing for me. I've turned down relationships because I knew I didn't love the girl and I wasn't loved back. The one time I did say 'what the hell' and went into a relationship I knew was going to be emotionless, it ended very badly.

Not interested in kids, but I'm not 100% against them, either. I'm neither emotionally or financially ready for them now, though. I once worked at a photo studio, as I said before, everyone there but me had kids. When I was asked if I had any, I said no and wouldn't want any until at least 30 or so. They looked at me like I was crazy for waiting that long.

"Nobody is ever content to just be content."
I like that. It's sadly very true.

Well Mass Effect is one of the few universes I am very fascinated in, thus the purpose of my curiosity. Another universe I rather enjoy is Star Wars, but this is not the place for that, and every single female alien has bewbs- refuting quite a lot of credibility on part of the writers.

I'm here for discussions, damn it!
