I think the whole concept of Shepherd fostering a child isn't a particularly good idea for ME3... but for those with a female shepherd it would be interesting running around controlling a pregnant femshep. I wonder if they'd incorporate morning sickness interrupts during conversations?

[Dudalizer]

I believe that the Miranda and Jack infertility question was up to interpretation, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility for either of them to concieve.  Ashley, Liara, and possibly Samara are also candidates for Shepard to knock up.  I personally would like to see something like that to happen in MA3 or maybe in an epilogue as it would add depth to Shepards story and give some resolution to any romantic subplots you may have going on.

James Bond never had kids, why would Shepard?

Because Shepard is man(/woman) enough to hold a baby in one arm, a revenant with the other and still look badass.

"My mother is the Shadow Broker, and my father is a godslayer." Poor Liara and Shep's children are not going to have a normal childhood.



Although, if there is a Mass Effect MMO, and I can't play my Shepard, I had better at least be able to play my Shepard's kid.

Miranda = Perfect = Father Wanted to Breed her.. why he made another Miranda cause the first one ran off.. as for a Child from Miranda.. very much possible, would make for an interesting subject in game when she's pregnant in ME 3..

Isn't Miranda infertile?

I'm pretty sure that the Lazarus project had some kind of "free vasectomy" included in the package.

My Shepard used a rubber just in case. No way is he getting hit up for child support.

This is assuming Zombie Cyborg Jesus Shepard can have children.

Ashley: Possible?
Kaidan: Possible?
Liara: Possible. The child would be an Asari and is essentially just a Liara clone with Shepard raising her.
Tali: Not possible.
Garrus: Not possible.
Thane: Not possible.
Miranda: Not possible.
Jack: Possible? She doesn't seem the motherly type, though.
Jacob: Possible? Who romanced Jacob, though?

My Shepard didn't... wonder if Ashley got pregnant...   That'd be a shocker... and if he's with Miranda too. OOOOH!!!    Think that would ****** Miranda off because she can't(if it's true)

Think long and hard on why the answer is no.

[GuardianAngel470]

Liara is pretty much impossible. She is still a maiden and only 109. Maidens aren't fertile, only Matrons are.



Shepard will be dead by the time Liara could have a child unless there was some serious gene writing going on.



So then it is down to Ash/kaiden and Jack/Jacob.

That's not true if my understanding of Asari is currect (Which it might not be) The stages that an Asari have are not always determined by age but by the individual's behavior. Asari typically have the most children during their matron years because they get tired of dancing for centuries but that doesn't mean that they can't have children before then it just means that they perfer not to.

I'm thinking if Liara is pregnant it would be the equivalent of a 12 year old human getting pregnant.
The body isn't developed enough and their would likely be complications with the birthing process.

I don't think theirs a point to raising a family with Liara just appreciate the time you have with each other   By the time Liara is fertile Shepard would be dying and would never see his/her children grow up

If the Asari Maiden melds constantly she can trigger the matron stage a little earlier then usual.
Liara is about 250 years away from the Matron stage I think that's way too soon to trigger the matron stage

I think I just deduced it from the current info. I mean, Maidens meld all the time, unless asari have some nervous-system-linked way of "pulling out" I don't see how they couldn't be.

But I seem to remember hearing this somewhere. Maybe it was talking to samara about Morinth, or maybe it was somewhere else.

It might have been one of the books.

Closer to 250. 350 is average Matron, she is 109.

[GuardianAngel470]

My understanding of Asari is that there is a biological shift when they change from one stage to another.

It's listed in the ME1 Codex, under Biology, under the entry for "Asari".

The Codex wrote...

Asari pass through three climacteric life stages, marked by biochemical and physiological changes. The Maiden stage begins at birth and is marked by the drive to explore and experience. Most young asari are curious and restless.

The Matron stage of life begins around the age of 350, though it can be triggered earlier if the individual melds frequently. This period is marked by a desire to settle in one area and raise children.

The Matriarch stage begins around 700, or earlier if the individual melds rarely. Matriarchs become active in their community as sages and councilors, dispensing wisdom from centuries of experience.

That seems to indicate that their temperaments change, not their reproductive capabilities. From a reproductive standpoint, it seems dangerous that a species must live for over three hundred years before being able to produce offspring.

From the Codex The Maiden stage begins at birth and is marked by the drive to explore and experience. Most young asari are curious and restless.

The Matriarch stage begins around 700 years of age, or later if the individual melds rarely. Matriarchs become active in their community as sages and councilors, dispensing wisdom from centuries of experience. Their knowledge and guidance may be one reason why Matriarchs are rarely seen outside asari space.

However, it should be noted that, each stage can be started whenever an asari feels that she has reached the correct level of maturity. While each stage of life is marked by strong biological tendencies, individuals do make unexpected life choices. For example, there are Maidens who stay close to home rather than explore, Matrons who would rather work than build a family, and Matriarchs who have no interest in community affairs.



Note that each stage can be started whenever an Asari feels she has reached the correvt level of maturity.

I'm pretty sure if Liara wanted to have little blue babies with Shepard she could

[Foolsfolly]

Why would she want to? She's the Shadow Broker now and she seems to enjoy it. Having children would change that lifestyle, in simple terms the Base is no place to raise children...and that's a job where any weakness will be attacked by the vultures and power seekers.



Shepard couldn't have a child on the Normandy either, they're going to fight against a fleet of sentient dreadnaughts and their numerous pawns. The Normandy's already been destroyed once and boarded with the crew kidnapped and maybe killed.



It would be reckless to want kids before destroying the Reaper threat...and who says either one will survive that?
