EVERYONE, MOST PREGNANCIES TAKES PLACE OUT OF WOMB IN MASS EFFECT


Excerpt from Genetic Engineering codex-

"SCREENING AND THERAPY: Most governments provide free assessments and corrective therapy for genetic diseases in prospective parents. This has nearly eliminated everything from cystic fibrosis to nearsightedness. The earlier screening and therapy is performed, the more comprehensive the results. Though ideally performed on artificially fertilized zygotes in a lab, procedures are available for embryos in the womb and newborns, out of respect for personal beliefs."

That quote is about genetic engineering procedures.  There is no proof that the zygotes these procedures are performed on would not be reimplanted in the uterus afterwards, just like any other in vitro procedure.

It doesn't say that most babies are test tube babies. It says that genetic engeneering is "ideally performed on artificially fertilized zygotes in a lab." It says artificially fertilized in a lab, not artificially grown in a lab.

That Rebekah chick is pregnant in ME1 right? and what happen to kids on the Citadel? shouldn't they be running around?

In the ME3 trailer you can see a mother trying to get her child away before the British sniper shoot the Husk..

Pregnant femShep making Biotic Charge? Going into CQC with a krogan? Weehee. Yes, my main char is Vanguard.On the other hand, confirmed ladies also don't seem to enjoy the idea of fighting while pregnant.

Which is true. When I first heard of fable 2 allowing you to play as a girl main character and also be able to become pregnant I was like wait, I'm I going to be sporting a belly while I kill our enemies? I was both concerned for the baby and half way horrified that visibly pregnant protagonist was going to be wilding a broad sword and flinging spells at the husks and various other bad guys in the series but when they did in game all it was is your husband says, " I'm going to be a father," or , " You're pregnant," they go to a brief cutscene containing a newborn and a mother holding it and then you're staring at the cradle of your new child.

So not a huge deal as I thought it would be but still I wouldn't want fshep pregnant running around the galaxy just like I wouldn't want any of my compatible LI having babies mid or end game sense like I said shep should be sterile sense you only have a few hours at most when a person dies for viable egg/sperm to be collected and shep most likely spent at least 24hrs - a few weeks dead before Cerberus ever got a hold of her/him.

Not a human kid.

All the love interst seem to be made so that Shepard can't reproduce, Miranda's infertile, Tali's a quarian, Jack...you don't want Jack having a baby, and Ashley might be the only one who you could have a kid with but that's it.

[Neverwinter_Knight77]

A pregnant girlfriend wouldn't be much help in a foxhole, man.  I think it'd be best to leave marriage and kids until after the game is over.  An epilogue or something.  I've got a huge imagination and I'm a very sentimental guy, but this isn't The Sims, after all.  However, with regards to the actual romances...

In ME 2, it seemed like they were all about sex.  I'd like a little more love sprinkled in there, like a hug or something.

[Kidd]

Little blue children would be awesome =D

That said, I'd love if my Shep could choose to become pregnant. Even mid-game if possible. I can imagine great love talks where the father is protective and doesn't want Shep to hurt herself and their baby ^^ But in the thread I created about pregnancies before (although it was for DA2), it seems most people don't like the idea, so I guess I won't be getting it. Most people aren't as crazy as me after all =)

[Slurms McKenzie]

Somehow, I don't think Shepard would be parent-material.................

How about after ME3 rather than in? I could think of more fitting endings to the trilogy than Shepard playing with a baby.

Bingo. Remember, not everyone plays a MALE Shepard.

Might be a bit awkward if Shepard's water breaks in the middle of a mission.

I would laugh my **** out if i see a epilogue cutscene of shepard and tali looking at a baby in a suit with a oversized quarian helmet.

I find that idea incredibly stupid.

I'm sorry. I just can't believe that anyone would find that to be a good idea.

I said i'd laugh my sh*t out, i never said it would a good idea.

Maybe spreading your DNA around the galaxy is your idea of a fantastic thing for Manshep in ME3 but I hardly think Femshep feels like slogging through 9 months of pregnancy while there's Reapers to defeat.

Well the solution to that is an Asari is the mother (if thats even possible), I mean how many Asari talk about their bond-mate and its a female, so why couldn't it be the same between FemShep and Liara or another Asari.

[Dangerfoot]

It's like people have seen a bunch of movies and they just apply those tropes to Mass Effect, no matter how inapplicable. You can try to RP your Shepard, but the writing puts it pretty plainly that Shepard is a soldier all the way, s/he is barely a lover and certainly not a parent.

If Shepard lives, the ideal ending is for him/her to ascend to a position of higher military power/status, or for him/her to realize that the soldier's work is never done, and to take his/her crew and mate, and continue saving lives and kicking ass.

[Perfecti0nist]

No. Never. This is a horrible idea.

For Shepard (female or male) to have children during the main events of mass effect is just ridiculous and I'm sure jokes aside, no one wants that. I like the idea of my shep having kids but of course it would be after things are calm in the mass effect world and some down time is taken away from bloodshed and such. Not in the main game. I doubt we will see it even in an epilogue though because it's something that is hard to write well. Kids are not that horrible. I don't understand the aversion.

Ok, first, no no no no NO! It's completely unnecessary.

For any pregnancy there is a risk of miscarriage.  How much worse would the risk be for an active soldier, fighting all manner of bad things, getting shot at, maybe even tossed around biotically.  Wouldn't be good if femShep or Ashley miscarried in a middle of a fight.

mineralica wrote...

However, Shepard appearing from nowhere, grabbing Kaidan and proceeding to... errm... "We must discuss what happened on Horizon! - Shut up, I'm going to have a child in a case I'll die!!!" is even more surreal.

Although that mental image makes me chuckle, it isn't possible biologically.  If femShep got knocked up night-before-Ilos, then she died a few months later, was dead for roughly 2 years...  In a best case scenario, she would have shown by Horizon, and definitley by baby Reaper fight.  No one would have noticed her armor not fitting, or a bump forming?  Not to mention morning sickness, moodiness, gestational diabetes potential, etc?  Worst case?  Miscarried baby when Shepard dies, or after Shepard is brought back to life.

Save it for the epilogue sheez. I'm already expecting TIM to be Shepard's father Star Wars style, don't add to it!!

edit: This is also the future I expect everyone, male and female to be on birth control until they decide to have kids, so an oopsie at Ilos I don't see it happen.

I say yes to being able to have offspring for shepherd but NOT during ME3 because I doubt shepherd would have the time to do the deed and (if a female) be able to fight the reapers in combat whilst expecting a baby.

I expect that it maybe possibly spoken about with certain LI's about it and from there will create the ending for your characters LS (love story) enabling you to create it how you want whether you want it to be a one night stand or a true commitment such as marriage etc

Liara, Ashley, Jacob, Kaidan and Jack (assuming forcing element zero into you and becoming L2/L5 doesn't interfere with fertility, which I don't think it does.) would be the only ones to biologically do so.

What about the others? Wouldn't be fair to them...adoption is always nice, though! 

with liara its not really "his" baby. theres nothing in the baby from him. he just spun the genetic randomizer wheel.

S/he is still the "father" of the baby. I'm sure if it did happen, s/he would take full responsibility for it.

[Neverwinter_Knight77]

I finally caved in to peer pressure and made one FemShep. Just to see the Garrus romance plot and how it turns out in the end. Garrus is awesome.

if that is the case man shepherd, liara or Ashley more than 2 years late to giving birth

[ThatDancingTurian]

In ME3? No way. Personally, I don't really want an explicit baby-themed epilogue either. There are too few LI variations where a baby could happen, much less where it would.

As a side note, am I the only one who thinks a human raising an asari baby is a bad idea? The terrible twos will last years. You'll be watching Barney for a decade. It's horrifying.
