Wow I haven't checked the thread in a while and the topics have been all over the place.

Think I should post a quick correction to my last post after further investigation.
Naked asari / Liara and 'naked standard human female' / Ash are of the same overall height and have technically the same body model but the proportions are actually different. A picture says more than ...
That long neck ... 
Compared from chin to top of the head Liara 'wins' by roughly 1cm btw, thanks to her crests.
So much for what the game tells us about the height difference. Now back to the actually important topics. 
Why did you censor these? If these are just the in game models, then there's nothing to actually censor so why bother?
But I'm not really surprised by this - Liara - and the Asari in general, especially in ME3 - seem to have unique
textures but not unique models. Very few people seem to have unique models.
It's through the use of texture that they make Liara seem incredibly different from other characters and even other Asari, and they do a really good job at it.

For the record, that's a logical fallacy known as privileging the hypothesis - why should people, en masse, take up smoking *in particular*?
And yeah, I don't like that picture.The tobacco industry has enough publicity without you contributing to it. Creating positive associations (by magic smoking magically safe, forgetting that the reason people smoke is that they're addicted to the nicotine) is unnecessary and unwanted.
Pretty serious today? You must have hated all the cigs burning on the Normandy in ME3 then. I guess you could just say they were pot. My friends who foam at the mouth over tobacco are pushing to legalize marijuana which I find weird but ... such is life.
Given my avatar, I have to weigh in on this topic.
First of all, it's not at all ridiculous to be very anti-tobacco but very pro-marijuana. I'm a firm supporter of marijuana, but I can't stand tobacco and I never encourage using it - I've had people make edits for me of Liara smoking tobacco cigars (there's one of her wearing shades smoking a cigar) that I won't use because I don't condone tobacco smoking and I don't like to see Liara smoking tobacco. (My avatar is Liara smoking weed, not tobacco, for the record)
But I fully endorse weed and can very easily see her smoking it, and that's because I know the difference between the two - tobacco is extremely harmful and even physically addicting, and weed isn't. It's just that simple and I could go into more detail, but that's the short version of it, and it's why people can support weed and still be against tobacco and not be hypocrites and it's not weird at all.
I see Liara as being intelligent and knowledgeable about any substance she'd use as well, so I see tobacco as out of character for her because she'd never start, but by the same token she'd know weed is harmless and the effects of it, and how to use it responsibly, so she wouldn't have any problems with it.
Liara also seems like she has a very strong character and so I don't see her getting mentally addicted to weed and unable to control herself and put it down when she needs to - and this is the biggest issue I've seen when it comes to any harms from weed - whether or not you have the strength of will to put it down when you have other responsibilities or if you let yourself get addicted. Some people do, some people don't.
But a question - I never actually saw these apparent cigarettes around the Normandy, can anyone tell me where to look, or post some screenshots? I reasoned out Liara's substance use and disuse all on my own, so to hear there actually was something in the game? And I somehow missed it completely? Just interesting.

Also, I don't get Justin Bieber's appeal either!
