I wonder what the title for a book on raising human children for aliens whose human wife/GF is expecting a baby would be?

"Human children for dummies?"
"What to expect when expecting: Alien stepfather edition?"

I'm wondering, what would happen to a different-species step-parent if something happened to their alien partner? Would they have any right to their partner's child?

Thankfully, the Asari likely had that worked out with the other races over that controversy. Child probably goes to whichever guardian most qualified to take care of them. Marriage between species is apparently not taboo, so in a way, the couple would be in a marital contract enabling either one custody rights in the event of a spouse's death.
Now I've got an image of Garrus hunched over a parenting book in the middle of the night with Shepard in the other room trying to quiet their kid.

I doubt there even is one yet. Human's are barely one generation into the galactic community, around thirty years. Which is also why I am so annoyed at bioware for making humanity as expansive as it is.

Sci fi writers have no sense of scale.

I don't know about marriage, but I'm pretty sure if the other species parent legally adopted the child, they would continue to be the guardian regarldess of the species difference. I'm guessing this based on the court case where two humans were fighting for custody of their adopted turian child, whose father had returned after absence.

They ended up releasing the child back to [her] father, but the case seemed to have enough grounds to appear in court to debate it out. So at least in the citadel's mind law>species.

Is anyone else annoyed that Bioware had Shepard say that 'Everyone finds Asari attractive' line whilst discussing Garrus with Liara?

I didn't like that (what should have been) a conversation about shepard's feelings about garrus , had shepard talking about asari -_-. That said, her tone sounded sarcastic so I have forgiven it.

Yes it was, it was a long lasting one too that lasted over a few entries. The turian child was adopted after being orphaned during conflict (I can't remember which one, but it was a heavy one.) The high profile coverage of the child being adopted alerted the father who survived to come for his child.

It was actually a very interesting read.

That custody story was fan made, it was posted as unnoficial news after the CDN stopped. There's been official stories of  children adopted by alien parents though, like a pair of turians adopted by asari and a batarian with human parents.

Really? I could have sworn that was one of the official ones, if its not its a rather well mad one.

I generally dislike the asari (I probably would have liked them more if they looked more androgynous, I liked the concept, but the fact that all of them looked female screamed fanservice for me). Yeah, I was annoyed too.
Then again, yes, Shepard sounded sarcastic.

Agreed. I'm assuming sarcasm. (mostly because I feel like Liara rummaging through Shepard's mind in front of the squad in ME1 incredibly invasive in context of what Liara is actually doing.)  This is why canon!shep is actually very NOT into Asari.

I wish they were a proper androgynous race of blue people, that would have made them a lot more interesting. As it stands they are the mary sue race that tries to (unsuccessfully) convince people that they're "like so prejudiced against" and not over sexualized Posted Image .

I didn't like that line about the asari either, and I didn't even play the DLC... but even if I did, my Garrusmance FemShep would never invite Liara over to talk anyway. She doesn't like Liara at all, or the asari in general. It's not the same kind of hatred she feels for batarians, but I think if one more flirts with her, she will go Renegade interrupt crazy.

Tbh that line didn't bother me as much as the forced hug with Liara in the main game. I don't dislike Liara (apart from the damn ninjamance), but I assume many people would not have their Shep hug her. I know my Shep wouldn't.

Also, Garrus.

Same for me. I have a lot of Shepards who wouldn't have hugged Liara. Even some who like her or consider her a valuable ally, but are just not the type to hug people. If we had two options to open the conversation, a hug and something more neutral like a handshake, that would have been perfect. I think a good example of choice would be the Paragon interrupt hug on Tali's loyalty mission. One of my Shepards, Carson, does not hug Tali. He cares about her very much, but the environment he grew up in (Earthborn) was not very big on hugging, so he would consider that gesture to be unwelcome. Instead, he comforts her with words.

Also, to relate this back to Garrus, I tried to make Shep hug him in his recruitment mission. She stood there with open arms, and... nothing. xD He didn't go for it.

I loved the reunion with Garrus. It felt genuine. He looked exhausted and yet very happy to see you, and Shep is all like "Garrus! Come and hug me! :D"
The "You nailed me good a couple times by the way" line also never fails to crack me up.

His and Wrex's reunions were the best in my opinion.

I agree, the reunion with Garrus was great. Wrex too. "Shepard, my friend!" :D

That must be it. Garrus won't leave his post to hug Shepard. Shepard needs to come to him.

Also, your new avatar amuses me.
