This is just a question that's been bothering since i thought of it  like 12 minutes ago. Is Jack and Ashley the only female LI that can actually produce a mini Shepard.
Cuz Liara the thing would always be asari with no Shep DNA
Miranda is infertile (says so in the SB dossiers)
Tali would prolly die if you attempted

(And no this does not mean i want kids or babies in mass effect, i neither endorse nor refute the option)
PS i just want a straight answer yes or no (dont need people getting on my ass, if they think it's a pointless thread)

With all the drugs she's been given as a child, I'm having serious doubts as to Jack's ability to produce healthy children. So to answer your question: Yes. If you'd want a human child with a ME LI, Ashley is (imo) the only available choice.

[Ryzaki]

They'll probably be a new female human LI in ME3. She'll probably be fertile too.

The greater concern, to my mind, is the idea that two grown adults of completely different species existing in a setting where faster than light space travel is common place, attempting to have a child yet being completely unaware of the fact that they're not even remotely genetically compatible.

It would be more productive for Shepard to attempt to have child with a banana, because banans and humans at least share fifty per-cent of their genetic code, unlike quarians and humans, who share zero per-cent of their genetic code.

Yes but anything related to Shepard is never legit is it?

[Cutlass Jack]

I'm sure Shepard can have illegitimate children with them too.

But I think it more likely Shep would adopt anyway.

[Ieldra]

Miranda's infertility can be cured or circumvented by technology. Anything else would be completely implausible.

Point of ME is to save the galaxy, not to "attempt to have children."

Now, now.  Suspension of disbelief can be a wonderful thing.

My femShep prefers fish and space hamsters.

I'm surprised that people are convinced the Shepard is even capable of fathering children, given some of the stuff that's happened to him.

[Gavinthelocust]

Realistically speaking this child will have the biggest god damn shoes to fill in the entire galaxy and will probably be harassed for her/his entire life because of it.

Absolutely.

My point though, is that there are far better reasons than the quarian compromised immune system as to why Shepard and Tali couldn't produce a child even if they wanted to.

I'm frequently disapointed by how little people know about their own biology.

I'm thinking Shepard is infertile by now.

Wait are you talking biologically meaning he got no mini hims in his gonads or psychologically meaning that he'd have a mental breakdown or something?

He damn better be infertile. Or it will be trouble by ME3's time

You really have to ask?

[XX55XX]

What about Liara and the "little blue children?"

[upsettingshorts]

"Legit kid?"

So like, the little brat's birth is witnessed by a notary public?

[InvaderErl]

Liara's moreso using Shepard to stimulate her own nervous system to do whatever it is they do but its not really Shepard's child in any genetic sense of the word. Apparently all the Asari need is a little radiation to start popping out kids.

If they can successfully bring him back from the dead with his personality and memory intact restoring his reproduction abilities shouldn't be an issue.

Can't it be both? I was mostly suggesting that it's likely that given all the horrible **** he's been through, not least dying and being frozen for a very long time.

I mean, realistically, it being 2185, I'm sure they have ways around being basically infertile for everyone. If you can grow a Krogan in a tank, even a crap one (let alone Grunt), you can grow an egg or sperm cell and insert working DNA from the appropriate person into it. I'm just saying it's a bit of an assumption.

Also man so many Asari would slap so many people in this thread for saying that their kids weren't "legit". Jeez.

I'm pretty sure that'd be way at the bottom of the list, far below "heal facial scars", so I don't believe it would have been done by the time he/she came back. As noted, I'm sure it's fixable, given time and money.

Doesn't work the same way. They litterally explain that Asari don't "get pregnant" the same way humans do. They don't have to bump uglies, they have to do that whole "Embrace eternity" thingy ma bob with their mind.

Thus, shepard needs not be capable, nor male, to have "little blue children" with Liara ;p


That being said.. Shepard would make a terrible father. Or mother. Or both?

NO MASS EFFECT BABIES.

Well, they aren't, not for Shepard. Asari essentially reproduce by parthenogenesis.

Uh...I'm pretty sure the reproduction bits would've been done *before* the face seeing as they'd have to work with his insides. They were supposed to restore him to stock with a few extra bits. I'm pretty sure if Shep was fertile to begin with he/she's fertile now. 

It's more than likely already fixed. They were pretty much done with Shepard by the time the attack happens. The face can be healed on the Normandy. They probably just needed to add his/her scars if they had any and take away the scarring from the procedure. 

They do make a point in saying Shep's pretty much the way he/she was with an extra few bits.
