No.... Wrex's description of Aleena is nothing like Aria.... I don't even see the hints....

Better luck next time.

When Aria said "better luck next time" that was the biggest "NO WAY" I've ever had during Mass Effect 2. I just laughed as Aria was indeed Aleena. The way she says it and the fact it's at the end of her sentence... and Wrex mentions the same thing... they gotta be the same person!

I hope so. It would be bad-ass to see a cutscene where Wrex and Aria duke it out. Renegade and Paragon interrupts would make it so you HAVE to kill someone.

They liked each other, he was glad she survived, and she'll probably work with Shepard, eventually she'll find out what TIM's  guy did to her daughter.   I wouldn't mind having her on the team.

aria even says "better luck next time" if you persue the right dialogue options when talking to her.

Short answer? Its possible but without more evidence inconclusive.

You see I am torn on this... In one hand it would potentially be a pretty charged moment. What with Aria working for cerberus now, and Wrex building the krogan to a more significant force. The drama, the character growth.... It all feels pretty cool.

However on the flip side... The amount of characters just happening to know each other is starting to build a bit to the silly side. Random bartender we met Liara's father? The ruler of omega just happens to be Wrex's famous friend? Doctor Chloe just happens to be the doctor Kaiden dated? (all of these are just random theories I see around here, some more credible than others)

I can only take so much before my suspension of belief falters. Although if the actual interaction is done well I could probably forgive that.

Liara implies that things with Benezia and her father ended badly, and she seems hurt that said father was no part of her life whatsoever; Shepard can comfort her on this or agree that abandoning a child is a terrible thing. Asari seem to feel similar familial fidelity to that of humans, and have a similar stigma attached to "deadbeat dads." It doesn't strike you as perfectly reasonable that a tired, messed-up old Matriarch who's made a few mistakes in her day would feel some guilt about abandoning her daughter, and deliberately seek out a home and source of employment that put her near enough to said daughter to keep an eye on her, to have her, at least peripherally, in her life? It's not like Liara's location was a secret, she's one of the strongest and most well-regarded political forces in Nos Astra by the time Shep touches down on Illium. It's no more strange for Liara's father to choose to work in a bar thirty feet from Liara's office than it would be for Hannah Shepard to retire on the same planet as Shep so she can be around for the grandchildren.

Similarly, Shepard is an exceptional individual. Shepard is therefore going to end up doing exceptional things, like chasing down rogue Spectres, and uniting the leaders of multiple species in galactic war. As a direct result, most of the people who Shepard meets and interacts with the most are going to be similarly exceptional -- legendary mercenaries, peerless thieves, the elitest of soldiers and pilots and the most powerful of biotics. Because only exceptional people end up surviving exceptional missions, and exceptional people are most likely to make a lasting impression on each other and have things in common.

Wrex, obviously, is one of these exceptional people. And as an exceptional person himself, he's going to also have spent a lot of time around exceptional people, and they'll be the ones who he remembers most fondly and has the best stories about. And those exceptional people will do exceptional things of their own, like take control of and rule over the most notorious space station in the Terminus.

If you're the President of the US and you meet the Prime Minister of Australia, are you going to be shocked when it turns out that both of you know the Queen Mother of England? Of course not. So why should it shock you if you're Commander Shepard and you meet the Queen of Omega, and find out you both know the Warlord of Tuchanka?

The main reason that it makes sense that Aria is Aleena is because if she wasn't, all that detailed backstory would be worthless. When you're trying to write something (assuming you're doing that and subscribing to conventional good writing routines and not doing some crazy avant garde thing like "The Body: An Essay" which is a book comprised of footnotes with a conspicuously absent body text), the only time that backstory that intense is gonna come up is when it relates to something that matters.

For example, for people who've read A Song of Ice and Fire, would Martin have really written so much about Jorah Mormont's background if it wasn't gonna have some implications later? Or would he have just given him a single paragraph like he did with Dolorous Edd?

If Aria isn't Aleena, then all that backstory ceases to serve purpose and become a bunch of junk. I Mean, why would I care about her background unless it had some implication, even if it's just that she knew Wrex previously?

Aethyta I'm less sure about.

Really annoyed that I can't post on the other thread social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/128/index/2761351/4 because of this lame game registration thing they put in, I don't trust EA with a thing and no one should after how they repeatedly make themselves a target for hackers with their bad attitudes towards customers, you can tell some kind of ID theft will happen like with Sony at some point -.-

Anyway, back to what I actually wanted to post, does anyone know what happened to the Aria for ME3 squadmate group in my signature?

It seems like it's just vanished? Can users delete groups they have made without the consent of lots of other members? I had a lot of posts there *cries*  I found on google the post about a year ago about when it was originally made is here: social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/105/index/844218/2#1817991 ... It was USED a lot by fans, really sad if nothing can be recovered I wrote a bunch of stuff in there

P.S. Does anyone know if the mods will freak out at me if I try update and build on my old ingame photography tutorial (at social.bioware.com/qnwn.net/forums/forum/1/topic/103/index/3312059/1 )? www.deadendthrills.com has done a great job with that stuff too over the past year or so
(I ask because the mods here have acted with rather questionable judgement in standing up for bullies when I did not agree with some Ashley and Kaiden fanshippers who kept insulting me constantly for daring to disagree

Aria=Aleena is a very good idea if they do something about it, like an special quest with Wrex and Aria as team members, tying in with their past. Good dialogue and banter between them etc.
