I really wish I could just get an answer on if pursuing her in ME2 will actually affect ME3 at all, I'd hate to make a profile just for that to find out it was pointless. I'm not saying I dissaprove of how they did the arc, I think it's interesting how they did it. And yes, I also do not want to have EVERYONE getting romanced, but I was just asking for your input.

She shouldn't be romanceable she already stated her view on the subject if she shows up wanting shep in 3 she's been retconed same goes for Mordin.

I thought Samara was an interesting character and she could have been a good romance option in ME2, but I think that moment has passed. "In another time, another life" shouldn't mean "In Mass Effect 3."

I also kind of dig that she's immune to Shep's charms.

[slimgrin]

I'd diddle the hell out of Samara but I do think it's pretty cool she's out of reach in ME2.

[sg1fan75]

I tried hard to romance her. Samara is sexy and just very interesting if she is an option in ME3 i would be very happy about it.

[Maggot4everr]

Thanks for all of the input.

"Don´t pursue this please..." I was about to cry when she said that, it hurts her incredibly.

Well it wouldn't be a retcon, people throw that word around way too much. But I would agree that she should just remain a non romance option, it was done very well.

I know! I hope she changes her mind in ME3.....

[PhatSeeJay]

 She's the most awesome space MILF I've ever met and I want her badly. But I respect her for sticking to her beliefs. Just hope we can be friends.

hm...

i tend to like the asari (hell - call me crazy but good looking aliens get to me in any science fiction i have watched or read (i star wars i love twi'leks for example))

so of course i liked to have her on my team - and would have loved to have her as a romance option, even more because i could not get liara back (at least not really...shadow broker was nice, but it was nothing tangible IMHO)....so yes, please make her available in mass effect 3 (hell i would have liked a lot more options in ME2 - like: kasumi, Dr. Chakwas, the female engineer....i might have loved it to have been able to have flings on the side, too....some might say that this is wrong, but i am very open minded about sex - i do not confuse sex with love or see the necessity to be in love to have sex, even more, we are in the future and i am sure that this will be seen more openly by that time)

so my few cents

greetings LAX

static character = consistent character

dynamic character = retconned

Samara wanting to jump Shepard's bones = character assassination

There's a bit of nuance involved here.

Agreed.  I think it could be well done, though.  But it won't happen...Hell I wonder if she'll get more than a passing cameo.

Still, I keep a glimmer of hope and support 

I'd be happy to have her as a playable character for 1 mission.

One thing is not entirely clear about Samara which leaves room for an ME3 romance.

If Samara truly meant everything she said in ME2 at 100% strength, then nothing will happen between Samara and Shepard, and I respect that. I hope she will find fulfillment.

If, on the other hand--and I find this to be incredibly likely under the circumstances--Samara deep down longs to feel love again, longs to have children who could go on to have children of their own... then I would love for her to find happiness with Shepard or even with someone else.

I really do think that deep down, Samara is mostly afraid to live through the heartbreak of hoping for so long, only to find out that she has yet again borne a child doomed to seclusion and sterility. I cannot blame her for that, but I believe that with a non-asari partner, she stands a chance of having a child that will not be an Ardat-Yakshi. I would be so happy to see her life's dashed hopes redeemed.

[Tonymac]

Very nice point, Wynne.

She is in her Matron stage - yet I believe even Matrons can have children. I might have to check the lore, but I doubt the lore has that high a detail level as of yet.

Since their offspring would be non-pureblood (obviously), there should be no Ardat-Yakshi. Since their ages are largely offset it is likely that they will be reaching end of life (assuming old age) at around the same time. They could make it work.

[Texhnolyze101]

If your romancing liara and somewhat romance samara does she say anything about it in lair of the shadow broker?

Nope. Liara does not comment on either Samara or Kelly.

[Clonedzero]

i like that she's just out of reach.
that forbidden fruit that you want but cant have.

its cool that they have that build up and then shepard gets shutdown. makes things seem more believable that shepard cant get any piece of ass he/she wants lol

I get shutdown in real life my Shep has better game than me.

[Wynne]

I like that Shepard got shut down, not that Samara was the only one to do it (Mordin, Wrex, Legion, and Grunt certainly don't want to break a piece off the ol' Shep bar) but I don't think that needs to be the end of it to make the point. The power is in Samara's hands. If she goes for Shepard in the third game, it will be because she really formed a deep connection with you in the short time you shared together. It will feel like a romance of more substance because it wasn't a fling that formed under pressure and might fizzle out after the tension is gone; it's more two people who live their own independent lives being unable to forget each other because there was something truly real there.

Thank you. I agree; I see ample potential for Shepard and Samara if she should decide she wants a union.

I have been wondering lately what a truly old asari is like--we've only seen Benezia, Aethyta, and Samara so far, but none of them seems the least bit hunchbacked or weakened/wearied by the years. They have only the very faintest hint of wrinkles if you squint really hard. I wonder what it's like for them when they die; whether they simply pass on unexpectedly or just slowly turn more and more weary. Asari are all so vital; it's hard to imagine one succumbing to age and dying.

For this reason, I would think that Matriarchs can have children, too, up to a certain point. It just seems to make sense for them as a species. But even if she couldn't, a relationship could still happen; it really depends on whether she longs to feel that bond with someone again.

yorkj86 wrote...

They could just not have children.  Sterile couples, or couples where one partner is sterile, don't need to have children to be romantically "complete."  Also, adoption.

I agree wholeheartedly--in general. However, in Samara's specific case, she tried three times. She could have allowed her mate to bear the children if she were ambivalent, but it's clear she wanted to have that bond--she wanted to carry daughters of her own. I think that Samara in particular longs to have some part of her carry on even after she dies, and nearing the end of her life, it causes her pain to see that instead of bringing life into the world, she brought death in.

If she can still have children, I think some part of her wants to, but she is--very very understandably--afraid to do so. Trying again would feel like inviting despair back into her life, and possibly even another Morinth.

But I would like to see her work through that. I think Samara having a daughter that could have children of her own would be a wonderful thing, both for her and her other daughters, who cannot have children themselves.

[PauseforEffect]

I think Samara could very well have kids again; Liara was only a century and even if her mother had her just as Benezia was turning Matriarch, that still proves that Asari are viable even in their twilight century.
Personally, I think the reason why Samara will not try again to have kids is out of atonement for both her children & the people dead because of Morinth. She failed them both & she now sees the only way she can contribute to the galaxy is to be a tool of justice.
If she cannot be a romance option in ME3, then at least acknowledgement of the love that could not be between Shepard and her. A flicker of regret, a moment's touch, something to show how she will always carry Shepard close to her heart until death finds her.

[Maggot4everr]

A lot of interesting viewpoints guys, I like them all.

[Keladis]

I support the idea of a Samara romance in mass effect 3.
