Well, if the asari race (as in, every single last one of them) agreed to let me bang whoever I wanted when I wanted, I might consider saving the asari.


If I save humantiy, I could get all the babes I want. Who needs the squidheads?^_^

It would come down to which species has the larger population. If it came down to saving one asari versus one human, all other things being equal, I'd save the human.

Back in the neighborhood of pages 10-20, we discussed this.

The galaxy has a lot more asari.

Anybody who chooses aliens over humans for survival needs to get their act together. I don't care if your LI is a alien , love is a emotion caused by hormones and the purpose of it is to create HUMAN children , love makes our species survive.

You are misunderstanding me. You think I'm claiming that one person's self-interests are always in competition with another's self-interests. I did not claim this. In fact, you're agreeing with what I did say.


Ahh, I get what you meant now. In that case you ignored the question posed to you. If you have compelling evidence that the Asari is open and welcoming to new species- than what compelling evidence do you have to argue that the Asari wish to dominate or alike?

Or; what reason do you have to believe that the Asari's self interests are a bad thing for the galactic community?



Well I'll answer the second question first. I don't believe that self-interest is inherantly bad.  I believe that self-interest is just a fact of human nature. Based on this belief, I think any action one takes is based on self-interest:

If the Asari want to cooperate with other species, it's because (they think) it best serves their self-interests. They may think that waring with the other species to gain dominance over them is too risky and too costly, or they may think that it would be impossible to win. If they lost, then they would have gained nothing and would probably be in a worse position than before they made war. Being at peace best serves their interests.

To answer your first question, I believe that it is naive to think that neither the Asari, nor the Turians, nor the Salarians, nor the Humans want dominance over anyone else. I think they all wish to have control and the upper hand, but they think that being peaceful with one another is better than waring with one another because the former better serves their self-interests than the latter. In this case, peace has less risk involved than war. They believe that the benefits that come with peace outweigh the possible benefits that come with winning a risky, unpredicatable war. Even if everyone chooses peace over war, you can count on each species secretly developing technologies that give them an edge over their counterparts.

What we know for certain is that the Asari understand that war is a reality. If they didn't understand this, then they would not have a military. Their military exists to protect and promote their self-interests just like the other species' militaries exist to protect and promote their own. Self-interest guarantees that war will always exist. If altruism and selflessness were a fact of human nature, then there would never be war.


However the Asari had a far superior army when the Salarians found the citadel. The Asari embraced the Salarians and treated them as equals. There is nothing here that implies that the Asari even for a moment sought dominance.

If the Asari wanted dominance, they would have imposed it when the first 'alien species' joined the Citadel- especially if that speciesis far weaker than their own (such as was the case).

This is also part of why I'd rather see an Asari government than a strictly Human government. I don't believe humanity would have done the same in that place.

If I'd save humanity, I'd propably get just a pat on the back. :(

EDIT:
But it's still a bit of a wonder why people talk about this stuff still. Humans need allies, Asari are allies. Asari got ships (not matter what someone claims, they do and advanced ones none other). You need also troops, they got commandos. System Alliance fights a bit like commando unit does, attacking supply lines and such, because they really don't have manpowa either.

So, show a bit more love and don't let reapers have more husks and resources from asari worlds, that just helps them out!

Did the Asari have a superior army compared to the Salarians? I don't recall anything from the game (through dialogue or codexes) that says so.

I like the Asari and the Quarians, and the Geth and the Turians and the Salarians (starting to sound like Kelly here) but if it's a choice between dooming any one of them to save humanity? Saving humanity.

I think that my problem with that argument is that it is unlikely to convince the other people of the merit of saving humanity.

On the other hand, there are various arguments that could be made for saving the asari - there would be more time to systematically collect knowledge that might otherwise be lost after physical records are destroyed (asari can live for more than a millennium), they are all biotics - possibly without implants - (e.g. for lifting/moving heavy items without construction vehicles), longer productive lives, possibly faster reproduction (no males needed), etc
[Which is, of course, because the asari were created as a species virtually identical to humans with a bunch of useful traits - slow ageing and Force affinity]

I get that the Asari may have their uses and their merits and all that.

But I will save my own species before I save another species 100/100 times.

Asari are basically the worst choice for war, the codex/wiki says so.

Humans, turians, krogan and geth are all better options than the asari. The asari's militairy has little numbers, there are only a hand-full asari commando's and the asari are generally not suited for warfare. You'd be better off with the turians, krogan or geth.

If you want troops, save the turians or humans first (they both have the largest fleet and the most sophisticated militairy).

I don't know if I'd consider them the worst choice. They have the 2nd largest number of dreadnoughts (also this changes if you allow the Council to die in ME1; the humans essentially take over).

I actually think they are a better choice than the krogan though. The krogan are kind of unified (if you save Wrex), but I still don't see them joining together to fight a threat.

O really? Have you forgotten what the krogan lifestyle is all about?

Krogans LIVE for fighting and/or warfare! It's what they do. I think 99 out of 100 krogans would be honered and exited to join humanity in taking back planet earth. They'd finally be able to show what they're made of against the strongest opponent the galaxy has ever seen so far!


To rally the Krogan, all you'd have to do is go to Tuchanka, and yell: "Hey, do you guys want to join us in kicking the ass of the biggest scumbags the galaxy has ever seen?"

Garanteed that almost all krogan would go like: "HELL YES! WE ARE KROGAN! We shall show those reapers who are the strongest warriors of the galaxy!"

Yes, but I would rather have a sophisticated, unified force than multiple bands of bloodthirsty krogan. They could be difficult to control. :P

Not if we have Wrex on our side.

Also, the krogan didn't seem to have trouble to work together in the rachni-war. All the krogan need are some commando's that have some keen knowledge on warfare to deploy the krogan and command them. Turians or humans could fill in that role if you didn't save the asari.


Edit: Also, the asari militairy ISN'T a sophisticated and united force. If you want a sophisitcated united force, you'll be best of with the turians or humans.

No, Asari are boring and not even that attractive. They're so overdone, that I'd rather hump a krogan.

Note the original topic. This is not about loving/hating the Asari, it is about some people placing Asari interests ahead of Human interests. I have nothing against using the Asari to promote human interests. I have a problem with using humans to promote Asari interests counter to our own interests.

So some of you would go against the basic human essence of survival and exterminate the human race just so another race could continue on. Yep, I think all of you are lying to yourself to try to look cool.
