Samara's barriers are going to be extremely formidable. Actual combat risk is minimal, and asari prefer to wear light outfits during battle for maximum mobility (the commandos just seem to wear leather).
This. In fact asari commandos should have been the strongest fighters in the galaxy, but gameplay and the always changing lore makes sure that this doesn't happen. We have to remember that biotics are the most formidable warriors, and that asari can live up to 1200 years and are naturally biotics. All those years of training...
You'd think in those hundreds of years they'd learn the value of having a passive layer of protection to augment their barriers, deal with ambushes, protect against environmental hazards, etc.
But... that wouldn't be sexy, would it?
Asari commandos wear armor...
And so they do. Most of them even know to zip up the part over their chest and neck...

Whats saddening is that people care more about the breast of Samara and all the chicks than the personality and the wonderful character behind it.
Not as sad as the severely repressed people who go to insane lengths to convince themselves that the gorgeous semi-naked lesbian human they're looking at isn't really naked or a lesbian, or even human, so it's okay to look at her.

Asari are different than Humans okay, why are we arguing??
Legion: "To apply another species ethics to another is racist"(im am paraphrasing here i can't really remember)
"No two species are identical. All must be judged on their own merits. Treating every species like one's own is racist. Even benign anthropomorphism."
That's a great line by Legion.
Personally I dislike it. It's moral relativism as it's basest even though the Geth advocate a pan-species ideology of development.Goneaviking wrote...

It is a great line, and I think it makes sense in real world scenarios.
However the asari were developed to titillate players by virtue of being blue alien supermodels. With that in mind it is both reasonable and commendable to judge them with the knowledge that they are fiction created to a purpose.

I'm always amused at the people who complain that Miranda should wear some armor and yet they don't seem to mind that Jack goes to battle with nothing but some straps to cover her bewbs.

Actually, I think they should both wear some armor or something, and I got the AAPs just to do something about that.

Maybe not "religious zealot", but "warrior monk" and "abstinent" describes Samara perfectly.

Truth is, I'd rather Samara buttoned up as well - it seems more consistent with her personality -
I actually agree with this. My strategy is to use one's own morality, but to take into account that which is physically better and/or makes more sense for other species if necessary.Dean_the_Young wrote...

It's one of those lines that sounds nice, but is meaningless in practice. It invalidates all standards of measurements of a group other than the ones of its own creation... but such self-evaluation is hardly objective nor does it have any standard compared to others.
