21. Asari are told to be asexual - in ME1 Liara describes asari as mono-gender, all female species.

26. Crouds in the Citidel chambers


though this is true revelation does state the asari as asexual so he gets the point for that one.

That is also described in revelation as it states when the ambasador is called she notes that the spectators seats are empty.


1. I think we should stick with the material that's in the game.

2. Spectator seats would likely refer to seats giving diplomats and their staff such as secretaries, advisors etc. In Deception it's described to be like town square where crowds can go to look what is happening.

Yeah, it would take quite a bit to make this fit in canon - if anything I imagine a "broad strokes" ruling will take place. That most of the events happened, but the character motivations fit with established characters, and none of the silly stuff happened. I'm looking at you, Kai Leng.


TiM too. Please go kill that girl I spent billions on because she is annoyed with me.


Now excuse me while I go have a meeting with the Cerberus marketing department...


Didn't you hear? TIM designs their billboard advertising himself. 

When he isn't commissioning polling on Cerberus' approval ratings on alien planets, you see.

I love how they actually did polling to figure out that aliens don't like them.

Cerberus Logic.

Makes you wonder how anyone can defend them.

Aliens don't like the pro-human paramilitary extremist group? Nah...

Those figures must be wrong or something.

This human dominance is for your own good, you aliens. Don't you get it?

Can anyone add me to the Google docs document please?

If you can, please PM me so I can PM you my e-mail from my gmail account.


If you have read the thread you may have noticed that in most cases people have discussed about errors, checked and quoted a citation from contradicting material before error is listed on document.

Why you can't discuss about the issues you have with entries you want to delete?

The deffinition of asexual fits both ME revelation and ME1-3

source dictionary.com

a·sex·u·al   [ey-sek-shoo-uhPosted Imagel] sexual organs. b. independent of sexual especially not involving the union of male and female germ cells. 2. free from or unaffected by sexuality: an asexual friendship


I'm not defending him but the points are kind of correct according to drew's work.


source Oxford Dictionaries


Asexual

Pronunciation:
/eɪˈsɛksjʊəl, -ʃʊəl/

adjective

1 without sexual feelings or associations: she wore a grey frock, discreet and asexual

2 Biology (of reproduction) not involving the fusion of gametes.
without sex or sexual organs: asexual parasites

noun

a person who has no sexual feelings or desires


So, if asari are asexual they either a) do not have sexual feelings, or B) they reproduce asexually, both of which whe know to be false. Even the dictionary.com quote affirms this.

Ergo, asari are not asexual, and to continue to use that word in connection to the asari is incorrect.

You gotta agree that name is accurate for every Mass Effect fan who makes mistake of assuming that it might be a good book ;P

Likely the whole point behind the name.

This is what I'm trying to get accross. Somehow my Shepard seems to have had relations with two different Asari. If then are genuinely asexual, then this would not be possible.

I was hoping Kai Leng's racism would be a little more complex that "They're different and thus scare me".

Seriously... this was a series of 4 books. Why hand the last one to a guy who's infamous for being terrible? I understand that Drew was probably too busy for it, but at least give it to someone who will go to the lengths to understand the material and its characters.

That and the asari air kisses. Can you imagine either a vanguard or a sentinel romancing Liara? The ship would have power fluctuations the size of a dreadnought.

Not to mention adepts! They could probably destroy the damn Normandy while they're at it, those fools!

He literally considers himself a racist in Deception. Isn't that like saying, my views are baseless, but I am proud of them anyways?

Generally speaking? Yes.
