I tried to make him look as close to me as possible (I actually got pretty close haha), and not to toot my own horn, but after seeing other peoples Shepards mine (and yours), actually look...normal. I even think the voice goes really well with the faces.

But anyway, back on topic...

Yeah I know that feeling. 4/5 years of playing with a custom and, well, you just can't see default Sheploo as Shepard anymore; automatically think of the face you made

Also banshee babies are grade A nightmare fuel.

I actually approve of this. Sure, it's disturbing, but off all the creatures in the glaxy, the Reapers would be the last to care about modesty, so there would be no justification for taking the extra energy to give their minions barbie-doll anatomics. With Edi it was simply unecessary, here it seems sorta natural.
Besides, it's not like the game shoves it into our faces, I don't think most players looked at the banshees and were like: "Okay, let's check out her naughty bits"
As opposed to "Kill it, kill it, kill it, KILL IT!!!"

Though I have to admit, this opens up some completely new fridge horror. Think about it. Only ardat yakshi are banshees, and the ardat yakshi are an extremely rare occurence in the asari race. Coupled with the destruction of the monastry via shepard, there should be only a handful of them left, yet multiplayer shows that the reapers have no shortage of them.
Now as said before, the fat and lined stomach makes it look that they are pregnant. Seeing how asari reproduce by simply getting some genetic information from their respective partner to upload on their own dna, which apparently has not been proven to biologically affect the child in any way, it wouldn't be that big of a strech to assume that banshees, thanks to reaper tech, are able to impregnate themselves without a partner (or forcefully extracting genetic information from their victims heads).

Which basically would mean that the reason why there are so many banshees is that they are constantly reproducing, so everytime shepard fights a banshee s/he is either killing a person turned into a monster AND forcefully selfimpregnated
OR
s/he fights like four weeks old, already pregnant monsters.

1% of asari are Ardat-Yakshi, and going through the list of colonies and doing the math, I think I got to there being around 80-100 million Ardat-Yakshi in total. How some asari still see them as myth is beyond me, I mean, hiding that many individuals, they must be really, really good at it.

No, 1% may be Ardat-Yakshi, but  a significantly smaller portion of them kill through sex, this would explain why there is only that monastary to house the ''lethal'' Ardat Yakshi, but there are so many banshees -- because most merely carry the gene, they aren't Ardat- Yakshi themselves.

Reapers seem to be able to take latent ones too. The PTSD asari on the citadel talks about a commando having a condition that led to her not being able to be "more than just friends", and active Ardat-Yakshi are per canonical sources not coopertive, would not end up in asari command. Asari who haven't become banshees yet fight against reaper control and become an indoctrinated slave before, and they seem to use the A-Y ability.

Rila's eyes were black when she fell under reaper control.

The condition is said to manifest at maturity and be undetectable before that, so if there is a 1% statistics, it's more than having a line of DNA code lying dormant in one of the strands.

So as not to scar everyone, I have used the low poly Xbox Live Pet version...

Best part of that game is punting those little bastards

Second best is bludgeoning those disembodied heads with the tentacles.

I feel like everyone is forgetting that Samara explained that the Ardat-Yakshi are sterile. Unless the reapers took time to change their genetic makeup to be able to reproduce. The Ardat-Yakshi can't have children, that is why Samara said Morinth couldn't be the genetic future of the Asari. Also I forgot where I read/heard this but the Ardat-Yakshi santuary in the game isn't the only one in existence. So I think that's where the reapers are getting so many banshees...

I had some theories but u went to far, lol...


Asaris aways creep me out. How can they breed children from females from other species too? I was drunk someday and started arguing with my ex-gf about Banshees having retractile Penis or something like that to have babys with other girls and when i saw this picture it blow my theory away.



NAH! Asaris have little whinnys hidden somewhere, maybe the tentacles in the head... Dunno...

My theory is that those bellies work as storage place for some reaper tech. And yes there are only three Ardat-Yakshi in universe: Morinth, Rila and Falere. However 1% of the asari carry the genetic dissorder. Ones with latent genes dont necessarily kill their partners rather than damage their nerve system more or less.

No, monitored work programs and other institutions exist according to codex. PTSD asari on the hospital implies that latent ones proving they won't be a threat to society can fight in a local millitary unit. Only does that are on the severe end of the A-Y spectrum get the death or seclusion ultimatum; Falere, Rila and Morinth are the only ones having the full A-Y disorder, but brain hemorrhaging seems like serious shiit, regardless of magnitude.
I bet the reapers didn't have any problems rounding them up for banshee production, as the asari governments probably have them all tracked to hide them from the rest of the galaxy.

This A-Y conversation is the most intelligent thing I've heard all day. I don't know if that is sad or not.

[Ashira Shepard]

It's usually the type of conversation that was found in the Samara threads. With a think numerous tries at Asari genetics.

Eventually everyone's head exploded and it was agreed it's better to just leave that particular thing alone.

What did they argue about next? 

[Ashira Shepard]

The dilemmas presented by the Code. Usually it's harsh nature and the moral issues, how it turns the paragon/renegade system on it's head.

There were other conversations I can't quite remember. But yeah, that was usually the kind of things talked about.

[Cossack72]

The code forbids I break the 4th wall and click these Paragon/Renegade prompts :3

I was thinking that myself. We'd have FLIR, UV spectrum and low light cameras linked into our HUD's

But that would spoil the creepyness...

I miss those old days from 2 months ago. All  the deep long thoughtful talks, they were so very mentally stimulating. I really miss that, now I come here and I rarely find such talks that require my replies be so very thoughtful.


Oh how I yern for the days before ME3 had crushed us so much and left us with so little. Most of what we got left with was so very many quistions about our beloved Samara, no awsers, and no true LI content of any kind. The simple scene isn't true content for LI, it could have been for a friendShep.  Oh how I miss those days.



Well I thought I'd add my newest Poster here too.
