If someone steals you sperm and uses it to make a child...Is it rape?
Is it rape? No, it's just Liara. Liara's gonna Liara.

1. It's not rape. Rape is something sexual.Wulfram wrote...
If she is Shepard's daughter with Liara, why would there be any ambiguity?
Seems silly all round, really. And the Liara raped Shepard idiocy doesn't need any reinforcement.
This would be call someone stealing your sperm to make a baby a rapest.
2.It would have ambiguity because the player can turn down the gift.

I wouldn't like this. I would prefer if the next Mass Effect is in the future Shepard is mentioned but not a driving aspect. Too many plot land mines and I would prefer it if we moved on to new things.

Could also be Shepards daughter with the Consort for people with the right playthrough.Wulfram wrote...

"Silly asari, Shepard was a human."
"But asr...."
"HUMANITY FIRST ****!"
The Asari would not be the Main Character. She wouldn't necessarily be a combat NPC at all: she could, in which case she'd be an obvious biotic class, but she could also be a non-combat NPC with plot signficance. Something like Traynor or Steve, who had plot arcs and development outside of their immediate role on the ship.andy69156915 wrote...
Is this on the idea of the next game will have an Asari main character? I wouldn't mind, but classes would be a problem. All Asari are biotic, so it would force you to be one of the three biotic classes, with infiltrator and engineer and soldier gone.

The way Asari do it? Yes, it is rape since it involves physical intimacy. Embracing eternity with Shepard without telling Shepard that she intends to conceive a child would count as rape
It could have more basis that that, even: some token or momento that really was Shepard's. Something like Shepard's dog tags could be considered circumstantial support: not proof, since there are other ways to get them no doubt, but something that offers credibility to the claim.shodiswe wrote...
Anyway... The Asari might not even know who the mother was... Then one day some mercs rushed in and killed the guardian of the child and in her dyng breath revealed that she might be a child of Shepard.. At least that's what the guardian claimed before dying, with no further proof and no idea of who the mother was.
The young Asari is then "inspired" by this claim, true or not, didn't even know her mother... But join a military, trains hard, seeks further challenges, might even apply for the alliance N7 since that feelt like a natural way of "exploring" her herritage..
Even then: if you avoid establishing that she's Liara daughter, but leave it open to interpretation, you leave the fans toThe fact that it doesn't have to be true makes it interesting. It should also be impossible to prove unless you got a Liara romance flag in an imported game.
It'd amuse me, but bug some to no end (hence my amusement) if the Shepalyst said some variation of 'I can't prove or disprove it either.'It also depends if control is used in the next game, then some semblance of Shepards memories would still be around... Even if it might not be that easy to get the citadels attention.
This is the funniest, and my favorite, disagreement in the thread.Ieldra2 wrote...
This is my first reaction to the idea:
Note that this is a purely emotional, knee-jerk reaction. In-world, I see it could be plausible, but I hate the idea as a story hook. You did ask how people *feel* about it.
That was the intent about the 'tell her to get over it' resolution: it's not simply discouraging her from identifying with Shepard, but making just that point. Being Shepard's child (or not) wouldn't make her special: being special in her own right would, and to do that she should leave behind the baggage of assoication.(some time later):
The reason why I hate it is this plot is built on the human intuition that whose child you are is somehow intrinsically important, that being the child of someone special makes you special, too. The appropriate reaction to such a revelation should be "so what?"
