 Screw mixing with other species. 

Also I hope in ME4 there isn't much stigma for being a pureblood, because that never made any goddamn sense to me.

Well, discrimination based on skin colour doesn't make any sense either and still it exists. Prejudice in general has very little to do with logic.

Also I don't really see how playing an Asari pureblood would be any different from playing a mixed Asari.

Yeah, but if they had to discriminate against who an Asari reproduced with you'd think they would be more discrimatory towards the Asari who actually mixed with the other species. Considering them traitors or whatever.

Because I wanna play a racist Asari supremacist! Not really, but still.

It is quite possible that such era in asari society existed during first contacts with salarians but now are purebloods minority so public opinion shifted.

Purebloods are inbreds... why on thessia would you want that?

You might want to have another look at ME2 because there's a bit of lore regarding inbred asari purebloods and their tendency to become space vampires.

The only difference is that maybe some other Asari NPCs would discriminate against the player character. But for the most part I don't think it the pureblood status would matter much. It didn't seem to hold either Samara or Liara back.

So I agree with you that if the next game went the DA:I route, I don't think there is a big difference between a pureblood or mixed background for an Asari character.

I think problem is that pureblodd asari looks exactly same like mixed asari.

There would be very limited situation when this feature would matter because discriminant NPC have to personally know player or has access to his data.

Don't see how it'd be different, heck most Saarinen wouldn't know unless you announce it. Also, didn't the stigma come from the possibly of Ardat Yakshi birth, although most young asari don't know it I suppose it is pretty stupid

[mhmbaSR1]

yeah I agree the stigma never made sense to me either. I mean the entire asari population was made up of purebloods for several millennia, so its not like you can say that any asari today isn't descended from a pureblood. of course that's like people discriminating based on ethnicity and not realizing that we all evolved from the same prehistoric bipedal species in Africa....so maybe the asari pureblood stigma is valid, in a sick sort of way

and I wonder how inbred the asari would have to be to produce ardat yakshi? I am assuming that is what causes it. I would also assume that since the asari populous is getting less and less 'pureblood' that wouldn't ardat yakshi be pretty much extinct?

If that means I can destroy people via brain overload with a 100% insta kill no cool down even if I must stay single for the whole game I'd play as a pure Asari. The only downside is I'd have to get in their face for me to use my power so she'd probably be a space rouge class.

See before we got to ME3 and my theory was proven wrong I thought the Asari could've started with both sexes the Reapers or the Protheans came through changed their DNA and made it so the Asari were now fem only and wanted to breed with aliens in the case of prothean tampering this would be used to give Asari children and their non-asari lover immunity to the reaper signal. In the case of reaper tampering the species was used as sleeper agents injecting the cells into their children and creating the conditions for their non asari lovers to respond to the signals and become instant thralls. Pure breeds however would negate this gene so they were neutral like Liara or they could go the other way and become space vampires this was a deliberate gene mod on the species because depending on which side reworked their code the Asari were made to spread good or evil in the galaxy creating a issue or stigma with the pure child would be a deterrent.

They nearly are mhmbaSR1.

Given how the A-Y deal has seemingly been soft-retconned between ME2 and ME3 though (Oh those 3 that existed? It was actually a coverup and at least dozens exist), I can see us learning that A-Y were in fact a whole TYPE of Asari, a war waged (or something), and it lead to pursuing spaceflight ASAP compared to other species, in search of those other species, and them discovering the Citadel.

Anyway, to OP, I can see playing an Asari and in 'history' placing yourself as Pureblood and getting the rare to occasional, if maybe non-consequential, outcome of being one.

[We'll bang okay]

maybe if we do get to play as the asari we could pick what race was the farther and what ever one was it would be a boost of some sort like picking krogan would boost health and strength
