Asari lives to be 1000+ years right? well assuming humans on average live to 100 in the future. A 100 year old Asari is roughly a 10 year old human in terms of age equivalence, how does mental maturity factor into this?

When we first meet Liara in ME1 she's 106, "barely more thana  child" in her words. She's physically mature, mentally mature enough to have been studying protheans for 50 years. She's done field research, published papers, etc. But... she complains that no one takes her work seriously because she's so young. To me this adds up to someone being fresh out of university, without much life experience, shown by the apparent difficulty she has in interacting with other people.

Well the codex says a fairly well off human (not a colonist digging the dirt) can expect to live to 150, and we can assume quality of life would be better and its not just another 70 extra years (from current world average) of sitting in a chair dribbling, though this is never really elaborated on as most human characters you see conform to contemporary age stereotypes, and 150 could be a theoretical age humans born in 2183 could reach (before the reapers anyway).

 

Asari lifecycle is covered in the codex, but Tsoni is considered immature by Asari standards at 106 me1, Though I believe sexual maturity happens within the first 30 years at the latest. (I think this is implied in the Ardat Yakshi background, as that was when Samara found out about her children's problems). Though its said that an Asari can act above or bellow expectations of their age if they want to.

 

Basically the first 350 years are their "student days"  Then a middle age till they are about 700 then the "Matriarch" stage where they are all old and wise, though some end up tending bars as there are only so many positions for the old and wise to fill.

On Ilium we hear that an Asari is only 60 something so, "of course [she] is still living with her parents." Morinth was also considered to be very young when she ran away.

 

I think as far as birth through the maiden stage is concerned I think the Asari develope slower but similarly to humans. Afterwards, I have no idea.

Asari reach adulthood sometime between 40 and 60 years old.

 

On Illium we overhear an Asari saying she is 60 years old and finally out from under her parents roof, and Samara tells Shepard that Morinth left home in her 40s. Additionally Liara is 106 years old when Shepard first meets her and she states that she had been working as an archaeologist for 50 years. That would put Liara at 56 at the time she began her career. 

 

The dialogue from the Asari on Illium might imply that she had been living under her mother's roof for a bit longer than usual, since IIRC she says she is 'finally' out on her own. Samara's dialogue also seems to imply that Morinth might have ran off at an age that was younger than average. It is possible that Morinth was the equivalent of a teenaged runaway.

 

So I think the best guess is that probably aroung 50 years or so is the average for an Asari becoming an independent adult, that Morinth left home younger than usual, and the Illium Asari left home a bit later than usual.

Morinth is likely not an example of the average Asari

This is why Asaris should only bond with other Asaris or Krogans. Lol, and they say nothing about Turians....

Liara's also got a half-sister who's part hanar. Aethyta really enjoyed her maiden stage.

It's just no fun until somebody brings a tentacled monster in.

I never listened to the conversation completely. I had to read a script just to figure that out just now! It's a possibility that she may have a step sister! Didn't her parents have it out when the truth about the Genophage was out?

Aethyta's parents did, yeah.

I never really understood that dialogue....forcing me to listen to it 10 more times....

I think it was they fought on opposite sides during the krogan rebellions, so when the truth about the genophage came out, old hatreds built up in dad again.
