The reason I want the Asari there is because they were the first specie to master the Mass Relays and build a galactic government and I believe they are the main voice for the council with the strongest influnce I also want to learn more about there history I think all the council race should be in Mass Effect 4 for the game to flow from 3 to 4.

Regarding the Asari been sexual
I believe there ability to meld with other people can be used sexual but not always in Mass Effect 1 liara helps Shepard cipher the Prothen information by passing on her knowledge on as a Prothern expert I don't believe this was meant to be sexual.In Mass Effect 3 Liara shows Shepard a image that she call a gift she show her black background with a white light is this Liara way of showing Shepard death so she doesn't fear it.So yes they can use it in a sexual way but also a way of passing on knowledge

Regarding Morinth she used her look to trap her next target but in her mind she had no intention of having sex with them she enjoys the kill itself she explains how a Krogan thought she was going to give him a child.which she had no intention of doing

The Asari dancers
They have a long life span and suppose them going through the dancing stage is there way of filling in time in mass effect 2 during the loyal mission for Samara a turian is coming on a bit strong to a dancer and the Asari dancer try's and tell him she doesn't do that sort of thing but not all of them do this some them work in main stream jobs.

The Asari go through diffrent life stage
The Maiden stage begins at puberty and is marked by the drive to explore and experience. Most young asari are curious and restless, and it is not uncommon for many to try their hand at dancing in bars or working as mercenaries during this time.

The Matron stage of life begins around the age of 350, though it can be triggered earlier if the individual melds frequently. This period is marked by a desire to settle in one area and raise children.

The Matriarch stage begins around 700 years of age, or earlier if the individual melds rarely. Matriarchs become active in their community as sages and councilors, dispensing wisdom from centuries of experience. Their knowledge and guidance may be one reason why Matriarchs are rarely seen outside asari space.

Instead of continuing what I consider pretty pointless discussion, I'll just post this here.

Thank you and goodnight! Stay frosty.

[ZipZap2000]

No Asari = Pre-order cancelled. Bioware will not be honoured in the coming empire.

 

 

 

Of course there will be Asari!!

[Qwib Qwib]

Nooo! Who else will be there to dance at the night clubs?! Apart from female Elcor

[PunMaster]

I'm impartial to the Asari, I neither like or dislike them so maybe give them a less prominent role in the next Mass Effect?

 

I'm more burned the Quarrians might not be back, but to be fair if it wasn't for Tali I'd probably be on the "get rid of them" bandwagon, they annoyed me a fair amount in ME3.

 

But if the Asari do come back, could we have more kick ass commandos and less Asari dancers? Maybe distribute that job with the other races, maybe Krogan dancers? haha

Teh hawtness...

 

[Vazgen]

What's seen cannot be unseen 

[themikefest]

Who cares about the asari? They didn't care about the other species when it came to revealing the beacon they had hidden on their planet.

[SporkFu]

Teh hawtness...

What you need is a female krogan doing the dance of the seven veils. hubba hubba. 

[SporkFu]

But... but... they're so blue, and pretty, and... and... blue and ... nope that's all I got. 

 

But I like them anyway, and would love for them to return. They're part of the MEU and belong as much as any other species.

I'm sure they'll be in the next game. I would like someone to serve me some calamari gumbo in the game. Yes I'm giving a shout out to Mess Sergeant Rupert Gardner

[Mister J]

Hmmm, what if a future ME scenario revolves around some bio-chemical weapon that is capable of wiping out an entire race, and not-Shepard can safe all races but one: he will then have to choose which race not to safe?

 

Me, I would kiss the Turians goodbye...

[Livi14]

This would make any future Mass Effect games impossible because everyone could be dead. It would be like the suicide mission in ME2, only worse

[Mister J]

Yeah I know...

 

Besides I'm no fan of mandatory character deaths...

[PunMaster]

 

 

Teh hawtness...

 

 

 

Well then, I suppose at the very least, it'd boost alcohol sales with everyone walking into the club/bar seeing that wanting to drink to forget

[Arcian]

I thought I would start a petition to try and get the Asari in Mass Effect 4 please reply to this thread if you also want to see the Asari in Mass Effect 4

Asari are worse than batarians at this point.

[Umbar]

Wait, there's a possibility that the Asari won't be in the game? Why? 

[T-Raks]

I don't understand this thread. Why shouldn't there be Asari?

 

BTW: with the races spread all over the galaxy, no humanoid organic race will be extinct going forward from the ME3 endings, not even the Quarian if you sided with the Geth. 

[goishen]

Well, tell me something unique about the asari that doesn't involve melding with the others (sex, generally speaking) and isn't present in other species?

 

Edit: Sorry if I come too angry, just the notion of removing the quarians and krogans is baffling for me. I agree that the asari are the most fleshed-out race in the trilogy, they are simply not appealing to me in any sense. Javik's revelations made them even less appealing for me

 

 

Biotics.

 

Liara stated in game three, that biotics were standard schooling for all children.  In ME1, we learn of one turian (can't remember his name right now for the life of me) who may, or may not, have had biotics.   We see none of this being used by other turians until ME3, and that was in multiplayer.

They are not really unique to their race. Sure, every asari possesses them, but it is not an unseen thing for any species. Also, it is due to their genetic modifications as revealed by Javik

[dgcatanisiri]

I think the asari are fascinating as a culture on paper, but in practice, in the trilogy, they were used primarily in a fanservice capacity. Most asari were in some way sexualized. Tell me, for a character like Samara, who has chosen to live her life in celibacy, what purpose is there in having that plunging neckline, especially as she enters combat like that, leaving her heart exposed? The primary design choice in their creation was that they needed to appear attractive for the purposes of being love interests. Most of the details we got about their culture in the course of the series has revolved around their sex lives and reproduction, rather than getting a deeper look at their culture - we visit the krogan homeworld and the Migrant Fleet in ME2, learn a lot about the krogan and the quarians, while Palaven is a major planet in one of the comics. But the extent of our knowledge of the asari culture comes from Liara talking about asari mating habits in 1 and Samara and the justicars in 2, with the added talk of maiden-matron-matriarch life stages in general.

 

But, back to the main part of the topic, the asari are still a major part of the ME universe, even if the writing hasn't gone as in depth with them as they probably should have, considering that there's at least one asari in the squad of every game. There's almost no way they're NOT going to appear in ME4, and I fully expect to see at least one asari squad member. But I'd love it if she weren't a romance option, without even teasing, so that the character and the culture could be explored without the baggage of it all just being a way to get her out of her pants. It'd be really nifty if they'd explore the dynamics of a member of a monogender species living amongst species with gender binaries, perhaps have her explore gender fluidity. Just... write her as a fully three dimensional character who isn't a plot device and isn't there to bang the PC, PLEASE.

[Undead Han]

I'm sure all the Council races are returning,

[Hexoduen]

I don't understand this thread. Why shouldn't there be Asari?

 

 

No clue, I'm sure we'll have both Asari, Krogan etc.

[Oni Changas]

Fock the asari. Its all theyre good for anyways. How about we make them more androgynous rather than eyecandy with sharp heads. They lack depth.

[Revan Reborn]

Asari are going to return, so I don't really see the point of this thread.

 

Honestly, I'm a bit conflicted with respect to the Asari. I found them to be rather gratuitous and one-dimensional in ME1. Liara came across as too naive, too innocent, and too gullible in ME1 that it really just bothered me the entire game. I didn't much care for Matriach Benezia either, who I thought was poorly used in the game and BioWare tried to rectify that later with context in the sequels.

 

ME2, Lair of the Shadow Broker, and ME3, Liara became one of my favorite characters. It had nothing to do with her sex appeal, but rather her character developed substantially and she went away from being the silly, clumsy archaeologist to being a character of worth and substance. I found this to be incredibly refreshing and enjoyed her story arc after that.

 

I enjoyed Samara as well, but to a much lesser extent as her duty to the Code of a Justicar really limited her character development. There were brief moments where we could see something more, but for the most part she was reserved and too far out of reach to build any strong connection or ties, unlike with Liara.

 

Of course there is also Aria who is just amazing regardless of her species.

 

Outside of those few characters, the Asari really just come across as arrogant, narrow-minded, and pampered because of their leadership status among the organics in the Milky Way. They are definitely the main means of fan service, besides humans such as ME3 Ashley, Chambers, Traynor, Miranda, Alers, and even EDI in EVA's body.

 

If you actually take away the main story and plot of the Mass Effect Trilogy, you would probably think it's some cheesy, B-rated Ecchi Harem Anime where Shepard is surrounded by beautiful women and they are all fawning over him.

 

Going forward, I'd definitely like to see a bit more substance with respect to Asari. I find the Asari commandos, Justicars, and their inherent biotic capabilities to be compelling. We should dive deeper into these aspects of their culture rather than their species being used as mainly sex symbols and tools for fan service. That's all well in good if there is just as much substance to their species as there is eye candy.
