T-U-R-I-A-N-S!

That is the race I want most back and one I wish to play

 

As for all asaris haters most are just jealous because of two things:

1)Everybody in MEU likes asaris and find them attractive(most of these haters are ones that wish of their fem.Shep to be "Prom Queen" in MEU and they hate when blue chick just gets on stage and steals their crown)

2)They are only primitives Javik would date(I think "Shavik" fans know why is this butthurting for them)

 

(and as someone already said,if you are gonna hate asaris for being "sexy" to males and some females and everyone in MEU universe then you should also hate all male drells for same reason)

 

Quarian idk...neither I like them much nor hate them,Tali I loved but that doesn't mean I like her people that much.I'm neutral when it comes to quarians.I liked most of krogans...they are funny.

But anyway as I said as long as turians come back then I'm more then happy.

I wouldn't say I "hate" the asari. I'd just rather they actually have some more substance than just being eye candy in the game. I'm a guy and always play a male Shepard, so I'm definitely not "jealous." As I said before, outside of Liara, Samara, and Aria, there just doesn't seem to be a lot of personality to the asari. I'd like to see that change when they return. Much like the promiscuous outfits for FemShep will not be returning, perhaps asari can be made with a bit more thought in mind? I'm all for my obligatory Twi'lek rip-off, I'd just prefer there to be more Aayla Securas than Darth Talons...

Now Liara and Samara I won't comment,simply because Liara is Leliana's case from DA series and Samara...well let's just say her "code" annoys me.But Aria...there is lot to her then simply being sexy asari chick.In fact her personality and the way she act is more like man then woman(this is mabye funny but I always thought that if male version of asari existed then Aria would be one).

Still Aria is bada$$ in my books,she is asari I liked most because she wasn't that stereotype typical asari that is diplomatic,enhances with their beauty,praising Javik,showing wisdom and wanting to embrace eternity with you...Aria is asari that goes with rule "Don't f*ck with Aria" and she lives to her word(unlike Miranada that is like "Don't mess with me" but I'm very unable to take her seriously and even less intimidating),Aria would rather shoot you and feed you to varren if you cross her then talk with you,even when she is in love she still is going towards her goal no matter what(she is something like Morrigan from DAO in here),but that doesn't mean she doesn't care for one she loves in fact she does care too much so try to mess with ones she loves and RIP to you.Plus she is woman that took over...everything!Not just Omega but also even council is in here pockets.She is not asari that bends her knees in front of anyone or anything in fact you are gonna kneel before her be it Omega,council,you,Javik or reapers even your knees are going down before her and you are going to dance by her tune like it or not...because her word is indeed only thing that does matter.I was skeptical at first when I first met her because I always thought she is just another cocky person that talks but doesn't walk by her words,but she proved me very fast that every word she said is truth and that she is indeed "Queen" wherever she goes and she won't talk she will give you one rule you must follow and if not then bullet is next,there is no talking.

So when it comes to asaris Aria is most bada$$ one and there is million of things more to Aria at least then just her clothes and looks and she is not typical one for sure and I could honestly talk a lot of what there is about Aria at least in here.Too bad she won't come back in ME4 I doubt she will be alive by time ME4 takes place.

But once again I repeat "T-U-R-I-A-N-S!" as long as my falcon birds return I'm happy and satisfied 

[MagnusVan]

Panic not! john277 as my shepards pie took care of that small thing for you and there should be a whole new batch of asari popping out anyday now

"My pleasure... it was really"

[Undead Han]

I'd be surprised if they weren't back. At the very least I'd expect to see all of the Council races return.

[Calders]

Yeah I definitely want the Asari back, I think they are one of the most varied species from: the biotic marines, to the Matriarchs, to the Ardat-Yakshi and even the dancers... I know those who wish to remove all sexy women from video games hate them but lets hope those voices aren't listened to this time.

 

I think the Krogan's are the species I would most like to see gone, they are very one dimensional 'meat heads' and whilst amusing I don't really think there is much room left for any more character development with them.  The Turian's do a much better job of being a balanced militaristic society, and are at least believable as an interstellar species.

[Rusted Cage]

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

This is something I was so hoping would be explained in greater depth during ME3 because I believe they still have secrets left to be revealed. In Mass Effect 2, Aria hints that she and her commando's used "certain skill her people like to downplay", which Shepard rightly interprets as playing dirty. Later, we see in Illium's bar that the asari dancer is able to make all the races present find her sexually attractive yet each with a different vision of how she looks. Mordin speculates that it could be a pheromone related ability but isn't sure.

 

In that same bar, Matriarch Aethyta's appearance changes after Shepard consumes the mystery drink. I was never sure whether this is because Shep is drunk, whether it is more to do with the ingredients of the drink (as I think I recall it only happening after that particular beverage) or if it is a response to something Aethyta is doing herself. Edit: I rechecked and it happens regardless of what Shep drinks. Is this a comical reference to the "beer glasses" effect, or a genuine piece of asari mystique?

 

Another thing that bothered me was Morinth's dialogue about Ardat Yakshi being the "genetic destiny of the asari." Even though her assertions are contradicted by Samara's logic about them being sterile, we can't exactly call Samara a reliable source. After all, didn't she claim there were only three Ardat Yakshi in existence, something clearly contradicted by ME 3? What with Reave acting like a vampiric ability to transfer life from victim to wielder and the reproductive process of melding with a partner, which in the case of Ardat Yakshis seems to make them stronger despite the death of the other, I almost want to believe they were intended to be space-vampires. They already have the long lifespan, but do A/Y asari live longer if they kill?7

 

Vampire space babes aside, I wouldn't mind learning a bit more on their sexually driven, neurochemical powers. It's almost as if their very nature is one of sexual predation. To analyse this in bilogical, evolutionary terms in much the same way as we have analysed krogan and turian physiology (the reason for the back up organs and exoskeleton in each race respectively), what sort of conditions or behaviours made the asari develop this way? They kind of remind me of black widow spiders. Did the proto-asari once have male members of the species but evolved beyond the need for them?

 

Interested to hear your thoughts.

[mindw0rk]

What? Asari is one of the major races in ME universe. There is no chance we wont see them in ME4. Why would you even think so?

Destruction of the Asari homeworld by a particularly violent solar flare/comet once all the Asari returned to rebuild?

Even if Thessia were destroyed the species would continue to exist. They've been exploring space longer than any other Council species, which should also mean they've colonized more worlds than most. A few of the other colonies are mentioned in the series. In fact we even visit one. (Illium)

There's also the fact that, as long as only one asari lives, the species can't die. So yeah, it's extremely unlikely for that to happen.

 

Which pleases me greatly

[taglag]

something I would like in ME4 if it is ever made, is ability to play a different race than human, also each with a different back ground story, as was done in DAO, one of the things I really liked about DAO was that you got a totally different back ground, and story at the begining, >>> Which I think was awesome!

 

  I would not mind playing as and asari, or maybe even a Quarian, or possibly a half breed, combination of two different species. As long as they actually have different beginings.

You couldn't have half-breed species in the Mass Effect universe, because wholly unrelated species cannot produce offspring. Species like lions and tigers can produce hybrids because they shared a relatively recent evolutionary ancestor. That wouldn't be the case with say..Turians and Quarians.

 

In fantasy series you can get away with things like Half-Elves either because the species share a common evolutionary ancestor (humans, elves, dwarves all evolved on the same planet) or because its a universe where magic and the supernatural exists and you don't need to worry too much about science.

I understand where you are coming from on that, but then you can't bring the dead, and frozen back to life either, I kind of figure in this future there might be a way, and it was just a thought

[Acute]

Asari are my least favorite, partly because it's obvious their first purpose is to fill the token colourful space chick trope, secondly because aliens that look too human kill realism for me. But I can't imagine they'd get rid of any of the major races, especially not asari considering how popular Liara is. 

[animedreamer]

One of the biggest problems i had in ME3 was there were no Krogans on my Squad. This is simply reprehensible. I want all the ME races to return in some form or another. Even the silly ones like the Volus and Elcor. What's the point of having next generation soft/hardware if you don't push it to include all the ideas of your make believe universe?

Just tell the Salarains how uncooperative the asari were about not revealing the beacon until the last moment so that they would make a genophage for asari that has the same effects as the genophage for the Krogan. If that doesn't work, make a genophage that has the asari only able to reproduce with their own species and not with other species

its a interesting idea but i would think you'd have to also do something about their long lifespans. The Asari aren't as oppose to scientific study as the Krogan are, so with each of them living a 1000+ years they'd likely come up with a solution eventually, hell even within a single asari lifespan, and thus kind of negate the work of the Salarians. The Krogan could have probably solved their own genophage problem had they been more inclined to reapply themselves to scientific advancement like they were prior to that uplifting. (The Krogan had nuclear level technology prior to the Salarians uplifting them.) sure they caused a nuclear winter and ruined their atmosphere but they were progressing on their own.

The salarians can always make a modified version. About their lifespan. Make a genophage for that as well.

I would like to see a in-depth crafting system still get armor ect from story line for those who want to invest time into the game.

 -Able to reverse engineer weapons/armor/biotic chips/ect and get schematic to be able to create those sets.

 -A feature were you have to level up research to be able to craft master craft sets to add a slot for extra chips or attachments and are interchangeable parts.

 -Enhancement schematics that increase a particular skill or ability or expand it even further somehow.

 -Materials needed to create those set with a system that unlocks as you progress in the exploration or scanning capabilities when on planets etc.

 

Something different for class have solider/biotic/sniper and the rest of the classes mass effect had should be able to open up those other classes to pick and chose abilities. Also if your a biotics/tech class please make the cutscenes reflect the class I shouldn't be just firing a pistol at a person when I could have blasted them with a biotics/tech instead immersion please thanks.

[Axleonex]

I'd like two things from the Asari that is a bit of a stretch.

1. Handicap their species somehow like the genophage or Quarians. The Asari are too fricken perfect, they're bodies are like cliche sci-fi goddesses. An entire long living female population that can reproduce with anyone? Preposterous. Completely unrealistic. Which brings me to point two:

2. Justify their evolution. I kinda want it so that the protheans or reapers experimented on them to make then biotics and long living, therefore creating an entire species of a "perfect" species. Above all, the entire Asari anatomy is ludicrous at this point. And although it probably wasn't due to experimentation, I would like a justification as to why they're so perfect (long life, all biotic, highly sexual, ect). Maybe a super meteor or disease hit their planet when they were young.

The Asari being biotics is likely because they evolved on an eezo-rich planet. According to the lore most forms of life on Thessia have either evolved some biotic capability, or are eezo-resistant. Given that that bit of lore, it's far more likely that the Asari evolved their biotic abilities naturally in response to the Thessian enviroment rather than through outside genetic tampering.

 

Also the Protheans are far too 'young' to have guided Asari evolution. 50,000 years is the blink of an eye in evolutionary terms. Anatomically modern humans have been around for about 200,000 years.

[Mister J]

^^ That's pretty similar to my 'squid Frankenstein' idea.

[Gothfather]

I don't understand the purpose of this thread.

 

The Asari never had a race threatening choice in ME trilogy only 4 races did, the Geth, Krogan, Quarians and the Rachni. So exactly how do people think or fear that the Asari wont be back?

 

The developers likely don't want a "perfect" ending to their Me3 cannon universe. If everything goes back to the status quo, after the reapers then the universe doesn't "feel" like it went through a crisis, but if the MEU suffered a loss during the Reaper crisis then it has more impact. The universe will "feel" more alive because it is changing in major ways.

 

I hope that they do wipe out 2 or more races from the series not because i want anyone to feel bad but i want a sense of loss from the reaper crisis to impact the future of the franchise. I'd like to see a destroy ending so the geth are no more, and lose either the Quarians or the krogan as well. Its not because I hate either of them but because i like them both so their loss would feel like the universe suffered a great tragedy because of the reapers. If everything goes back to the status quo then the reaper threat will feel pretty pointless, at least to me.

 

I no longer need to feel a sense of agency with Shepard. I have played that story it is over I no longer need to feel that "I" shaped every aspect of the response to the reaper crisis. Now I want a universe that is scared and changed by the reaper crisis, it is more important to me that the universe is fundamentally altered than we get to keep all our favourite races. Let the reaper crisis really be a crisis from which not everyone is saved, let the scares shape the franchise for the better.
