Some peoples logic:

A whole bunch of non-human sentinent species that look humanoid, have human like emotions (with expressive facial features like eyes to boot) and act entirely human? Well that makes perfect sense I guess.

But them being attracted to humans? Whao, that's were it crosses the line into being unrealistic.

I mean, seriously? :rolleyes:

 

The unlikeliness of the first is already so jarring to me that at this point I can accept the latter without any further suspension of disbelief.

Now if the other sentinent species were all some sort of giantic spiders with two heads and wings or intelligent worm-like beings that lay eggs into eye sockets of unsuspecting animals, then having sex with them would be the most unrealistic part.

The people who do this must hate humans so much that they seem so forget asari are the most desirable species in the galaxy and asari are just blue humans with funny head caps. Krogan, turians, salarians, humans, drell, vorcha, elcor, volus, hanar all like asari. But humans, watchyotalkinbout humans are hairless apes. The asari are not mind tricking anyone so bw just wants us to acknowledge that all sentient species think the asari are the ideal sex symbol and that makes any species that looks like them close to the ideal.

 

What about personality?

Thing about the asari is that they are actually covered in scales. Not sure how many people would find that attractive.

They are also blue to purple. Ya know how our fellow humans can be so intolerant of skin color. At least humans have skin color ranges that are earth toned like beige, tawny, or ebony which is closer to turian, salarian, or krogan color.

 

TBH a turian would go for something that looked more like this

than this

All are knowledge of relationships comes from Earth and until proved otherwise will need to serve as a basis for comparison.

 

Regarding phisical attraction.

1.All land animals I know of have the same style sex organs for male and femals with size being the main difference and since the LI's in ME are right about the same size as a human they shouldn't be so different as to be uncomfortable or impossible.

2.Bestiality is a thing here on Earth so getting conset before hand shouldn't be a turn off to those people.

3.There is no reason biologicaly for men to be attaracted to men or for women to be attaracted to women but it does happen and their love is still just as valid as a hetro's and their is nothing wrong with that.

 

All that aside outside of Asari interspcies relationships seem to be a rare thing and mostly taken by Quarins on pilgramige since there are so few Quarins across the galaxy and even then they don't get phisical often.

 

Shepard is also a special case as the time he/she spends with aliens is often in a cramped ship under extreme stress with life and death depending on those around them so this may help to both further the emotnial connection but also soften the edge of an alien apperence as they become less turian, drell, quarian, or asari and more Garrus, Thane, Tali, or Liara.

 

Personally though I do think about the species when I start a romance chain depending on my playthrough and what that Shep wants.  I usually play a male and when I go paragon with hope for the future I am looking for a family down the road which limit him to Ashley, Liara, Jack, and Kelly.  But if I'm not looking that far forward then I do tend to lean towards Liara in 1 and Tali in 2 and 3.

Depends which cultural background you come from. I would say more but I could imagine a lot of offended members of the 13 colonies posting, so I'll leave it.

Just my opinion, but including some of the more alien of the aliens (Krogan, Salarians, Elcor, ect) as LIs almost strays into brony territory. The WTF factor would be over 9000. Writing and dialogue only goes so far.

 

I'd rather keep full frontal quad relegated to the dark corners of the internet than to have it end up in a Mass Effect game. The alternative would just waste a slot for a potential LI. 

 

For most players if the two options for their gender/sexual preference are say a Krogan and a human, they've only got one choice. The vast majority of people aren't going to be interested in seeing their character in romance scenes with a battletoad.

 

Although it would be unintentionally hilarious...I will give it that.

Everyone who has ever touched a snake and knows how smooth and generally nice to the touch small, fine scales are? :P

So...

I thought they were the cutest thing and its was sad what happened in ME3.

I don't want to have it as a romance option, but that blue 'hairless ape' had a krogan chasing after her. And not but a few corridors down another blue 'hairless ape' had a human, turian and salarian slippin credits in her g-string.

 

I think the entire alien population of Ilium, Omega and the Citadel would cream its collective pantaloons if Aishwarya Rai graced its halls or balls or whatever.

I don't mind it being portrayed between NPCs, I just wouldn't want resources devoted to making a Krogan a LI for the player character. We could do without (IMO) seeing characters making out with a battletoad.

Meh, it would probably still be less creepy than the ME2 Jack-romance.

Okay. I wouldn't want to see a krogan romance either TBH, nor a vorcha, salarian, volus, hanar, and for Gods sake no elcor. But making derogatory statements about a human's attractiveness, particularly when it always seems to be aimed at femshep and her relationships (like that's her only value) or women in general, in a galaxy that falls on its knees for asari is a bit silly IMO.

I wasn't singling out Fem Shep or women with that hairless ape comment. I was describing all humans that way, because that is actually what we are. Our species is one of the great apes along with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.

 

The average Turian would probably think humans look like some weird animal.

Really? And what about asari? You think turians should be losing their sh*t for asari. I think I counted 5 instances where a turian was losing his mind over an asari, but here is a couple.

 

 

 

You think turians are so blind that they wouldn't think..."Hey, ya know what that human looks like an asari, but with hair-like stuff on her head and different skin colors, in fact, that human looks like a quarian too. Look at those funny bumps on her chest and rear. Why do they all have that? What's it for?"

 

...as opposed to...

 

"Gross a hairless pyjak. That thing can't be sentient. It must be some weird animal".

 

Whateva! Turians have been exposed to a greater variety of alien species than humans have for a much longer time period. I doubt they are so limited and discriminatory as to be attracted to asari, and think humans are 'weird animals'. I'm sure they realize how they must look weird to asari and humans. Doesn't stop them from getting close to other species who they find attractive if not physically in other less physical ways.

Humans are kind of "forbidden" because Turians were at war with humans just a while ago so they might not dare to tell everybody that they find humans attractive.

You speak nonsense! Anyone can see that a human is but a weird animal. A hairless pyjak that just happens to have hair. Not one thing is physically attractive about them. Poor Aishwarya is crying now!

Let me add this:

 

I have seen arguments that krogan and salarians go with asari because they could not successfully breed with their own species, and so there is no attraction. Okay. I'll accept that.

 

That does not explain turians and asari. Really it's just that bw is limited in their scope on how to design a very alien female. If we had turian females from day one there would only be turian-turian relationships. And no asari is going to push in on that relationship. A turian female would snap her neck with one hand or talon or whatever.

 

But now I am also convinced that bw wants us to believe that asari are without a doubt and without any mind control the most desired species in the galaxy. Turians are all over them at the strip clubs and they are in all the porno magazines and video games.  

 

That alone should suffice as proof that anything resembling an asari, like humans and quarians, should be pretty hot stuff in the galaxy.

I usually play the romances in a way that the LI is the one for my PC. That's why I don't think about how they couldn't be compatible but instead of how they can be compatible. My Shepard loves Garrus and I haven't seen any evidence that Garrus wouldn't feel the same way about her. On the contrary.

 

I understand your examples and that love can't solve all the problems or issues in real life but when I play games I want to experience the love of the lifetime romance where the couple will be together forever or you as a player can achieve that if you want to and I think it's important to give that possibility to players. 

 

Oh, I completely agree... It's not something I wanna overthink in the game either. It's there to provide a happy contrast to other things and I prefer it as such. :)

They can definitely be viewed as good relationships...imo. I only pause at whether they're good (or even practical) physical relationships.

Didn't Allers said something about turians fan giving her the creepiest fanmails? 

Besides, one can love someone even without having sex with them. I mean, love is universal. Right?

 

I don't think Hawke and Sebastian's love for each other is less a form of love just because they don't have a sex scene in game. Even Tali exposed herself to higher probability of infection and autoimmune reaction by making out with Shepard and yet ppl don't seem to care about that.

 

But it depends on your level of suspension of disbelief and then again, people have sexual fetish to a lot of things IRL. Let us just let this go...
