Go for it. Ask them to elaborate further on what quarian sweat tastes like, while you're at it.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..... I'm too lazy. Somebody else do it. I really honestly don't care. As long as I can romance them it don't matter.

[The Dystopian Hound]

If this is the Asari reveal......why aren't they showing us Turians?

And what have they done to the Quarians?

Was that you I saw drop that human off that platform?

Was he on fire?

No.

Oh noes! EAWare fecked up the lore! Asari with eyebrows!

The salt. The butthurt. Stay classy BSN!

 

OT: There are a multitude of explanations for as to why this Assari has eyebrows, none of which contradicts lore. Remember green Shiala? No?

[ZipZap2000]

No.

No humans, no

Well the thorian so..... but I agree. People losing their mind over stupid stuff. Yep....another day in the forums.

[The Dystopian Hound]

No humans, no

Just one but he wasn't on fire. The Krogan, friend of yours?

Except an Asari conceiving a child doesn't even require DNA of the partner. They can literally just link minds and boom, they are pregnant. At no point in that encounter is DNA transferred. So it makes no sense that the other parent's DNA would actually be part of the child, but instead the mother just uses it to alter one set of the two sets used in parthenogenesis. 

 

... or maybe all the Asari in the ME Trilogy plucked their eyebrows because of some undescribed Asari custom and after years in cryo sleep, they just grew in... you know because she wasn't awake to pluck them.  (Afterall, at one time, it was fashionable for human women to completely pluck their eyebrows and paint them back in.)

 

Wait... I've got a better idea... instead of speculating on every little petty detail, why don't we just wait for ME:A to be released and see what Bioware's explanation is?

You don't age in stasis, meaning hair wouldn't grow. Otherwise there is no point in being in stasis. 

[Deathangel008]

its kinda amusing to see that some peoples biggest concern about ME:A seem to be asari eyebrows.

 

BSN. BSN never changes.

[Puddi III]

They grow eyebrows when they go Super Asari 3.

You aren't seriously entertaining the idea that they should explain eyebrows in an interview at some point?

I wanna know why she's a funny colour and manly first. Also the head crest.

Well, then maybe it just became unfashionable to pluck them in Andromeda.

 

The point really is, it's a petty detail; and if some animator just decided to make the Asari in Andromeda look a little different than the ones in the ME Trilogy... that's their prerogative as an artist.  Changes happen all the time when a series gets revived years after the first installment.

It certainly wouldn't break my heart if they didn't.  Really, the "fans" shouldn't require an explanation on any of it, IMO.  If Bioware wants to totally depart with their own fictitious lore to make a completely new story and still call it Mass Effect even if it's nothing like the original... I'm OK with that.  I'll still judge the game on it's own merits after it's released.  Whether or not the Asari have eyebrows isn't going to change how much fun the game is going to be, IMO.

[ZipZap2000]

Anyone seen that tweet from the IGN chick.

"Its cute how the Asari have their own hamburglar."

Worry about that bit.

[Remix-General Aetius]

Either that, or they just gave away, in an E3 trailer, this character's story twist that she is actually a human who's been surgically modified to look like an asari.

 

Actually "she" looks more like a man.

I'd give you a like but I'm over my daily limit again. Thanks for the reasonable response.

The good old days where lore was a thing...and fictional universes were taken seriously and each change required a lenghty explanation and a great story to be told in ordr to justify those changes.....ehh those were the days. Now instead we prefer to call this new lazy approach "artistic freedom" and change midway established lore and races because it's "cool"

[Robert Cousland]

Dreadnoughts cant enter the atmosphere of planets, Asari dont have eyebrows, and female Turians dont have breasts.

 

Remember your own lore, Bioware.

[BadgerladDK]

This thread is a great reminder of why, if I had mod powers for a day, I'd add the word "lore" to the word filter. Just to watch the BSN burn.

 

Not that I don't care about the story and background details, but seriously... We now have two eyebrow-related threads on the front page.

Again I'm out of likes.

[Mdizzletr0n]

How dare Bioware ignore their own lore! Why ever would they start doing that all of the sudden? Out of the...uh...blue?

Humans have five fingers, we breath oxygen and have naturally eyebrows. Minor things and yet they are part of the LORE of our universe.

It has always been called artistic freedom.  What are you going to do if any artist doesn't give you a lengthy explanation of their own work... nothing you can do because there is nothing that says they have to explain it to you.  Did Leonardo DaVinci ever explain the smile on the Mona Lisa?  I think not.  When it comes to a creative work, in the end all you can do is decide for yourself whether or not you like it.
