Half serious theory that makes sense.

Protheans modified Asari, right?

We need tech to build Ark.

Find Prothean blue print.

Discover Protheans are remnants and took unmodified Asari to Andromeda.

Her face paint is tribal. Primitive.

She's a local.

Not serious but I like telling stories.

*Sips Ryncol*

god I hope this is true think about the nerd rage!!!!!

it is a liability in that if the council got wind of it you know they would pitch a damn fit. For the most part why take along races for which humanity has rarely been involved in? I mean we are talking about a strictly human POV here, but being part of the intergalactic community is rather new for them. They are likely leaving before the reapers so many races don't even believe in the reapers. I could see humanity pissed about that still. All in all it seems rather unlikely to take many alien species along for the ride anyhow. So if they do it would have to be only a small amount that have "earned" a place imo. It really just seems like more of a liability though. I mean if you only take humans you don't have to worry about alien biology or alternative needs.

But I suppose if the council did help with this whole thing then sure bring aliens along, but then again if they did why are humans leading it? No way that Asari have allowed that lol.

Wait are you thinking that the other species have small rapresentatives in Andromeda? I doubt it'd be something like that. 

I don't think that only humans are going to Andromeda with colonization purpose. The leak shown that other species are here for colonization reasons as well. MEA will just focus on humanity's colonization project. 

It'd make zero sense for the expediction to the human only and to have just small rapresentatives of the other races, who'd leave everything behind with the no hope for restarting their species there.

No I don't think that's likely, but I still don't see why the other reasons conveniently have their own project and ships that are exactly like the human ones either. That doesn't make any sense. The only government who really believed in the reapers was the humans. If we are leaving before the reapers show up it seems pretty unlikely the other races would be part of this colonization project. Someone HAS to be leading it. Otherwise you would have all the races bickering and fighting with each other and I doubt they would have chosen humanity. That would be stupid and not believable given their distrust of humans in general. So the whole thing doesn't really sound plausible anyhow.

A small population of a species is capable of reviving an entire population especially if you consider alternatives like frozen embryos or stasis clutches for Salarians.

Say what? The Alliance government didn't believe that the Reapers were coming. Most of the top politicians in the Alliance feasted on Shepard's words after his 'death', and things didn't changed after. As far as we know the only top Alliance members believing Shepard were Hackett and Anderson. If the Alliance really believed the Reapers were coming, they'd have done a better job preparing for their arrival.

Also, as we find out in Citadel the Council did believe the Reapers were real.

 

Even if revival was possible in the way you mentioned ,why would other species decide to follow through this? And again ,the leak mentioned already that the krogans have their own colony ship.

 

I'm sorry, but I don't see how your theory is in any way possible. We'll have to agree to disagree. Though I have to thank you, since your post makes me prepared about this scenario happening.

Not if you want to convey emotions to humans. We can't read other species at all - and those things evolved on earth. The only species humans get right are dogs, and that's because they've evolved to mimic our expressions by way of our selective breeding habits. But otherwise without being taught to read their very counterintuitive expressions people get it wrong all the time.

We know how to read human faces. The hardest part about designing "friendly" aliens that don't look like Lovecraftian space horrors is keeping the general expressiveness and look of the human face.

Without eyebrows - or eyebrow equivalents - it's a lot harder for a game to show an expression because the fidelity of the face just isn't there.

And the other issue here is that the graphics are better - the paintent on eyebrows won't work well if Bioware's improved the fidelity of their facial expressions.

 

Not entirely correct. If you spend some time with them, a number of species here on the planet can be read quite well, not just dogs. But I get your point and know all that. It's a bit different for the Asari though as they basically look *completely* like humans already except for a lack of hair. Conveying emotions without eyebrows was no problem at all during the trilogy for the Asari that did not have Liara's tacky painted on stripes. Yeah some of the facial tattoos had eyebrow-like parts which looked good and were unique to the race, that's fine by me. I just don't like the eyebrows much and don't think they were necessary. But whatever we'll see how it turns out ingame it's no biggie.

Yeah, it´s not like every individual automagically believes their governments to tell the truth or think they wouldn´t withhold any information. Unthinkable. Sorry, but there were individuals that did believe in Shepard, humans and aliens alike. They recognized Harbinger for what it was, a sentient alien being far more advanced than anything seen before and not a geth vessel. And there are your colonists.

Yes, Asari are supposed to be hairless, which is why they are such great swimmers.

I don't know maybe I guess, but it seemed like at least some of them seemed to care. Maybe I'm wrong there. God stop shooting holes in my theories guys! *tears*

It was either that or a nictitating membrane, like Thane, to keep debris from getting in their eyes. Eyebrows are less necessary.

Quarian sweat and now Asari eyebrows.

 

What next? Turian brain matter? Krogan digestive fluids?

Of all things that could go wrong with this game. Asari with eye brows is around my lowest.

Someone asked what Garrus smelled like. A dev confirmed he smelled like mesquite.

Alien eyelashes don't have to be hair actually....Ostriches for example have eyelashes that are made of feathers. They look just like hair, but aren't.

However, I kinda accept that the Asari's appearance depends on the perspective of the viewer. Like... you're less intimidated by them if they look familiar or harmless or sexually appealing... not really that lore breaking especially if its cosmetic.

Why would Liara paint on eyebrows just to be better at integrating herself? She barely interacted with humans before she met Shepard.

Buy some bbq sauce w/ mesquite. Waft it toward your nose. That's what Garrus's butt smells like.

Wait! What about krogan quads? What do they smell/taste like? I should create a twitter and ask that dev.

They were suppose to be permanent face markings similar to Tevos, except in Liara's case they looked conveniently like eyebrows instead of white splotches.

I like the character but not that design decision. I rather they had committed either way...by giving Liara and other Asari eyebrows, or having Liara's face markings look more like face tattoos similar to other Asari.
