Wow, people are still fishing with those stupid referral links?

The guy has done the same thing in other threads, like york said, don't pay him any mind.

Consider the reason she did become a Justicar is because her family was torn apart rather tragically. She felt is was necessary to atone for the monster she created, and felt it was her own fault. Now that she has closure for the first time she understandably needs time to put it all in perspective. That is the main reason I think she denied Shep, not because she has lost interest in love, after all she still loved Morinth deep inside. Had we been able to romance her it would have substantially hindered her portrayal in this game. But the thing is it seems they only planted a seed for a romance and left it at that. With Tali/Garrus you could tell they were young ambitious people that had so much more fleshing out to do. Which made it appropriate for them to come back as romance options. At this point I don't know where Samara's character development can go. She's truly at peace.

...weren't mature enough(too horny) to let it go in the first place.

Probably wrong of me to feel mildly offended by this, maybe because whenever I'm writing or playing, my Shepard isn't driven by lust. Having developed her more as a character by now; very difficult for her to show emotion and feel love for another. But she fell for Samara, and fell hard.

Maybe it's a personal fault for being young :<

Sry, hun, there is nothing wrong with being youngI didn't mean to imply that there was. I was in a bit of a hurry when I typed that I thought she did express her affection for the properly played character(paragon or paragade). But,I guess it does come down to a matter of preception.

This is a special type or romance one I think B/A actually did very well. If she is in the next installment of the story I don't see where B/A has to change anything with the char to allow for a furthering of your relationship with her.(not that I want that) My only request is that they make anyone who pushed it with her pay. Meaning you shouldn't get more than friendship out of her if you weren't mature enough(too horny) to let it go in the first place.

Like volly0071, I see Shepard's relationship with Samara as a romance, even if both decided to treat it as a friendship. Samara's duality (duty versus emotions) lends itself very easily to a complex relationship. I always smile as I picture Shepard toeing the line between friendship and romance; friendliness with flirtiness... as a secretely amused (and flattered) Samara politely acknowleges Shepard's affection without ever giving in (but allowing herself to biotically "blush" when Shepard touches her heart).

We have a human conception of intimacy, which differs from the asari notion. Human couples share intimacy through touch, undressing to make love, etc... Asari become intimate by touching eachothers minds, which really doesn't require undressing eachother. Perhaps Samara draws strength from the affection she can feel emanating/radiating from Shepard. She is content to bask in this affection, which probably feel as intimate to her as a lingering caress.

Well said, I was planning on typing up something similar . The ground work for future development this definitely there. I just hope they follow through with it, bc as things stand Samara is my greatest incentive to play the next game.

*looks at the above posts* I feel greatly outclassed...



Even if I made the point that my Shep isn't one to just jump into bed (intimate, letting someone get that close etc) it's a moot point for how you just described Human and Asari ideas of intimacy. Damnit o_o'



I hope you never lose your ability to make such brilliant posts.

Thanks to you I've began to notice and appreciate the "biotic blush" a lot more, its adorable lol. I love it when she does that especially when smiling. Its an integral part of Samara's body language, comparable to her eye movements.

Justicars are toilet-trained.

Just saying... look at her face.

The Asari poop eezo.  Everyone's putting poop in their rocketship gas tanks.

So... she is pooping a singularity.

*blinks* I can't believe you guys did that. I wonder how many of us would still be alive if our beloved character could see this XD
