I don't think the Asari age like humans do.  As we get older, our cells can't replicate themselves well, and eventually, at all.  That's why we shrink, our skin loses elasticity, our hair loses its color, we grow slow in mind and body, etc. 

Asari, on the other hand, have evolved in such a way that their cells don't lose their ability to replicate themselves in any significant and detrimental way.  I think that the oldest Asari would probably look very similar, appearance-wise, to a Maiden or Matron.  Basically, it's as if they stop aging, or close to it.  Of course, they die of old age eventually, but it takes a very long time for the proverbial hourglass to empty.   Chalk one up for the Mary-Sue-accusers.

Krogan probably live so long for a different reason.  Their robust cellular regenerative abilities can fight the effects of aging, until it simply becomes too much, and they then pass on.  Like lighting them on fire, the damage is too much for the healing to take care of.

The only two examples of matriarchs shown certainly suggest their appearance changes only lightly as they age (i.e. Benezia and Aethyta look like they're in their mid 40's). But I was more referring to the huge difference in psychological maturity between a Shepard in his/her early 30's and a human in their mid-80's (or an asari in her 7th to 8th century).

Liara is a maiden, still exploring romantically as human teens do. She fell for Shepard but may discover that this was not really what she was looking for. Samara, on the other hand, has been around this particular topic several times (3 of which resulted in children). Samara's outlook on romantic involvement must differ quite a bit from Liara's. Perhaps she feels it unfair to let Shepard pursue a relationship she feels would never work (even if the code allows it).

Damnit! I wanted to jump in on this, but my hands won't allow it today

I am compelled to kill the perverted. If a Justicar is involved, abstinence is an afterthought- Samara

What would you all write as a final conversation after the attempted romance? It seems it ends on a bit of a sour note. If you could have one more conversation with Samara in ME2 after "in another time...another life", what would you/she say?

[Ashira Shepard]

A difficult question, for me anyway I'm sure. Try to somehow smooth things over. Considering we're going along the in-game script. Basically apologizing. 

I'm personally torn between feeling guilty and longing - want it to happen but then some views brought up in the thread make me feel bad about it

Bah says I! Bah!

Twitter is an unjust force disrupting the very nature of Asari communication. Had I not sworn to complete my mission with Shepard, it would have been utterly demolished by my hand alone.

Holy sh-! I knew she would pop up at some point!

I don't see why wanting a relationship with her is bad, now pushing for it determindly after she tells you to back off... now that's bad.  Given the dialogue in the game, I would think an apology would be a good place to start as well as not pushing the issue.

Can you teach me how to fly?

How old are you exactly?

How do you hold those red bands on your head?

...can you mind meld with TWO people?

lol this is a funny expression

This one is amused by the mockery on her face.
Shepard was a hair's breadth away from a shattered ribcage.

You know I don't really get that, my first thought was just to die of laughter.  To me it was extremely funny and would probably incite my character to sit down and share a more ribald story than she might have formerly ever thought about sharing with Samara.

Given the context, I definately wouldn't have taken it as any more than a brush off that was meant to keep things light between you.  I never really took Shepard's question as really seriously meant, but maybe that's just my way of looking at it.  I might be wrong.

[Ashira Shepard]

*facepalm at JD* You know, I almost thought you were seriously doing that.



Would it come off as terrible if the dialogue had been written better?

I can't tell if Ecael is a very bored Bioware employee or someone who has a lot of copies of Bioware games.



Plus you think they could use a cuter avatar pic, guh!

@DirtyVagrant What's wrong with it? o_o''

Strangely, I'm suddenly all for humoring the "character" users. =P

I think its a half jokey, half serious comment by Shepard. Remember the thing about Asari promiscuity, males of any species can't resist the Asari. But I think even renegade Shepard didn't expect her to say yes...

"Only one round left, Samara... we'll have to make it count."
"We will, Shepard... Suppressive fire on three. One, two..."


Soul mates do not waste time looking at eachother... They rather look to their common goal.

[AKFTF]

I'm in agreement with most here regarding a final dialogue with Samara. I would ask for her forgiveness and tell her that my friendship with her was more important (while hoping that with time...maybe...she might be willing to enter a relationship with me.) I can dream right?



Oh Kudara, I finished reading what you've done with your fanfic. I enjoyed it! I was really anticipating the meeting between Shepard and Liara. I feel for her. I had a question: you know the chapter where Shepard has her brain examined? Did you know all of that info about the brain off the top of your head or did you do research on it? I really enjoyed that chapter (I love biology).

[7Makaveli]

I think there would be a neutral and paragon path to a supposed "final conversation". With the neutral path not really resolving anything but keeping things less awkward. While a paragon path confronts the issue head on with Shepard saying he can't suppress his feelings but understands the mission comes first. Either way though it won't progress to a romance option, just acknowledge a connection, and perhaps creak the door more open for something real special to happen
