I have a question. If there were a scientific development that removed the ability of AY to mate at all, would you support that for Samara's daughters?

To explain further, if a type of operation came out that prevented AY from mind melding at all and thus making them safe for the public, would you all support that?

Personally, I feel like the ability to mate is a small price to pay for basic freedoms. Better to be able to have relationships with people and not be able to have sex with them than to never have that chance.

As the Codex describes it, such a medical discovery would only do away with the execution lists. A-Y would still suffer from stunted empathy and emotional growth and be handled the same way they are now:
1) live a legit life working in monitored work programs (essentially institutionalized but outside, presumably benefiting from counselling) or,
2) live semi-legally on the fringes of asari society, commonly cultivating serial abusive relationships (free but miserable).

I'm writing a fanfic right now that takes place about 20 years after ME3, it's just a short story of the crew reminescing at a get together.  One of the elements I plan to use is that Samara's daughters were finally freed of their condition using technologies that were derived, of all things, from Reaper indoctrination tech.

Indoctrination, however it works, is clearly something that affects psychological and neurological processes.  By understanding that tech, it's very possible that a treatment could be derived that would neutralize the narcotic effect an A-Y gets from killing during sex.  In my fanfic, the treatment does not reverse an AY's natural sterility, but it does allow them live normal lives and have normal romantic relationships.  It makes a nice plot point for Shepard in my fanfic, because it shows him something good that came from all that war and death, and it's a burden off Samara's shoulders...Samara feels that, at last, it's OK for her to show her feelings and deal with them.

The scientists logs on the Reaper IFF mission mentions something about Reaper tech being based on nanotechnology.  An understanding of Reaper nanotech could bring incredible advances that have nothing to do with indoctrination or warfare.

Bad news for us Samara fans, for ME3. We know that Samara's not a squadmate, at least.

Source? Link?

If you do PM the link, please include me D8

Well... It did feel a bit lonely in here but you're all back and it's getting livelier

I know about the upcoming/already leaked Gameinformer article, so I guess I'll just be patient and wait for Google to track the info. Might even actually go out and buy that one...

I think the Gameinformer article only confirms certain squadmates while mentioning the possibility of some others. The lack of Samara's name in either list I don't think confirms she then not a squadmate, however. Just that Gameinformer didn't see her.

It gives a list of characters that Bioware says will be returning as squadmates, for ME3, and a list of characters that the GameInformer team saw (cameos, I'm guessing), in the build of ME3 that they played.

I'm just saying I don't think either list is particularly all inclusive. Doesn't seem BioWare's style to announce all possible squadmates up front like that.

I'm in Jordan right now, not sure if I can get GameInformer here D:

We don't know that for a fact, yet.  This is only preliminary info.

[DirtyVagrant]

It's still early, so I'm not resigned about her involvement just yet, Samara isn't the only character to not be mentioned remember.

I just leached some leaked gameplay video of ME3.  It looks like Samara will only be making a cameo appearance in ME3, but if you tried to romance her ME2, then you get a romantic cutscene.

Here's a screenshot of the cutscene:

Haha man, that's great.

Seriously, that smile was terrible.

OH NOOO !!! IT CAME BACK!!! *Readies the nuke, it's the only way to be sure*

[Flamewielder]

It's nice they at least brought Garrus back as a squaddie. Still, I'm hopeful for Samara as a single-mission temp squaddie on Thessia.
