Aria is a drama queen, or should I say, "Queen, if you're feeling dramatic."



I mean, the entire galaxy knows Shep stopped Sovereign, and she thinks you'll be impressed that she beat up a few krogan?

Let's be honest here, I feel like the same Commander Shepherd who has almost single handedly thwarted the Reaper plan for galactic decimation which has been successful for countless millions of years can easily do away with one Asari commando.  Besides, Wrex fought her to a stand still once before, and I blew his brains away quickly enough in ME1.

You're confusing main character powers and gameplay mechanics for actual story effectiveness. Shepard is indeed one of the finest warriors in the galaxy, but Aria no doubt ranks up there, too. She's the "queen" of the most wretched hive of scum and villainy in the galaxy, and has been for several centuries. She didn't even take over Omega through pure subterfuge. She took it by force from a krogan warlord in a one on one duel.

Yeah, she took it from force by a Krogan Warlord who gets wasted by two assassins I can take out without even using a gun.

Seriously.

That is a thing which happens if you choose the renegade response during the save Patriarch mission.  He charges off and gets gibbed.

I've killed better Krogan Warlords than him in under five seconds.  She's still not scary.

I like Aria as a character, but ah, I doubt she'd give up Omega to help save the galaxy (and I'm aware of the rumors about who she likely is and her connection to someone familiar). Then again, you can never tell with some people - who knows.

[maladosteo]

 Gotta agree on this one, I was actually hoping that she would be a squadmate in ME2. Maybe potential DLC?

She just seemed like she had a TON of history, as well as knowing how to handle a weapon.

You don't seem to understand that Patriarch is incredibly old and borderline decrepit now, but was once the king of Omega. You don't rule a hive of toughs, mercenaries, gangsters, and other dangerous people by being a weakling. This goes for both Aria and Patriarch. Whether or not you find her "scary" is immaterial. You're a real person. They are fictional. In the world of Mass Effect, Aria is extremely powerful and dangerous to other characters.

For all you know, Aria could be at the level of skill of The Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3. If you're unfamiliar, go educate yourself. In the Metal Gear universe, The Boss' resume includes things like fighting in World War II while pregnant, inventing modern Close-Quarters Combat (CQC), and finally only dying when she lost on purpose.

[Jebel Krong]

eh, no - aria was not a great character, and certainly not squad-worthy compared with the great ones we did get.

[Massadonious1]

If our Shepard's are such badasses, why do we need squadmates at all?



If you want to tout your one-man army accomplishments, then go play Halo.

squadmate? ehh...maybe as a fling :3 that would be lovely

Indeed, why do romance options have to be work place related..

I liked Aria a lot, would love to see her again.

Seconded.

[Tamcia]

Honestly - not a squad mate, but I'd like to help her keep the position of "overlord" in Omega. Hope I don't get forced into killing her as the only option.



I don't see her abandoning Omega to be part of my suicidal squad.

[Taritu]

Helping her, or having her as a squadmate would be good. I can't see her leaving Omega given a choice, but you never know. She left her last life (pre Omega) so she wouldn't have to kill a friend (presumably Wrex) so she might decide she'd had enough of Omega. I mean, 3 centuries as a crime boss and it probably gets old. Time to do something else.



And I'd romance her in a second given the option.

Sorry - One Aria vs Benezia and a room full of commandos or Saren, that doesnt stack up any which way - her bark is surely worse than her bite.

And whats so big about Krogan - Ashley dusted Wrex on Virmire.

The galaxy fear Krogan in numbers not individually.

*Applaud* Yes I agree, you cant see her intimidation factor unless you were to imagine yourself in the Mass Effect world, and thumbs up for The Boss reference.

[beermilk]

Of course a ruler of a space station would just love to join Shepard and then proceed to jump on his dick after having a conversation session 3 times.

[Master Smurf]

Also I think most people are overselling the might is right concept - yes she is powerful but she has the leadership qualities to run Omega.

Usually the leader isnt the most powerful - smart and ruthless puts them over the top.



Off topic - I really dont think there is anything "scary" about ME2; Shep fought through an onslaught at the Citadel and killed Saren with the fleet taking out a reaper ship. He then is brought back to life and that just emboldens him to do the job he started.



The game is seedy (most locales) but fighting mercs... please. Horizon is kinda eerie, Haestrom is solid but the collectors seem to be a big let down and the universe doesnt seem to be on the brink until the game ends and you see the setup.

I'd pay good money to get a renegade trigger to just put a bullet in her brain pan after her reply to the renegade response to her 'don't **** with Aria' bit.

Sorry Aria, but you're not as dangerous as entire Armies of Geth, Saren, a Reaper Robot, Armies of Collectors, Praetorians, or even a Single Thresher Maw, and I eat all of them for lunch. I shoot petty criminals like you on the way to real problems.

She's easily as dangerous as Saren. Anybody who can go toe to toe with a krogan crime lord like Patriarch and break every bone in his body is not to be underestimated.

Bioware didn't give you the option to put a bullet in her brain because she'd have just deflected it. Most likely WITH her brain.

I am sure she is definitely as strong as Saren. Saren was a great character, but I did not think he was that strong. The Geth weren't really following him, and again he got very lucky that Benezia was entrapped for him. He was only slightly strong and had some upgrades to his body. Aria has done everything on Omega herself. Which I feel puts her above Saren.

[CRISIS1717]

I think Aria is great. The cool, calm and collected Queen of Omega would be a great addition to the team. The only problem I can think of is creating a legit reason for her to leave Omega. She seems comfortable where she is and I don't think she'll be overthrown for a while.

You know I loved her.



The only Asari in either game I even remotely liked. (well Morinth wasn't so bad). Something was just great about Aria. Would love to see her again.

Saren is undoubtedly stronger than Aria. He was the best agent among the Spectres and it took Shepard and two other squad members to take him out. Its not just his strength either as if you read Revelation you see his cold calculating intelligence at work. Ive no doubt he could take out Wrex if he wanted to, let alone Aria.

[Ragnadaam]

Aria would be a welcome addition with me,her past really needs more time and being a squady would give plenty of time to learn(also Trinity from the Matrixs' voice needs to be heard more  ).

P.S Moar Asari in me3!

I have not read Revelation, maybe if I did I would think more highly of him, I love an evil genius. Still though I felt he was only as good as he was because it was given to him. About the three party member thing, that is just because you had to have two other people. I am sure we were all confident enough not to have needed to others in our fight against Saren.

Saren was given nothing except indoctrination until before the final battle. Aria was an asari commando and mercenary who fought and schemed to the top but Saren was considered the strongest of the most elite special forces in the galaxy. I understand why you think Aria is awesome but she can't take on a Spectre. Asari commandos are just bodyguards with biotics and she never made it ino the Spectres with her skill.
