There have been Asari/human pairings, the one you find the locket for is one (on Illium), her daughter will be able to see her father's picture now that you have returned it, we just don't get to see the daughter tho

Well, the bartender has markings on her face, and her voice, that makes her seem very Krogan, and that's just one that I can think of that quickly comes to mind, I'm sure there are more. She even says something along the lines of not believing that Asari don't get anything from the father. Meaning, she thinks that they do.

No, her voice, she doesn't sound like other Asari, she's very rough like a Krogan.

Hehe Yeah, Aethyta is pretty vocal about preparing for battles, I'd half expect her to shout "I AM KROGON" if a bar room brawl started and jump into it.

Ya, she has a raspy voice and a sort of Krogan-ish attitude. I would almost bet money that there really is some traits inherited from the father.  Need to start imagining Shep+Liara daughters.  I know one thing, those 2 will make some of the strongest and most inteligent kids the galaxy has seen!

If you want to know what physical traits asari get from the father species then you can read the codex in ME1. Then look up 'anecdotal evidence' on wiki in relation to science. But prepared to be depressed if you thought they actually got any. There's a reason why even Liara qualifies it as a "belief" when talking to you. Erinya tells you as much as well.

[scmadsen]

That would depend upon if we talking a pureblood or any number of other race and Asari pairings. As you said, we don't have information to go on. But what proof is there she is simply imitating her father?

I have half a bottle of wine left, want a glass?

We are talking science fiction here though, and thus it's not beyond reason that Asari genetics and mating might not work like anything we have ever seen. They did evolve on a whole other planet half a galaxy away. The writers themselves even contradict what they say on the subject of Asari. Thus I'd rather like to just suspend reason and think Asari get something from their fathers, and other Asari saying they don't, is simply political philosophy.

You don't bother me yorkj, no worries. And I'll share a glass with you Sunnie.

I'd like to think so.

Proof?  None.  This is speculation about speculation.  Bioware says one thing, their characters say other things, and no one has a clue what's going on.  I'm saying that she's imitating her father because that her personality is distinctly Krogan, as in tough, and no-nonsense, and because we don't have a sufficient sample-size to draw any conclusions about whether or not Asari daughters from Asari/non-Asari pairings actually inherit traits from their parents, I must attribute her Krogan mannerisms to her "father".  Occam's Razor, and all of that.

Fair enough.

I wanted to see her get rough with Conrad and toss him out. hehe

There are a couple pureblood asari around Illium and none of them look alike nor anywhere near as beautiful as Liara, if I recall they remove tattoo's and other markings when they reach Matriarch stage (or was it matron stage?), Liara's mother had no markings, Aethyta has none, just what is there naturally ie: Liara and her Mother's eyebrows, don't think them are painted on.



So, all in all each Asari I think is unique, just as humans are and are products of their upbringing.

The codex itself tells you that evidence is anecdotal.  Liara tells you that it is a belief.  Erinya tells you that any variation could easily be caused by environmental effects.  Anecdotal evidence for the inheritance of traits after the asari have been doing it for over 2700+ years?  So it isn't even a question of comparing it human genetics.  It is a belief and anecdotal evidence exactly because the asari can't find any actual evidence for it occuring, but some of them believe it anyway.
Could the developing child be influenced by any melding their mother did?  Sure, that seems more likely to me.  Plus asari probably attune themselves a bit to people around them automatically.  So being the parent of a child could have a profound impact on their development.
But any daughters of Shepard and Liara won't be inheriting any of Shepard's features or physical traits.  There is no transfer of genetic material.  All of their daughters genetic material comes from Liara.

Are the markings on Liara's head natural or did she put them there? We never saw what Benezia looked like under her hat thing. We see Samara has markings but Arthyta doesn't.

We still don't know if the eyebrows are markings or not do we, what about the freckles?

We know her freckles are adorable and cute, she'd be naked without them

[Unata]

Oh wait, we want her naked and in Shepard's bed....
