Yearly reminder that the Asari don't look human, they actually trick other species into thinking they look similar.
Unfriendly reminder that discussing any shit made by Bioware is not allowed and you need to fuck off back to the queer forum you came from, faggot.
Oh yeah?
And who the fuck wants to see this shit?

Mass Effect 1 and 2 are objectively great games.

>>341002217
So what's wrong with it?
>>341001949
>It's an Asari
Why is an Asari with red face paint in the Andramada galaxy?
An Asari will apear as whatever the species finds attractive.
The entire human race has become trap hunters.
>>340999854
U-G-L-Y
You ain't got no alibi
>>341002504
If the humans are capable of intergalactic travel the asari would be too because they've been space-faring much longer. It could be a member of your crew too
>>341002530
I hold /b/ personally accountable for this.
Didn't a Salarian or something once question why Asari look so similar to humans?
>>341002738
HAHA! Good one my fellow redditor!
What sick American guy quotes will you bless us with next?
>>341002849
Yes but why the facepaint? Why is it purple?
>>341003780
asari in the past have had facepaint too I guess it's just a distinguishing characteristic for a species that is essentially just blue human females
>>341002309
And they only mentioned things that each of them could see. They just individually chose to focus on the things that were most similar to their own species. None of them denied that what the others were seeing was actually there.
Honestly, this is one of the dumbest memes to come from Mass Effect.
Screenshots certainly don't flatter her, but I think she looked fine in motion
she was incredibly expressive, so I'm getting super hyped to see the other alien races in the game, if they use some kind of facial capture too
>>341002396
She's not exactly gorgeous.
>>341004892
Why does she have to be?
>>341005008
Because 99% of the fan base wants attractive men and women in their vidya. But a vocal minority seems to get their way.
>>341005201
It's unrealistic for every character to be attractive
>>341005342
you're unrealistic
>>341005342
It's also unrealistic for one guy/girl to save the galaxy from ancient god robots. Player characters are always the exception, never the rule.
>>341005640
what does that have to do with characters having diverse looks
>>341005342
So who exactly is this character supposed to appeal to? Who looks at this character and says ''That's like me!"
If that's not the reason, then what is? Why would you otherwise make your characters look unappealing? Realism? In a fantasy game?
>>341005954
Not every character has to be visually appealing. I doubt the writing will be anything spectacular
Ugly characters exist in """"fantasy"""" worlds
>Pic related is what Bioware gives us for romance options now
That asari isn't too surprising.
>>340999585
If that is the case...
...then what am I seeing here?
>>340999854
>>341002530
>>341006479
you retards are going to keep forcing this shit
>>341006395
I unironically like all the females in Inquisition
It's a shame the gameplay is so trash though
>>341002530
Was Jimmy Carr the face model for this abomination?
Why has bioware gone perpetually down hill on all this diversity ugly people tranny bollocks. Why can't they just make fun games without all that. Have they been infiltrated by some nutter political organisation or something.
>>340999585
Reminder that that effect would not work after the asari was dead, or if you take a picture of them, resulting in people very soon realising that asari look nothing like them.
But since the codex is not talking about that, this opinion is uncorroborated bullshit only cited by idiots who can´t think.
>>341006975
They cannot succeed in modern gaming. If they go the ''diversity'' route, they are protected by the PC shield. Thus any criticism of their games is really 'misogyny / gay / trans' hate. **wink wink**
>>341001394
3 is a pretty decent game too, shit story though.

>>341007352
you act like she will be the only person in the game
>>341007858
DAI had hideous women too, and that one waking up at the end of the trailer doesn't do well for your argument
>>341007960
ok sara and the black girl
>>341008059
the consistent manjaw on all females did it too. like on Morrgian and Cassandra
>>340999854
in the future the human race has ditched oppressive gender standards and has moved on to enlightened androgyny
Something that always bothered me about Mass Effect, besides the ending turd, no opposite sexes for other races? What?
No female Turian, Elephant and Mole things?
Why?
>>341008276
bitching about a character you make yourself is stupid and that manjaw meme is stupid if you call that one that pic related is one too
>>341008464
there is a female turian in ME3DLC
>>340999585
No, they don't.
>>341008464
There were a few female turians in ME3. The Omega DLC had one, and there's one in the Citadel DLC you can help Garrus hook up with.
>>341008606
Is she a strong independent womyn who beats up men and doesn't take any shit from the patriarchy?
>>341008464
Come to think of it the only races with instances of showing two different genders are the Quarians and the Krogans.indecently those are the best races
>>341008685
nice meme bro
>>341008685
Well, she is a lesbian (or at least bisexual).
>>341007105
But their games sales have gotten worse.
>>341008780
>indecently those are the best races
>indecently
You mean they're the best in bed?
>>341002530
How can they trick cameras into showing them as attractive to humans?
>>340999585
Who gives a shit about the Asari? Where the fuck are the Quarians? I want my substitute Tali dammit!This is fucking bosh'tet.
>>341008925
Incidentally, I did not spell check.
>>341009096
I think "bosh'tet" is more like "bastard" than "bullshit".
>>341008626
What if the psychic effect goes really fucking deep, and even affects images of Asari?

How would an Asari actually look like?
If the asari really were lying to everyone, that dickhead Javik would have said so, if only to mock everyone for being fooled by them.
In ME2 there's a bunch of fags that're having a party, on their table is an asari streaper and a Salarian ask what is that hole on her belly, the Turian answer that it's a navel and only humans have them.
So no, they don't, Asari are just blue humans with tentacle head.
>>340999585
>implying Bioware is really that clever, and not just super horny
You guys think we might get a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster to go with Andromeda? I'd like to play them on PC with a controller. The current workarounds feel incomplete.

>tfw bioware will fuck our shit up and only make a male Quarian squadmate

>>341009325
If they're that strong then why does someone like Aria even have competition?
There's no reason to believe they psychically trick species into thinking they look like them at all.

>>341009325

Wait has the game ever shown a female batarian, turian or solarian or did i just miss them?
>>341015810
Salarian females are everywhere, but the dalatrass councilor in 3 is an example.
>>340999585
well what do they actually look like? sounds like a cop out.

Only the Turian mentions the tentacle things. The human mentions the belly button and the Salarian, the color of her skin.
>>341018432
I think I've heard many people describe asari as having tentacle heads.
>>340999854
Still looks human to me. Bioware just made them ugly instead.
>>341017029
>secondary ass in the front
>>341018432
The point of the conversation isn't that Asari all look different depending on the viewer. It's that for whatever reason different races find them attractive for different reasons.

THE WORLD WAS GONNA ROLL ME
>>341008626
>the most advanced alien species hasn't found a way to recreate their psychic biology using fictional technology
>>341009082
They don't. What those three guys meant in the bar is that they have attributes from each race that make them attractive to that race.
Krogans still see what we see but they also see something krogan-esque that makes them randy
Getting heavy cod dog vibes from this one.
What the fuck are you doing Bioware?
>>340999854
Promoting injustice can be beneficial, so it has some value.
Promoting lies can be useful, so they have some value.
Promoting ugliness is never good in any way, in any fashion you can twist it. It's purest of evil. It is what truth shows of these people and their souls.
>>340999585
Well they're doing a pretty good job at it
>>340999854
She is like that because she is old now, right?
>>341022696
considering that face is obviously based on an actual person in their 20s, I'd say no
>>341022657
Woah

They said that some old faces would show up in Andromeda. Who is it going to be?
>>341004753
This. Every detail they focused on was technically true. If asari were actually eldritch abominations, there would be photographs of them, and asari armor wouldn't fit humans.
You know how female monsters in fantasy settings usually look like humans? In Mass Effect, the women of most species look like asari in some way.

I don't get it. What's so bad about this character? There have been ugly Asari before.
>>341027119
They no longer all appear to be female, this thing is about 10% female 90% male and probably has a dick as well.
>>341027336
But that's what I said. Is it just because she's ugly? There's no justification for getting this worked up.
You guys are blowing things out of proportion.

Why do /v/ hate Mass Effect 3
>>341028374
The character that everyone hated from Inquisition. But this asari does look like Sera.....just in alien form.
>>340999854
>>340999585
That's not even how that fucking works.
Asari just have different features that attract each race.
This whole assumption comes from the bachelor party right?
remember flemeth and when they turned her into mmo-meth
>>341029469
Yes it does, the bachelor party was a joke BioWare added after a huge dispute on the forums prior to this event in-game where people thought that Asari were tricking the races into seeing some sort of pure woman.
So Humans would see a Human, Turians, would see a Turian woman, Krogan would see a Krogan female. When in fact it wasnt that at all.
No one ever takes the time to even listen to them. The Human comments on certain features, as the Turian and Krogan do too. They never say they see something completely different but are attracted to certain parts of the Asari body.
>>340999854
how can people compare her to Sera, she's look decent
>>341011929
are you implying it's a bad thing?
because it's not
>>341029670
Personality.
Even in a few seconds clip, the Asari looks like the wacky/zany type. That is what Sera was in DA. Also why she was so fucking annoying.
>>341008840

>>340999854
Has that really been confirmed to be an asari? How are they justifying giving them such a different look?
>>341010146
Fucking hell did the turian female look good with her bird like face.
You just know they used the face of some bald nu-male on their staff as the reference. I bet if you look hard enough you can find it.
>>341030693
Blonde in the black jacket looks to be the only decent person there.
>>341030286
>>341030368
She's not exactly "pretty" but I mean she could have a fun personality. Then again Bioware can't write a fun woman without going full "gigglesqueek", which was done poorly in pretty much every game they attempted to implement her.

Man, Asari can fuck off.
Who here hyped for gayliens? Give me a dickable Garrus, you dumb Bioware fucks.
>>341031083
Man, Lisa Simpson has gone downhill.
Since the concept of the Asari is that they are a race of seductive feminine predators, they probably only look similar to other races to attract them.
I don't know how that happens though. Anyway, the Asari's looks depends on what the user finds attractive, if we follow that logic.
Then, if I were to see, say, an Asari, then would she look like a cute anime girl? Or a loli?
>>341032314
that's not true
>>341032161

>>341032869
They have cloacas.
>>341033126
They want to donate their bodily organs into statistical study of interspecies mingling, if you get hit on the head with a hammer.
>>341033256

>>341032856
K E K
>>341032378
But don't the Asari themselves mention this when you're defending their homeland in ME3 iirc?
>>340999585
I think Asari, even with their mind meld thingy, can have sex like humans.
They look like they have a similar digestive system. Their asses can have similar nerve groups that produces the pleasure in ours.
And they look like they have birth canals like ours (basing on the Banshees). They'd have no clits because they don't have males and one has to wonder how developed are the nerves around their vaginas.
>>341030587
I will give you one thing. They do look a lot alike
>>341031754
Asari ain't shit but hoes and mind tricks.
>>341032314
They look similar to an extent. So none will morph into your anime loli waifu.
>>341003105
No. They asked why a human would be interested in something that looked salarian
>>341032314
You will see the Asari like you see them in the games, the "seductive" stuff is probably just drawing attention to features they have from you species (human looking at the tits, Turians to the head things, etc), it probably can disguise some small stuff like wrinkles

How much birdlike are the turians? Well they look like a mix of bird and reptiles (which is what all birds are in fact). Regardless, they still have clocas, I guess.
The codex say they're viviparous, we don't have any viviparous birds to make a parallel. We do have viviparous reptiles, so I guess there's a place to put your dick in. Even if they have scales who can hurt you.

Everyone uses translators.
Technology: Translation
Human cultures remain linguistically divided. Some converse in Spanish, others in Mandarin, Arabic, Swahili, etc. Every alien race has their own equally broad panoply of languages and dialects.
Most individuals know only their mother tongue, and rely on machine translation. Modern portable computers allow anyone with a few hundred credits of equipment to enjoy seamless real-time translation of alien languages, courtesy of handheld PDAs, computers in clothing or jewelry, or sub-dermal implants. Without fast and accurate translation, galactic trade and culture would not exist.
Governments provide subsidized software, updated through the public extranet "on the fly", often as users approach spaceport customs facilities. Even the batarians, who isolated themselves from galactic society nearly two decades ago, take pains to provide up-to-date glossaries and linguistic rules, though most suspect that this is only so they can continue exporting propaganda.
It is still considered broad-minded and practical to be able to speak without machine aid. Children often take courses in alien language, and most races can speak the simplified artificial "trade tongue" with little difficulty.
Some species must rely on machine translation to interact with the rest of the galaxy. Hanar, for example, cannot reproduce the spoken language of any humanoid species, and other races cannot reproduce hanar bioluminescence without mechanical aid. Newly discovered or obscure races don't have machine translation available until the linguists have had time to study them.

What physical space do they fucking occupy then?
Whoever wrote that scene was high as fuck.
How can an asari have weird shins like a turian, horns like a salarian and also look human?
If you can actually explain to me how three different species can be touching the same asari at the same time AND the asari can STILL manipulate how they look then I will believe you.
Until then, fuck off you retard.

holy fuck that is despicable
aren't they going against everything they've established about Asari with that?
good god, I feel like a race that relies on looking attractive to other species would go Sparta on that thing and throw it off a cliff

If you actually listen to what they say, this manipulation "argument" loses all merit

Because they actually do look like humans. The person who wrote that horseshit into the story is a person sitting at a desk with coffee and Redbull and making up nonsense that made its way into the video game, because in the end, these things just aren't very important. They modeled human looking aliens.
