I don't think so. I think it is an asari thing. Maybe it's related to the biotics in some way but I think it is an asari thing. I believe that is one of the things the protheans did to the asari when they altered them. Because if that is related to biotics (their mind meld things) then no non asari can come close in terms of biotic strength (except javik) since no other species can do it. Hmm. Maybe. Which is weird because that just means Liara and Shiala basically Asari-Mate with Shepard as a "surprise" move. I guess Benezia could have broken free b/c of the Asari Mind Meld. If that's the case though, all Asari can break free of indoctrination. Benezia was the only one to break free on her own. And the only thing differentiating Benezia from other indoctrinated Asari is her more powerful biotics. You mean when they share memories and the cipher? At the end of ME3 when we get to talk to our squad one last time we see liara have us go into her memories. It is something that close friends and loved ones do. I think that is the asari "mind meld" thing as well.

If that's the case though, all Asari can break free of indoctrination. Benezia was the only one to break free on her own. And the only thing differentiating Benezia from other indoctrinated Asari is her more powerful biotics. Do we actually know that "embrace eternity" is a biotic ability? It's a subset of how they reproduce so I'm not sure it counts. Given that, I don't think it applies in regard to resisting indoctrination.. You could say Benezia had strong willpower, which may not be unexpected from someone who is over 700 years of age. Yeah we don't know that. We can speculate though, since it involves a sort of psychic ability. And we know Biotics are linked to psychic abilities in Mass Effect. Maybe the Asari had it before the Protheans altered them? Don't know. But my point was that I didn't think Matriarch Benezia broke free from indoctrination b/c of the Asari mind meld. She broke free due to her biotical abilities. The lore states that she broke free due to her powers, which best translates to biotics.
