"scientific" arguments - I asked for the game to be consistent with its own story logic. None of ME is really "scientific", but it does go to the trouble to build its own logic for things - the armor and protective gear has its own logic and mechanisms as does the weaponry and the buildings. Asking the Asari to stay consistent within already established story logic isn't unreasonable. Sure it does but it doesn't mean that the context is all there. There is already consistency with the Asari because they have been shown to wear breather masks since the first game. You are asking for them to have consistency with something arbitrary.

Who are you to tell an Asari what they can't handle? The games have already told us what they can and can't handle - by making them wear protective gear previously. Again, it can be for practical usage rather than out of necessity I mean... it's basic common sense to wear armor to deflect bullets. Apparently Peebee thinks her Biotic shields are enough. That's her choice. I hope she doesn't die!

Yes, the external humanoid physiology that's soft and squishy thus requiring them to wear protective gear in extreme situations - which you see them do in all three games of the OT. PB should wear that gear when called for - the can "personalize" it the same way they did in Inquisition while still maintaining a pleasing veneer of plausibility and internal story logic. Soft and squishy is an assumption. We don't know that. Yes they do wear full armor on occasions. It may be for practical reasons rather than necessary ones. I am not arguing against customization. It sucks that you can't do it. I'm totally for the ability to cover them up if you want to, but arguments against it should not be based on flimsy scientific arguments of "nonrealism".

Then Peebee should die as soon as she sets food on an inhospitable planet. She thought she could handle it, right? Who are you to tell an Asari what they can't handle?

Hey, you're the one asserting that asari have an environmentally sealed biotic barrier around their bodies. It's not an assertion. It's a counterargument to the assertion that Asari not having full coverage is unrealistic. I could be wrong. Point is you could be wrong as well.

The games apply human physiology to Asari, so I'm just asking the games to be consistent. They apply external humanoid physiology. It's true they look like humans (space babes) but they are still not human.

Yes, they should require "scientific" explanations because the Mass Effect world goes to great lengths to explain things in "scientific" terms via its codex. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Just because it's not outlined, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Using your logic, there is nothing to indicate that Asari do not have the ability to resist minor environmental hazards, especially when there is plenty of context regarding Asari being genetically uplifted specifically in their use of biotics as well as mass effect fields being capable of repelling matter.

Explain how? You can't provide evidence based on gameplay mechanics to show proof of reality. That's as absurd as claiming that humans can regenerate after being shot instantly because they rested for 3 seconds in shooters. Sure I can. It's weak proof, but it's more than you have. No. No you can't. It's not proof because it's based on gameplay. It's like saying humans don't have to use the bathroom because we don't use it in game.

If you find this gel in the codex let me know. Meanwhile, saying silly stuff like "she's not a soldier" while she's putting herself in both extreme climates and extreme hostile situations doesn't hold water. She'd still need the protective gear that a soldier would require, or in this case, any soft squishy being exploring and fighting in hostile and varied climes requires. IfYou can't tell someone to provide proof when you have none of your own. Stop applying human physiology to Asari, as well as modern technological levels to those centuries ahead of us.

Moving the goalposts. Again. Explain how? You can't provide evidence based on gameplay mechanics fo scientific context. That's as absurd as claiming that humans can be in fighting condition after resting for a few seconds after being shot in the face in shooters.

If people want spandex or midriff baring attire on their voyages of exploration, fine. But I want an OPTION for something that makes more sense. This is a completely different situation. Wanting the option to cover them up is fair and reasonable request. Arguments for it should not be based on "scientific" explanations.

Planetary hazards in ME1. Biotic characters are just as vulnerable to them without proper armor. Including Liara Not talking about Biotic characters. We are discussing Asari specifically which had been genetically enhanced by the Protheans to be more adept and in tune with mass effect field manipulation. The argument here is also gameplay. Planetary hazards in ME1 applied to the entire party as a whole, and given that the game ends if the player dies, there is no point in applying separate hazards thresholds to your squad members.

Asari have a natural biotic layer over their skin that protects them from environmental hazards. Prove me wrong. The spaghetti monster exist. Prove me wrong. When someone is coming with a opinion that they say is true, they usually are responsible to give proof first. And I have already said in a former post, that if they (Bioware) just had said: "prolonged usage of Biotic will harden the skin and make it more resilient to damage/environmental danger". And they would be free to make their blue spacebabes run around in bikins. But since they haven't, here we are. Actually you're the ones making claims about the situation being presumably implausible, using irrelevant context (applying human physiology to Asari) or incomplete ones (insuffucient knowledg) Given that Asari gave historically been shown to not wear full helmets, there is consistency. They don't need to outline it anywhere, just like they don't have to outline the shape of a Quarians genitals.

Asari have a natural biotic layer over their skin that protects them from environmental hazards. Prove me wrong. Any time you used incinerate or cryo blast on an eclipse merc Can be argued in terms of concentration. Environmental hazards are not as concentrated as weapon-grade assaults. Those that are such as lava are lethal no matter what you wear Also can be argued as a gameplay mechanism, such as you not dying when shot in the face. Next.

Hey guys. I'm trying to stay relatively minimal on the spoilers tomorrow.

If not it's fine. I'll be back on the 19th to fanboy with you all.
