Jaal Ama Darav (Official Thread)

Awww!

Good evening everyone

The concept of asari is really interesting, especially on a cultural, ecological and social level, but their design boggles me. Especially given the fact that they're attractive to everyone (they sure as hell aren't to me >:I). I agree with fialka in that they really could've done more with their design and concept of mono-gendered race, and I would've loved a more alien, perhaps androgynous look to them. And maybe just confirm that they use mental suggestions cos that's the only way I can see the "universally attractive" working.

As for a race of sexy men, I'd have to give that a hard pass. If they're gonna be designed similarly to the asari then I just won't be able to muster up an liking towards them since they'll just end up being dudes in hats. Everyone's concept of sexy is wildly different, and for me wildly different is sexy. Even batarians and drell are more interesting to look at than the asari, and I guess I'm one of the few that - while still really liking their designs - thinks they could've pushed the anagra and kett a bit further away from humans visually, even while still keeping them bipedal U_U (although honestly, designing anything with sexiness at the forefront can be very hit and miss if you don't really think it through)

(However I guess I could make an exception for namekians. I just think they're cute~)

Haha I did a crazy thing last year. I played all 3 DA games and all 3 ME games and completed everything! I found the mage-related stuff wasn't as big as I thought, so I balanced it all out. I am so burned out now I won't even touch a DA or ME game.  I tried the same with Oblivion and Skyrim and it nearly killed me!

I think he'll be alright with anyone as long as they aren't cruel.

Only cute? C'mon you can try harder!! They could show you a whole new world 



First furries, now namekians, I think I need a break and actual Jaal news xD

There are Finns EVERYWHERE. We just lay low. Except me. I like to make noise. If I can combine it with stupid gifs, even better and I refuse to leave. Then I go all off-topic when they don't give me anything relevant to make noises about. Speculating is not my thing. Do we still know anything about Jaal's butt? No. So not fair.

I'm spanish, but my mother is german, I don't know anything of german though and totally feel you when it comes to speak in english, so high five xD

Asari are purposefully a race of blue space babes (blue to differentiate it at least a little from the stereotypical green) because BioWare wanted a touch of retro scifi in there. They've even said as much outright in art books. So yeah, that's what it is. They do try to stick some lore behind it in the game, at least, and that's appreciated.

"You can bitch all you want, babe; I still know I'm gettin' a kiss right before the final battle."

Oh, oh, know what's really fun? Modding the game so you have 100% approval right when  you meet him Then you can be a mage-lover to the extreme!!! And he can bitch and moan and stomp his foot, but TOO LATE SWEETIE YOU LOVE ME. Mwahahaha!

I know, it's just, I think they have evolved. This is a species that was revealed back in 2007 and likely conceived far before that. It is now 2017. Times have changed. The asari, for lack of a better descriptor, have become more feminist. They just have. Because the world has become more feminist. Are they perfect, hell to the no. But like you said, they're sort of working with what they have at this point.

AGREEEEED, at least Liara's old man pointed out that asari have CHOICES in life, that you either strip or join a merc group (or both). That was nice.

Non-at-all-suave who think their suave-as-hell are truly the best characters
