tentacle nipples!!!! :-o

Urgh... I want to stay out of this, but... good for them, but as an agender person (which I think is considered non-binary) I do consider them a good representation because non-binary does not always mean you are blessed with a slender androgynous form; you can born a non-binary person and be born with a hulking masculine body or a extremely curvy big-boobed body; it is what it is and doesn't change the person you are inside.

Yes yes yes yes all of that is true; the asari could be better and were they invented in 2017 instead of 2007 I believe they would be. But if an asari calls herself "her" in game 1 they can't really change that in game 3 or 4. They also haven't really explained how language/translation works in ME trilogy; for all we know, the asari do NOT understand gender, and their pronoun is not "the asari version" of "her" but is simply a pronoun. Really, in their native language(s) there is zero reason to assume they would have even the faintest concept of gender. Furthermore, it does not help that in English, the language we're using, there is no non-gender singular personal pronoun; people try to use "they" or invented words, and these things are slowly catching on, but we are attempting to change the way we think as well as speak, and it's very, very hard.

And as I showed above, I do not believe they are always depicted femininely. But I DO AGREE that the team has not taken the concept far enough, indeed not very far at all. But to me personally they mean a lot, so that's probably why it steams me up when they're tossed aside as strippers and such by other players lol

Sorry guys >.<

Ryder: What? Why?
Gil: I had to pay for engineering school somehow.

Was that double entedre intentional?

All this talk of asari really makes me wish Bioware had made them more androgynous. I think they would've been much more interesting of a race if they had been. Of course, they were initially designed to be sexy space babes... But yeah. Interesting topic to think about anyway

Holy crap 34 pages our little thread has at least a bit of interest after a day or two huh ?! lol ahh well back to page 14 I've got some catching up to do

Maybe if we surpass all the other threads in excitement and page numbers, they'll notice and throw us a bone. Okay, probably not, but it's a pipe dream.

Well, I'm not shocked if he uses the standard male body model. Cora and Female Ryder seem to be using the same body model, after all.

I'm really glad we got some details on his visuals. Now, if only they can send a screenshot...

Thanks for sharing 

^ Me in anticipation of a redheaded m/m LI!

Also, "daveliam was right".  I love those words!    But, seriously, I'm not surprised about his body.  Based on my source, all three of the human guys my friend saw shared the same body type.  Per usual!
