All Asari (besides Peebee) having the same face model wouldn't be a big deal if that face model wasn't so damn ugly. It's not ugly. Lexi and other asari clones are much prettier than most asari were in the original trilogy.

Default Sara's face depends on lighting, angle and animation, there are scenes where it's goofy or fugly but most of the time she looks fine. The custom presets are fugly as hell though.

They definitely should add more diversity for asari faces at least in DLCs. Maybe casual players don't care, but for me it's sad to see that all asari look the same and less attractive than in original trilogy.

HAHA the Asari ark docking scene at the nexus had me in stitches. Attack of the clones in different colors.

All the qunari in DA2 had the same face but that game was made in 1 year, not 5, and it had to run on inferior hardware.
Sadly I am not seeing this issue out of the dedicated subforums and subreddits. The animations issue reached neogaf and big gaming sites. It became noticeable to the world at large so they had to address it. I don't think an issue becomes a priority if only the fans care about it. I don't expect a change for this one.

It's just most likely the same asari, she just got an FTL drive in her ass.

Nor do I, on twitter devs react to a lot of the problems, but are always quiet when it comes to asari clone face.

They could make one new asari face, a good looking one this time, and clone that. Not much work (probably), still clone-face but at least asari wouldn't be a fugly race.

Salarians same face, drell same face,angaran same face, krogans virtually same face unless they're female.
But Asari have the same face and THEN people throw a fit.

Only Asari I really bothered to talk to/notice were Peebee, Lexi, Keri and the pathfinder, so I could care less.

I think because asari basically have human faces, whereas the other races are alien enough and thus don't pose that much of a problem, i.e. I guess many people can easier connect and relate to human faces. Imagine EVERY human npc having the same face, ok for you? Not for me. And by the way, many people are not fond of the same turian , salarian etc, it's just that the asari are the most glaring.

Salarians same face, drell same face,angaran same face, krogans virtually same face unless they're female. But Asari have the same face and THEN people throw a fit. It is because the Asari look like actual people, unlike Salarians or Krogan. There doesn't actually need to be that much variety in the facial features of the more alien-looking aliens (though of course variety is always great) because they don't look like us, and a different skin tone and some variation in facial marking is going to be enough for most people not to notice the similarities. That there isn't a lot of variation with the Asari is much more noticeable than it would be for Krogan, because they have human faces. It ties into our biological programming. If there is ever a ME5 human NPCs and aliens that look like humans (like the Asari) should be prioritized for more work from the artists than species like the Krogan or Salarians for that reason.

Are you implying that strapping some face paint on aliens isn't enough to make them individuals? You humans are all racist!

Has anyone ever thought of taking Asari faces in Andromeda and imagining them on other Asari characters from the original trilogy? I don't think Aria would look a 10th as intimidating with that face.

It "fascinates" me how Mass Effect Andromeda has much better graphics than Me1-3, and faces in older games look much better. Yeah; better engine but we end up with cloned Asari. Then we have the Krogan 8 year old child martial arts style slap fight....big step back from the Kai Leng/Thane animated fight from ME3. Honestly, I wouldn't have minded if they used the old engine again if they'd been able to make a better game.
