So, do you think that we also get to see new asari faces along with the patches in the upcoming months? Together with the banter, this is really the most immersion breaking aspect for me - the asari ark storyline is horrible, with every character looking the same. I still hope they change something about this, cause it really flies in your face.
What do you think?

Yeah the asari faces were a bit ridiculous. But I doubt it will be fixed in a patch though. The party banter one though should be if that helps

I agree, it's one of the more egregious failures. I think it will get updated, but I doubt it'll be soon.

I can't imagine them adding new heads in via a patch, tho that is one of the biggest problem for me too. There should be several heads and a unique head for lexi. There also should have been a lot more variety in skin textures, colours, markings, eyes ect.

They should just use the human female face creator for them, just using asari textures and with the facial markings as an additional layer.
I do think Lexi should be the only one to maintain the current face, it suits her. Keri definitely needs her own face considering she's romanceable.

As for the asari, I find it more appealing the more asari I meet - the ark was the worst so far.

But also the more special asari quest givers and those in Coras mission should have more unique heads, no?

Yeah, characters of note should have more uniquely crafted faces, but on the whole, giving them random features is better than having 20,000 clones skipping about the place

I doubt it.
The Asari clone army is unfortunately probably here to stay, short of PC mods which I'm sure will eventually come down the pike. The patch will probably just introduce an improvement to facial animations.
The best to hope for from Bioware is that they don't make the same mistake with future ME games (assuming there are any) or DA4. I'd be very surprised if character design wasn't given a higher priority in future Bioware games, given the very vocal backlash the human and Asari character models received with this game.

I guess the trade off for having females of all the other races was having only one model for each gender other than a select few uniques, it's like Bioware doesn't realise that they need to be doing better and not doing the same lazy shit they did years ago. It looks even more obvious now graphics have improved so much.

Yes, they were probably in over their heads...and although there are characters of different genders, the clone asari are a giant step back if compared to the OT.

Swapping out entire faces via patch seems unlikely. You could just use the preset faces of human NPCs, but still have to add the headcrests and textures etc...
It'd be worth it for immersion (and general quality) sake, but they've got a lot on their plate and most studios seem more eager to get on to additional content rather than fix stuff because $
Whoever made that call though...I don't really think there's any excuse that would justify it, and I'm a lot more forgiving of some of the game's problems than a lot of people here or elsewhere on the internet.

They reused the same faces a lot in the OT but there were a few of them and NPCs had original looks. Can't imagine what meeting shiala would have been like if she looked like exactly the same as Liara. But the the ensuing clone scenes to follow probably would have had me in stitches.

They never learn ME 1 had the same exact domed exterior structure and on every side quest, though that could probably could be explained by the modular space engineering design. DA2 had exactly the same cave for every single underground dungeon, and I think 1 or 2 exteriors used in the side-quests as well. "They'll never notice, right?" Now we have Andromeda and the one asari face to rule them all. I honestly think it's the most offensive blunder out of the bunch. The asari clones are just horrible. And we notice it even more than the other alien clones because they basically have human features. At least the other games had more npc variety.

Yes.
I love MEA to bits and pieces but all the asari having the same face feels really strange. Samara, Liara, Aria, Samara's daughters. Did all the asari that came over with the initiative come from the same clan or something?
I would like to see it fixed but must confess that I value more content with story and companions more. I would be happy to have some variety with the asari but if that would be cumbersome there are other things that I would prefer to spend time and money on.

I'll just say that its one of the things that keeps me from ever 'giving MEA a 9'. (even if all other major concerns are fixed, and if all DLC is great)

Pathfinder, interviewer, dancers, questgivers - they all look the same. Maybe we need to ask the devs directly for more #asaridiversity
