I mean, this was an opportunity to show us some more about the Asari. We could've had a Consort or some subdivision of a consort-status or something unique to asari. Instead we just got a human physicist who specializes in aliens, graduated from the University of Oxford or something, that just happened to be wearing asari cosplay. She's even british. The aliens are too humanified in this game. I use that wrongly bent term on purpose because I know aliens are very human in MET but they were still quirky aliens in many ways and I never particularly felt there was anything "alien" about Vetra or PeeBee or Lexi. Only Drack and Jaal maybe.

Bioware not even bothering to give her a face that looked different to every other non-peebee Asari in the game is ridiculous, big waste of Anne Boleyn.

I'll never understand why they didn't give her a unique face. How hard could that have possibly been? And the Andromeda Asari in general? Never in a million years did I ever think I would miss Liara, but man, going back to the original trilogy and seeing Asari with more than two different faces is like a breath of fresh air.

MEA's greatest achievement I think is in selling the OT again. Im playing the first one again now. Even with the dated look, enjoying it more than I did MEA.

Never forget, 5 years is not enough to make more then one face. And it's silly (at least) believing that all of those who bought MEA would have not seen it. And kept silent about it. It’s literally faces after all, which look us back every time we speak with an Asari.

I'm still not clear on what exactly was the point of hiring someone like Natalie Dormer for an unimportant side role. So that they could say that Natalie Dormer is in the game probably.

Additionally to Lexi's defense,
Asari are excellent choices to become physicians.
They have a long lifespan enough to specialize in all forms of xenobiology. Having spent some time at Oxford to catch up on humans is admirable. Also, to have a non human as a doctor who might actually benefit from a wide range of xenobiologic experience would be suitable for explorers in unknown space. It's far better than having a crusty old human doctor based on Bones McCoy.
However, that being said, I'm rather disappointed that Lexi is vague and generally pleasant with no personality. She is supposed to be Peebee's antithesis, yet she expresses this as being unoffensive against Peebee's boisterousness, instead of being designed to be arrogant Asari purist to Peebee's unconventionality.
This, I feel, is the most significant loss of character to Lexi and a waste of Natalie Dormer, who excels as being manipulative with a face of an angel. (Margery Tyrel on GoT, or Anne Boleyn on Tudors) As for real life Natalie Dormer, I think it's ironic that her real personality is more closer to Peebee than Lexi.

I like Lexi. Her calm and gentle personality was a pretty good contrast to the eccentric ones in the squad. Definitely one of my favorite characters in ME: A.
