We've seen a lot of threads expressing love for Mass Effect, and I do love the game. However, there is something that I just can't get over: the Asari are stupid. There isn't a single thing about the species that makes any sense. Let's go over Asari biology, shall we?
Asari are mono-gendered, but can somehow mate with any species. QUESTION! How would such an adaptation come about and prove beneficial? What kind of disaster hit the Asari homeworld that prevented them from mating with each other?
So sex for the Asari involves some sort of telepathic, biochemical bullsh*t. QUESTION! Then why do they ware cloths? They don't ware helmets in the vacuum of space, so their skin is obviously made of tough stuff. They don't need clothing for protection, and their reproductive organs are mental. Cloths serve the Asari no purpose.
The Asari are physically attractive. QUESTION! Why? Humans strive to be attractive because sex is a physical act for us, but not so for the Asari. Women tend to have wide hips because that co-insides with a wide...er..."channel". Asari don't mate that way, thus the wide hips are completely pointless. Women tend to be more dexterous then men because men are attracted to that. Asari don't need male attention to mate, thus their dexterity is completely pointless. Also, why did they only use features of female attraction? If the Asari are truly genderless, they would have traits of both genders.
Oh yeah, and one more question: WHY DO THEY HAVE BOOBS!?!?
