Asari bother me because they're basically fetish fodder, and nothing else.
Alien enough to be exotic, but human enough not to squick out the demographic from being attracted to them.
And they work as prostitutes. And they are the only squad mates (until ME3) that a Shepard of either gender can romance.

Hell, the art book even outright states that they are supposed to be the token sexy alien babes.

It just bothers me, because we already have human characters to romance, and the Asari could have been replaced with another, more creative alien species, instead just "ALIEN TITTIES!"


Liara, herself, annoys me as a character, and was one of my least favorite characters in the series.
I hate how much they try to force her onto you.
But I was pretty okay with Samara and Morinth. And Aria's pretty cool.

instead just "ALIEN TITTIES!"

Hell, I think if they'd just removed the breasts from the asari and quarians, it would have been a great improvement. They're pretty cool aliens, it's the completely incongruous secondary female characteristics that make them both generic and uncanny.

Asari bother me for the exact same reason as you, but at the same time, I'm glad they're there because to have the whole race only of one gender (which isn't supposed to be female but who seriousy believe that shit), the producers kind of got forced to develop multiple female characters, often in high rank and position, and I think the gender imbalance would have been glaring without them.

+1 every time I think of an asari, I think of a deprived fanboy making his dreams come true. Liara really bothered me too, she was way too pushy even when it was obvious that I kept her as far away as possible.

I can see your point with most of this comment, but getting all hung up on the fact that either gender Shepard can romance Liara is a little ridiculous.

They're a single sex species that mates with every species in the galaxy.
If they can be attracted to any species, despite the wide variance, why would they have issues with different sexes in a single species?

And on top of that, if you're looking at it from the perspective of the game creators, since they do have such wide variance in sexual interest, why would they not take that perfectly legitimate opportunity to create two romance subplots with only slightly more work than it would be to make one?
