So you know in every ME you can "romance". But i would like to see some ways to get children with other species and then have them as companions to play with. Would be a fun way to make romancing more rewarding and make it useful in some way. Anyone with me on this?

No, Shepard and Ryder can do what they do because they have no children.They can't go on maternity or parental leave exactly. They are unique characters that need to be available and there's just no way that you have to save Prodromos from the Kett Or Roekaar but they have to wait 'cause you have to drop the kids off at school'.I just don't see that, sorry. If they had to be parents they'd be terrible or very absent parents because of their lifestyle. You can't take your kids with you on death defying missions and they'd be too lonely on the ship anyway without friends and such. So if you leave em at the Nexus you'd be that absent parent that is never home and if your companion is the partner then both parents are never home.Maybe, just like real life, people should think about what it means for the child to be brought into your life, rather than focusing on how much you want a kid. It's just not fair to the kid really and just plain selfish.I'm sure some people will get upset over my opinion but I firmly believe it's more important to focus on what sort of life you bring a child into rather than just have babies and hope for the best. In Shepard's and Ryder's case their lives are really not compatible with family life.

Dude! Whatcha talkin about man? Liam being the bundle of energy that he is would very likely become the space version of Super Nanny... between him and Peebee I'm pretty sure the kids on the ship would be raised to be mega pranksters, especially when uncle Gil gets mixed in on it 🙂

Well, the whole thing of romancing was never about having kids, its just something to live for or fight for or something like that, i tend to not bother with it, since it tends to not do much for the story, i mean i only romance enough for the achievement, i just never feel the need for the romance aspect. Though i do have a soft spot for PeeBee, though it is also about the whole blue skin...i like blue.

Yes @infamous991 An Asari/Human hybrid would always be an asari because thats how they reproduce. They send some kind of signal through their skin that connects to the others mind and thats melding. They take one gene from the other and one gene from themselves and then thats done. Then you have an asari child. It is wierd.

Not to spoil part of the game but... at a point in the game it's explained why there's no kids around, nor are there going to be any children until "To be determined". However that could bring up a scary dynamic, would Peebee/Cora/Etc be taken out of game next time around if they got pregnant & you transferred the game to the next one? Or would you have the embarrassing "Meet your daddy" from the Asari reporter on the Nexus?

True what you say @JamieK81. But it would be more fun and rewarding and maybe make more to the story in the future if they add it. It would be useful too.

P.S. i also have that soft spot for Peebee 😇, actually for most Asari. Just like the way they made them and the way they work. Would definitely want to play as one in the future.

Well, i doubt it would work, i mean every single Asari is a biotic, so that means we wouldn't have a choice in classes, it would be...adept, Sentinel or Vanguard......pure tech or pure soldier wouldn't be possible.

Though it would be cool if they did Mass Effect games and you see the prospective of the Asari, Turians and so on, it would be cool to see.

It would also be cool if they did a 4X game in the Mass Effect Universe...like Master of Orion, though it would be best if they outsourced it to a company familiar with the Genre

I dont really know how they could make it logical with the kits. maybe you could choose race in the start and if you play asari you get a bonus to biotics. That would make most sense. But

c´mon Bioware. Asaris can mate with every species and every gender. How? (looking at you Peebee!).

But i am still hoping on a child system in future games because it would just be a fun thing to have an asari daughter. BTW doesn't melding connect the two persons? That would technicaly mean that if you have sex with an asari you would get better at biotics?

I think it would add an interesting twist to the game. And if BioWare plans on developing this story further (haven't beat the game yet so not sure how it ends yet) then it is something to look at when developing the next installment...if they plan on making another installment.

I think they should focus on fixing some of their other issues first...but I can see where this could not only add a new element to the game but would make it more personable as well. Which to me is one of the things that make this game so unique and able to be replayed multiple times.

Hello @Drecq @Hydrated1008 @JamieK81

Interesting take on the plot. I would love to play as other species in the future as well. And if we are talking about Asari/Human hybrid, it will solve the problem of having a biotic power as a natural ability.

Cheers,

Archi

Wouldn't a human/Asari hybrid be a well Asari. That's how they reproduce right? In the game you find out who peebee father was, and to say the least she looks nothing like him. I always believed that all Asari children were just Asari girls. Seeing that it's a all female race that can adapt to different mates of different races to reproduce.

@Pyro411 I dont even want to think about it... The thought that one of your favourite character got taken out of the game because you liked he/her so much. And no i have not come to that part in the game yet so i did not really know.
