As an on-topic matter, uh, the graphics don't look that sharp in that picture. The ground in particular looks really awful.
The ground is perfect, look at all that grey, it's so next gen it hurts. We just need to add 90 points of light bloom and it will be next next gen as well.

No no no. Light bloom was last gen.
This gen we need more ambient occlusion.
Ambient occlusion motherfuckers. Just look at it.
You are so last gen, it's not even funny.
Everyone knows that this gen is all about cloth tessellation.
I just now realized that somewhere out there is a poor soul who is half Asari and half-Volus/Hanar.
Well, somewhat. Don't the Asari just take some of the better traits from the "father" and pass it on to the "daughter?" And they are always Asari, not some weird melding. I remember a conversation with Liara where she says she's ashamed to be a "pure-blood" Asari since that is frowned upon.
Great Odin's Raven...I keep wanting to get a completionist run finished, but those "Find These Things" quests are just so damned time consuming! Maybe I'll pick it up on my 60 runs with my other characters...
If you're doing them just in case they will give you a bonus in ME2, don't. One of the devs said not to worry about it when I asked earlier.

Yeah. Basically. You won't be getting any weird freaks of nature, just good ol' tentacle heads.
I'm still holding out hope that that is discovered to be complete bullshit that has become sort of a religion for the Asari and in reality, it is just basically asexual reproduction unless between two Asari.

Why does no one fucking sell the Human Light version of Colossus armour? It's driving me fucking mad, I've got the Heavy and Medium version, I've got the Krogan one, I've got a set for Tali but for some reason it's impossible to find the one I need.
Man that's the PC version, using DX11. That's not console gaming, and thus not bound by the definitions of 'gen' or 'next gen'.
PC gaming has had every graphical nicety five years before consoles pick it up. The Master Gaming Race shouldn't factor in to the trials and tribulations of the console peasants.

The reward for "Bringing Down the Sky" is a set of it, your choice of version.

Indeed good sir, but the generations are defined by the age we live in, not the age we've lived in five years ago when the casual peasants became entrapped within time.
Thus, we measure generations by the strong and the superior.
Seriously though, the game's not even out yet. But still, the hardware and software support for those actions is readily available today. Win7 was just released, and Radeon 5000 series just launched, so it's just in time for calling it "current gen".
It literally stopped being "next gen" this, or the previous week.
True enough sir. But I was talking about the defining graphical technique of a generation. As with light bloom in the last. While we will definitely see a lot of tessellation this generation, I don't think we will look back and think 'that was the tessellation generation'. I think either ambient occlusion or all of that shader nonsense in UE3 will be the hallmarks. Next gen, everything will be tessellated out the ass.

It doesn't make any goddamn sense for them to be somehow able to take "good" traits from the father.
That's why I made sure the ME1 codex noted the "evidence" for this is only anecdotal. Because it is bullshit.
Side note: I love you guys and your occluded dirt cloth hasselhoffilations.
I'm waiting for the first motherfuckers to figure out how to do proper ambient lighting. I'm getting pretty tired of in-game ambient lighting where the camera has to be in the light source in order to see anything.

Ah-ha! Now I have an overwhelming desire to rub this in their tentacled faces, and no, that is not because I am bitter that asari can get jiggy with all the hot alien men that FemShep can't, don't judge me.

So... Asari gets mentally stimulated by another living orgasm, and then orgasms from the stimulation, creating a MIND BABBY all on its own.
Sounds good enough.
Also, Asari hair needs tessellation.
I like to think of it as the orgasm triggering the asexual reproduction when it does not occur with another Asari. When it does occur with another Asari, the genetic information is transferred from the touching somehow. I'm guessing something like bacterial conjugation.

I like to think of it as one BioWare artist cut and pasting a model in maya from one place to another and changing the colour hue by about 5%.

I like to think of the lack of differences between them being a result of the lack of genetic diversity that will doom them all unless they start mindsexing each other.

In my attempts to understand Asari biology I came to the conclusion that they reproduced in a manner similar to a bacteria.

What. Explain that further plox?
You've played GTAIV, right? Ever notice how when running around at night without a direct lightsource (like vehicle headlights) or standing under a streetlight how it's really, really dark? Think of any place in South Alderney or that kind of alley next to LC's version of Grand Central Station where you can grab an M4...
Sure you can adjust brightness and such, but that just tends to wash out everything and it makes the daylight that much brighter. The human eye can adjust to use available light to see. Camera/mechanical eyes, which is really what we're using whilst playing games, must have the light sources properly adjusted before 'filming'.
Some games have an effect when going from dark areas to light areas where everything is brighter for a moment or two. It's a decent start. But as long as there is a decent lightsource, such as a streetlight, you should be able to see the area even if you're not standing under the light itself.

The idea of hunting Geth in the jungle appeals to me.
No no no. Light bloom was last gen.
This gen we need more ambient occlusion.
Ambient occlusion motherfuckers. Just look at it.
You are so last gen, it's not even funny.
Everyone knows that this gen is all about cloth tessellation.
Next gen is going to be tessellation and the gen after that, ray tracing.

No, it's this gen.
EAT YOUR WORDS. EAT THEM AND CHOKE ON THEM UNTIL YOU DIE!
What an age we live in...maybe one day we'll be able to get hair that isn't a bitch to render...
...one day.

Makes romancing Liara a bit tricky.
