    Well they're not really maidens if they have sex all the time.
    In fact I'd say that they're not maidens as soon as they have sex at all.

    So either Samara lied...or she ran around a bunch of times saying "EMBRACE ETERNITY"

    I kind of find the later option more amusing.

    I would find it funnier

    You probably didn't have enough 'strong' characters like Grunt, Garrus and Zaeed HOLDING THE LINE to protect the squishy characters like Mordin

    For a guaranteed alive Mordin either have him in your party at the end boss or send him off with the crew

    Asari: Worst Species or Worstest Species?

    I feel like they would have been decent if they were used as a contrast for Liara. A race of sluts! Except for the one you get. Only she's a slut too. Damn.

    Man, you guys only find loose women so often because you look for them. John "Renegade" Shepard, he doesn't fraternize with no one. His heart belongs to the stars and vengance.

    It's funny in ME1 some girls flirt with male Shepard, but in ME2 basically every nice looking girl in the ENTIRE GALAXY wants to get with him. Dude is so pimpin even the krogan want him.

    He's Sheperd. Do people not remember that the entire first game the major complaint was that he couldn't get his gay on ergo the player-base was projecting the strong desire to have sex with him by proxy.

    This is basically what
    Morinth does to you if you don't have high enough points. And actually that would be a pretty damn messed up thing to seriously deal with in a computer game anyway: Asari rape.

    It's fucking terrifying once you sit back and realize that
    that shit is made out of people

    Even then its more

    Well, that's sex to an asari.

    I'm just saying that Maiden means virgin, so as soon as an asari has mindsex with someone they're not really a maiden they're just in the "maiden" stage of their lives, which I say doesn't count, they're now in their trollop stages of their lives and just lying to themselves.

    Asari can't really do it the normal way, since, if what I"m told is correct, they don't have .. how you say, uglies with which to bump, so the normal sex definition doesn't really fit for them.

    Budding is my guess, others have guessed fragmentation or spores as well.

    We all figure it has something to do with the head tentacles.

    Actually, "maiden" just means unmarried girl/woman. It doesn't have any specific conotation to sexual experience, although some attribute/liken it to virginity.

    So the "maiden" stage of an Asari does seem like a logical name.

    Maiden, used as an adjective, has a denotation of not yet being married, as well as virginity.
    Maiden used as a noun has virgin as a connotation to me due to the adjective's meaning.

    To steal the definition from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

    Main Entry: maiden
    Function: adjective
    Date: 14th century

    1 a (1) : not married <a maiden aunt> (2) : virgin b of a female animal (1) : never yet mated (2) : never having borne young
    2 : of, relating to, or befitting a maiden
    3 : first, earliest <a ship's maiden voyage> <the maiden flight of a spacecraft>

    They're aliens, their breasts could be filled with eezo for all we know.

    they have two lumps of fleshy-like stuff on their chest areas that highly resemble breasts
