A closer look
When building an epic space opera filled with horrific cybernetic reapers and militaristic turtles, Bioware knew exactly what their nerdy audience really wanted: Captain Kirk's fantasy. The all-female Asari were deliberately colored blue and given vaguely human, hyper-attractive features to lean heavily into the 1960s pulp science fiction trope of the seductive alien babe. Sometimes, deep worldbuilding takes a backseat to blatant fan service.
