I see it this way: if I'd have pulled of what she did, I'd be acting pretty cocky myself. Not to mention a lot of what she does is posturing to help keep her position as Queen of Omega. Thugs and criminals see acting humble as a sign of weakness while being brash and brazen usually makes them think twice. Self-absorbed is also par for the course in that walk of life.

Aria is the Walter White of Omega.

Walter White? Lemme look that up.
Edit: Oh, I think I see what you mean.

Thugs and criminals see acting humble as a sign of weakness while being brash and brazen usually makes them think twice. Self-absorbed is also par for the course in that walk of life. True, if she's just another thug lackey, but she's the "Queen of Omega" and unfortunately what's missing from her is some sort of magnificent bitch trait, that could define her character as a reason why she managed to get Omega in her grubby little purple hands. When I mean the "Magnificent Bitch" traits things like intelligence, pragmatic actions (seriously, if I were her, I would shoot Archangel to the nip of the bud before the game starts.) and... well, just look at the Magnificent Bastard page on TV tropes and you see what I'm trying to get. Now, I'm not saying she had to be nice to be a likable character. One of my favourite characters is the protagonist from Lady Snowblood. She's a real bitch I'd tell you, but her character is interesting and slightly relatable enough to like her... most of the time. The point is that, even with the comics, Aria is a loss potential as a syndicate iron lady, hence that's why I find her character is not well written, no thanks to BioWare's poor execution. Although to be fair, I'm coming off a little bias and not giving a chance with her nor the DLC due to the fact that Aria is Mac Walter's darling. Unfortunately I hate author's darlings. So take my options with a gain of salt, but that doesn't change the fact that is still an sore eyesight for me.

The Star Wars Dark horse comics are amazing so yeah!
As for Aria...i think she is alright. in a way I think she should;ve acted a bit more like the Patrician from Discwrold, although i think that may have clashed with her personality a bit.

Well, Dark Horse made some good Avatar Interquel comics from what I have heard so far. So I can't really blame DH by that much.

Here's a recent picture of the Omega DLC, courtesy of the ME3 News twitter page. <humor> No, Omega's not blowing up and it's not at the New York City Convention. </humor>

*casts Raise Dead on the thread* Well, holy crap! Screenshots for the female turian (courtesy of the ME3News Twitter page) The lighting on the second picture makes her look a little strange, methinks. I'll ask ME3News for the source when I get the chance.

Neah... I'll stick my version of female turians in my head, thanks. *bludgeons this thread to death... again*

Meh, I think looks too much like the male turian and the clothes look too much like what the humans would wear.

Hm... *casts Raise Dead on the thread* Well, holy crap! Screenshots for the female turian (courtesy of the ME3News Twitter page) ... I dunno about you guys, but I think this actually looks kinda badass. Yeah. I have to admit, I kinda like the in-game female turian design. *braces for tomatoes*

Meh, I think looks too much like the male turian and the clothes look too much like what the humans would wear. That's the whole point, I'm making them indistinguishable from the males. That what Gamble once mention that female turians are almost similar to males. Guess this de-bunked... but who cares, I'm not going to change it and suit yourself, I have no intention to keep up with ME lore again. EDIT: One more thing, since Gamble's answer about female turians were debunked by another BioWare "insider", I think I have made my point. Not even creators were sure about their own canon, let alone some ME canon militant fan fic writer. Hence another reason why ME canon should not be taken seriously. It's a fricken joke these days.

I agree with Tillian that the lack of head fringes are actually in fact lore breaking. Those are there to protect them from skin-scale cancer whatever from the solar radiation of their homeworld. Unless they are removing them out of a sense of style like a haircut I find this strange.
Also Garrus indicated that female turians should have fringes. Afterall he tries to compliment fem shep on that basis.
Bah! Whatever, it seems that Bioware is intent on kneecapping their own setting. Who are we to stop them./

whatever the case, I like the look on them. Any chance this might be the female, Garrus had his reach-flexibilty thing with?
