If you read me starting a post off with "the closest they ever got to being" interesting means I thought it was an example of an epic lore twist Bioware had planned all along, and not an unsupported side idea that is, in and of itself, pretty indicative of how shallow the lore surrounding the Asari is, that's on you.
Lilbro, I read your whole post and I replied to the whole post not half of the first sentence. I refuted that retarded horseshit being interesting and also your fanfiction about the heckin left hand not knowing the right hand, by saying that it's clearly a gag about drunk dudes making up shit and not some abandoned isolated soylore theory.
Mass Effect was created as a trilogy. They were already working on ME2 before the first one was out. Microsoft at one point was close to securing all three games exclusively. Microsoft actually published the first game themselves. In the end when the first game became popular EA got way more involved with the series and brought in new teams of writers and designers. They took the games multi-platform, emphasized shooting mechanics and less RPG elements, and even introduced multiplayer modes (as well as extensive DLC and MTX).
