Humans are badass.
We need to hire quarians to build us a Super Dreadnaught to one-up that lame "Destiny Ascension"

At least we know the greatness of the quarian people.
ANY species that can birth someone like Tali'Zorah is alright in my book.
Not to mention that ancient quarians built that 20Km long space station (that the Geth now use)
That's huge! That's half the length of a Citadel Ward, or 3x longer than the Presidium's diameter.

First off, I am LEAD of NOTHING. Leads don't generally have time to hang out on the board.
This
is actually a trickier question than you might think. The basic issue
here is that the project is fluid enough that no one writer HAS
everything about an area. We're all part of a team, and saying "I wrote
_____" gives the impression that nobody else did any work on that area.
Which is a not-true impression in almost all cases.
For example,
what if someone else planned a level, but I wrote that level? What if
someone else did a rough draft, but I rewrote it from the ground up
after we switched off who was doing what? It's murky, and that
murkiness makes it really easy for it to look like I'm taking credit
for some other writer's incredibly hard work.
(And this says
nothing about other departments at all. Some of my favorite character
moments have no words in them -- they're moments where, to use a
football metaphor, I just lofted the ball up there and trusted that a
Cinematic Designer would do something awesome. And then there's the
unique art that makes every follower into someone who is going to stand
out in a crowd, and the level design that gives your follower a chance
to shine, and... so on.)
So, with all those disclaimers:
You've
seen that the structure of the game is built around the squad. Finding
them, recruiting them, keeping them alive. We tried to divide up our
writing by squad member, then, instead of by planet.
I was
very deeply involved (as in, either wrote their plot or did an
almost-ground-up rewrite) with two followers -- Tali'Zorah and one you
haven't seen yet. When the lead writers had to give up some of their
followers in order to tackle more of the critical path of the game
(critpath == the main story sections, analogous to "Eden Prime" or
"becoming a Spectre" in terms of not being a normal planet, but having
a ton of focused attention on it), I finished off the work that they
had started on a couple of other squad members, specifically parts of
Miranda and another unannounced follower.
On top of that, I was
lucky enough to get to write some of the fun roleplaying plots, like I
got to do on ME1. And I've been the writer working with the combat guys
on sound sets ("ENEMIES EVERYWHERE!"), so I wrote most of the generic
talking enemies you'll hear in the game. And lately I've been working
on journals (though our awesome QA guys, who know every plot in the
game, actually put in most of the raw data, so it was just a "Make sure
they all sound kinda samey" pass) and the paragon/renegade pass.
That
may sound like a lot, but every writer on the project has to wear a lot
of hats. The leads spent a ton of time carefully honing the critical
path of the game, helping to cast major characters and sit in on their
recording sessions, and keep everything on track. We've got (I think)
more roleplaying plots in this game than we did in the last game, and
almost everyone worked on some of those. We've got a galaxy map filled
with planets, a bunch of new codex entries, lots of item descriptions,
and so on... along with things we haven't announced yet.
So we've all managed to keep busy.

When you had to choose a fire team leader, I chose Garrus because he was the obvious choice. I was hoping for a short segment where you play as Garrus considering that Joker was playable and Dragon Age did the same thing.RiptideX1090 wrote...
I'd rather experience more of that as Shepard.
Some characters are better suited for being at the helm of a video game. Garrus would work because his story is ambigous, but has a clear beginning, a clear middle, and a clear end as Archangel. He left for Omega, built a Team, then lost them and went on a rampage to take out three seperate mercenary companies. It has more potential, to investigative gameplay like in Condemned, to first person tactical combat ala Rainbow Six Vegas.
Tali just isn't suited for that, in my opinion.

We'll call it the Deathstar.
Because it's a seriously badass name, and none of the other races (except maybe some of the nerdier salarians) will get the reference.

The quarians make badass ships, that's for sure.
They have ships that lasted for over 3 hundred years?
Most cars don't make it a decade.

Who names these ships anyway?
None of them are particularly fierce.

Despite their limitations, the quarians are pretty much badass.
Maybe it's because of them that I find them so cool.
I dunno.
. . .think I could get some work aboard the flotilla? Maybe they could use another tech. I could provide my own food, wouldn't need a clean room, I could get supplies from Illum and other such space ports for the ships without scrutiny.
Maybe I could save up enough to have a custom-built quarian style suit. . . Yeah. . .
