I'm happy with this, the artist didn't just slap a pair of boobs on a male looking turian and called it female  I really hope they don't have any though , we already have two species of aliens with breasts, that's enough now. turians , salerians and krogans are too reptilian/amphibious looking so its illogical to make them have the autonomy of a female mammal. Drell on the other hand...that's debatable but there are other ways to show gender difference without resorting to boobage ...or a pink bow.

I thought the proportions were really good, and thought was put into little physical differences, like markings and fringe length, collar and neck thickness.  And I like the plates instead of breasts.
but no, no pink bow


As far as being mammals wiki refers to them more as bird/reptile like creatures with gizzards.

ah thanks. I wasn't quite sure, what they were compared to.

And yeah, I like the idea, that female Turians don't have bewbies, although I am quite interested in their erogenous zones....for science reasons of course.

Well  I was told from someone who owned an umbrella cockatoo that she doesn't stroke her bird bellow the head because apparently the head is an ok preening area whereas stroking the rest of the body is too over stimulating for the cockatoo and other parrots.Having their body continuously stroked is like third base for them LOL

mhm! I remember that from birds as well....and I like the idea of that for Turians xD

Considering that they are ALWAYS covered up, maybe their bodies are more sensitive to touch? Maybe it is a true sign of intimacy for a turian to touch bare skin and vise versa because simple things like stroking or hugs mean more to them?

Not much love of the boob when it comes to discussing female turians. Although I do like a nice boob (artistically speaking).

Yeah I think this works for me!  A lot of discussion of turian "plates" makes me think that where they meet might be extra sensitive, like a true erogenous zone.

works for me as well. actually, even better than the Turian-Predator thing.

I highly doubt that there will be during the DLC, judging from the discussion with Liara on Illium she seem a bit overly obsessed over the Shadow Broker right now. So I think she will be still in that state of mind through the mission.

Especially since not everyone may get the DLC, I don't think we will see any effects of bailing on your ME1 romances for ME2 until ME3.

Yes, that's probably what's going to happen, but I'll still consider it completely unrealistic that your ME2 LI doesn't comment in some way, shape or form on your relationship with Liara, if you romanced her in ME1. Especially since this is, apparently, a post-SM DLC. That means Omega 4 already happened, and for all the ME2 LI knows (and for all we know), nothing was ever resolved between Shep and a romanced Liara. I mean, they kissed on Illium and there was no "oh by the way, I'm sorry but it's over."

So while I know that there probably won't be any kind of acknowledgement (especially since Overlord...weren't we promised more dialogue in that? ), and while I understand why, it still seems awkward to me.

Of course, none of my Sheps will have that problem, since they avoided the Liara romance like the plague.

Soooo I just got home from seeing Inception. Great movie! It's one of those movies that I want to see, think about, see again, think about some more... etc. Also, Leo DiCaprio really gets better looking with the years. lol.

He really does, doesn't he?  Although I kept getting distracted by both the guy who played Arthur and the guy who played Eames. But especially Arthur *remembers the totally epic no-grav scuffle* 

But yeah, if that film doesn't at least get nominated for a bunch of Oscars (might not be any of the acting ones, but scenario/screenplay and visuals at least), I shall be disappoint.

And as for turian classification, I see them as being sort of half-way between reptiles and birds.  Like birds I think they are warm blooded and digest things about the same way (gizzards.)  Like some reptiles, however, I think they have live young and have a slightly more.....eh, advanced reproductive system (more than just a cloaca.)  I don't think they have a proper earth analogue except maybe with some extinct critter or other that I have never heard of.

The Cerberus Network recently mentioned turian twins. As it is far more likely for a live-birthing species to produce twins than an egg-laying species, there's now a very strong likelihood that turians have live births. That would mean no cloaca.

 I've always gone with the outie theory but when I saw that I am reconsidering.....

I'm a proponent of innie myself.  Only thing is that I think a turian would still have to be able to *ahem*....extend by will or how do you explain peeing turian when Shep gets wasted at Dark Star?

*looks around nervously as everybody is giving her funny looks*  What?  I din't say anything.

As for female turians, I prefer the one in the NSFW thread except for the weird color splotches on her belly.  If anything, I would think it would be the other way around as in avian species the male tends to be more colorful than the female.

I do think, that they can, ya know, get it out from their protective plates somehow. I don't think it's that difficult.

Yeah, I was actually thinking the same about the colours. If there were colours at all, then it would be the males that are more colourful to impress the females.

I don't see Turians as just warm blooded though. If we go for biological terms here, I'd go for poikilothermal. I still have Garrus in mind saying that Turians don't like the cold.

[ReiSilver]

I was watching a show on birds of prey the other day and they talked about how some of them see on the infra-red spectrum which humans can't see.

It would be a really easy out for bioware to say male and female turians actually do look different but it's subtle things paired with drastically different markings on the infra-red spectrum.

Wouldn't a species based on that have issues on longevity and brain capability? (Knowledge Memory of knowledge based on long ago learning here, mind.)

how so? Only because their body temperature depends on their enviroment, doesn't mean they can't evolve.

I think Garrus saying "turians don't like the cold" could just as well be like me saying it.  As I'm from Texas and think anything below 70 degrees is freezing, I can sympathize.  As for all the clothes wearing, well we have several alternate theories for that.  Like the one somebody mentioned further up about erogenous zones.  It's also possible they do it to avoid accidental injury (gloves.)  There was also a Cerberus News update about a turian accidentally nicking a human's carotid artery with his talons and the human bleeding out...oops, shoulda warn some gloves pal.  It could also just be a cultural thing.  Most of what I know about evolution and zoology (little I admit) tend to suggest that most higher order critters are warm blooded.  Consider how salarians are warm-blooded even though they are amphibians.

Those are some very good points. If turians were significantly dependent on ambient temperature for their bodily temperature, I can imagine they'd be somewhat restricted in their spacefaring abilities. It not exactly warm out in space, and there's no sunlight on a spaceship. Yet, Garrus may complain about the cold on Noveria, but it certainly doesn't seem to impede any of his physical functions: he still fights and moves just as well as anywhere else. Plus the fact that he says "don't like the cold" really suggests preference rather than a biological necessity to stay away from the cold. Since turians are originally from a very hot planet, it just stands to reason that they'd find cold environments more uncomfortable. But not that cold environments are handicapping on a biological level, which they probably would be for a cold-blooded species.

Umm, it might work for Palaven actually. Depends on whether or not it's a fairly stable overall climate. As it's a hotter planet than Earth (as hot as Therum/Virmire), there'd be less need tfor body heat regulation and more energy for brain power (compared to terran versions which dedicate a lot of energy that would be used for brain power to regulating their metabolism).

It'd stuff 'em up some when they went off world though.

And re: turian claws. Asari don't have that much tougher skin, surely? You'd think in the past 1000+ years they'd have come up with claw covers (and designer ones, of course) or something.
