1. Both have suffered enormous losses resulting from their failed attempts at committing large scale war crimes.
2. Both have static populations, the Krogan because of the genophage and the Quarians because of the limits imposed by the lack of a planet and the size the Migrant Fleet.
3. Both have stagnant cultures, unable to find a way to move forward and build a new future for themselves. They merely recycle the old, not inventing or creating anything new. (Not counting Wrex's plan here, since that is dependent on ME1 choices by player).
4. Both tend to have fixations on retaliation against the ones they blame for their predicament, the Krogans wanting a go at the Salarians and Turians; the Quarians wanting one more shot at wiping out or re-enslaving the Geth. IOW, neither one seems to have learned any positive lesson from their tragedy.
5. Both are dangerously close to extinction, mostly due to their inability to shake off past behavior patterns and commit to a different kind of future.
6. Both refuse to mend bridges in any way that might win them allies and help, particularly with the Council. If either the Krogan or the Quarians just went before the Council, owned up to their past mistakes and asked to be permitted to come back and open provisional or probationary Citadel embassies, they might just be approved and be able to start to making some useful connections and even alliances.
7. Both have enormous contributions they could be making to Galactic civilization, if they could just grow up a bit and learn how to be part of that Galactic civilization. The Krogans have the best infantry in the known galaxy, and the Quarians have the best technical engineers.
Am I reading too much into this? And if not, isn't it kinda odd that neither one seems to identify with the other on any level, at least so far as we have seen in ME1 and ME2?
