I gotta laugh at all the people who hate the Asari just because they're fanservice.  That's essentially saying: "I don't like them because other people like them!" or "I don't like them because I'm supposed to like them!"  It's juvenile, really.  Are the Asari any more fanservicy than the Drell or the Quarians?

Anyway, my favorite is probably either the Turians or the Salarians, simply because they strike me as the most realistic biologically and ideologically.

Least favorite has to be the Vorcha.  There's no real depth to them, it's like they are meant to be cannon fodder and nothing more.  We already have mechs for that.

That would just be another reason to dislike them though: because of the way they're forced on you.  Like I said I don't hate any species, but Asari are one of my least favorite, just because they don't seem very interesting and yes, the way they're forced everywhere on the player.  I don't really see how Quarians or Drell are fanservice?

Well consider how every time you meet Quarians outside the fleet, you have to save them.  Every time.  They give you the knight-in-shining-armor role for each and every one, regardless of gender.  Smells like fanservice to me.  The Drell were introduced in this game largely because of Thane.  Think about it, what story purpose does Thane serve?  How useful is he in the long run?  Not very, but he is hot!  Fanservice much?  There's a reason why so many FemShep players like him so much.

Now the Asari are fanservice, no question.  Does that make me like them less?  Not really, I can see their merits outside of the whole "blue space babes" thing.  They're an interesting species, and the main reason people claim not to like them is because they look "too human."  Yet you never see this objection raised against Drell or Batarians, who are largely human as well, just not quite as close.  They're the same size as humans, walk bipedal and upright, have five fingers, even have the same proportions.

I don't know, just the idea of your least favorite race being the one that was designed to be likable, based on that alone, just seems petty.  It seems very "rebellious teenager" to me.  It seems to say "screw you Bioware!  I don't care how awesome you make the Asari, because you tried to make me like them, I hate them!"  That said, sometimes the fanservice can get pretty blatant, but it's nowhere near as bad as Miranda's ass.

Lets see.

Favourite would be yahg because they're awesome!!!!!! nah I like asari and turians evenly

Least favourite would be Vorcha because they have no character or depth, I also am not a big fan of Quarians simply because I don't like their personalities. I also despise volus because they're so whiny

You help a lot of Quarians: I wouldn't really call that fan-service?  They do have a lot of problems after all, what with their poor immune systems, the Geth, and everyone descriminating against them.  Thane was most certainly fan service, but I wouldn't say all Drell are (granted, we only know 3...)

I agree with you to an extant about the Asari, but it's more about how they're so pushed on the character as being this extremely seductive species.  I don't mind them, but I can see how everyone always going crazy over them (I'm talking in the game) could be pretty annoying.  It's pretty hard to escape that sentiment too, as you pretty much run into Asari strippers everywhere.

But yeah, I'm surprised the cover of ME 2 wasn't just a picture of Miranda's ass.

Least Favorite: Humans

volus getting bad rep here i see!
Favourite: If i had to choose i say salarian... and geth.... and volus!.... and humans.... and collector.... and yeah you get the idea....

Sad that so many hate the volus i think they are cool. they are cynical, depressed, funny and sometimes downright bastards wich make them so awesome! I'd like to see them in a more serious role in the third one

[vendo_23]

The weird thing is...I don't dislike any of them. I have some favorites, which include Geth, Asari, Human, Drell, Krogan, Turian...the main ones really. I don't dislike any races because all of them make up the Galaxy, and there's a certain beauty in the diversity. Obviously I love the "main" races more than, say, Volus, because Volus weren't meant to be cool. Just like how the star wars galaxy has tons of races, some awesome, and some the Mos Eisley spaceport scum.

Each race brings something unique to the table.

[bernabn]

Like: Drell

Dislike: Hanar (i mean wth...)

[Therefore_I_Am]

For some reason the Hanar reminds me of that character from Aqua Teen Hunger Force... that 8-bit styled guy, forgot his name.

[stu117]

Krogans are the best!!! RAWR *headbutts brick wall*

[JRCHOharry]

Favourite: Humans and Salarians.

Least favourite: Batarians, Turians, Hanar and Quarians. Equally of course, I'm all for equality.

Can't believe people are hating on the Volus, they're our pudgy little pals

[ubermensch007]

My favorite alien race to date, is the Quarians I was so glad that we got to see and learn more about thier cuture and community in ME2 By all rights, after the Battle of the Citadel: I would have thought that the Council would have reinstated the Quarian Embassy on the Presidium.Tali Zorah's contributions to the salvation of the Citadel can not be under stated.If not for her, Shepard would have never become a Spectre in the first place and during my own campaign she was by my side more than not.In ME1 my primary fighting squad was comprised of Liara, Shepard and Tali...No quarian alive today, had anything to do with the Geth uprising centuries before.They have so much to offer, in cultural exchange and science and technology...

My least favorite race, would have to be the Yahrg...Reading the files on them in 'The Lair of the Shadow Broker'.They are more violent bloodthirsty and hostile to than even the Krogan are.What they did during thier planets 'First Contact' made the Councils embargo on thier world most justified!! But i fear that b/c they are now prisoners of thier homeworld, this will make it easy for the Reapers to tempt them to join them .They won't even have to use 'indoctrination'.The Salarians 'uplifted' the krogans. And in Mass Effect 3, the Reapers may 'uplift' the Yahrg.Since the Collectors are gone...They need to replinish thier numbers.

Favorite: Krogan and Salarian

Least Favorite: Vorcha and Volus

[QueenLexi]

Favorite: Turians, I think their design is very interesting. I like the distinctly alien look, they don't look at all like at all humans but are just as functional as them. Salarians too, for similar reasons.

Least Favorite: Asari. I like most of the Asari characters, but I don't like the design, just seems too unoriginal. I understand the need for fanservice, but they just go over the top. An all female, alien yet aesthetically human, sex loving race = space game/movie nerd's dream. They are attractive, but the fanservice thing doesn't appeal to me.

Also humans, I would agree with the other races on how unfair it is that humans are trying to push to the top of the government, despite having just achieved space travel.

Asari (Because hey, strippers) and Volus respectively. There's approximately one nice volus in the whole series, and that's the dude at the used ship vendor on the Citadel, and he's trying to sell you stuff.

[Garrus.Vakarian]

I never thought of this before but Turians look like eagles.

[lePlusCool]

I like the Geth, they seemed such a generic and, well, dull enemy. Turns out they are a beautiful and philosophic race of sentient machines. I loved the conversations with legion, there's really something to their way of life and logic especially. It feels real.

I don't like the batarians and Vorcha make me puke.

[-Tentei-]

Favorite-Hanar (Pleasant squid who have manars)

Least Favorite-Volus, except for Doran (Fat, smug little douche bags who can't even fight.)

[SgtPepper667]

Favorite: Turians. Yes.

Least favorite: Humans. Most (not all) of them are arrogant. I would like to know more about the vorcha and the other new species before I make a judgement on them, haha.

[-Tentei-]

Volus racism ftw!
