What part do you think the Rachni will play in ME3? It is possible that they now have a sizeable army to help fend off the Reaper  threat but what will become of them when the Queen is dead? We know she can reproduce without mating but can she birth any future queens? Assuming she cannot, she could go back to any previously Rachni inhabited worlds to acquire DNA and clone herself a suitable mate or it is possible that there are more eggs hidden somewhere in cryogenic suspension that she is aware of due to her mothers memories. Even if She was murdered on Noveria, this could be a plasusabe excuse to have the Rachni show up in ME3 regardless. Who knows, maybe the Rachni will show up in forthcoming ME titles, set in the past or future. Discuss.

New Information:

1. The decision in ME1 regarding the Rachni Queen is confirmed to have a visible impact in ME3.
2. Humans are not the only species that can be turned into Husk's. ME3 will feature Rachni and possibly other Husk foes.

They will try and Fail, Epicly. Like bugs on the windscreen.

WRONG! i know the rachni queen will do us right! they'll jump around and be all "BLARGH!!!! IMMA RACHNI!"

They're probably going to wind up as another arrow in your quiver-o'-fleets. They did say they'd come and help you out, so I'd imagine you're going to get some organic spaceships in your armada when you go up against the Reapers if you saved them.

If you didn't, you won't see them in ME3. Otherwise that whole decision in ME1 becomes cheapened, and they'd better not do that 'cause that was one of the coolest decisions to make.

I agree but I don't think that the Queen on Noveria was truly the last of her kind. There has gotta be mo eggs out there somewhere. When it comes to the prospect of future ME titles, the Rachni are just too cool to wipe. Although I can see the appeal of them being a footnote.

[TheEgoRaptor]

In my opinion they look retarded. Though I did save them for the sole purpose of being cannon fodder.

[Cpt Gr1f]

I believe they need to have a significant part otherwise it really shouldn't of impacted if you saved the queen or not. Maybe they will have a small fleet (Not sure they could amass a huge fleet in only a few years) but do something that would help them out in the long run.

[Adugan]

I like the Rachni. It would be pretty cool if they joined the council, or at least became a citadel dwelling race. Something non-humanoid for a change, not counting the Hanar.

[CannotCompute]

Rachni scout ships had already been spotted in ME2 (news report). So maybe they've already built up quite an army.

I think they will definitely help out in ME3 (with either vessels or ground forces, maybe even both).

Then can you please tell me WHAT should have an impact on the game? Because I'm getting that line a lot, really. 
 
To fit their argumentations, people say it to the point in which, after their minds, nothing should have a significant impact. 

And here I was listening to other people crying that no ME decisions has a real impact later on ME2 ( and possibly ME3).

There's really no way to determine what could make a significant impact in a mass effect game but I believe the Rachni need to have some sort of effect as to the outcome of the game or how it leads up to the ending. Otherwise it shouldn't have been such a huge decision to save them.

[padaE]

They will be easily indoctrinate by the reapers and will destroy dozen of worlds.

[CoolioThane]

Rachni? Cutey little alien sacks of fun. Remember that guy that got impaled by one, ONE Rachni soldier? That was cool, and I think they will be awesome to have on our side against the Reaper threat!

[volus is king]

what is rachni ppl????

[AdmiralCheez]

I think it will go something like this.

Shep: Hey, everybody! I found us new allies to fight the Reapers!
Rachni Queen: :3
Rest of Galaxy: >:|
Shep: ... What?

[CroGamer002]

^That!

[Mars Nova]

There's no way Bioware will do games set after ME3 that involve the rachni, since many players, myself included, killed the queen. 

[CroGamer002]

^We shall see.

[Mars Nova]

Like Gentleman Moogle said, if Bioware puts the rachni in future games, that makes the decision in ME1 pointless since the rachni will still be around regardless of what you do with the queen.

Debatable. The Rachni have a huge part in ME history, I don't see Bioware leaving them out of future titles just because Shepard 'could' have killed the Rachni Queen. And who's to say future titles won't be affected by previous game playthroughs?

I think the Rachni Queen decision on Noveria will carry over to ME3 simply because it was included in that godawful comic for the PS3 version.

And if they betray me? Well, I tried to be nice the first time... Same thing with Fist and Helena Blake.

[JKoopman]

I'm sure the Rachni Queen will send you a nice email or something in ME3. I wouldn't get your hopes up for much in the way of plot influence though. Fool me once, BioWare, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

The Rachni Queen isn't the last Rachni

If you paid attention in ME1 the Rachni are all over the Styx Theta Cluster because of the Cerberus experiments

They were birthed from the Queen on Noveria. At least I think they were? Pretty sure. Regardless, without a queen they will die out eventually. I did notice egg-looking things around the bases they attacked but even if Brood Warriors can mate with Soldiers it is unlikely as effective and they are brothers and sisters. That can't be good, but eh, alien insectoids.

[Diokletian600]

How many ships could the Rachni have by the time the Reapers invade? It actually takes an infrastructure to build something like that.

Sure, you could have some Rachni shock troops during ground combat, but in the end the Reapers are gigant sentient war ships and so you have to beat them in space (though obviously Mass Effect is a shooter and not Freelancer). It's the same issue I have with the krogan and their genophage issue being really that relevant during the battle with the Reapers. Sure, you get a few krogan bersekers fighting husks, but realistically the Rachni and the krogan could not be really that relevant to ME3, aside from a few cameo appearanced in cutscenes.

Realistically, it would take some time for them to reach a state where they are of galatic significance again.
