One thing I've been thinking about since I saw the Shadow Broker, is I hope ot see more of the Yahg in ME3.

[mjh417]

Awesome videos for sure. The creation of the various races and characters is an awesome topic to explore that I hope GI and Bioware keep giving us more of

[AlbertoAquilani]

Awesome series! I'm loving these videos, even if they're light on ME 3 content I couldn't care less. They're fantastic insight into the creation of the series. I'm glad Bioware have gone this way for their HUB and not 'omg combat!!'

[KristinCousland]

VioletSparks,

You make a good point.

I want to see a female krogan making some waves. It seems Wrex was inspired by Ashley, so some female Urdnot out there giving combat some "flavour" should not be out of the question

[KristinCousland]

Alberto,

They might be light on ME3 content, but should put at least parts of the fan base at ease...

Oh and Alberto - please come back to Merseyside.

We miss you

I hope to see more about the lesser important species in the game. Maybe one day we'll see an elcor walking and actually doing something...

I like seeing new races and such (especially drell, they is awesome), but I would much prefer to see both genders of each race. It damages immersion to think that species that number in the billions and span the galaxy don't have any women? so they have to go back to their homeworlds to mate? and, we are going to most of the homeworlds in ME3, so it's inexcusable (even for the krogan). They haven't said anything either way on the inclusion of females in ME3... but i really hope so

Indeed. Showing more alien races, or reusing one that we've seen only once (yagh) is one thing, that I'd like. But before that happens, they should show the missing female ones. Especially Turian females should be somewhat common. And while female Salarian or Krogan are rarer, once you visit their homeworlds, there are enough opportunities to meet them.

You can see an elcor walking in the Presidium.

Go to the human embassy and look.

Being a fan of the Bard, I would loooove to see the Elcor play.  At least some choice highlights.

We know London is being invaded.  How about their attack interrupting the galaxy premier of the Elcor Midsummer Night's Dream.

I really enjoy behind the scenes glimpses of Mass Effect development, and I love how enthusiastic all the developers are. Awesome stuff!

Some of those Asari concepts would work perfectly for Quarians.

[Apollo Starflare]

Very much enjoying these updates, I seem to remember GI did this for Skyrim as well. I'm guessing it's a regular feature of theirs? Good to see BioWare taking advantage of it.

Absolutely fantastic videos, I can't express how happy I am that BioWare is moving more into this side of advertising, it's incredibly smart, and the IP deserves this level of respect to the artists, Bravo BioWare!

I'm hoping they include them all in the Collector's Edition.

Indeed, this is precisely the sort of stuff that belongs in the collector's edition

Agreed. Making of's are sadly underutilized by the games industry currently, a game like ME3 would be perfect for one. For a whole host of featurettes in fact. I know they are planning a big uber collectors set for the third game's release, but should they be doing a 'normal' collector's edition I would love to see one put out that is similar to what we would expect from a special edition of a concluding FILM in a trilogy. Interviews with the team, behind the scenes, retrospective stuff, looking ahead stuff. Unlike a complete directors/cast commentary that stuff seems very possible to me and I for one would love to see it.

[N7 Vanguard]

I never would of guessed they got the concept of krogans from bats, but after looking at the original design you can tell completely. Pretty awesome stuff.

[habitat 67]

That was one of the aspects I remember loving about the Lord of the Rings Collector's Editions. The behind the scenes features were as long if not longer than the movies themselves, and every part of production was included. Yes, how the costume designers worked with the writing team, fight scene choreographers and the initial conceptual sketches down to the final used shots of Mordor was amazing to me, and you could really get a feel of not only the technical skill but also the love and dedication towards the end product. This stuff doesn't just happen overnight!

Guess that's why I get so miffed when certain people can't stop complaining about some (or every, gah) aspect they particularly disagree with.

I strongly suspect both Salarian and Turian females will be in ME3. We've seen the (a?) female design for Turians in ME: Evolution. It wouldn't involve too much more than a headswap, really. I think it would be hilarious if female Krogan looked (maybe even sounded) just like the males!

I really liked the designer talking about Batarian design. They had something more non-human, but it needed to fit the combat skeleton, so they squished it into the proper dimensions. Ha! I always thought they looked a little too human - now I know why!

[atraxia]

Awesome video! So far these GI videos have been pretty good I love hearing about the behind-the-scenes process, especially the art stuff. I would love to see these vids (or something in the same vein as these vids) in the collector's edition. The games industry does need to utilize this more.

Man.. never knew krogans were based off bats though. I've always thought they were frog-turtle-men.

They haven't said much on females, although they did talk about it in one of the previous vids. It sounds like females will feature in ME3, along with some other new races.

[Dominus]

The video was like Bill Nye the science guy - Educational, yet very enjoyable. Seeing where they originally pulled the ideas and how they shaped into what the current look turned into is very interesting.

I suppose this means a krogan is...batman? :-p

[armass]

I can't see the bat either in krogan, i can see the turtle but the bat, no way. A picture of the bat would be nice to reference.

So i guess they confirmed, more new alien races? Raloi, prothean survivors, maybe something completely new?

Probably something completely new, like the vorcha or the yahg. 

[ThatDancingTurian]

I know there have been some things that have been designed and built that have not been in Mass Effect 1 and 2.

Am I the only one that thought maybe he was talking about the much requested females as opposed to (or in addition to) entirely new species?

It was very interesting, but in the Garrus video about 7:44 in did anyone notice the model buildings in the background by the white board? I saw the Eiffel Tower, Tower of London, Big Ben, Notre Dame, Great Pyramid, Aztec Pyramid and a Chinese Pagoda.

edit - typo

[Bluko]

Always cool to see sort of videos. Surprised we haven't seen more of them until now.

[Cancer Puppet]

Sounds as though the devs want to put more than one or two new species in. I guess it will depend on what is practical in relation to the time remaining to the fine folks at bioware.

I think this is the best way to get new fans to the series, is presenting Mass Effect for what it is, a massive collaboration of artists

Totally agreed. As a recent convert, it saddens me to read implications that this isn't the sort of thing BioWare had been doing since the start of the series. It really pulls me in to the point that if I hadn't already been 'irreversably contaminated', these videos would have done the trick. Major props to Game Informer as well; they seem to have really made a name for themselves lately.

I wonder if there will be another 'Sy versus Fy' for Mass Effect 3. I enjoyed watching the one for ME2 many months before I got the games, big-time science fiction fan as I am. But I don't think the network has made any of those in a while, so the odds are... slim.
