I wonder we are going to visit the homeworld from the asari, krogan, turian, salarian
and geth/quarian.
Ok, that´s nice but what about the batarians?
They have a lot of unused potential.

Yes the batarian husks named Cannibals are awesome but is that all?

By the way what about a batarian squadie?
That would be awesome too.

Will we learn more? Probably. Will it be a significant amount? Who knows.

One thing is certain. I definitely do not want a Batarian squad mate. They all look exactly the same.

You humans are all racists.



Anyway we do find out more about Batarians in Arrival.

They have four eyes and most of them are colossal pricks. What's more to tell?

Bioware so far tried to show different personalities for every species. Only the batarians are pretty similar so far. There is one that can be nicer if you save his life (Mordin's recruitment), and some who is even more bat**** insane than the others (especially Balak), but they all are pricks so far. I think we should see another side of them in ME3.

This is true. Bioware has made it seem like they're all pricks but according to a codex(or some place in ME2, don't remember) the only batarians that leave batarian space are criminals which don't accurately represent the average batarian citizen. With that said, even if we did find a batarian that wasn't a jackass we would still have that small little problem of differentiating him from every other batarian we've ever seen. Unless it was a female, which could be interesting, doubt this will happen though(Would probably end up looking exactly the same as every other batarian female).

Is it correct that 7 of the 9 possible backgrounds for Shepard had
do with the batarians?
Only a earthborn/sole survivor and spacer/ sole survivor hadn´t
a past with them.
And don´t forget Balak decision and of course Arrival.

I've learned that they're satisfying to use Slam on.

Slaves are an economic staple of their race and government.

I believe after commiting a war crime and nearly provoking given race to assault the Alliance, there will be quite some interaction with them.

Yeah i wasn't paying attention to the number.
You can never kill enough batarians though... I mean... I should go.

That may be a repetition but you humans are all racists. :whistle:
What is the most likely class for a batarian squadie?
Sniper, soldier or vanguard?

Judging by all those batarian mutant mooks they are probably getting their asses handed to them just like Earth. Maybe worst if the reapers don't want to make a new reaper out of them. The Reapers arrived in their territory first, right?

Oh is that so? I don't really pay too much attention to the codex so I didn't know. Even so, doesn't mean they're evil. One could say slavery was an economic staple of the U.S.(atleast in the south) just 150 years ago. Doesn't mean they were evil.

I suppose so, the Ancient Greeks had slaves/servants also but treated them well (except Sparta).

But since you don't read the CoDeX, you should know that Batarians abduct slaves by raiding and pillaging colonies and ships and placing them in cages. Then, drill and implant control chips into their heads without anaesthetic. Note that the Batarian Hegemony supports this. You could argue that the general population themselves are brainwashed with propoganda, but we'll just have to wait and see about that.

If I have anything to say about it, the batarian race will no longer exist after the reaper war. Shepard's children might learn a little about them in history class in a few decades. Other than that I don't really care about an entire race of slavers and criminals.

Fixed. It's unlikely that the entire race benefit from the slave trade. The batarians live under a harsh caste system where the majority of people are oppressed by surveillance and fed propaganda while living their miserable lives in poverty. It is likely the upper caste minority and the government itself that keeps the slaves, not the everyday lower caste batarians.

I don´t know but the reapers can´t kill them all. A survivor who wants justice can join Shepard
because my enemy´s enemy is my friend.

Pretty sure the Batarians were meant to be humanity's foil. What we could have become had we taken a different path (Kim Jong Il style).
