The Rachni, it remind me on the zerg of starcraft, and because they are not humanoid looking for a change

All the species in general i find good, just the Quarians and Turians are less appealing to me

Quarians. I love the whole space gypsies thing.

A very close second would be Turians.

Geth by a mile.

They've broken the mold of AI = monsters. They're a deeply philisophical specie that is also a very peaceful specie when they aren't being attacked. Heck they think that every specie should be free to make themselves better without having someone trying to mess with you. Why can't we be like that?

No, Legion ruined the geth by humanizing them way too much. They aren't mysterious aliens anymore. They were the most alien species in the series in ME1. They were very distant and strange. We could see them and observe them but couldn't interact with them. It seemed like we couldn't because we were just too different, maybe.

Now they're just a bunch of nice guys who offer sagely advice.

Asari and Krogans, the others are far after.

I like Krogans for their attitude and Asari because i'm weak for everything blue.

They weren't mysterious in ME1, they were just cookie-cutter mecha-mooks who tried to kill everyone.

If you want mysterious, try the goddamn protheans.

They were hostile, homicidal mooks. They shot at us, and we shot back. That's the depth of their characterization, unless you count the whole "worshipping a ball of light"-thing on Feros.

The depth didn't come until we met Legion in ME2 and he gave insight into the wants and desires of the geth as a whole.

Confirmed for missing the point by 2 million light years.

The depth was in their lore and development (and their reasons for following Saren). Functionally they were just mooks, yes. The Protheans were just a plot device as far as relevance to the game world (though they too had depth).

Krogan.

I just like the idea of a tough as titanium alloy nails species who are honest about what they feel.

My favorite squadmates have always been Krogan, they provide me endless entertainment and kick enemies to the curb in the next country to boot!

Grunt is especially interesting to me, with his gung ho battle ready attitude and random quips.


A second choice would be Vorcha, I'm curious to explore how a relatively primitive but tough squadmember would integrate into the crew of the Normandy.

Salarians. I have yet to meet one that I haven't instantly loved. The big eyes and voices help, as does their interesting biology.

Hanar. They're some of the most 'alien' aliens we've met so far, and I'm bummed that we didn't even get to talk to one in the second game. Hopefully they'll show up in the third one and make some contributions, especially once they realize what the reapers did to their enkindlers.

 
BLASTO!

A tie between turians and salarians. Krogans come right behind.

I would have to say asari. They may be partial fanservice but they're probably the most interestingly implemented fanservice I've ever seen.

I did half expect that you'd say something Image IPB

In ME1 there was nothing mysterious about the Geth they were just shown as being evil robots like every other sci-fi movie,book,series in history has ever done. Legion has made them a far more interesting specie that I for one can't wait to get to see on a large scale in ME3 I love the idea that the robot specie is actually the nice guy in the situation that they're the ones that don't want to be bothered and arn't looking to bother anyone else its an amazing twist

I have to agree. Whether it was because of Saren and by extension ME1 or just old tropes at play I wholeheartedly hated the Geth. There was nothing redeeming about them. Then Legion happened. I don't want them to necessarily become big damn heroes as much as I'd prefer for them to stay as the "True Neutral" faction. It's a breath of fresh air to see the AI trope subverted. It's also fresh to see a neutral faction in a galaxy full of conflict.

Asari. Who says you can't dominate the galaxy and be fashionable at the same time? :kissing:
Or pyjaks. They're cute little monkey critters!^_^

I like the Reapers. They are the force in the galaxy that brings renewal. They are the storm that cleanses - the hurricane that wipes out the old growth and lets life begin anew. They are like the caring and loving farmer that wish to give new life (crops) a fighting chance in an oppressive and noncaring galaxy. They harvest the old growth and till the soil so that new life has a solid chance to get a foothold. New growth can look up proudly at a smiling sun because the Reapers removed all of the old competition - removed the oppressive canopy of the old forest.

The Reapers lovingly watch over their seedlings from afar, encouraging success and expansion via a Mass Relay system that they built - at great expense mind you. They encourage life to flourish through constant care and attention.

Worry your pretty little heads not, the Reapers are watching. Sleep easy and safe, knowing that they have always been and always shall be there to watch over you - their eternal vigilance is the hallmark of their caring and motherly ways.

Vorcha...they don't get sick. The only way to lessen their numbers is to bring Shepard into the equation. Whether it be his guns, tech, biotics, or a Krogan battlemaster.

Humans. Turians as far second, but that's because I thought Nihlus is one of the coolest characters éver, maybe it was just his voice and armor though. I only need humans, as playable race, anyhow. Others just add color.
