Oh no I'm the same. I'm defending them haha. A lot of people think they're quarian clones - but I'm going to assume that isn't the case. 
And elcor aren't emotionless.  They're just like dogs and use their body language and scent to communicate. 

Hahaha, I am glad to know someone shares my enthusiasm! And I stand corrected! 

:0 I'm majoring in bio (and took some pretty useless archaeology courses where I learned about dinosaur footprints and carbon dating) - so its really fun to play a game that actually pays attention to things like this. Although its easy to see where they have to draw the line to please fans.

A raloi would be nearly useless. Their tech is roughly two centuries behind humanity. They wouldn't know how to do anything, they'd have no insight to offer, nothing. It would be an even worse idea than Shepard having to babysit a small child throughout the entire game.

The differing culture is inherently interesting and guns are guns are guns in my opinion. It would provide newcomers to the series someone to connect with in the awe that is the 22nd century from a modern perspective. It may also offer old players with another race to be expanded upon in future games not involving Shepard in the ME Universe. 

Look, even opening a door would be a challenge for a raloi since they've never seen holographic/haptic interfaces. Their level of development is said to be the same as modern day Earth today, now, in the real world. They'd be too busy having their mind completely and utterly blown away by even the smallest things to actually have any useful contribution.

We have no idea of their level of intelligence or adaptibility, sir.  They have also been integrated for several months if not a year I take it into galactic society!

No, "they" haven't. A small group of their specialists, presumably including members of their academia, military, and political bodies have come to the Citadel to learn, study, and share information. The rest of their species still resides on their planet, probably having only seen other sentient species on the raloi equivalent of internet and television. If they even have internet; they only just launched their first ever manned (raloied?) space-flight space telescope within the last few years.

edit: whoops! they may not have even been into space yet.

Yes, and those VIPs that are travelling about the galaxy need bodyguards/security. Paranoid alien politicians would probably choose the best of the best to escort them to new worlds. Our Raloi squadmate could be one of these security people, equipped with the latest alien technology their employers could afford.

The point is, if Bioware wanted to make it happen, they could. And you guys are just nitpicking about the most trivial things.

Of course they could; that doesn't make it a good idea. Look at the damned Space Terminator at the end of ME2 for example.

@Marshalleck. Indeed. I'm kind of curious how they're going to take the whole "reapers are going to kill us all" situation that is going to happen. Especially since the council is still denying that information. Its all going to happen out of no where. Poor birdies.

If I were them I'd be furious that aliens led the Reapers to my planet.

I'm concerned for the intelligence level of this new human.
He looks like a simpleton.

Marcus Fenix James Vega is no simpleton, and he'll chainsawgun you in half if you say otherwise!

Ditto. :/ Well, hopefully they can bring SOME sort of ingenuity to the table, even if their civilization isn't that advanced.

The  concept art of the "finished" human reaper wasn't that bad. Skeleton terminator made WAYYY more sense after I saw it.

[jeweledleah]

you know what would be utterly awesome? if he is going to end up as an equivalent of beast from x-men. you'll have all these people assuming that he's dumb, just because he's big muscled guy... and then he'd slaughter them all with his intellect and will turn out to be the most insightful squad-mate you have.

because contrary to popular belief on these forums - appearance really isn't everything and it CAN be deceiving.

Concept is irrelevent, implementation is what counts.

[therussianviking]

I am really looking forward to Vega and I admit a Raloi would be better suited to this

I'm hoping for this. Or rather, making him an EXTREMELY likeable character. Someone who can make you laugh a lot. I felt like a lot of the human males are very serious and stern. 


I'M POSTING TOO MUCH. omg.

No. We don't need any new races at this point. We need to finish developing the ones we have already.

Too bad, we're already getting them. Anything is better than generic human #364.

Atleast the Raloi have helicopters (or in their case Ornithopters) Looks cool!

[marshalleck]

I suppose they could just make him an Alistair clone, most people liked him.

Of course it would make it an even simpler decision to Virmire the FNG. Which I suppose means he'll also have invulnerable plot armor, since putting him up against any established character would probably see him nuked 9 times out of 10. Bah.

I suppose that's true. I think the overall idea of throwing the skeletal structure in there was a bit over the top.

I have the art book by the way and they've got some real quality artists over there at Bioware, I meant no slight to their work. Personally I would have gone with the giant huskified human fetus, since it's about as unnerving, grotesque, insulting, and generally offensive on every single level that I can think of. It really drives home the idea of the Reapers wanting to hijack our species--I suppose there probably could have been quite an outrage if they'd actually used that one, though.

I think everyone wanted to see what they would have done with the fetus and how it would attack.

[Reapinger]

I would approve of this being a raloi if it had plumage instead of fur and no eyebrows.
