Anyone that is not putting Humanity at the top of their priority list is a traitor.


I have yet to be given a solid reason why I should give a **** about them beyond belonging to the same species.

You say these things....is it because your father was a batarian?!?:blink:

Humans, Turians, Asari and possibly the Geth have the most capable fleets in the galaxy and so must be top priority. Having said that, humanity's fleets have been decimated by the Reapers already. Otherwise, the Salarians (amazing intelligence gathering) and the Quarians will be useful (their fleet could be instrumental for evacuations), and the Volus will be pretty essential because if we do win we need a galactic economy thats intact. The other species aren't as important unfortunately.

Humanity is going to be the top of my list, and that's because I'm human myself more than anything else.

I would willingly sacrifice all other species to save humanity, if it came down to defending individual planets. There is no point saving other species at the expense of humanity if the last few humans (or Shepard, as the last one left) can't breed with them.

Apart from that: humans, asari and turians are natural allies. Other species will play their part but are either too weak or too unstable and unreliable.

As far as future imperialist ambitions go, it makes sense to save the weakest, ie quarians, volus and drell. But then of course those species couldn't offer as much in subjection to humanity as the like of the turians could.

Humans - my own species, shown that they can hold their own etc.
Turians - Military
Salarians - brains
Krogan - raw power
Asari - because all other species respect them
Quarians - largest fleet but weak immune system and not that many compared to other species.
Drell (low population as it is, even if they were saved, they're doomed already I think)
Rachni - I saved 'em once before
Volus - don't seem to be able to bring much to the war effort.
Elcor - ...
Geth (I put these lower down because you could always rebuild them if they proved themselves allies)
Batarians - Shepard killed a whole lot of 'em already
Vorcha - parasites really

@Sisterofshane,

Note that I placed 3 of the weakest nations at the top of my list. Humans are my number 1 priority, always, and those species pose the least threat to humanity, and would actually probably be amenable to joining us as a client species.


This is pretty much what I'd do. I'd want to save the species that are the least competitive with humanity and can more easily be influenced/controlled in the aftermath.

That means the asari, turians, salarians, and batarians are at the bottom of my list when it comes to priority followed by the krogan. I really don't consider the vorcha much of a threat because they aren't capable of space travel on their own.

So I'd prioritize preserving the quarians, elcor, hanar, drell, volus, and any other "lesser" races.

Of-course this all depends a bit on circumstance. I want to save Earth above all else and if the best way to do that is to save the big three and others then I'll do it.


Do I understand this correctly?
You imply that if you can sacrifice the "big three" (and the batarians and Krogans) you would? Even if you had a chance to save them?

Wow, If this is the case, I really hope you play a renegade Shepard. You propose to be a bystander to genocide on a massive scale for the possibility of a benefit for humanity. You must love TIM. :?

Saved      /        Sacrifice

Krogans  /       Volus

Asari       /         Vorcha

Turians    /         Batarians

Salarians  /        Elcor

Quarians    /       Geth


You cannot save all species,  who will you help?

If i need to choose even further i will save,

Krogans     over    Turians

Salarians    over    Quarians

Humans     over     Asari

What are your choices?



I'm kind of cofused at the pairing why would i have to save either the Krogan or the Volus or the Salarians over the Elcor?

I agree with this post. Almost exactly, except I'd say Vorcha are more like Rabid cats. :)

Yes, that is what I'm saying. Their misfortune can be humanity's gain.

Indeed I have great respect for the Illusive Man.

My goal in this fight since the begining has been to elevate and save humanity. Anyone else is just a means towards achieving that goal.

The important thing to remember is that a galaxy without humans is not a galaxy worth saving. That puts everything else in perspective.

I'd prefer to focus my energy on saving humanity rather than elevating it. It would be fine if humanity could gain advantages from this war, but screw the races that have the biggest fleet (Turians, Salarian and Asari) could cause problem on the mission of saving Earh. How are you going to take back Earth withouth those species and their military power?
Anyway, I don't think that in ME3 there will be the possibility to choose the minor species over the major species. Maybe there'll be some decisions that will lead the three major species to be weaker and humanity to be stronger after the war, but I seriously doubt that we're going to have the option to completely wipe out Turians, Salarians and Asari. Probably one of them, but not all three.

Well, to each their own I guess. Although I hope you do only adopt the stance in the light that this is just a fictional decision and that you are just role-playing your character well. In that case, kudos.

But to save Earth we need the military power and the fleet of the most powerful species. We can't save Earth only with the Elcor and the Volus. Geth and Quarians are the only other species with big fleets, and we'll probably have to choose between them (or try to reach peace), so we can't choose them over the Turians, Salarians and Asari.

I agree, the most important thing is to save humanity. I'd be fine if humanity will have the same aumont of power (in comparison of the other species, because no specie will have the same power they had before the war) that we had before the war.

Hopefully my Shepard will have an intact human-led coalition of non-citadel alien species to deal with the Asari,Turians and Salarians after the Reaper war is over.

Humanity doesn't benefit from the experience if everything is in ruins and the galaxy sinks in anarchy and chaos.

That you're a selfish douchebag who will suffer eternally in that special hell where selfish douchebags go when they are inevitably wiped from existence as a consequence of their selfishly douchebaggish ways?

Yes it does. It means that by the time the rest of the galaxy recovers humanity will be well ahead of them. Much like Europe being devestated while America remained unscathed.

That might be the worst analogy I have ever heard in my entire life.
