Maybe they're keeping the quarians out so they have an excuse to have male-only aliens.

I know, weakest argument ever..

I thought you were able to choose the gender of your character? Don't tell me the previews disapproved that?

Well it's been hinted at that humans can but I haven't heard confirmation for anybody else yet.

Yes. But you knew what I meant

^Why wouldn't be able to play as female human?

They already have character creator in SP ME3. Use that one.

I'm sure the Quarians will be in the MP at some point - Bioware may not yet have come up with a unique species ability for them (like the Krogan charge or the Drell ninja roll), they may simply have not been available for the demo, they may be difficult to unlock (of all the races, I imagine recruiting the Quarians or the Geth will be hardest given that they are having their own little war).

According to the previews you can only choose gender if you're playing as a human. I'm not that bothered given that its a purely cosmetic thing in the MP - for the SP, choosing your gender actually has an impact but it won't here.

I don't intend to play a human, female turian or nothing.

For someone, who hasn't had much interest in multiplayer before, I am getting quite excited about it.
Ah, Bioware what have you done to me: first you opened me up to shooter gameplay, then you made me get a facebook and a twitter account and now this.
Oh, Bioware, you're the devil, you're leading me astray...
;-)

Join us. Come over to the dark side. Listen to that evil little voice on your shoulder...

What difference does it really make? I'd like to see female Turians in the campaign, but for MP its purely cosmetic and has no actual effect.

@albafica Creation of the MP element didn't take anything away from the singleplayer, don't worry.

if you believe the marketing department hype machine that is ... game devlopment is fluid what was tru in the past is not true now and what is true now might not be true in the future.

With how much work its going to take to even play multiplayer, its a quarian or nothing for me.

Its all about the Drell infiltrator for me. The ultimate assassin

And? They went through the trouble to even put multiplayer into the game in the first place. Arguments of resources apparently do not apply here.

I really don't think that the resources they spent on the multiplayer (considering that it was made by a different studio) would've dramatically changed the singleplayer, anyway.

It's like saying that the budget/resources for the DLCs could've been used to change the singleplayer to a point where one version is much more different from the other.

It's more about productivity, anyway.

Having a multi-million dollar budget won't help if the designers don't know what the hell they're doing or how to utilize that budget.

Because if I'm not actually RPing, I at least want to play the race/gender combination of my own choosing. There could be zero customisation options for all I care, it's just the idea of BEING a badass femturian that really appeals to me.

Er what? I wasn't talking about multiplayer changing singleplayer, I was saying that the very fact they allocated resoures to an entirely new studio for multiplayer, that they can't bring in two more races is silly.

I'm hoping they just arn't showing it. I just came around to mulitplayer and warmed up, and now the previews are waning my interest again. For me to play multiplayer in the first place I will have to either set up a system link (if it supports that) or drag my xbox down to a friends or relatives where they have internet that can handle online.

Thats fair enough. Unless female Turians are in the campaign I doubt they'll be in MP, and given that the Asari are all female, and Salarian and Krogan females don't fight, I think Bioware may well just restrict gender options to humans only. A badass male Turian is almost as good as a badass female one.

What if we don't want to mod the game? What if we can't?

I don't care. There's so little content tied to playing a different race in multiplayer, you might as well be playing as a human in a halloween costume. Seems like another missed chance to turn the multiplayer from a mediocre distraction into a meaningfull addition.

Each race has a unique ability by the way.

Seems to be conflicting information on this.

The krogan has the krogan charge (duh) and the drell has some fancy ninja moves. The rest have yet to be announced.

That's something then. There was an interview where someone said all abilities were tied to classes and not races.

The human adept I played had a short range "force push" as melee attack (very effective). However, once I grabbed, dragged over and killed an enemy from behind cover (which was awesome!) and then the omni-blade came out for the kill.

It'd be cool if they changed that to something like the biotic fist thing Samara used to bash Morinth's skull in, but I guess the omni-blade is good enough.

I'm sorry, but I read that as "Biotic fisting". I guess I'm still disturbed from that one thread talking about the vanguard's melee attack.

Probably haven't however an entirly new studio has to be payed for by something. If it isn't partly funded by an already existing pot (aka SP game budget) it needs to pay for itself to be viable, aka all the resources put into MP would need to be paid for by increased sales to cover the additional costs of the MP team.

Just as planned, then.
