So at this point does anyone else feel like the lack of females of any race will pretty unfair not to include? I mean they're taking us to homeworlds, they've got your multiplayer character to play as, and then there's the point that they've added SO many enemey variants that have their own model that I'm personally going to be upset if I don't see a female Drell, Turian, Salarian, ect and that you cna play as those genders of those races in the multiplayer. I already sense that you won't though after seeing the Special Forces trailer and seeing a female Quarian rather than a male. I know they were in ME2 but I still have that faint feeling they didn't include these.

Does anyone else feel the same of the inclusions being needed? Do you also think the lack of this content would be considered cheap of Bioware?

We get female Krogan. What more could we possibly need?

I think it's cheap and lazy.

We know for sure that we'll be seeing a female krogan - and I don't doubt there will be a female salarian at some point. I'm not sure about turians, though.

I have a friend who flings those two words around together so often, it's become something of an interpersonal meme across my group. You just made me imagine you as him, and I laughed. Heartily.

That said, I agree with you.

Yeah having an all woman race ( Asari ) doesn't cover it all up....
And the only female krogan we see is covered from head to toe.
And the female quarians are covered from head to toe.

For them to be romancable.

Agreed.

Still, we'll get to see a krogan, possibly a salarian. We saw a turian in the comix, but I'd really like to see a few in the game. Also, we heard a voice of a female elcor.

I'd really like to see a female batarian. Volus too. Every species, really. Honestly, it can't possibly be that hard to do. Some of the species could just have different voices. They already made a bunch of new enemy models,  so why not females as well?

It's cheap and lazy, yes, but it also has other unpleasant social implications as well.

With Snu-Snu. It would fit so much.

That will never happen. I doubt Wrex will share. :devil:

I don't need to see skin but if there is no specific lore reason that these females wouldn't be out mingling with society then I want to see them. There's no reason not to have them.

So give me some female drell, batarians, and turians.

Hell, give me a female volus too.

He doesn't have to know about it. It'll be our little secret.

Yeah, I have few big issues with the way BioWare handles their Mass Effect franchise. This is far and away my biggest, though. In fact, come to think of it... it might be the only one I'd genuinely classify as big, apart perhaps from allowing some of their tie-in media to be helmed by people who don't know what they're writing.

Back during GameInformer.com's 'ME3 media every couple of days' blitz last year, one of the segments was on designing the alien races. The designer openly admitted to a minimalistic approach toward including females of the various alien races because "they had difficulties making them look attractive" or some such. It's pretty depressing.

What if we've already met female volus?

Fans have been clamoring about female aliens since the first Mass Effect. It seems downright hilarious that Bioware has, for the most part, side stepped fans' requests.

It's mostly with the whole concept of how many new enemy variants that I think this should happen. I'm not saying the new husks aren't cool but I'm just saying if they want me to feel lik this is really a galatic war and I'm going to homeworlds, I better see them. It's just screwed up that the only races (Asaria don't count in this comment) That only three races we've seen both genders (Human, Quarians, Krogans). And yes of the other races that aren't primary Elcor seems simple enough and Volis as well.

I agree. This is supposed to be the final chapter. I'd expect them to pull out all the stops. I'd be pretty disappointed if we don't see a female Turian first and foremost. Since they seem to be pretty darn active in their society.

This is why quarians are the best alien species; they're the only ones to achieve total gender equality and have equal representation. That and they have chicken feet.

Why don't they do more females of all the races? Would it cost a great deal more to implement them into the game?

The excuse of making them attractive seems like an unfair comment to make. Almost treating the fans of the series only care about that. Just because I may not see a Krogan attractive or a Turian if we see one doesn't mean I won't be interested in their personality. Plus my argument would be, "I'm not a (insert race here) so that's probably why." Comment if I don't find them attractive.

Why, that sounds like a fantastic idea, GMagnum. Although from what I hear, Garrus is hinted to possibly have something going on with a different character, from what I've seen in the ME3 spoilers. She gives him chocolate, anyway, which is something I understand some species do to show affection. Not us chickens, of course.

Can Garrus eat chocolate? :blink:
