I'm just curious, especially since I can't access the multiplayer yet, as to why the races have been categorized into certain roles, while humans get to be whatever they want.

I mean, I understand from a gameplay aspect why they'd do that. Balance according to predetermined loadouts, ability to pick and choose animations rather than creating them for every character model, possibly even regulating spoken lines (as in, now they don't have to worry about a turian saying he's using Lift, or an asari annoucning she's hacking a geth), etc. I get that.

But I was really hoping to mix things up. I love asari, but would have loved to play the role of an asari who had a knack for tech and pursued a life of learning to be an engineer. I would've loved to play as a drell Infiltrator, or a krogan Vanguard. Being restricted by class if I want to pick a race is disappointing, especially considering I love tech-centered classes and don't really enjoy the prospect of playing as quarians or salarians.

But despite that, humans can do anything. I can make a human of any class, but my asari character would have to be an Adept/Vanguard. That just... irks me. So I decided to vent in this thread. Not much I can do about it, but... ugh. Humans are boring; I see them every day. Plus they have those silly helmets on. Why couldn't they have been pushed out of a couple slots to make room for other races? Make the class disparity more even?

I'm going to push for my asari Sentinel 'til I get it.

Mass effect fields.

It was hinted by one of the devs in another thread that character DLC's will likely break the current mold. Don't feel like looking it up, but it's around here somewhere.

Humans are RACIST!

[Arppis]

Because I think most players want to play as humans and you ARE fighting for earth. So it's only natural that humans are the majority in the Shepard's crew.

[Karan Vess]

Humans having a huge variety that none of the other races have, is the explanation that came to my mind.

[Warden130]

Isn't it because that humans are the most diverse species in the galaxy. That may have something to do with it. Also it could be a game play feature where the devs want you to have access to all classes to begin with so there wont be any complaints, but wants you to have to unlock other races. Simple answer, makes humans have access to every class.

[Kronner]

Because humans are easily the most capable species in the galaxy. No contest.

[Nonoru]

Humans are more versatile because they have much diversity ?

Honestly i think things were done that way to respect the lore.Asari are biotic people.
I wouldn't like to see them as Soldiers for example.Just like a Krogan Engineer would be silly.

[alex90c]

Bioware probably realised humans are boring and nobody would want to play them if it was an option so they forced them on us.

;D

[Anacronian Stryx]

Sure it makes sense that the Asari classes are more biotic inclined and the quarians are more prone to have tech classes.

I just find it silly that not all races have the soldier class.

Your post kinda contradicted itself. An Asari that doesn't use biotics would just be werid.

With the exception of the asari. Being biotically adept is a requirement to serve as a commando.

[EsterCloat]

I'm probably pulling this out of my butt but from what I've seen the multiplayer seems to be about Alliance Special Forces securing contested areas from hostile forces. Thus the soldiers would all most likely be human. The way I figure it is that all the aliens who are in the Alliance special forces are on loan from each of their respective militaries.

Now, here's the thing: each of these races are better in certain classes than others. Asari are better in biotic classes, quarians are better in tech classes, etc. Thus they would have an abundance of those classes in their military. However, the other classes would be in short supply and thus would need to be kept in their respective militaries. As a result the alien soldiers in the multiplayer are the surplus from their military, which would naturally be from certain classes as those would be the ones that they'd be able to spare. Sure, there are probably asari engineers and krogan adepts running about but those are most likely being kept in the asari and krogan military as they just don't have enough to loan to the Alliance.

At least that's my way of figuring it, lore-wise. There is of course the gameplay reasons. >_>

Except humans, everyone else is a planet of hats... stupid trope.

[Indoctrinated Spectre]

Heard from a friend of mine that using the Krogran is overpowered cause of the Charge. I reallyy hate this stupid randomness of unlocking characters. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO UNLOCK A SINGLE ONE! lol I keep getting my stupid viper sniper upgraded. I DON'T EVEN USE IT!

[G3rman]

Because humans have plot armor.

..and because we are seen as the most flexible and innovative race in the ME universe.

At least you're playing the MP demo. x)

[Indoctrinated Spectre]

You're right, although I was proactive about getting it.

[Kaiser Shepard]

Because we're the superior species.

Asari being restricted to Biotic classes I can understand/accept as they are required to have biotics in order to join the Asari Military.

But, why in Darwins name cant they be Sentinels?! Sentinels ARE Biotic, as well as Tech, so ifyou want a more Tech oriented Asari that still follows the "Biotics required" rule of the Asari Military, Sentinels are the answer.....So why cant Asari be Sentinels?

There is no valid excuse for not allowing it, absolutely none.

[Darkkhound64]

What I find funny is that the two Obvious species for Snipers (Turian and Drell) cannot be infiltrators, now Drell is kinda understandable, using biotics n stuff, but Turians are tech anyway....

Getting your superior asses kicked so hard by the Reapers that you need help from the "lesser" species.

Ironic.

Because then it would run into balancing act issues with Asari racial bonuses, making them the only alien race with three classes, balancing issues etc etc.

It is more complicated then you give credit for.

[NobodyofConsequence]

For the same reason the Reapers want us - genetic diversity. As mentioned in several conspiracy threads over time, humans have significantly more outliers than the other major galactic races, hence more diversity.

Edit - but yeah, some of the choices are a tad... odd.
