You should read that back to yourself.

I'd have a hard time wanting to save the Batarians. Why? Primarily because of the fact that slavery is a central part of their culture (plus, a Batarian pirate raid killed my Shepard's family). Still, I'd probably save them, since my Shepard *is* a paragon. I'd still grumble about it, though.

As it was a central part of our "civilized" culture for over 2000 years, you would not have had the lovely sights of the pyramids and sphynx without it.

I said I'd save the Batarians anyway, so there. Oh, and for a space-faring civilization not to know or care that slavery is wrong, is, well, preposterous. From a human viewpoint, at any rate. I obviously can't speak for any of Batarians who might be reading this thread.

Switching over to the real world, there is some belief in archaelogy circles that slave labor was *not* used in the construction of the Pyramids (the Sphinx might predate them, so that's another topic entirely), or, at the very least, wasn't a central component of the labor force.

From what I've read (as a generalist, not a specialist) in various magazines (including National Geographic), there's a school of thought that Egyptian citizens (not slaves) were critical in the Pyramids' construction. They did so as artisans and farmers (the latter to feed the laborers), and because the pharoah was viewed as a god by the common people.

I don't know if that school of thought is widespread, though, and I'm merely reporting it, not necessarily believing it myself.

Yes, I would save them. Besides being the right thing to do, there are practical reasons as well.

The Geth have one hell of an army and navy. That much additional firepower will be welcome. The Quarians bring technical and logistical talents to the table, not mention their highly skilled marines. The Batarians are pros at hit and run raids (hard won experience earned through piracy and slave raids) and fighting dirty. All of these assets would be welcome to the war effort.

[TheCreeper]

Geth and Quarians? Hell yes? Batarians? Yes but only because leaving them to die would justify so many of their stereotypes about humanity

[Lightweight Nate]

I would try to save as many people as possible...

[Davnort]

Marsh, Anto, the sick batarian from the Gozu District, and the group of batarians threatening Daniel elsewhere in Gozu all seemed pretty normal to me.

Marsh and Anto were thugs

The Sick Batarian was a victim of propoganda everyone in Gozu believed

The Batarian group was desperate and believed that Daniel was spreading lethal disease

Not exactly normal circumstances

Marsh was objectively not a thug; he ran a shop in the Omega markets.

Anyway, my point was that you encounter the aforementioned "normal" batarians and they don't act like total dickweeds. You know, backing you up.

Batarians as a whole no individual ones maybe if they are decent people. Quarians yes all but Xen, geth no they're shaping up to be reaper replacements with that sphere of all knowledge thing.

[Legbiter]

Geth & quarians, yes. Batarians no.

[ChandlerL]

I'd save the quarians, Legion's Geth at least, and the batarians though after saving the batarians, I'd have myself a shower or two.

[MrnDvlDg161]

I think every race deserves a chance, let them decide how to act after the big threat --- and if they so choose to continue being warlike, then let the process of law and politics decide what to do when those situations come -

In the end --- everyone either stands together or hangs alone --- one by one.

[InvincibleHero]

I would regardless of the philosophy of my many Shepards. They all try to protect the innocent or helpless. More allies can only help against the reapers. Batarian civilians are unlikely to be the same as their leadership and are deserving of a chance to be free.

The geth I am on the fence about. On one hand they are perhaps more useful than the quarians, but could be controlled more easily ala the heretics even though we've supposedly only seen one "true geth" Legion. If it come to an either or situation but I will take the side of the quarians in most playthroughs. I hope there is a both sides win option.

[Gavinthelocust]

I'd save them all because I'm not a heartless monster like the other people in this thread.

[XxXSarenXxX]

I would let them all die, short of maybe the batarians if they offered me enough money.

[thepiebaker]

Only the geth. The others id feed to the reapers without any reason other than I hate them

[razgriz21]

 I'd save the Quarians (the female ones are so cute) and basically turn the Geth into toasters and music players.

The Batarians, I'd have them sent into some DMZ along with Cerberus war criminals.

[SnakeSNMF]

Yes. Even though the Batarians are, ergh-.. Well, strange. And have poor cultural values, they are still a species that have potential to become a very good part of Citadel and Council life again. Economy, and all.
Same as Quarian.
And the Geth? We could further move towards a singularity.

[Mr.House]

The Reapers can eat the batarians for all I care.

[bleetman]

What do you mean "if"? I'm pretty sure I can save the Quarians and/or Geth. If it turns out I can keep both alive, I'll go for that. If it comes down to one or the other, sorry Geth. Sentient you may be, but you're still synthetic. Which I mention in a "and thus can be effectively restored even if your entire race is destroyed" kind of way.

As far as the Batarians go, sure, why not. As much as their representation has tended to lean that way, I can't believe their entire species are jackasses.

Are you sure about the cute part? Grunt says the quarians are not so soft which means they might have some type of hard skin/ shell unless he meant the suit which would not appear to be the case since humans in combat are usually armored as well.

I'd save the Batarians and Geth. Quarians can get bent for all I care.
