The only Quarian I liked was Tali. I really wanted to kill the other Admirals, but I cared too much for Tali to just do that.
The Geth were just lost and confused and the Quarian saw it as a Rebellion.

I would choose the Geth if I didn't have enough Paragon/Renegade.

So glad I had enough Renegade to tell off the Quarians and save both the Geth and Quarian.

Quarians. Regardless of appearance, Geth are still just synthetics.


All you organics are racist


Not the right word .. Best one I could think of is Synthetist since Roboticist was already used ..

Geth, because if we accept that they are a true intelligence, they were acting only out of a desire for self-preservation. I can't blame them for wanting that. If my entire family decided that I needed to die because I'd asked an awkward question and then ran at me with guns... well... let's just say that I wouldn't be too inclined to let them shoot me.

Geth because they are synthetics and can be recreated or imitated in the future. Quarians, once gone, will forever be gone.

Geth they would be more useful in the war plus from what I have seen from the geth side mission quarians are pretty much to blame for losing their own planet.

Quarians, i mean, i know they were at fault, but, i like Tali, so i could never do that to her....
Well, i like Legion as well, but not as much, besides, im organic, and flawed, and still havent forgotten that i spent a whole game being shot at by his "heretics".

I actually only hesitated on the destroy ending because of EDI, since if it was just the geth then im sorry, but youre all gonna die -_-

Quarians always.

You cannot create organics the same way again. But the Geth, you could create them later.

Plus, Geth are just programs that imitate life. They don't "feel" because we told them what to "feel."

Also, the Quarians never wanted to start a war with the Geth again. But just one stupid admiral decided to attack, so I can forgive the Quarians. Though I might be biased because the Quarians are my favorite race. They have the, "scavenge and use whatever resources available" type deal going on. Which is how I roll.



Now that they are all AI's with Reaper Code, they certainly do feel.


The premise is the same. They are coded artificially to "feel" something. While organics feel things without being told what or how to "feel."

I'd choose geth. The quarians were at fault in pretty much every way throughout their entire shared history...

IF I were a renegade? Geth, hands down. Much more useful and powerful than the quarians IMO.

Paragon? Quarians, if for no other reason than choosing the Geth would make Tali sad/kill herself.

Quarians only because Tali is my LI. I like the Geth better.

Quarians.
They can feel pain when they are hurt. They may not be as useful as the Geth, but I couldn't let an entire race of people die in a firestorm of bullets. Especially since there are children, mothers, fathers, and families aboard the civilian ships.

They can choose what to feel, and why to feel it, that is just like a Human.

Remember, organics are machines with bio-circuitry instead of mecha-circuitry.

Geth. At each of their major developments, it was the quarians who were at fault. While it would suck to have the quarians die, they were the aggressors in both the exodus from rannoch years ago and the attack on rannoch now.

Well, my renegade shep let the geth live, and that part made me cry twice, but my paragon shep let the quarians live and i only cried once, so i guess i'd pick the quarians. (even though they did start the war with the geth...over and over again...)

My paragon chose the Geth.

My Renegade will probably side with the Quarians.

Wait.. what the ****.  I worded that WEIRD.  What I mean to say is that I would choose Quarians.  I need to sleep.

I had to in my first playthrough. I chose Quarians because the Geth wound up in bed with the Reapers twice, by choice.

I'd save the Quarians. Machines are machines. Also, the Quarians who made the mistakes that led to the war aren't here anymore, and the people who ARE here have already lost their homeworld. I wouldn't punish today's Quarians for their ancestors' mistakes.

Exactly.  The sentiment that we are better because <insert quality here> is coming from an entirely biased perspective.  Also, we are making statments about the nature of our minds when we have little idea about how our minds actually work.  "Obviously the geth don't have choice, but WE do".  Do we actually know this about our minds? Nope. We just say we do.  That isn't enough proof that we are special.

People tend to forget this. Mainly because the games never bring this point up. They seem to prefer to think of the quarians as some homogeneous group that all pushed for war and wish destruction on the geth. They don't consider that wiping out the quarians means killing millions of innocent children.

What about the aggreissive attack on the geth that is happening now?  They were the aggressors in both instances.  The geth have been the defenders in both instances.

Wouldn't the Reaper Code significantly reduce The Geth's potential? A single Geth is nearly mindless. Ten networked together being to resemble sentience. A thousand or so and they're as capable as most organics.

This has no limit. There's no ceiling. A million geth? A trillion? Isn't that their goal? Wasn't that their ambition? To build a super-structure. A hive-mind? A mega-server to upload all Geth? Network all Geth? Create a "mind" the size of a galactic arm? Was that not the future they wished to forge for themselves in ME2?

With the reaper code, they become individuals. "We" becomes "I". Wonderful. However, individuals have limits. They can no longer network. They can no longer build consensus. They are subject to many of the same limitations as organics. They've diminished their ultimate potential and they've taken the short-cut that they refused to take in Mass Effect 2, they allowed the Old Machines to hand them their future.

They would no longer be Geth, and so they'll be nothing. Quarians it is.

Shepard mentions it to EDI when she pouts at him for killing Geth. She counters that the Civilian Fleet was more or less held hostage by their own people. Her point is valid.
