Regardless of what Bioware does put into their game, I trust them, as master story tellers, to deliver something satisfying each time.
I guess any race could fight with the proper skills and equipment. Volus are capable of fighting, although they're about as handicapped as I expected. (500/100 base shield/health is pretty bad). I realize Bioware may infact be good at playing into the stereotypes we develop. 'All asari are masters of biotics' and 'all turians are expert soldiers' are just a few we've formed
I'm sure many in the galaxy as well as players themselves have always assumed volus were too weak and vulnerable to fight. Their lack of military power is, after all, the reason they lack a seat on the council despite working with council races for centuries.
It's wierd because I often see Mass Effect alien races as just reskinned mythological creatures.
Asari- Elves
Salarians and Quarians- Gnomes/Elves
Turians- Trolls
Volus- Dwarves/Gnomes
Elcor and Yahg- Ogres
Vorcha- Goblins
Batarians and Protheans- Orcs
Drell- Lizardmen/Snakemen
etc.
Maybe it's just that these tropes are part of what Carl Jung called the universal subconcious and keep coming up.
