Revive the protheans bioware if volus really are being added just as fair

new appearances sound better

Biotics that match your appearance "lights" choice sounds better...

Black biotics

Why not? Do you have a problem with something being black?...:innocent:

Volus aren't known for their martial prowess, this is true, but do you expect them to peacefully surrender when the Reapers landed on their home planet? Hell no! To ensure the survival of their species and the galaxy as a whole, the Volus people took up arms and joined the Galactic Coalition that opposes the Reaper menace. Most of them surely found roles as support and auxiliary troops, but some Volus of high biotic or martial capabilities have found a home on the battlefield. These brave lads have excelled in this role that has been forced upon them. It is these brave heroes that we are welcoming to our ranks as N7. To deny them this right is to deny them a chance to defend that which they hold dear.

I always wondered what the reapers did with the leftover volus parts. Perhaps the turn the into cannon balls for the reapers to fire?

You're asking a race that has never fought directly in a war and that is not suitable for a war to be in a war ughhh U_u

Everyone is threatened with absolute eradication. A lot of people that had never played a combat role would sort of have no choice, being as it's the end of the world and everything. Most of them are wealthy, so they can probably afford combat exoskeletons. Since there are no front lines (the Reaper war is, by necessity, asymmetrical warfare), every fighter is going to be in groups like these, with a relatively quick in, complete objectives, out.

To further bolster the validity of this statement, I'm gonna leave this picture here:


Those are children. Children shouldn't fight in wars. Oh, look what's in their hands! Guns!

"But that's just a cartoon!" This [/i]is just a cartoon, but child soldiers do exist. It's a sad thing that they do, but it doesn't mean it's not real.

Now apply this knowledge to the Volus. We need fighters, whether we choose to believe it or not.

So basically Volus = Child Soldiers???

EDIT: Also, you do realise that in most cases of child soldiers, they were FORCED to fight, as in against their own will.

I'm sure the Volus never had conflicts pre-space flight.

It's an analogy.

And yes, I played Metal Gear Solid 2, I know they were forced to fight.

That completely ignores the combat flaws of the volus.
AKA exploding when shot off their home planet.

[Tzarakiel]

The reasons many are annoyed at the possibility of getting volus are that they don't want to waste credits on them and that they take the place that could have been something better/cooler, like a shuriken or avenger (or UR weapon) downgrade.

I have no problem with Volus being in multiplayer as it doesn't follow lore anyways. (Cerberus on Condor and so on)

If the Volus are real, that might show that Bioware is working on getting new races that are not of the standard human/batarian/ect skeleton into the game as playable races later on. Volus would be alot easier to work on as a test than something more complicated like elcore/hanar.

Pre-spaceflight Volus conflicts would be in the environment they evolved for (correct atmosphere and pressure to breath in) so would be rather different to anything in the suits.

But my complaint is still:
4 Volus, really? 4?
Suddenly the Volus sort of outnumber the far more special forces viable Salarians, Drell and Geth. Why?

bioware has just got to be joking they have to be

[ParatrooperSean]

Even if the species isn't known for military prowess we're talking about individuals, not an entire culture. Cultural anomalies among individuals are quite normal. I kind of view the warriors in multiplayer like the French Foreign Legion. Recruits from all nationalities are welcome to tryout.

Your right.. Volus would be completely OP if they were put in in a lore friendly manner. More resiliant than Krogans, more recources than the Reapers, more technology at their fingertips than the Quarians..

People keep saying that Volus are a joke and I think that is exactly why they do need to be put in; to fix that misconception.

[TransHumanS]

This board makes me regret ever incarnating on Earth. When are you simpletons going to get it? There are no Volus. They are a red herring, intentional misdirection, aka: STOP BEING NOSEY AND WAIT, LOVE BIOWARE

Doesn't work when you have thousand or millions of rouge volus going to war out of the blue when they are not suited for it

Here's a question: If Bioware were going to add another race into Multiplayer.. what races do you think they would add? Hanar, Yahg and Elcor aren't really possibly b/c of the modeling... it leaves you with a pretty short list.

Upset: That was a Elcor Dream Killer.

[Astartes Marine]

Volus haven't played a combat role in Mass Effect...

And never before in the ME series has the entire galaxy been at war...this is not some conflict where we can say, "just send the Army out to war".  No it's more a case of death being everywhere, enemies all over and entire worlds burning.  

It's a war where there is no such thing as "non-combatant".  Everyone fights, no one quits, for to quit is to die.  The old have to fight, the children have to fight, the weak have to fight, and so on.  



As to why Volus specifically instead of something like Elcor?  Dunno.  Would've preferred Elcor myself.

And also completely ignores the combat benefits of the volus. Volus can survive unsuited at higher atmos than every other major race. They live on a planet with 1.5x the gravity of Earth.

Also the idea that volus would explode is pretty stupid. Humans don't explode in a vaccuum. This might be a fatal problem over the course of minutes or hours, but its unlikely to be instantly fatal to a volus. A simple patch would fix the problem.

Stopped reading at "more resilliant than Krogans"

Then the volus would die because they don't really fight they allow the turians or mercenaries to do their fighting for them case in point in me2
