A joke race still ends up being just that a joke race that never played a role in any of the major conflicts throughout the me series and you can't really say otherwise unless bioware has them play a role in the new mass effect game they're making


Ok, we just had a quote pyramid about this.. I was starting to think that people's opinions of you were wrong, that perhaps you can and do see reason, but apparently, I was wrong.

If you don't agree with the Volus, that's fine, but find a good reason for it instead of restating stuff that makes absolutely no sence.


I've already stated more then enough reasons that do make sense you just can't see the sense in it because you're so dead hard on wanting them added that it doesn't matter to you lol


*facpalms* Nope, you aren't listening to a single word I've said.. The entire basis of my arguement is that they make little sense in single player and just as little sense in multiplayer. I'm saying they should be added because the work has already been put into creating and adding them. Not putting them in is just plain stupidity.

Riddle me this: Why would Bioware spend thousands of dollars to add Volus and then not add them? Because you asked nicely whined about it?


But lore does matter because multiplayer is still suppose to follow it so if the volus didn't do anything in singelplayer it fitting the lore means the volus would still do nothing in multiplayer as well


I'm sorry but Multiplayer doesn't fit lore. I agree that lore should be preserved as much as possible, but not at the cost of an enjoyable game. That is exactly what makes ME great is it's flexibility in it's own lore. Many games and shows get strangleheld by their lore.

Still, Volus could fit lore. It would be overly complicated, but possible, and could even be pretty neat. Arguement that they can't fit lore/shouldn't be added is a bad one. Having the opinion that they are lame and uncool and shouldn't have been created for MP, that's fine. But if they have been created then they should be released.

Just give the Volus their chance to prove they are no joke.


It still does complicate the lore since the volus have never fought in any war previous and if you're going to push the lore that far I want my undead protheans

This. I'm pretty sure there are a select few Volus who can fight. They will have to anyways. The reapers are going to burn their planet. It's fight or die at this point in the series.

Why are you sure? Are there are select few sheep that can fight? And Sheep are a lot more athletic than a Volus. Try worms or snails. They are just not anatomically cut out for it.

I only believe Bioware knew people would leak info, so they saved their best 4 classes for last and used 4 Volus Cards as placeholders

I think this is quite possible. My big concern is that so many people now seem to have their heart set on playing a Volus. Wouldn't Bioware want to avoid that?

I think the Adept and Vanguard Volus are just placeholders for something else, see them as the other 2 classes but not Adept or Vanguard.

I think they may be place holder cards after all but then that makes me wonder what those 2 or 4 classes will really be hmmm

Agreed, if the Pro-Volus guys want the Volus in MP, we want our Protheans to be in MP aswell.


Or is having Protheans MP lore-breaking? (Not to you LiarasShield)

If you're going to push the lore that far I want my Krogans to have a free life thanks to redundant systems. I want Turians to never miss a shot. I want a dern medic Salarian that can help up partners from across the field. I want a geth that gets stronger and stronger the more geth are around, including the enemies. I want my Asari to be able to pick up enemies and lob them as explosives at other enemies. I don't want enemy factions working together. N7 characters should be stuck at level 20 as they are already well trained an battle tested.

I could go on and on.. Lore should not be a stranglehold and if Bioware wants to add protheans? Cool, if not, that's up to them. Perhaps they are saving more Prothean lore for another game. ;)

Well the volus in mp is somewhat lore breaking just saying if they add them might as well add the protheans as well espically if alot of other people now are finally disregarding lore now

Find a sentient snail and figure out how to give it a gun. It will fight if it feels threatened.

skip to 2:15 to understand the OP's point.  For those of you who argue that they have potential as engineers, I would agree, but I personally believe this to be a hoax.

It would be absolutely hilarious if BioWare was just playing a big joke with the volus and they never got implemented. I don't care too much about them being added but if I had to choose a side I would say that I am against volus being playable. Whether the supporters like it or not, the inclusion of volus as N7 operatives is lore breaking. They just aren't physically capable and the codex supports this. However, if it isn't just a big joke, I will be running up and down the battlefield with a melee built volus.

Send a human that's tripping on LSD. Same result, though no little biotic bullet thing.. That mean no human can be biotic? Doubtful.

I dont see Volus as Adepts or Vanguards other 2 i can see well. But if Bioware wants to keep MP alive for awhile they will need to bend/break some lore to keep MP interesting and going. I personally want Protheans to be added as Adept and Vanguards, id also like an Asari Soldier that would be the first Soldiers character that has Biotics mixed in since Asari are natural at Biotics
