Fun to have around, but I would have welcomed other races before them, specifically Prothean. Volus Vanguards are a bit much. Ultimately, I don't take it too seriously and welcome any new content, but I'm just answering the question honestly.

[Verwuverhuven]

The thing I don't understand is how can people complain about a volus not belonging in the mp portion of the game and then ask for a prothean? There's only ONE prothean left. That's Javik. How can they put Javik in mp and have all four players possibly pick him and still say that it makes sense?

At least with the volus there's a way to explain it. They're basically dwarf-Ironman's. Billionarre playboy philanthropists. Ok, maybe they're a little light on the playboy part, but they can afford all the coolest gear and implants.

So there is some kind of plausible explanation, but really? Protheans? Doesn't mean I think it'd be lame. I think it'd be awesome to play a prothean, but it just doesn't make sense.

Agreed. I didn't want Volus and I don't want Protheans either.

Well, I don't know about that. I think the volus are the antithesis of tough and agressive. I think that there is a glut of cookie-cutter games in the market right now. Almost all of the really popular games of this genre have the same stoic hero beating the odds to save the world. I applaud a company that tries to find ways to shake it up a little. While unconventional and surprising, I am glad they included the volus. My previous comment was only in regards to canon and the additional stuff in Retaliation.:innocent:

Sorry if this has already been asked.

Does the volus Shield Boost stack with the stim pack/demolisher pylon/geth turret?

People really need to get it through their heads that a lore-friendly way to introduce Protheans is quite possible if Bioware desides to write one, the only thing stopping them is them not having chosen to do it (yet). Volus, Protheans, heck I'd happily take an Elcor and Hanar into battle if they let me. You guys should really stop closing off your minds to all the possibilities and assuming you know better than the people who wrote the story, you'll ruin the game for the rest of us (if Bioware is foolish enough to listen to you).

It's perfectly legitimate for people to like or not like what they see fit, but when someone writes a story, it's their story, not yours. You don't have to like it, but most of us playing this game very much like the story and would love nothing more than to see Bioware expand upon it, however they see fit. Some things I may well not like, but it's not my place to tell Bioware what they can or can't do (or what does/doesn't make sense), that's entirely up to them to decide for themselves. All we can do is state our desires and opinions (and many of these "opinions" people have are stated as though they're facts, which is nonsense, hence this response), and let them write their story.

There is no lore friendly way to introduce Protheans, outside of the original Reaper/Prothean War.

There is no lore friendly way for the Elcor, Hanar, or Volus to be introduced as part of fast-traveling, lightly equipped teams of irregular forces conducting guerrilla operations against the Reapers on planets which are more or less friendly to the majority of races.

Simply put:
It's the biggest reason why all our troops, barring the Vorcha, should be wearing full environmental gear and not having the aliens with bare skin.

First of all i want to thank to developers. It's very strange to play with volus. They are tiny and everything seems bigger. As mentioned before they are not frontline fighters but a good support class. And i don't want more volus characters. Engineer and adept classes are enough and they matches with the volus character. If the devs want to add new characters i would like to see an elcor as tank class soldier with an omni turret and rocket luncher on it.

I will concede that as they have written the canon so far, having proteans doesn't work. I agree completely that all they have to do is change it if they want to. Take a deep breath Lucius... it's gonna be ok.

If you're a Bioware Dev in disguise, maybe I could take these comments seriously; otherwise this post is a prime example of someone stating opinion as though it were a fact. If your desire is to look foolish, by all means, state more opinions as though they're facts; I could use some entertainment while I wait for my laundry to be ready to move along.

I'll breath however deeply I please, thank you very much. How DARE you tell me how to breath!?

Seriously though, I just want people to stop making such complete fools of themselves, it's embarassing to think we're all the same species.

[Lucius Aelius]

Also I want Protheans, if I don't get them because a vocal minority won't stop whining nonsensical arguments ad nauseam, that would suck. Not the end of the world, but worth spending a few minutes writing a post in support of logic and reason. If Bioware doesn't want to write them in, that's their call, I just want to do my part to see they don't use all the whining as a reason not to do it.

My Volus Engineer plays Robin to my Turian Infiltrator's Batman!

[MoeRayShep]

Who wants a plush volus doll?

[Stinger14s]

I dig m' - they are fun to play, and add comedy - especially when trying to hop obstacles (Go around!)
They have a diverse range of powers that are all useful. I like m' but YES, please MORE N7 card characters.

[GriM_AoD]

Not got the adept yet. Eng is pretty good in it's support role. 'Tis hilarious that you have to go around obstacles.
Recon mine makes Tactical scan seem pretty $&!# in comparison though.....

[St3v3H]

I love the volus engineer, hes alot of fun to play

[Grumpy Old Wizard]

The Volus adept is much too dependent on his weapon. Biotic Orbs don't do enough damage and take too long to recharge.  For a signature power it is underwhelming.  He is a squishy character, which "should" mean glass cannon.   Glass pea shooter maybe....

[TMB903]

I think 4 of them is entirely too much. The Volus engineer? Yea cool. The adept is pushing it and don't even get me started on the vanguard. It's a shame that we only have two Salarians. I'd love to have Protheans and it's possible to write them into the game(New stasis pods discovered on another planet)

[Virazhides]

I'm hooked on the little gasbags, proximity mine and recon mine are da bomb. Pun intended.

[Lucrece]

I love my Engineer. If only I could get the Adept to unlock...

Now that they've been out a week I gotta say I love the addition. They add a lot more to the MP. New perspectives, a bit of humour, new abilities, a great support class, and best of all. Fan support. This is total fan service so what if they put Biotic God in the description? It goes to show that BW listens and supports it's fanbase.

But like anything in life you can't make everyone happy no matter how hard you try to appease them.

lol the 1st time I did FB Vancouver and I had to go to a Hack Ob. with him and realized he couldn't climb cover and I had to walk ALL the way around to get up the ramp for better cover was hilarious.  Had to laugh at that.
