Anyone who is complaining about is being unsurprisingly stupid. It's Bioware's game. They decide the rules. And no, I'm not blindly supporting everything they do.
You do not know how Turian bodies and reproduction works. You do not get to complain about things you have no freaking knowledge about.

Breasts or "breasts" though, those shapes in that place on that lady alien is a purposeful design choice made by a design team. It's not like they got there by accident or through natural evolution. They're there because they were put there, and the wisdom, necessity, and motivation behind the design team's choice are questionable at best.
Whether or not those shapes 'can' be there is immaterial. They're a designed race, they can be designed with any attribute the design team gives them. But that doesn't mean that every choice is good or logical or consistent, and it's not our job excuse or justify their odd choices with a lot of mental gymnastics.

Does the codex say that turians are born in eggs? If not, we are to assume that the infants must be fed a sort of nutrient by their mother, and how else would you want them to do that? Nipples on their feet?

THANK you. The minute I saw this topic, I was hoping this point was brought up.
I mean, yes, it's more likely done out of the simple fact that she's supposed to have some sex appeal and is there to just to give players something familiar in her appearance, but in-universe, there's no reason to believe that turian females wouldn't have some sort of method of nursing their young. We haven't been told either way if turians have egg birth or live birth, and I remember that, in a different universe, Gargoyles had eggs and women with breasts like human women because they still nursed their young. Yes, Gargoyles isn't Mass Effect, but the thing about creating a non-human species is that they are not bound to human biology. There are limits to what we'll believe, of course, but an avian-reptilian with visible mammory glands is not out of my suspension of disbelief.
Glad to see that some people have sense.
