 Correct me if I'm wrong, but on the course of the Mass Effect series I recall battles against Krogan, Asari, Turians, Batarians, Rachni, fellow Humans, Geth, Yahg, Collectors, Vorcha, Reapers and all kinds of major sapient creatures, but not Quarians. I will not bother mentioning Hanars, Elcor or Volus since they can't fight for **** and the few bad ones are reduced to minor cutscene enemies that can be scared away (although you can kill a hanar in ME3), and you don't get to see any drell save for the major plot ones. Quarians are a different story though, and since ME2 there are plenty of them to be found around the galaxy, but absolutely none of them are enemies, not mercenaries, not evil henchmen no nothing. I find this strangely odd for some reason, at most the harshest thing you can do is punching them.

Yes I admit this is a problem for me, since I want to know what colour is their blood

[Xellith]

You can punch one in the gut.  (good enough for me)

But in ME2 the group Tali is with gets destroyed by Mechs.  Their blood is shown to be red.  Patrick Weekes plays with blood off - so he didnt notice this.  Because he said the blood is meant to be purple.

You have an answer in the novel Mass Effect Ascension. But I don't want to spoil. I know I'm a bad guy ^^

very annoying, i would love to kill quarians

[justafan]

Simply put, Quarian society is structured in such a way that is not conducive to firefights with alliance marines. There are 17 million in a galaxy of tens to hundreds of billions, and the only ones not confined to the fleet are adolescents on their own. In a way, they are a lot like the Drell, but they get more screentime because said fleet and their history with the Geth is a major plot point.

However, if you are desperate for dead Quarians, Garrus did kill a serial killer one on Omega, cause of death: cough.

[Samtheman63]

there's a few naughty quarians running around according to one of the books, acension i think, shame we didn't run into any of them though

[thehomeworld]

Because they don't need to make a worse reputation for themselves as is. Also why actively ingauge in a fire fight with people if they don't have to? Unlike all the races you listed they have a suit problem like the volus they aren't going to be stupid enough to go play soldier outside of the flotilla which needs it.

If ME3 wasn't a linear popamole Gears clone and a proper WPRG then we could have had an opportunity to fight Quarians in the Rannoch arc instead of Geth but alas.

It's clear that you're stupid enough to think that gunning down allies is a great idea. And there are plenty of games where the protagonist is indeed foolish or petty enough to do that.

But Shepard is better than that.

Actually if you trust Legion and want the better Geth support stright away, siding with the Geth from the beginning makes a hell lot of sense.

No it doesn't. It makes zero sense. The geth are controlled by the Reapers at the time. They'd shoot Shepard on sight. Not only that, the other Council races generally believe the geth to be enemies. So that would ****** a lot of people off. Not only that, that assumes that just because Shepard agrees with the geth she needs to gun down the quarians.

[CINCTuchanka]

@Grubas

Except the Geth are being controlled by Reapers, aside from Legion. Not great allies yet...

And what reason would Shep have to fight Quarians at that point?

When David doesn't have a sufficient argument to counter your opinion, and simply disagrees with you for x,y,z reasons, he resorts to childish insults. Don't take it personally. The dude is probably like 15 years old.

lol. whatever. 

[David7204]

No. You see, unlike you, I don't evaluate arguments by the number of times someone can use ridiculous phrases like "derp", "CoD", or the like in a post. Surprising, isn't it? I'm sure that you're used to spending time around people who will happily roll over for such things. Hell, it happens quite often here on the BSN. Use enough phrases with 'plot' or 'writing' in them and you're pretty much guaranteed to get smiles and nods.

But I'm afraid that just isn't good enough for anyone who expects better than Fox News tactics.

[DoodlyDangus]

Fighting some indoctrinated Quarians would be interesting.In fact, less Cerberus and more indoctrinated civilians would introduce a neat horror factor.

[DeinonSlayer]

I'm a pretty consistent Quarian supporter, but I actually wrote a version of Priority: Rannoch where it was possible to fight Quarians (specifically, Xen's security detail, including Kal'Reegar, unless you earned enough trust with the Quarians to talk him down).

In-game, you're never given any reason to fight Quarians. They're not shown to be aggressive towards any species except Geth, and there's a lot of bloody history fuelling that animosity.

[Kabooooom]

lol. Did you take your meds this morning, David? This is an internet forum. Where people talk about a video game. Why the bloody hell are you getting so worked up? Literally, every god damned day you are on here it seems like you are about to have a nervous breakdown. Go outside, get some sun, get a girlfriend, take a chill pill. Then come back and discuss with the grown-ups.

No need to tell me that mate, I stopped taking him seriously a long time ago with his ridiculous claims like saying nobody handles choices better than modern day Bioware or that Mr.House has no reason to be against the NCR in New Vegas.

[David7204]

You know, it seems to be that you're the one resorting to childish insults. I can assure you I'm quite calm.

Think something out.

Ruthles calculus dictates anyway to side with the Geth.
Isnt EDI capable of Cyberwarfare? Isn't she reapertech?

All you need to do is somehow free Legion/and or free a couple of programs from Reaperinfluence to support you. 

Quarian comandos will try to stop you of yourse.
Fight them as they try to stop you from reaching a spot where EDI can start her Virus swep. 

Think what we learn about the nature of the Geth, from ME2 and ME3. If you give them what they want, they will no longer feel the need to look for Reaper support. 

If you repelled the Quarians, freed some geth programs and they decided to aid you, all you need is plant a bomb to disturb the reapersignal. With the reapersignal disturbed, you acquire the gethfleet, which will orbital bomb the destroyer.

You're  already gunning down allies by killing geth.

Unless you're one of those fools who can make peace between the two, by chooses not to.

Which is why you always resort to attacks against people's intelligence.
