Yeah pretty much. Ever since the rather one sided writing in ME3 it was doomed to happen. But ultimately i don't really care. Most of this DLC is fairly uninspiring to me, with the excpetion of the beloved BPP. Maybe the Lancer too.

Maybe you should have waited a few days for the collector shippers to reduce their enthusiasm. Now all that this thread will get is "umad", "trololo", and other really smart and unique responses. And gifs.

I'm absolutely disappointed by the lack of Salarians, but I'm not going to write this down again.

Well, what reason is there to not make a day #1 fan request that has been literally begged for for a year now? Evidently they had time for lots and lots of completely new designs like the Earth DLC kits, so "no time" isn't a valid excuse.


Excuse me if a bit hyperbole is hurting feelings.


It wasn't really a #1 request. It doesn't really matter what the excuse is, since we didn't get it Salarian lovers are not going to accept pretty much any reason as to why it didn't happen.

This is a side effect of adding requests from your fans. You aren't going to be able to do all of them, and the people who didn't have their request added are going to be upset and ask why theirs wasn't added while somebody else's was.

You're going to have to work a lot harder than that to hurt my feelings. I was pointing out that you're being a bit silly right now.

What is the Fan requested Salarian kit?

Isn't  it just Mordin clone?

I'd prefer a Salarian Soldier as a shout out to

Tazzik!!!


That was my dearest wish. Salarians would do for great soldier kits and Sentinels are another class where Salarians could truly find themselves a place with their technological ingenuity.

Alas, BioWare stance is "nope".

I look forward to seeing the same people bemoaning the lack of intelligent discussion on BSN

Id like to have seen Salarians in the DLC but theyre not the only race who were over looked. No new Vorcha, Batarians or Drell (yes theyve all had other releases). Theres also other things that should have been included but havnt but that doesnt mean they "hate" it. It just wasnt a priority whether we like it or not

Have you people forgotten that after the last DLC they started adding more characters once a week after the initial new ones that came with the DLC. It could happen again so i well continue to still hold my breath.

Unless people start saying that BioWare hates an entire faction because the other faction got a bridge, we're nowhere near as bad as the WoW forums.

I want to be joking about that, I really do.

I'd even take being able to say that the people complaining about that were joking, honestly.

hey, Mordin is my favorite character, but most of that had to do with his nerdy lines ( that and his singing ). I'm not disappointed that there are no more kits, and the sniper kit was one of the better original kits.

Fact is that there are so many kits - I think engineer and infiltrator suit the lore probably the best. I can't imagine a salarian soldier meleeing everything, or a vanguard. Maybe a sentinel

It was very much a day #1 fan favourite for new kits. Or should I write "day one fan favourite", as apparently my numerical writing is confusing some people as to what I meant.


And no, I think BioWare is in fact a bit silly seing how the Batarians who are anigligible power at best are represented doubled as much compared to one of the most advanced official council powers.

Sadly I am not joking. I am really, really disappointed. Salarians are one of my favourites and seeing them go underrepresented in what hindsight makes virtually the entire series so far is just sad.

A second engineer (like the asari have 2 adepts), a sentinel, possibly even a soldier.

Oh well... :(

I think the thread title is strongly worded nonsense, but I agree that we should have had more Salarian kits, we're talking a council founding race, not one of the johnny-come-latelys.

A shame we won't see it, and that there is no new content after this for MP, so there is no chance to fix the 2 trick pony Salarian presence.

The main thing I find really sad about it is the inclusion of the Talon Merc. I've nothing against the character. I will play and enjoy him. But we have so many human characters as is... they could have taken the idea for the Talon and put it on a Salarian. I don't imagine that would have been difficult. Each of the other kits is arguably something requested by players, and while we have asked for mercenaries, I don't think there was a call for anything like the Talon (or another human) specifically. That's the biggest slap in the face for people who wanted at least one more Salarian.

The new characters are awesome and I'll have fun, especially since my dream came true for the Collectors, but I really feel for the Salarian situation.

Missed opportunity if no Salarians.

Said again, Salarian Soldier and another Salarian Engineer with different powers (Doubled up on Engineer class like Asari double up on Adept).

Salarians are space geeks. Maybe too much looking in the mirror with them if they were left out by Bioware? :D

It's just.. Grr,

I was too optimistic! Ugh, would have been exciting to finally roll with a new Salarian..

And yes, Mordin made me appreciate the species too.

At least there are TWO kits I can still enjoy.

The DLC looks awesome.

It wasn't even a day 1 request. At best it was requested after the first DLC, but nobody was really requesting more of the vanilla species for the very first DLC(except male Quarians).

Lore has very little to do with the number of each species we've gotten. That entire argument is just silly =P

I'd like to see the stats of people who actually chose to have the genophage cured. If it's really high enough, it makes sense for the Salarians with the exception of the STG not to be present to help the Alliance.

There was no reason why they couldn't have had a cool, unique Salarian kit. They seem to have the most "James Bond" gadgets in the galaxy. The new character definitely look pretty cool and unique. It's just a shame Salarians didn't get any more screen time.

The Paladin could have been Salarian, since it's a tech based Sentinel.

Also, Soldier and an elite Engineer (like the asari justicar yeah).

There's a difference between hating something and it not being high on the priority list.

But I guess that's hard to understand from the perspective of a teenager.

Didn't read the posts ahead of mine, but it is worth noting the multiple suggestions for doubling up on Salarian engineer....

Heck, it could be soldier, salarian AND sentinel. But a Sentinel with tech powers.

Salarian infiltrator is my favorite character. I was hoping for a vanguard Salarian one of these days. Would have been hilarious.
