Until now, Bioware had no idea what Turian females looked like. They made assumptions (as did the fans) that the women would look very similar to the males. The team finally did design the females and they now have a concrete idea to work with. I think the design is nice and I don't understand why having the female turians have a larger sexual dimorphism than the males is so bad. I can understand if they looked like completely different entities but they don't. They look like turians.

See my above posts. It's not 'bad', but it is anthropocentric, and consequently unimaginative.

What saddens me is how idiotic most of the people replying to you are, OP. I hated the design. It was the worst thing they could ever come up with, in my opinion. And what saddens me is that the people who like it, actually cant back it up. They have no arguments as to why they like it. People, seriously, shut up. It makes no sense. If you cant back it up, you are just spewing nonsense, while the people who dislike it actually dislike it from a logical standpoint. So please, respect the people who actually bother to THINK about this. If you bothered to think about it for more than one second, you would see that it's an incredibly bad design.

Evolutionary, it makes no sense.

The dimorphism is so extreeme it looks like a diffrent species. That neck is not turian. It cannot work like a turian. it's so skinny, that the muscles and internal structures would be entierly diffrent. It cannot work.

This design was SEXIST. It tells us that the only things that can be female, are thin, lithe, weak beings with breasts.

I can't say I was anything but insulted, and deeply dissapointed.

Everyone who likes her, are only liking her becuase they agree with that its what a female should look like. Seriously people, shut up. It's a horrible design, and it should be scrapped.

Lol, wow they DO look like General Grievous.

They look terrible, and I hope they will fix it, and model them from a turian model this time, and not from a quarian female model.

Bioware, this needs to be fixed, its bad to the point that its sad, and from one of the few remaning hardcore fans, please think this over. Please fix it so everyone can be happy about it.

Please think about the people that uses logic when they judge your games, please give us a treat too.

I suspect that the ship has sailed, since they already established that design in more than one DLC with two separate characters, and are likely to want to maintain some sort of continuity with character designs. I'm a little scared of the idea of what the females of other species might look like. I hope the vorcha never reveal themselves.

Let's continue constructive thread female turians! I liked female turian from Omega. Good job Bioware.

While I agree that the design was silly and unfitting, I don't see more similarities to Quarians/humans than to male Turians:?

'Sexist' goes a little bit too far imo.

I was not impressed at all by the female turian. Here's what we knew about turian females before Omega:

 

Sorry for the necromancy, but some things occurred to me about the Cabal (the female Turian character in multiplayer) recently and this thread seems to be the appropriate place to discuss it. 

 

In addition to everything that's been said already, I think the current design also plays to the ancient stereotype of women as the weaker sex, able to kill only by nefarious means like deception, poison, etc.

 

Consider if you will:

1) There is no male counterpart in the game with the poison strike power. So death by poison is uniquely a female-only attack in ME3MP. 

2) Male Turians in contrast are tanky weapons-centric platforms better suited to dealing with enemies face-to-face in a more "honorable" fashion.

 

When you think about it more, there are other examples. Shadow strike for instance is also a female-only power (in multiplayer) and it operates in a "backstabbing" fashion--again a reflection of the same stereotype.

 

I'm sure we could think of more examples, but I can't say I'm too surprised since it's well-known that the video game industry is dominated by men. BW is already doing a much better job than most--in addition to the femshep, there are tons of strong female characters in the game.

Haha feminism is borderline fanatical.

Yeah, according to the lore the Cabal skillset isn't intended to be something purely female...
It's a skillset that the Cabal (Turian biotics) teaches the few Turian biotics that exist, which includes both male and female. They only put in one cabal version and it was female. But that goes for most of the new classes in MP, you only get one model for each class of the new ones, especialy alien ones.

Their skillset is also why biotics arn't very popular among Turians. Not because some of them are female, buth rather due to their methods.

Saren was said to be some sort of genetic throwback or something, which is their explanation for his different look not fitting turian lore. 

Saren is an old ass mofo though. I mean, he was around in First Contact and worked with Jack Harper in dealing with the stuff going down in Evolution. So his appearance as we know it from ME1 could be from age.
