I mean one reasonably well liked character was already a possibility, but no butterface<_<<_<<_<
But they overcome so much, like science for an example. Or least what Mass Effect calls science.wolfhowwl wrote...
As repayment for the Talimancers' years of loyalty, Bioware gave them a photoshopped hammasa and "activate sing-along mode."
HAHAHAHA

well a lot of people didn't like her, for rather obvious reasons.
But still, I'd prefer her to....it

A soldier with super powers = vastly superior.

Yep.
Agreed. At least she was relevant. (Also Chobot's VA is god awful. She's worse than the Liaramance in ME1 VA and that's a feat).

Fully evolved biotic charge has a kind of adrenaline rush effect, so yes

The distinction is blurred somewhat because the Citadel is the only place where multispecies political structures exist. However, I think that there is clearly some racism and prejudice that grows out of what may have started as political or military conflicts. Balak says, "You humans," not "you colonists" or "you Alliance soldiers." Pressly says he doesn't much like "turians in general," as opposed to criticizing the actions or principles of the Turian Hierarchy.
We can argue over whether specific examples of antagonism between the species are racism per se, but even if some of them aren't, they're still potentially dangerous when they get into the realm of designating certain groups as "us" and others as "them."
I would actually argue that Charles Saracino, the Terra Firma representative in ME1, was a nationalist - not a racist - and brought up some valid points. From the quest name itself, we already know we're supposed to hate him, but it would have been interesting to see more of that going ahead. Something to keep in the back of your mind.Star fury wrote...

It's very hard to distinguish racism from nationalism, as somebody already mentioned salarians(at least their dalatrass) look definityely racist, calling krogans "brutes" and "savages". Wrex also has an understandable hate. I don't think you can call batarians racists because even if Balak hates all humans, it's not that different from i.e. Cold War rhetoric.
It's really hard to find racism except Cerberus and some individuals in ME universe and even in Ceberus case it's implicit. And it is good.

The Geth's actions during the Mourning War were justified, they fought to prevent their own extinction (a genocide launched by the Quarians) and then spared their creators when they were no longer a threat. Even their isolationist policies are somewhat justified, they knew that the other species of the galaxy did not accept them and Citadel space had laws to destroy AIs on sight; so, they saw any ship that ventured past the Perseus Veil as an act of war (I don't think you can accidently enter Geth territory). And the main group of Geth understood and sympathized with the Heretics but they strongly disagreed with them and went so far as to label them heretics.
The Geth are easy to sympathize with, they are a race who live in a galaxy that hates them for winning a war for their right to exist. I like the Quarians but they are in the wrong, they launched a genocide and lost. Three-hundred years later their only thoughts are to take back a world from the 'usurpers' instead of trying to find a new home planet (I think they could have adapted to a new world if they dropped their pride, it's probably easier than living aboard ships).

Quarians seeking to get their homeworld back are not rational as any living beings would be. It is understandable.
Quarian writer Chris L'Etoile based them on Jews who wondered millennia without home while having an opportunity to settle somewhere.
Even I know better than to tie it in to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.136th wrote...

in ME2 - the VO notes expressly asked DC Douglas to pronounce it like a Hebrew phrase. The prayer used to open Rael'Zorah's trial directly paraphrases a Jewish blessing:
