Ugh if Bioware abandons Drells I'll be heartbroken

[Serza]

Quarians.

 

Because they're my favorites, and the world just loooooves to take a p*ss in my morning coffee.

[The Elder King]

All I hope is that the three original Council races are considered mud now... and the Elcor, Quarians, Volus, Batarians, Hanar and Vorcha regularly use them as slave labor.
 
The Council was such a speciest organization.

Yeah, I doubt Bioware would do it.

[Panda]

I'd give the quarians a better chance than the drell. We only ever encounter 2 drell in the entire trilogy, and their species never plays a significant role in anything ever. They're basically just a background color species. The quarians played a much larger role and we see quite a lot more of them, and are likely vastly more popular.

 

3 Drells...

[Guanxii]

If Destroy is the most popular ending which stands to reason we will never see the Geth again. BioWare's published user data showed that more people sided with the Geth than Quarians or achieved peace and the Geth are toast so the Quarians are burnt toast imo. It's going to be either none or both in some hideously contrived manor and if that's the case then changing the setting was completely pointless.

 

Drell deserve to go extinct for being so retarded. Running out of food, water and energy wasn't their fault, the remaining survivors choosing to live on what for them is a toxic world out of loyalty to the jellyfish is insane.

 

The Batarians are villains and the worst ones always live.

Not that the Geth have to be present, but If the voyage to Andromeda starts before the endings, every race can be present regardless of the endings.

Ark Theory is a hideous contrivance.

[N7 Shadow 90]

Whatever happens, Blasto will live on in our memory. 

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

It's the way out of the ME3 ending and other choice issues so they don't have to write 20 different versions of the game.

 

Quarians & Geth - because they don't have to deal with the Rannoch resolution conflict

Rachni - they could have died in ME1

Drell - too small in number

Batarians - wiped out in ME3

 

The Joke Races:

Hanar

Elcor

Volus

Vorcha

 

The Quarians could be present if they use the Ark Theory and the Ark leaves prior to the ME3 ending. I don't know if they'll have the Geth invited. Legion was the only one who wasn't shooting prior to the end of the Rannoch Arc. These Arks would have had to be completed before then.

I never talked about Ark theory. They can gowith wormhole.
Regardless, there Are good chances they'll try to avoid the endings. Though I admit I'd like to see How they'd deal with Synthesis.
Keep in mind that Bioware devs said that they won't pick a canon ending.

[Lonely Heart Poet]

I don't believe the drells are going to make it, they already were on the edge.

But I believe that if Bioware wants to surprise us they will bring Elcor in. Elcors are though. They can handle heavy gravity planets like no other. Elcors are classical Mass Effect characters, too. And fun. There should be couple of Elcors with the generecig krogans and asaris (haven't seen any hint of turians, wich is weird because I felt like they are more popular than krogans and asaris). The lifespan for salarians is a problem and if I would have planned the journey, I would have chosen the though ones who cand handle the epic race.
I would fill the Ark with the krogans, asaris, turians, elcors, geths (their shared minds and memorys are a big bonus and they won't age) and propably with a human as a respect for Shepard's heroism. Quarins capacity to survive and their skills with engineering would be truly missed.

Volus have eye for trading and marketing but they don't seem like a honest species. Same goes for humans and asaris, they are quite complicated but they have many strenghts. I really did like the very alien rachni, but I think they won't move very easily from the places where they feel secure. And they travel how they like, no one can say to rahnis what they should do next.

I am very curious to see the new species. I truly only miss Legion in the new games. And Shepard, but missing Shepard feels alright.

Fleeing the galaxy before the s*** hits the fan in a biblical-ly prophezied space ship sounds like AT to me, wormhole or no.

[Ahriman]

Yeah, sure

 

Quarins capacity to survive

Huh? Survive what? Claustrophoby?

 

Volus have eye for trading and marketing but they don't seem like a honest species.

It's up to writers really. Volus could be the ones who fund Arc project.

[Guanxii]

There is no need for an Ark, the Reapers were defeated. Send as many ships as you like. We're abandoning all logic and reason so what difference does it make?

AT?
I honestly don't care either way. In both cases (trying to leave MW before or after the Reapers were defeated) Bioware can scesa things up, as well as make it right.
I just think dealing with the differences in the endings might be something Bioware might avoid.

A[rk] T[heory]. Eventually post ending colonists are going to arrive in Andromeda so there is no way around it. Synthesis is tricky. Maybe they ask you which ending you chose and if you picked Synthesis they add a transparent circuitry texture to the skin of all characters.

 

Looking for a new place to live? How about 97% of the milky way galaxy is that big enough? Nope. Okay then try our premium Andromeda travel package. Transfers and in-flight entertainment not included.

[Fade9wayz]

As far as I'm concerned, it's a given the departure of the Ark, or whatever rag-tag refugee flotilla (there's no evidence only one ship leaves MW after all) occurs sometime before the ending. There's no reason to leave the Milky Way after the ending after all. So really, any of the advanced races might be on board.

 

Yahg are out. They were'nt even evolved enough to be harvested anyway. Raloi probably don't make it if they cut all connection with the others and they wouldn't be such a great a loss since we never even met them. Rachni, as much as it saddens me, probably don't make it, unless BW flatly ignores the possibility of them having been wiped out in ME1 already. Leviathan is too big, and you'd have to find it again first. Besides, it was the last of its race, pretty hard to reproduce in these conditions, unless it can clone itself. On top of that, I'm not sure the other races would be too thrilled with sharing their space and ressources with a being that can really mess their heads up. I mean, Asari are fumbling babies next to Leviathan.

 

I do hope Vorcha, Batarians, Volus, Geth and especially Drell make it, but that's the ME3MP lover in me saying that.

[saladinbob]

The whole ark theory rumour doesn't strike me as true. The Council, and the Protheans before them, couldn't even build the Crucible without the Reapers getting wind of it so it's going to be yet another glaring plot hole if they some how managed to build an Ark in secret. It's a ridiculous assumption to make that the Reapers, through agents, would wonder where all these populations and resources are disappearing to but wouldn't bother to indoctrinate people involved to find out and then attack and harvest them.

Yeah and the tech we've seen so far looks way more advanced than in the trilogy too. The "Pathfinder Initiative" stuff leads me to believe that this is just an exploration and colonization mission decades or even centuries after the Reaper-war.

 

Let's not forget that the Milky Way was devastated after the war. There might be legitimate reasons to find a new home.

Understood.
Why would a post ending person would want to go to Andromeda? As I see it, unless it's an accidental wormhole, goIng to Andromeda is a (desperate?) attempt to avoid the Reapers. Why would someone risk and intergalactic travel of the threat is over?
A simple reskin for Synthesis won't be enough, in my opinion. Beside, it wouldn't make sense that some Reapers don't go to Andromeda to help.
Not that traveling before the end of the war doesn't have its own problems. I just How that regardless of when they went to Andromeda Bioware found a good explanation.

That's what I'm thinking too and that the N7 could be something to do with the prologue and be set on Earth or at least somewhere in the Milky Way prior to exploring a new Galaxy. I mean, think about the name. A Pathfinder is someone who literally finds a path. They're an explorer, a trailblazer, someone who goes somewhere before anyone else has and 'paves the way for others to come afterward, so it would make far more sense if MEA's story runs concurrent to the events of the original Trilogy yet isolated due to being in a new Galaxy. Afterall, the technology seen in each of the trailers so far is no more advanced than what we've seen so far in the games. 

[Bayonet Hipshot]

Yahg and Rachni. 

 

I am more interested if the new species, the Raloi, made the cut to be in the Ark. 

[Ahriman]

There couldn't by any "avanguard parties", unless there is stable path and communcation between galaxies, which makes whole attempt to isolate ME3 choices  and start again in Andromeda pointless.

Ark should be able to setup fully autonomous society. Big enough to create all production chains and preserve knowledge base, so colony won't fall into medieval. So there should either dreadnaught sized Ark ship or flotilia of smaller colony ships.

[dekar25]

Casey hudson. But seriously : geth,elkor,volus,vorcha.

[Linkenski]

Quarians.

 

Because they're my favorites, and the world just loooooves to take a p*ss in my morning coffee.

Because people voted for that in that insider event. Goodbye quarians. You died in my latest ME3 save anyway >:-D
