The Krogans were bred to fight with a prolific birth rate, ergo the genophage once the Rachni Wars were over. These guys are not very cerebral... more of "..have gun, will travel" type.

 

Which never made sense. You can't have a civilisation made up of only warriors. If anything, the warriors should be a minority because the support structure necessary for a warrior society is several times larger than them.

 

Similiarly, the Urdnot camp was nothing but a trash heap... which makes no sense. Even if the krogan don't have many resources, they would at least have cleaned up and made things comfortable. Considering that the krogan only have limited space travel capacity and aren't exactly rich... where did they get their food? Nothing except the abandoned temple towards the end looked like it could sustain enough life to feed people.

Spirits, Turians should be in ME:A

[N7Jamaican]

Human, Krogan, Salarian, have all been confirmed.

 

Krogan can be see in the E3 2014 trailer talking about the next Mass Effect and their new IP.  And Krogan can be seen again towards the end of the E3 2015 trailer for ME:A.

 

Salarians were confirmed on twitter by a developer.

All the species from ME 1 - 3, I don't want to leave anyone behind. 

 

To abandon all of that backstory and lore potential would be such a waste, and I am really not keen on meeting the 'Not-Rachni' or 'Not-Batarians' of Andromeda; aliens that are conceptually identical to their Milky Way counterparts except in name and appearance.

Then what reason for the game?

 

Contrast. The Milky Way species represent life and culture evolving under the parameters set by the Catalyst and the Reapers. As the protheans noted, each cycle was a repeat of the same dynamics with minimal variation. The Andromeda species represent life unchecked by those parameters. 

 

Personally I'm all for the inclusion of every potential species, especially if the "ARK" concept is legit. The allegory of the ark is you get every species you can on the boat and you escape the flood. 

 

Besides that, a huge part of the point of the first trilogy was the importance of diversity. The fact that the endings ignored that is one of their primary failings. Getting back to that moral would be a step in the right direction, and a good demonstration would be including every species possible for the trip. You're going to a whole new galaxy, you have no idea what you're going to find when you get there. You bring as many different species as you can so as to improve the odds of finding something that at least some of them can survive. You find dextro based worlds, you drop off the turians and the quarians. You find death worlds, you drop off the krogan and the vorcha. You find high gravity worlds, you drop off the elcor and the volus. You find ocean worlds, you drop off the hanar. This maximizes the odds of finding a way for at least some life from the Milky Way to endure, rather than putting all your eggs in a two or three baskets.

Personally would love to see the Krogan return, if the genophage cure was the canon choice in ME3, I would love to see the Krogan play a bigger part in the ME universe, as well as some non-council races such as Quarians, some form of Geth or even Drell, just to see the advances they would of made in light of the Reaper attacks, but some new races as well would be great, what would you think?

 

They have shown a Krogan on some artwork back then.

The first leak of a rumored fan panel at Pax, if legit, also mentioned seeing character models for Asari, Krogan, and Salarians.

I would love to see the Asari, don't care much for Salarians.

What do you mean what reason? Why would the reason for going to Andromeda change if all the races went rather than just a few?

Of all the races that should return but probably won't the Rachni are the most deserving and in need of retribution. In my opinion, the Rachni were the biggest failed promise of ME3. Aside from arguably the Geth, The Rachni if saved were the ONLY race and ONLY allies that recognized the threat of the Reapers and had pledged to help Shepard while everyone else mocked and ignored Shepard AFTER she/he saved them from Sovereign. And what did the Rachni get in return?

 

A retcon and a shorter BS rehash of the mission we did in the first game. In ME:A the Rachni should return regardless of player choice. It is more than conceivable that the Rachni stored more cyro frozen eggs somewhere. Perhaps Javik knew exactly where some were. Who better to help colonize a new galaxy that hyper intelligent fast reproducing insects? While I like the core species of the series all of them being humanoid and kinda alien but not really can be boring after a while. The Rachni would add much needed diversity to the roster.

Every old race takes space from new ones. New writers want to show their own vision, create something which won't be remembered as side-joke fluff, and it's understandable. Personally I believe Bioware is more than capable in balancing classic and original in order to generate enough fan rage. No option is bad as long they put honest efforts in their job.

Sometimes I think you are fan of rachni.

I can see this point, but on the other hand how many 'new' alien races can we see before they wind up being a rehash of previous ones from the Milky Way? Sure the new Andromeda aliens will have some dedicated enthusiastic writers behind them, but if the species in question is just an Andromeda knock-off version of the Elcor, or Batarians, etc. then why even bother leaving the old ones behind?

I am shocked.

 

Shocked that you didn't capitalize the name of the species of which I am a great fan of...... I'm sorry what were you saying? 

[King Killoth]

I would like to see a few returning races but really build the companions out of new alien races from Andromada

[Killroy]

I hope all the races from the previous Mass Effect games make it to Andromeda.

This. Except the Yahg. And throw in the Raloi. If it's to be an ark then it should be totally inclusive. Except for the Yahg.
Thousands, maybe tens of thousands of individuals from each race, working together to find suitable worlds to colonize in the Helius Cluster of the Andromeda galaxy to escape the Reaper threat.

I wouldn't expect more than one of the companions being from the Andromeda races, at least in the first game. That character would most likely be from the friendly race and act as a liaison and assist us in this new galaxy. Once we become more a part of the galactic government, then we could see more as squadmates.

Assuming there is a galactic government similar to the Citadel Council in Andromeda. I'm not sure there will be, at least not initially.

 

Depending on how far they take the space western theme; part of the point of the old west is that centralized government is a distant thing with little direct power. You're on the frontier. With that in mind, I'm not expecting there to be any over arching government the way there was in the Milky Way; rather, a bunch of fragmented states. I also wouldn't be surprised if our Andromeda native squadmate - assuming we have one, which I hope we do - joins up for more personal, individualistic reasons and any liaison duty is more "well, you know the language" than an official capacity.

 

Although I have to wonder if you don't have some insider information like you did with Josephine, so I can't entirely dismiss your speculation.

[N7Jamaican]

I think most of the MW species will return.  I do NOT want to see Vorcha and Hanar...

[LinksOcarina]

The first leak of a rumored fan panel at Pax, if legit, also mentioned seeing character models for Asari, Krogan, and Salarians.

 

Considering there were two sources of different information (That Pax panel, and a Magazine article) describing how the new races look (same descriptions, one fairly skeletal-looking, the other akin to golems) I think that panel is more or less confirmed.

 

I have a feeling Quarians and Geth will not be shown in the next game because of choices made in Mass Effect 3 honestly. Of the races, they are the easiest to omit.

Agreed, I doubt Quarians or Geth will make it, and BioWare will probably substitute the Quarians with an Andromedan(?) counterpart, and likewise with the Geth.

During the N7 Twitch stream last year when they were showing concept art, Bioware mentioned that one of the concept art showed a settlement that belonged to a peaceful species which they wanted to show in their architecture, giving a sense of peace and welcomeness. That implies that that race will be friendly towards us. 

 

As for the galactic government, I was referring more to future games since it is likely that more and more of Andromeda becomes available as the games go on. Maybe by the end of this game we have enough of an impact and are expansive enough that the offer to join is given. With this game I don't expect anything more than an alliance with a single species, like how the Asari helped the Elcor or Raloi out until they were ready to join Citadel Space. 

[Former_Fiend]

I'm certainly expecting friendly species and alliances; the leak suggested as much, and I'd be disappointed if the forces of Andromeda were universally hostile.

 

I just have this concept in my head, and it's not based on anything other than intuition and "what I would do", that were we to have a member of said species as a squadmate, they wouldn't join up with us in such an official capacity as that. 

 

Of course, going further along that line of "what would I do?", I'd have the native Andromedan(Andromedean?) alien squadmate be a member of a species or faction that was, by and large, hostile towards us. That fits more in line with Bioware's patterns and would offer the best insight into the enemy where as the friendly alien species would have more non-hostile npc's we could get perspective from.

That's certainly possible, especially if they want to make the enemy faction seem grey rather than just evil. Maybe they were an enemy but get captured by us, or are from a more moderate faction of their race. Or if not a squadmate, maybe as someone on the ship. Same goes if we have one of the friendly aliens aboard. With them making followers have just as much content as companions, it gives them more opportunities to tell more stories and show more viewpoints each game.
