They can also produce only one child for every 2 parents. How they haven't died off completely because their population literally halves every 9 years or so, or why they'd evolve such a retarded reproductive strategy is anyone's guess.
the question is how they even created a strategy at all lol
Hey, Vorcha's may be considered the dumbest race, but they're the ones who gave the Reapers the most trouble.
The main problem for the Vorcha is their short lifespan. Educating and training them would take up almost their entire life, so what use is a highly trained specialist if he dies within the year of his graduation?
BioWare also has never been clear about the Vorcha's fabled adaption to hostile environments. They can do this metamorphosis only once, then they are stuck in that form. If they adapt to live on a Volus world, then they are stuck there until someone makes them a pressure suit.
If that change isn't inherited by their offspring, then it's pretty much pointless, too.
If the Vorcha retained their knowledge over generations or if they wouldn't devolve back if left alone, then they would quickly become unstoppable. Throw a sufficiently large number of them at a problem and they'll solve it in record time. Similiar to crowd-sourcing scientific problems in RL.
Give them a weapon and tell them to develop a better one... and within months they'll pilot Gundams. They can experiment without limits... so what if some of them die horribly in massive explosions? The rest learns from it and does better... and since they continuously replenish their numbers and bring the newcomers up to speed, they collectively get better and better.
Well. If only they worked that way.
They might not look it. We all have our own specializations, sometimes secret. A good one is never getting tricked
Yeah, I imagine that the Vorcha were like the Krogan, uplifted to spaceflight rather than developing it on their own.
There are a lot of contenders for who might have done so;
Lore states that the Asari already tried to "civilise" them once in a social experiment that failed, while the Salarians are another possibility because we've seen at least twice that uplifting races "for the lulz science!" is their thing. Alternatively, the Vorcha's use as cheap cannon fodder for criminal groups could even mean that the Krogan might have done so in an ironic mirror of their own uplifting, or perhaps it was Batarian Hegemony after realising that they were better as a disposable army than as slaves?
Not to say that one bright spark couldn't have come up with spaceflight, but if so, they were probably at our current level now, limited to putting things in order and the occasional brief sojourn to a moon if they have one. Would surprise me if they'd actually developed mass effect technology and left their system before first contact with another species.
^ Well I found this Vorcha and lets say his specialty is to raise the temperature and get things hot 
WE LEAVE!
Actually the Vorcha are pre-spaceflight according to the lore. The ones you see in space were taken off their homeworld by other spacefaring species. It was mentioned in one of the codex entries.
The Reapers were probably annihilating them anyway because they had extensive contact with spacefaring species.
How so? Vorcha can adapt to almost anything, making them ideal for working in hostile environments. Plus the fact they breed and mature fast means you have a steady supply of soldiers if needed.
So we're turning Vorcha into slaves now? Shortened lifespan and high adaptability isn't worth the investment.

I never said anything about slavery. Unless you consider what our character seems to be doing as slavery. All I said is that they would have enough benefit to involve them in the trip to Andromeda. Every species we know of in the Milky Way can bring enough to the table to be granted partnership in this endeavor.
Smart enough to know Gavorn's tricks.

You're right, you didn't. But I don't see the point in basically raising them to do certain tasks because of some advantages their race has worth it. Just as the Blood Pack used them for cannon fodder, we would be using them to do the tough dirty work...
I've always been in favor of turning the Vorcha into a human client race. They can engage in mining and other tasks in inhospitable worlds that their adaptability is well suited for, and of course, we could turn them into humanity's "Gurkhas" to help us fight our colonial wars. Man and Vorcha would both benefit tremendously from this arrangement.
RE: the OP and how smart the Vorcha are, they've always been smarter than what's commonly thought, in ME2 one of the Shadow Broker's informants was a Vorcha,and in one of the "Cerberus daily news" stories it was the Vorcha who helped rebuild a colony ravaged by a comet. ME3 further showed how capable they were with the "void devils fighter wing" and "vorcha labor team" war assets.
The Vorcha are just awesome,they're my fave race(besides human of course) and would've had Shepard save them before any of the council species if I could've.
They can't be that stupid if they reached spaceflight, so why are they portrayed as being stupid? all... of them.
Did they?
From a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being Salarians and 1 being a Vorcha... They are a Vorcha.
Yep... that about wraps it up.

Vorcha are relatively "young" in the galaxy. It would be like comparing troglodyte with Prothans back in the day. They may reach a more intelligent state one day, but for now...
poor Vorcha
WE DON'T WANT YOUR PITY! GIVE THAT TO VOLUS! COUNT THEIR CREDITS AND TOO FAT!!!
It's also worth noting the Vorcha aren't worth the investment in bringing them to Andromeda.
GRRRAAAAAAAGH!! IT'S ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT VORCHA BURN YOUR FACE OFF! BURNT BLISTERS ALL OVER! LOOK UGLY!! WE GO TO ANDROMADAYIA WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!
Hey, Vorcha's may be considered the dumbest race, but they're the ones who gave the Reapers the most trouble.
YES! VERY TRUE! REAPERS DID NOT COUNT ON OUR REGENERATION! HAVE TROUBLE INDOCTRINATING TOO!! INDOCTRINATION ONLY WORKS ON MORE COMPLEX BRAINS!!............WAIT! NO! WE INSULTED OURSELVES! OKAY, VORCHA DUMB! BUT DUMB IN GOOD WAY! REAPERS STUPID NOW!!

GRAAAAAAAGH!! WE LIKE YOU HUMAN! YOU GET IT! PERHAPS WE CAN DO BUSINESS TOGETHER IN FUTURE!!
So Vorcha how fast can you learn exactly
FAST ENOUGH THAT WE LEARNED EVERYTHING YOU TAUGHT US IN BED LAST NIGHT!! RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHH!!!
^ Well I found this Vorcha and lets say his specialty is to raise the temperature and get things hot
GRRAAAAAAAGH!!! OH YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT BABY!!! *wink, wink*
Smart enought to travel in time... can you do that Human no you can't
FAST ENOUGH THAT WE LEARNED EVERYTHING YOU TAUGHT US IN BED LAST NIGHT!! RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHH!!!
GRRAAAAAAAGH!!! OH YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT BABY!!! *wink, wink*
I think i learned to not underestimate the profound strength and intelligence of a vorcha. At least you that is
Oh i'll teach you more and i bet you'll be able to show me a thing or two in your own way. 
Don't worry i expect you to go all the way and fire me up.
We never saw a Vorcha ship, they were always working with the Blood pack.
Obviously they get a lift around the galaxy on other ships or with other Mercs.
Cheers
No less than most of this fandom, from my experience.
Kind of o/t but the picture of the Vorcha in the labor team war asset was glorious.
I believe a codex entry in ME3 the vorcha had a small fleet of their own (ship captains were not vorcha) but when the reapers sent a token force to attack, the vorcha fleet was obliterated and took no reaper ships with them. However they faired better during the ground war due to superior numbers and resistance to reaper indoctrination.
They learn faster than any other race. But don't live long enough lives to teach their children, who are less intelligent, and tend to be more violent, who then raise children who are uneducated and extremely violent.
Retour en haut
