There have been a number of discussions about who would/should be included on an ark, but what if they all were included?
The Ark could leave well before the Quarian/Geth confrontation. The Batarians would seek any survival option available to them. Another Rachni queen could be found. The Raloi might not all be isolationists. Etc.
And we could come up with any number of reasons for why each race would be desirable for such an expedition. The Rachni can survive extremely harsh environments and can be used as a workforce. The Batarians are very physically capable and less aggressive/unpredictable than Krogans. The Vorcha are fast-breeding and sturdy cannon fodder. Krogans can kill just about anything. Etc.

So, what say you?

If they do include all the races I want to see hanar in water. 

[taeyeonn]

I think it all comes to who's leading the expedition... question is, would they be racist? save only of their kind? or some calculating one who strives for the most beneficial way for them to survive by having who will be a benefit to them also on board? & many more... hell, if there's like dozens of species in one huge vessel, it'd be a crazy long hell of a ride. unless they do stasis pods or smth

I can pretty much say with certainty BioWare is not going to abandon any of the major races, at the very least.

[Mirrman70]

I could see Elcor, Volus, Hanar, Drell, Batarian, Geth and potentially Quarians being left behind. We know there will be Krogan, its safe to assume the other 3 Citadel species will be included. I would like the Batarians, Geth, and Quarians to stay on though. the rest can burn in Reaper fires. In fact I want the Elcor and Hanar to burn. The Volus are kinda mehhh. I have always wished for a Batarian squad member since Bringing down the sky. Pre-Pinocchio Geth are my favorite and Quarians are pretty cool.

I hope they bring all the races to the new galaxy instead of abandoning them.

I want all of the races, but wouldn't this require having male and female (or at least two hermaphrotic) versions of every sexually reproducing race? Would Bioware do this? Now that I think about it, I am not sure how Elcor, Hanar, or Volus reproduce. And even less sure if I want to know.

You assume every race has aesthetically different genders. Who's to say female Volus don't look just like the males? Same goes for Elcor, Hanar and Salarians. They would really only need to add a few new models.

True. They have shown Salarian females and they are slightly different. I don't think any females of the other species were shown (assuming sexual dimorphism exists in those species) so it would work in their cases.

 Never understood the hype over the Raloi. They're nothing but a name. I don't tend to get excited over little more than a name. 

 

 

I'm all for the the existing species being fully represented. I've been advocating for a Rachni squadmate along with a Batarian squadmate for quite some time. I don't think the Vorcha are all that necessary. But maybe throw in a lone representative of their species on the ship as the npc in charge of plumbing or something. Plus, our resident BSN Vorcha guy would probably be pretty pissed if there were none in the game. And nobody wants to be on his s*** list.

We saw Krogan and Turian females in ME3.

Quarians are my biggest concern. I very much hope they're included, though I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't.

I would put money on the Quarians and Geth being included. Both races are very popular and you really can't have one without the other.

[SardaukarElite]

I think that would depend on whether they take the Ark-leaves-before-the-plot-breaks option as suggested.

[Ahglock]

I would not be opposed to all species making the journey.  It would make sense if you are making a multi-species ark that you would linclude most if not all the species. I can see conflict races like the rachni or geth being excluded for decent reasons by the council or whoever is organizing it but I can see a save all life mandate as well.  Too leave a species behind is tantamount to committing genocide yourself in some sense.

I'm all for every race returning. But My biggest question in this whole ark theory is;
How massive is this "Ark"?
If we have to settle multiple planets, the amount of personal and equipment would require a vessel extremely large.

Not necessarily. The Ark team(ARKCON?) could make the trip with a small number of each race but have genetic material from every race to seed populations of millions of every race in Andromeda. Think of 'Interstellar' and their plan to seed another world.
Also, they released that concept art of a large, Citadel-like station that could be our ark.

We saw Krogan and Turian females in ME3.

From what I hear, the turian females only appeared via DLC...to those like myself that haven't played those, it kind of doesn't count. That said, I'm curious enough to consult the Googles.

...so you think the tree doesn't make a sound?

Well, technically someone WAS in the forest it just wasn't him/her.

I can see them dropping the Quarians and the Geth as that would require some serious hand-waving about some choices in ME3.

[agonis]

I´m fed up with human supremacy. In every sf series it´s the same: human values here, human values there. Special snowflakes all of us. We are the galactic Mary Sues.

 

If they go to Andromeda with an Ark (once again human mythology), they better go all.

Yeah you're right, but I don't see that changing.. ever.

But if that's the case,
then they'd have to drop the Krogans as well, if the Genophage was/wasn't cured.
And batarians since they're an endangered species.

Interesting,
But this method would mean there's no active colonies and no need to defend them and no interaction.
Now a citadel sized vessel,
That'd be plenty large enough to house enough personal and equipment to establish colonies.
But which concept art?

[Wulfram]

I just hope the inclusion or not will make sense in universe, rather than just being based on who is popular/marketable.
