I don't see Batarians coming back and honestly I wouldn't miss them. It was mentioned in the 3rd game that they were one of the first attacked when the Reapers arrived.

[Miserybot]

I love the Geth, but I honestly am not expecting to see them in Andromeda. Because, you know, the Destroy ending. No ending is canon, but they still all need to be accounted for. And that is assuming this takes place after ME3, which I'm not clear on.

Dealing with such vastly different endings would be impossible, so if the ark leaves before the end of ME3 you get round that issue in one easy step.  Therefore Geth could be onboard, but I doubt they'd make the cut.  

[Catastrophy]

Nah, already proven space hamsters are in Mass Effect

 

This! What happened to Space Hamster! I demand closure!

The geth have mostly been useful as killer robots to fight. Once they were neutralized, either by making allies out of them or destroying them, their role was pretty much finished.

I sure hope there's an Elcor aboard the ARK. 

 

 

Better yet, I hope he's a commanding officer. 

 

 

Because an Elcor-less Andromeda would make me a sad panda.

I agree. Space Hamster needs a sequel to take place in the milky way to learn what happened to him. Make him a squadmate or at least have a major role in the game.

I'm dead serious. I already lost Shepard. I don't know if I could endure another loss of this magnitude.

[ABASOVA]

Asari, salarians, turians, and humans will make the trip of course.

 

Hanar (with their drell), elcor, and volus will probably make it because they are all Council species.

 

The pariahs that will make it are the krogan and quarians.

 

The pariahs that will probably not make it are the batarians, geth, rachni, and vorcha.

[animedreamer]

They'll all make it because BioWare isn't likely going to just dump any of their previous creations. well maybe not the Protheans or at least not as we knew them (Javik style). But I expect to see every race from our(?) cycle to make it into the new series.

Assumption: The Citadel meatbag races would all have a place on board this 'Ark', I would think. That would mean that, at a very minimum, there are, asari , drell,  elcor, hanar, humans,  salarians, turians and volus on board. Each would have their own function, and some would have higher status than others, much like the Citadel is in the first 3 Mass Effect games. The asari, humans, salarians and turians would hold most of the power and military. Elcor, hanar and volus would have more supporting roles, such as maintenance and technical duties and in the case of the volus, they might become quartermasters.

Speculation: What is to be done with the non-Citadel meatbags is a little harder to say. I often find that a list is helpful in this kind of scenario.

List:

Batarians(Unlikely to be given a spot, but could easily stowaway aboard the ship).
Geth(Doubtful, but some meatbags, being of sound mind, hold sentience machines such as the Geth quite dear. It is possible the Masters will find some way to handwave them aboard the 'Ark'.)

Krogan(We have a confirmed Krogan meatbag as a squadmate, so we know they are going to be there.)

Quarian(The Quarian meatbags have some experience at wandering the galaxy without a home. It might be best to bring experienced hands on this kind of journey. As either full partners or refugees, the Quarians will be there. How many of them is tough to say.)

Rachni(No. Might be interesting, but no. As Mordin would say, "Too many variables".)

Raloi(Isolationists rarely get invited to the good parties.)

Vorcha(Highly doubtful unless they were brought in as cannon fodder. Which is fine, but why not just use the humans?)

Yahg(Isolationists again, and rabid xenophobes as well. They won't be there.)

[Darth_Trethon]

Most obvious one that comes to mind are the extinct Krogans.

[vbibbi]

Hamsters

 

Humanity had to leave them behind, poor cute little furry creatures. A few humans tried to advocate for their inclusion but were unable to convince the secret council of their usefulness to crew morale.

 

#RIPSpaceHamster you were the best of us

I'm sure they could smuggle hamsters in...one hole- er, way or another.

 

Probably, that's true but i also said that they don't have to be in the game. I'm guessing that they will still be part of the universe (meaning that they will be in Andrómeda) even if we don't see them.

This would be hilarious if all races were "present" but not on screen. "Oh, you just missed the elcor! Quick, if you run fast you can catch him!" And then somehow we can't outpace an elcor walking.

 

Confirmed races thus far:

 

Human

Salarian

Krogan

Asari (possibility)

There's no way asari would not be included. Imagine the horny male fanrage without them.

 

Think Vorcha are for the chop. Don't see them fitting the ethos of the mission or being of particular interest.

Geth likely will be on the block too. Hostile for most of the 3 games. Can't see a way they could be included sensibly. AI similar to EDI are more likely.

Batarians maybe gone too since they are hostile and mostly wiped out at start of ME3.

I  expect Quarians will make the cut due to their popularity.

Hope some of the interesting minor races like the Hanar, Elcor make it.

Story wise I can see how the vorcha wouldn't be on the ark. But they were able to spread to so many worlds because they stowed away on ships visiting their planet.

 

The vorcha are not themselves a space-faring race, although many have found their way off-world as stowaways on ships visiting their homeworld. The vorcha who escaped their hostile homeworld did so by hiding on the ships of space-faring races that had the misfortune of visiting their planet. Their adaptability and resilience allows them to flourish in the dark and dirty corners of the places they end up.

 

Sounds like an excellent source of mook cannon fodder.

[Jaulen]

Too bad for the Drell...it appears the dessert like setting on at least one of the planets we've seen would be perfect habitat for them.

But I don't see them coming along.

 

Quarians I don't see coming along, too environmentally 'delicate'. But they might be possibly useful as technicians, but I see their enviro-suits being a liability.

 

Volas, don't see them coming, the enviro suits they need (same issue as the Quarians), too touchy, plus, once cut off from the Milky Way Galaxy, what good would they be? Cut off from their funding sources (although a token one or two might be on the ship as 'investors')....

 

Hanar, please no. All we need, some 'Creators' zealot trying to contact the reapers back in the MWG and letting them know where we are.

 

Elcor, meh. Nothing much was really done with them in the first place other than comic bits.

 

Vorcha,meh. If going to repopulate, why would you want to take a 'skanky underworld' type of race (specie-ism!)

 

Batarians, after ME2. don't think the major races are on good terms with them, I could see them trying to sabotage things if they thought they could get the upper hand and kill off the rest of the species.

 

Krograns, shock troops, they're going to be there.

The counsel races will be there. 

 

 

Now if each of the races had something to add/invest in the development/construction of the Arc, that could be a reason for any species to b there. (think the Chinese astronaut on the Aries 5(?) mission from The Martian, 'If I give you this, what will you give me in return?')

[NM_Che56]

I could see the Vorcha and the Batarians getting scrapped.

 

Assuming that the mission to Andromeda starts before the end of the trilogy, here's why:

 

Vorcha: They are seen as pests and a blight.  When you move to a new house or apartment, you don't take your junk with you. LOL.  Also, their society is built around combat and they have very short lifespans...and questionable hygiene. 

 

Batarians: As a society, they are openly hostile towards the rest of the galaxy.  

 

So, I don't see "strife" being built into the expedition.

Have you ever been in an argentine party on the beach were there are many bonfires and you can hear the roar of the engines just above the sound of the waves breaking against the docks and every now and then, some random person that you've never met passes you something to drink and you talk and laugh for hours with people..and nobody knows each others names or where they come from? No? well, it happens quite often xD
It's not hilarious! it's life!
Secondary characters on screen it's too gamey, someone would say jajajaja besides, wasn't Hackett's first appearence in the Arrival dlc? all the races do not NEED to be in the first game

[KamuiStorm]

I would disagree on the vorcha getting scrapped seeing as their only saving grace is their adaptation I find they'd be welcomed on-board the ark if not to partake on the mission at the very least be used as test subjects to transfer their adaptation to the remaining species. It's what I would do, why waste valuable assets?

Then again a krogan with hyper regeneration might not be ideal especially if the genophage being cured is Canon.

No, I can't say that I've been in that oddly specific scenario before.

 

I wasn't dissing the idea, just thought the idea was funny if viewing it through the "lens" of the TV. I agree that a good method of including all of the races would be if we are only permitted to visit 2 or 3 colonies, knowing that there are multiple other colonies in the galaxy with other races in them. Just like we don't actually go to any of the homeworlds in ME1 but still know that those races would exist if they weren't visible on the Citadel.

[NM_Che56]

I see all the races making a return. Just because we don't have companions or important secondary characters of those species, doesn't mean that there are not some of them somewhere else.
I mean, really? would you get rid of Blasto? or the shakespearean elcor? not happening

I wouldn't be bothered if all of them stayed; however, there is a possibility (though slight) that not every species will make the cut.

[Han Shot First]

I hope all the familiar species from the Milky Way make it, with the exception of the Yahg or the Raloi. While I wouldn't mind both species playing a role in a Milky Way sequel, it would be hard to justify them getting to Andromeda from a story perspective. Those two should definitely be left behind.

 

If Bioware were to leave some other species out of the sequel, I think the ones liable to end up on the cutting room floor are the minor species or those that didn't have characters in the Shepard trilogy who were fan favorites. The Turians, Asari, Salarians, and Krogan would most likely be safe. So would the Quarians. 

 

Actually we know the Krogan are returning, since we've now seen Krogan in both concept art and a trailer. 

 

If some of the leaks are legit Asari and Salarians will be returning as well, since the first supposed leak mentioned being shown renderings of those two species in the new engine. (as well as Krogan)

[NM_Che56]

I see Batarians making it before Yagh

[kathic]

I'd leave the Batarians behind. I may take a shot at them as I leave. I don't imagine the Hanar or the Elcor will make it. I hope some Quarians make it but that seems unlikely.

Yep, another reason I don't see the Batarians coming back. I don't think they really liked any of the other races.
