what will you do with them?
I'm pulling a Salarian move uplift then go Prothean and conscript them. Drack and his Krogan goonies will be the enforcers.

Primitives according to who? Maybe YOU are primitive to the Khet......whatchathinkofdat dood? Maybe they'll uplift you, subjugate you and make you their beach.
Kinda like this. She's the Khet, you are HIM. She can ride you whenever she wants, she'll let you up IF she wants and there's nothing you can do about it.

Maybe i wouldn't mind if she "Rode" me....
I seriously hope they make one or two primitive species in Andromeda, would be interesting.
That being said already, I want them as allies... sharing our knowledge, technology, trade cultural information as well through paragon and renegade dialogues. Yes renegade, say if one of the primitives is a rogue, threat or whatever either to their own species or to the other and sharing stuff with him/her/it will probably be considered as a dark choice. Consequences of both is of course needed to spice up the story. This scenario will definitely fit and hope BioWare pulls this off.
I HOPE WE HAVE A PRIMITIVE SQUADMATE
This would be a very interesting moral conundrum. The decision to affect the entire future of an alien race. If it is included I hope it will be consequential and not there just for the lulz like the Rachni apparently were...
Pft, primitives... I mean, if they did spent all their time frolicking in their woods, praying to the sun(s) above and be all "one with nature" and stuff, instead of urbanizing their planet, discover space-flight and enhanced weaponry, have pornography readily availabe 24h and an equivalent to Kayna West and Miley Cyrus? Why should we bother?
Maybe they will be allowed to build some casinos and nightclubs once we have settled in, but that's it! All your planet are belong to us!

After we strip the unobtanium from under their treehouses, they can work our mining facilities, while the select elite can be gladiators in our outer rim colosseums. My gods, it will be beautiful.
I'd turn a blind eye to any would-be Prime Directive-style rules and pull a James T. Kirk on them all to see our spaceship land on their lawn.
Mate?
Given that the pool of explorers will be drawn from around here, I'm pretty sure that ship has sailed.
I'll channel my inner Spike
"You won. All right? You came in and you killed them and you took their land. That's what conquering nations do. It's what Caesar did, and he's not goin' around saying, I came, I conquered, I felt really bad about it. The history of the world is not people making friends. You had better weapons, and you massacred them. End of story."
Can we mate with the Primitives? I'm sorta feeling like doing it Monkey style in some cave would be a pretty unforgettable experience all of a sudden.
I'm all for breaking the Prime Directive if it means saving a species from extinction.
Seriously, every time the later series of Star Trek called the characters "enlightened" for standing by and watching innocent species die from easily preventable calamities (that could have been accomplished without anyone on the planet even knowing), I wanted to smack them upside the head.
We uplift them and then modify their dna so that we can control......ahem...wrong story.
If we are not pathetically outmatched by whatever the Andromeda galaxy has to offer I'm going to probably yawn through most of ME4.
Player power fantasies are a million times worse than even the "humans are special" trope.
Player power fantasies are a million times worse than even the "humans are special" trope.
Actually the entire premise that aliens are much more powerful than us (and we have to change the tide) is an old trope that was used in almost every sci-fi setting I can think of.
Instead dwelling into the moral issues of interfereing with primite civilization affairs offer a much better and fresher perspective than the trite Ancient powerful aliens of doom.
It could be nice to see a first contact scenario with a species that have some space capability, where humanity accidentally stumbles upon them in the middle of some exploration and has to avoid starting another First Contact War, with humanity now in the Turian's shoes.
