If we get a Turian squaddie, it should be someone unique.
A Turian Cabal.
Simply put humans and turian have tons of overlap in combat. They serve similar roles to humans but with better tech and lesser biotics.
Otherwise I think a Turian can wait until the next game.
They got tons of airtime in the trilogy and Garrus was with us for everything. Turians were well represented.
If you think turians are so much lesser as biotics than humans, you're forgetting the Turian Cabalist in multiplayer. She was ridiculous with her poisonous biotic dash. Really fun to play, but really overpowered.
Turian biotics undergo highly specialized training, and serve in their own units. They probably use their abilities differently from humans, but that wouldn't make them less powerful. There's a reason non-biotic turians fear the cabals.
Yes, screw the Asari.
They specifically admit that Asari aren't the best for the frontlines. Other races are better for trekking into the unknown.
It's strange that asari are made out to be so much weaker/unsuitable for front line combat. I know they are all biotic, but considering they're all female and monogendered and that's all they ever had on their planet, well... There wouldn't ever have been division of labor between genders. There were no male asari to chop wood, till the soil, hunt the game, etc. that we normally attribute as "male" tasks, even if women did participate in said tasks (whether or not they did so on a regular basis). There were no male asari to serve as soldiers to spare the female asari for childbearing, nor did any male asari take over the tasks of construction work or sewage work or become welders or electricians. The only asari there ever were, are asari. So actually I'd expect them to be perfectly capable of doing anything they need to, and yet... we're told that they aren't. Biotics can only go so far; I doubt they have the finesse to use biotics to do every single task ever. So it's actually surprising that they aren't a bit bulkier/more muscular in build, and smaller-chested (sorry guys but boobs are often a hindrance if you're trying to do physical labor, and surely plenty of asari need to!). And then also take into consideration that not every asari is going to be equal in terms of her biotic ability!
I'm not declaring women incapable of doing these tasks, but rather I'm saying the asari definitely had to, prior to encountering any other race--and they encountered salarians first as I recall, so how did that change anything??? Yet we're presented with them as being unsuited to front line combat... despite centuries of having had to do all of these things that require heavy physical labor, and fighting in the front lines of their own wars before they ever encountered anyone else in the galaxy. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
It's really strange and it really makes it clear that asari weren't thought out enough beyond being "blue space babes" before they were implemented. I kind of feel the same about how fragile the salarians are, for that matter. Who's doing their heavy labor if no one seems capable of it?
Yeah, yeah. I know. Brass is over here overthinking things again...
