Maybe Bioware included the Krogan in the game for the reason of killing them off. The new enemy shows how powerful and deadly it is by eradicating the Krogan. Forcing the Humans and Asari to seek the help of an Andromedan race.  

 

There is no reason for the Krogan to be in this game, the pre ending ME races didn't trust them and they don't have the resources to be any help to the other races. They also have no narrative potential, are we going to have the "Cure the Genophage" plotline again?

 

Killing them off would impact the player, bolster the enemy as a deadly threat, and gets rid of some of the baggage from the last trilogy.

They remain useful 'muscle'.

The ability of any race to breed when colonizing assumes they live long enough to do so.

 

Just because Shepard may not have been aware of the Ark fleet doesn't mean Mordin was unaware.

The Salarians may well have access to the genophage research data.

These Arks are going into unknown territory, with unknown environments. Why not bring a race as hardy as the Krogan? Did you see how huge some of those new hostile aliens are in the trailer? You'd probably only need 2 Krogan to take it out instead of a full on squad of humans. Less men power will be wasted in battles with the Krogan help. So why wouldn't you bring them?

No. 

 

And get in the airlock.

I mean, let's be realistic: there's no reason for anyone to be in this game except for a ship full of the Milky Way's strongest, post-pubescent women and a metric s***load of primo sperm.  If you're looking to populate a galaxy, you don't need the men.   You need their seed and the women powerful and fertile enough to raise the maximum number of versatile and viable offspring.  It's not pretty or romantic, but it's realistic. 

 

But because this is a, "Hey fellow beings, let's go on the best road trip ever and try to get Ryder laid" -type scenario (and also a let's-not-p***-off-Gamergate-too-much scenario), we need both genders.  Which means either our male krogan are those most able to sire viable offspring (breeding stock) or those mercenaries who didn't give a s*** beyond the heft of their next paycheck and the oomph of their next fight (cannon fodder).

 

And this is why the krogan kick all the a**.

You just love posting utter trite filled with bait don't you

The Krogan were already one of the worst races, after the Genophage plotline, their narrative potential has ended. No need to waste time or resources on dead weight when you can design a new Andromedan race to replace them.

Completely subjective. I myself don't care for any race other than human. But to say Krogan are dead weights, is crazy, given you have a race like the quarians whom are actually dead weights to the galaxy and can easily be replaced by the salarians. At least the Krogans saved the galaxy from the Rachni, Quarians have done absolutely nothing.

So, how are the quarian dead weight?  I mean, aside from taking along the species that's best experienced at maintaining a massive Live Ship and scouting potentially habitable planets, you also get the most tech-savvy, culturally pliable species in Mass Effect.  With their hyperallergenic makeup, there's only a handful of worlds that they would want to contest anybody for, but with their centuries of nomad-ism, they would be willing to tag along in hopes of finding the Perfect Home ™.  That means maximum worlds for all other races and sweet levo-tears from the decreasingly hopeful quarians). And if not, those quarians recruited exile would likely be willing to offer everything in hopes for opportunity in a continuation of life as they know it, never dreaming of a world of their own.

Have you read their lore? Probably not. They like to go to other species star systems and put a strain on their resources until that species paid them to move their fleet out. There's a reason everyone call them suit rats. This is also the reason their fleet wasn't allowed in council space. That's how they're dead weights. And like I said Salarians are smart as Quarians, probably smarter. They could easily fill a Quarian role.

Partaking in that puff-puff-pass, I see.

Oh, I've read everything, I promise you.  And firstly, there's a difference between anecdotal evidence (the bad stories of a few outskirt colonies) and historical reality.  Secondly, you can't reduce the mandates of a governance to the personality of its citizens.  Third, any ties to the Migrant Fleet would be severed by the events necessitating Andromeda.  A quarian who signs on is not seeking a new homeworld for his/her species or forgiveness for their role in creating the Geth, but rather a way to survive - either the immediate Reaper holocaust or the slow suffocation of a homeless species. 

 

There is no reason for a quarian aboard the ark to care about anything greater than the loss of their life or any less than the loss of potential of their species.  Once again, I feel they are perfectly suited to a mission of this caliber, if only for the expertise they offer in the face of almost certain gradual suicide.

I was never speaking about what the Quarians can give to the Andromeda mission, because truth be told every main race have something to give to the mission. They all should be considered. You asked me how are the Quarians dead weight, and I explained it to you. As I said they have contributed nothing to the galaxy, compared to the Krogans who actually fought the Rachni for the galaxy.

Gosh, you're just full of ideas! Aren't you?

[Dalinne]

Kill off a species just for the sake of it sounds very impractical from a narrative POV.
