I saw this and just realized how true it was, and I didn’t notice it either.
I can understand not seeing many female Krogan’s since they make it sound like they are almost used as currency. It does seem odd no matter what the reasons that we don’t see the opposite sex of all the races that we’ve seen in the game.
Maybe in one of the downloadable content we can see some or at least in the final game.

Hmm, I thought they were actually unisex?

Same thing: they only have one sex, namely female. Look at the Codex - "an all-female race" is their definition right at the beginning.

Same with Volus, no females. Dont even want to start on Hanar because who knows

[ehuntington]

There's a lot of missing bits in the Mass Effect universe, and it really detracts. There aren't any female Turians, Salarians, Krogan, Batarians, Elcor, Hanar(?), Volus or Vorcha(?). It seems lazy to me. I'm sure they've got concept art or something to build from. Maybe Bioware can release a Mass Effect encyclopedia or something that has all the missing pieces in it.

Just because the other races are humanoid doesn't mean they have to have females with big old ****** or big old child bearing hips to signify they're female. They're are alien, not human. Why impose human gender qualities on ALL aliens? Even in the animal kingdom both sexes can appear similar - sometimes only a slight difference in size.



I haven't seen a blonde woman in either ME1 or ME2. Does that detract from the game? No. It's a role play game - nothing is to stop you from assuming what an alien npc's gender is.

Im not saying they have to be human parallels, it would just be nice to have some differentiation or let us know they are asexual

Not seeing many (or any) blonde humans makes actual sense however, at least somewhat.
Aparrently Bioware wanted to make Miranda blonde at first., but then decided that dark hair looked better with her uniform (see artbook).

A turian on Illium has a conversation in the bar (either with quarian or in the bachelor party) and he tells that tehre aren't many Turian women on this planet. So they exist, just Bioware hides them from us.

During the pre-release chats with the developers somebody asked this question. I don't remember who it was, but he responded, "how do you know you haven't" in a kind of joking tone. I doubt that's the definitive, official, answer, but they did throw it out there.

The Salarian on the council could be female; according to the codex, only the women get involved in politics.

And according to Mordin Solus, the vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vaaaast majourity of Salarian wimmenz hang out on the homeworlds.

A spoiler... but isnt there a dead Korgan female on that Krogan homeworld? I never took time to look closely when Moridin was doing his thing.

*MINOR SPOILER AHEAD* There's also a female Krogan in the Urdnot camp. Apparently they look exactly like the males, but have a more high-pitched voice.

I wouldn't be surprised if Turian, Salarian, and Krogan females looked pretty much the same as males. I'm fully expecting to see a female Turian or Krogan as a squad-member in the next game.



I actually think that Vorcha are probably hermaphrodites, which would fit their adaptability theme.

I thought the same thing - the envoy from the female clans looked and even sounded almost exactly like the other krogan. The voice was hardly feminine and somewhat higher pitched. Still gravely like all the other Krogan.

[Sashem]

Garrus was female

I'm guessing that quote was meant to target me, but not yourself. xD
But, yeah, Krogan females have little to differentiate them from males.

That Korgan isnt female. He's just a younger male.

[Heliosas]

If the female Krogan look like the males, its little wonder they go off to war all the time xD

The Krogan in the camp by the shaman on the 2nd floor is a female.  she states that she is the emissary of the female camp.

[trickfred]

I don't understand why they don't just give a female voice to a few random turian NPCs. Problem solved. If they're avian, it's not like they'd have to have mammary glands. Or just use a different style of face markings on the same head for females. They could even recycle the 'all turians look the same to humans' joke, making fun of the player for not being to tell the difference between male/female.

True, but that doesn't mean much, I mean, a position on the council is pretty important.

Like in Gears of War, the female Locusts are Berserkers, big and ugly looking, I thought that was a neat idea.  Don't know what to expect from ME3, but I hope we get races that are less humanoid but still sentient.

...or at the very least a Blasto minigame.

[tthammy]

i think female turians might be so ugly that my eyes would hurt

Sorry, but I fail to see how you manage to determine that. Mind explaining?

[ShaAina Ishizu]

Maybe their culture. If the females are so important to them, do you really think they'd allow them to travel around on Tuchanka?
