It just doesn't make much sense to me for Quarians, masters of tinkering/repairing/creating stuff with their hands, to only have 3 fingers. Wouldn't 4 (not 5, we dont really need the last one, its a leftover) be more fitting for such a race?

I get they want different species, but how many has 4 fingers? Krogans have 3, Turians aswell, give Quarians 4 for the sake of diversity/sense!

Okay might be hard to change now, but it always bothered me, since 4 fingers makes more sense for such a tinkering race, IMO.

4 doesn't make any more or less sense to me than 3... o.O

[fateofman]

3 is all you need to grip things, 4 may be more clumsy, in all honesty it doesnt matter because they still use tools wich doesnt correlate to fingers

[Slayer299]

I think the number of fingers Quarians have has less to do with tinkering and more to do with their species and evolution. Their abilities at creating/repairing/tinkering would have nothing to do with the number of fingers they should have, besides, 3 fingers or 4, does it really matter?

[Foop DK]

Sure it does, have you tried cutting of 2 of your fingers then trying to fix your computer components? I have, it didnt work very well!

When you hold a pencil, you only ever use 3 fingers.



When you hold a soldering iron, you only ever use 3 fingers.



When surgeons work on a patient, they only ever hold the scalpel using 3 fingers.



When you think about it, most tools we use, we only hold them using our thumb and first 2 fingers. the last 2 fingers are never really used.

[fateofman]

in all honesty i only use my last two fingers for typing

[Tyreal42a]

Better yet, 6 fingers! Or 20! And 6 hands! And fingers on their arms. And stomach. In fact, their entire species should have just evolved into a quivering mass of fingers.

Is this really a petition to give Quarians the finger?

[TudorWolf]

You're looking at it from the perspective of having 5 fingers yourself.



The Quarians evolved with 3 fingers. Their technological stuff would be based around that, and it apparently works great.

To a Quarian 5 fingers would probably be totally bizarre looking

[Doug84]

Agreed. This finger argument is based on a human-centric view of how things are done. If we had only 3 fingers outselves, we might think 5 fingers would get in the way of each other for example

Apparently it is. When you phrase it like that, I'm tempted to support it

[Jigero]

You really only need 3, Think about it. we really only have 3 fingers, two just happen to be split in half, Tape your middle and index together, then tape your pinky and ring together, it takes some getting used to, but you will still have 98% of your dexterity.

Every species in the game that has fingers has an odd number of them. Since one would be the same as having no fingers, and anything more than five would be unwieldy, it's either three or five.

O_O you have cut off 2 of your fingers do prove you point?

This.

Those are the strongest, most nimble digits for a reason: They are the most used.

And if you never had them to start with (Or your race didn't) you wouldn't even think about it.

It's strange to the OP because he has five, therefore he thinks he needs 5.

What has been mentally seen cannot be unseen.

Ugh.

Besides, they weren't necessarily a tinkering race to begin with, that only came when they were forced to live aboard spaceships. And I'm sure they wouldn't understand why we need so many fingers when they can do just as well with only three

I tried typing with 3 fingers. It was...difficult and a lot slower. I wonder if they can match us at words per minute typing speed or what their keyboards look like.

Okay sec, gotta clooose theee wounddds getttting dizzzzzzyy so muuuuccccch bloooooooooooooooooooooooooo.................

[SarEnyaDor]

Admit it - the only reason you want them to have 5 fingers is because your mental image of Tali undressing Shep with 3 fingers gives you the shudders..... =P
