I think Zaeed would have been much more interesting if he had been a Batarian as well, but then, they'd probably would have had to re write his entire backstory.

Not really. Zaeed co-founded the Blue Suns mercenary group, then he was betrayed and spent the last twenty years hunting down Vido. There's nothing uniquely human about that background.

As someone who prefers the Colonist background, I would have loved to see Shepard recruit a batarian squadmate in ME2. It could have made for some very interesting discussions.

Batarians and Vorcha will always be villains. You can tell because they're hideously ugly.

The rest of the sentient races are either suited or have the capacity to be physically attractive. What's that, you say? Elcor? Eeyore. Bam. Now any girl who's ever seen Winnie the Poo thinks they're adorable.


Well, I don't think that batarians are that ugly. Much better looking (and sounding) than volus, anyway.

As for having one as a squadmate, I think is could be interesting. But only as long as I have an option to put a bullet through each of it's eyes the moment it says that slavery is somehow acceptable:devil:

Hmm, the more I think about is, the weirder it seems. I have no problem with squadmates who kill people for fun and/or profit and indulge in acts of wanton destruction, yet I do have problem with slavers...Interesting.

Yes but only if his name is Balak, and i get to use a renegade interrupt to push him out the airlock.

I like batarians, though I never know which pair of eyes to look at

very awesome.

As for the Batarian slavery issue, I definitely think our Batarian should not be a softie. He should be mature and articulate but not absolutely paragon or renegade. He should support some of the Batarian culture and regret or resent other parts of it. I definitely don't want an all paragon or all renegade character, shades of grey please.

Batarians are the ugliest damn alien race I have ever seen. They're faces look like multiple asses fused together.

I would not mind a batarian squad member in ME3 at all.



Not sure if anyone mentioned it in this topic, but Garrus mentioned one of this team members that he recruited to fight the gangs in Omega was a batarian tech specialist.



They're pretty ugly to look at though I agree, I think the developers intended that. Not all batarians are bad if one teamed up with Garrus to fight against crime.

My very own Batarian squadmate! I can see it now...



Shepard: Blachar! Operation Meatshield!



Blachar: But...there's a LOT of Geth out there...



Shepard: *tosses grenade up and down on his palm* Or I could shove this down your throat and shove you at them.



Blachar: I...



Shepard: Plan A or Plan B!



Blachar: Plan A! Plan A!



-5 Minutes Later-



Shepard: Miranda! I lost another Batarian Squadmate. Capture me another one!



Miranda: Expendable Meatshield coming right up, commander.

Lots of people wanted a batarian squadmate prior to ME2's release, but eventually all the characters were revealed so hope for a batarian squaddie died down.

I personally would love one.



Oh and I can never believe how mindlessly racist people on these forums can be to a fictional race.

I thought people were smarter than that?

Batarians have aligned themselves against Humanity. You are a human.

I thought people were smarter than to side with the enemy of their species rather than with their species ;)

Oh and by the way...I can see that you're very used to using the term "racist", but in this case...
Specist? Speciesist? Curses! Well, my point is that we're talking about SPECIES, not RACES.

Races have very little discernable difference, DNA wise. Now, between Species...whole new shabang. We can expect sharks to try to eat us. We can expect birds to fly. Stereotyping is allowed with species, even to politically-correct types such as yourself.

The batarian governemnt is against humanity, not its people, if you believe that if a country's/planet's government is corrupt than all its civilians are also corrupt and deserve punishment, than you sir are an idiot.

On an unrelated note I have no obligation to humanity specifically, purely because I am human. (but thats a completely different argument)

Everyone in the ME universe calls it racism, if you've got a problem with that **** to Bioware.

After all, how many people thought that a ugly Salarian would become a squadmate in ME2 before it was announced?

Now now, let's not degenerate to baseless name calling.

"The Batarian Government is against Humanity, not its people"-What? Humanity is composed of it's people, hate to break it to you. Now if you said that the Batarian Gov is against the ALLIANCE that would make more sense since the Alliance is a government of sorts.

You have to admit, most Batarians you encounter are rather hostile. One of them even poisons you just for having the audicity of ordering a drink! I'm told he poisons you no matter how politically correct you are, so even your paragon-shep isn't safe.

"Everyone in the ME universe calls it racism, if you've got a problem with that **** to Bioware" -Well, if you want to keep calling a frog a llama because a video game does it too, more power to you. Or less power to you. Whatever floats your normandy.

I don't think you understood what I meant, the batarian government are the ones that are corrupt, each and every individual batarian would have its own opinion, some good some bad.

You have to admit, most Batarians you encounter are rather hostile.

That doesn't mean all batarians are hostile, surely you can't believe that?
The only batarians we see are on Omega which practically everyone on Omega is corrupt, regardless of species.

One of them even poisons you just for having the audicity of ordering a drink! I'm told he poisons you no matter how politically correct you are, so even your paragon-shep isn't safe.

My Shepard is very much a renegade, just not mindlessly racist.

"Everyone in the ME universe calls it racism, if you've got a problem with that **** to Bioware" -Well, if you want to keep calling a frog a llama because a video game does it too, more power to you. Or less power to you. Whatever floats your normandy.

Now you're just arguing with the games lore.
