What is your favorite alien race in Mass Effect? I like the Turians the best; they look cool and have an admirable code of honor that extends throughout their entire race. I do find it odd, though, that you never see any female Turians in either game.

What, no Elcor?

Disappointed: I guess the Elcor just aren't important enough. Cautious optimism: Maybe it was just an innocent oversight.

That's because they didn't have the development time or funding to do 2 different variants of most races. You'll notice in ME1 there's only male Krogan, Turians and Hanaar. I think they just didn't bother with ME2 to keep it uniformed. Turian's did kick ass as a race tho :D Garrus was a welcome return in ME2!

The Asari are my favourite, but I think all the races in Mass Effect are fairly awesome.

UT_Wrestler

Because the Turian women follow that code of honor as well and go where they are needed (you know, the kitchen...) :lol: jk

As far as my favorite race, I like the Turians for their military might... I wish there was a Mass Effect movie about the First Contact War (the war where Humans first encountered an alien race, the Turians)... The Mass Effect 1 codex get really into the backstory of the Systems Alliance, the First Contact War, and all of that... I love listening to it :)

I don't know, the Asari are pretty hot for an alien race, I feel like Captain Kirk whenever I talk to an Asari.

I hate Hanaar, if they weren't invincable I would interigate one and find its home planet and blow it up with the death star.

This one is greatly saddened with your attitude. This one recommends you take a flying jump off the nearest cliff.

I wouldn't hate them so much if they weren't so religious and they didn't speak in third person.

I think the first time I saw a Hanar I shot it because I thought it was Biowares way of making fun of Metroids.

Thane is a Drell, Garrus is a Turian. Try reading the codexes every now and then.

Definitely the Turians due to how honorable they are. The thing that astounds me the most is that they aren't very corrupt. They seem like a race that can be trusted throughout the series. Heck even the criminals are honorable which is shocking.

As am I. If you haven't noticed, I love me some Tali. Plus, the Quarians have damn cool names, in some cases cool accents, and sweet body suits.

No I bet they all like one of three Turians Nihilius, Saren and Garrus.

Nihilius was awesome and he would also make for an amazing Mass Effect prequel

Indignant: The Elcor are far too important to be lumped into an "other" category with the lesser races. Snide: You obviously haven't seen the all-Elcor production of Hamlet.
