I'm not racist, but....

[Wolfram23]

I really can't stand Batarians or Vorcha. They look like crap and they probably all smell. And 4 eyes? gross man. Gross.

The thought of a Batarian having some sort of artform or literature or even music makes me hate them more.

What are these things the OP is talking about?
They sound like they are made up.

I agree; I have no idea.

This thread is pretty bad... no context, explanation, nor discussion value.

EscChaos your point is too true... and im not even asking for something that in depth. Maybe just friendlier npcs or vendors instead of a dude literally standing on a soap box shouting '**** all humans'
Those damn Baties make it hard for me when im playing paragon...there the one part of the universe i wish i didnt have to save

 

[Distorted Stu]

The Krogan piss me off. Sure they are brutes, but they should belong on their own planet. They are too stupid to survive in space. Alot like the Vocha

 

[Mathak]

seriously imagine what they would consider art or music....it would be sick...and Vorcha...well okay at least they have a reason for being one note, but the Batarians are supposed to be a proper space faring race and theya are all dicks. all of them. all the other races seem okay

To be fair, the Batarian government is rather totalitarian, with travel outside their borders strictly forbidden. The only Batarians you meet are the ones who blasted through a few dozen Batarian Space-police to get out. The nice ones (who stopped to ask 'can't we talk about this, guys?') didn't make it.

OT, fuck Varren. Infectin' ma Normandy with scale itch.

hmm didnt really consider that... i guess i should check out all my facts before shooting my mouth off... thanks dude...still... why did the guy i try to save in that quarenteen zone on omega have to be such a dick? he is an ass so therefore his entire race must be!

Dammit Kelly. No more shore leave for you.

You're not racist, you're specist.

Meaning it's not racist because they clearly aren't a different race?

 

[Azex]

to clear up the whole racist/speciest/xenophobic thing...the way the word racist is used is outdated in ME as in our current context it subdivedes humanity. in ME we know humanity is one of many galactic races so when i say racist i mean non human aliens

 

[Something Amyss]

You can't be a racist if you don't like something/someone that isn't real.

It's a race. He's just fictionally racist. >.>

 

[TheKruzdawg]

Sometimes I feel like being "that guy" and telling the Elcor to hurry up and get to the point.

Also, I want to know where the hell the hanar keep their faces.

Not to mention, in the ME world, we really have bred into more or less one large culture.

I'm not sure it ever says this in the games, but the novels, written by one of the authors of the game itself, goes to great lengths to describe the phenomenon.

Also, they point out that with REAL aliens to fear, the guys just over the border seem less scary. Not in those words, but still.

We should enslave them. They arent even human!

 

[DustyDrB]

For those who aren't familiar with Mass Effect...

A Batarian:

and a Vorcha:

And I do love hitting Vorcha with Incinerate.

 

[Azex]

inb4 Pro Vorcha and Batarian groups start bitching that those are unflatering pics

 

[Cat of Doom]

For me its the hanar, they take forever to get talk and I cant remember how they talk, i know its through speaking however. I dont understand how they, on their water world developed space travel,and how they handle tools. I think bioware should explain there culture and developement more in the next game. A bit more on the elcor would be nice to, i would like to see a hanar or elcor ship.

I dont dislike the votua or batarians, I just think there bland and havent been explained well. I mean there entire race cant be evil and agngry. I love the volus though, think there interesting tbh.

What I do hate are aliens that are indistinguishable from one another, it just makes them seem less real when they all look the same.

 

[Azex]

truely the only bland ones, at least from my PoV are those Baties and their 4 eyse >
Im quite intrested in all the races and ultimatly how they reflect us here in RL since all of this was mad up by humans and i can see traits of humanity across all the races in ME.

But its like when they mad batariens all was left was the asshole bits
