Mass Effect 3 DLC

[Ratboy1337]

Speak for yourself New York. I was hoping for more species on your single player team. Including Vorcha. Though I really want an Elcor. Organic tank. nuff said

It would take you months to finish the game with an Elcor tank given how slow they move. Hell, what do you do when you come to one of those 3 ft gaps you have to jump? WHAT THEN?

I think the fly across, I mean we've never seen an Elcor NOT fly, haven't se?

I believe you're thinking of a Hanar, not Elcor.

Regarding the Elcor mobility issue, two words: Elcor motherfucking vanguard.

I always just assumed that they could move much faster if they really needed to, they just didn't out of habit due to coming from a high gravity world where that could be extremely dangerous.

The codex bears you out as far as the root cause & I'm sure Elcor have extraordinary strength but I'd imagine any large animals evolved on Dekuuna (the high-G Elcor homeworld) would be evolved to moving slowly. Terrestrial mammals have specialized muscle fibers for rapid motion and as you pointed out on a high-G world that ability would actually be a disadvantage. Also, any Elcor that wasn't raised off-world would likely be musclebound as hell from all the excercise.
An interesting thought though, perhaps an Elcor cyborg...

I don't see Elcor becoming a playable race in the MP because of their design. All the races so far have been humanoid and they would have to make a bunch of special animations for the Elcor, rather than just pasting in the same ones for every other race. Not to say that BioWare wouldn't, but I doubt they would do it in a free DLC, considering how much more work it would take to make a playable Elcor class a reality
