which would you be?
personally i would love to be an Asari just because. but as a second choice would be a tie for Krogan or A geth like Leigon. krogan to feel what the blood rage is like and Geth to see what its like being a synthetic.
so what would be your first and second choice?
thanks to Heik for this.
Turians: great combat capabilities, but they have little to no biotic capability.

Asari: Long life, and they are second to none in biotics and are good diplomats, but aren't as good at tech and are quite fragile compared to other races

Salarians: Incredibly smart, and fantastic with tech, but suffer from an incredibly short lifespan, and are even more fragile than asari

Krogan: Insane combat capabilities, long lifespans, and redundant systems up the intergalactic wazoo that make them incredibly tough and adaptable, but suffer from almost no tech and are effectively sterile, which makes them rash and desperate, which when combined with their bad tempers, usually leads to a lot of death.

Quarians:Smart, resourceful, fantastic mechanics, and they have the largest fleet in the galaxy, but they have the toughness of rice paper.

Geth: Hive mind capabilities allow them to compute at scary speeds, they are tech-gods, and have effective immortality, but they are susceptible to hacking, and the hive mind means that individual units aren't particularly bright

Elcor: Big, strong, and tough, but lack any real combat skills and are not good at much.

Volus:Great economists and businessmen, but they are incapable of breathing most atmospheres, and lets be honest, they're munchkins in bio-hazard suits.

and finally,

Humans: While they do not shine in any particular field as a whole, they are good all rounders, equally capable in tech, biotic, or combat, and diplomacy, and are a hardy species, with relatively lengthy lifespans and good healing capabilities. Also, individuals are capable of specializing their own skills and tools to maximize their ability in specifics role, sacrificing one strength to gain another.

Probably a Turian. Being an Asari would be pretty cool, but besides their awesome sexy factor their society doesn't seem that great. Turians are tough, cool, and not totally fugly.

I would like to be a Salarian... they seems pretty cool (although not really strong) and would allow me to advance science in some way.

Human, I enjoy certain portions of my anatomy too much to become an Asari, Turians are okay, but then you have to follow that whole "Military at age 15" thing, and as cool as Drell like Thane are, they only live to be about 80, whereas humans in Mass effect can live up to 150.

Maybe a Krogan, like a calm and passive one. I'd live for a thousand years (mostly due to my lack of aggression) and father a few Asari children...

Or be a Human biotic and mess with people for 150 years...

Turian is my top choice. They seem pretty cool to me and their society is likewise awesome. Asari would be interesting simply because you could live so long and thus experience so much, but I don't know if I'd want to be female (not to be sexist or anything, I just like being male).

Human; I'm particularly fond of my current physiology thank you.

I want to go on one giant interstellar boning-spree, and humans don't cause allergic reactions or... chaffing... in all dem alien bitches.

Asari for the biotics.

Turian for being awesome sarcastic assholes.

Geth for being a silent yet deadly force.

If you're going by which one I'm already the most like or can most identify with, then probably either asari or geth. If you're going by which one I'd pick just because I can, then I'm not taking any chances; screw you guys, I'm a REAPER!

first choice, Reaper, because that would be a whole new dimension of awesome.
Second place goes to Asari, for the long lifespan and nifty biotic powers.
