No Turian Females

[Alkore]

Is it just me or are there no turian females in either mass effect one or two?

 

[Koeryn]

Huh. Ya know, I don't recall seeing any. Or seeing anything about why they would be sequestered.

 

[Davrel]

Ye, I think that is the case. Maybe they split like amoebas or are just SO ugly they couldn't be portrayed.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Aside from the Krogans, do any of the dominant races' opposite sex make an appearance?

 

[Sky Captanio]

No Krogan, Salarian, Elcor, Hanar, Or Volus females either. Well maybe in Mass Effect 3...

 

[Mozza444]

I think you are on to something..

I wonder how they reproduce?

 

[Axeli]

Kinda wondered about that... Which also made me wonder if there's a lesbian romance option after all.

Since the codex offers no explanation, I would assume humans just really can't tell apart Turian sexes.

Turian's have yet to have a feminist movement and still live under a male rule so they are not allowed off the planet and are only aloud to reproduce or take care of the offspring.

or

Turian females are like spartan women who stay on the home planet to defend it in time of need.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Bioware hates hiring female voice actors.

So they hire the main ones...And that's it.

 

[reg42]

Maybe you should just read the Codex, they usually hold the answers

 

[AboveUp]

Mass Effect 1 didn't have them because of time and budget limitations. Mass Effect 2 didn't have them because... er... Nobody knows.

It would be nice to see female Turians, especially after Garrus' "I had reach, she had flexibility" speech.

No Krogan, Salarian, Elcor, Hanar, Or Volus females either. Well maybe in Mass Effect 3...

Do you really think you could tell Elcor, Hanar, and Volus apart by gender?
Salarians are 90% male, so that makes a little more sense.
I am fairly certain that since Turians are bug-lizards (Neither genus has breasts) they wouldn't have many external gender characteristics that you could see while they were wearing clothes. Can you tell a male lizard from a female lizard by simply looking at one?

 

[zauxz]

There werent any quarrian males in ME1 too, so I'm guessing we'll se them in ME 3.

 

[Delock]

Atleast they finally got male quarians (or just quarians in general). Now they just need Salarians, Krogan, Turians, Hanar, Drells, Elcor, Volus, and Batarians. Though, the salarians were mentioned in the codex of one of the two games as being 90% male, so they at least have an excuse for this.

This. How do people know that they have not already seen female turians/volus/hanar etc? I can't tell the gender of many animals simply by looking at them. People treat other sentient beings similar to humans in their gender differences, i.e. females, with breasts, feminine voices etc. That may not be the case for many of the races in the ME universe.

You mean Quarian? Because ME2 did have plenty of make Quarians... Now that I think about it, was Tali the only Quarian you ever meet in ME1?

All the Krogan females are kept on their homeworld in seperate tribes.
There is a "similar" thing for Salarians.

We only see about three Elcor through both games, quite possible they would all be male by chance.

There is absolutely no way to tell if we'd seen a female Hanar or not.

And the Volus live in their suits the whole time, half of the ones we met could have been female.

It is possible that female Turians look just like males and we have met some, but you'd think the game would mention that.
The Turians are basically the only species in game that doesn't have a reasonable explanation as to why they are all apparently male.

What about voices? Just 'cause Hanar look the same and volus are in suits doesn't mean there voices don't change. And Quarians wear suits as well and they look very different.

Quarians were meant to seem attractive to humans, which is why there could not be gender confusion.

Elcor, Hanar, Volus, Krogan, Turian, Batarian... Not so much. Half of them are pretty much there only for comic relief or "See, not all aliens are just humans with blue skin. We still mainly focus on the blue space babes though."
