Sorry to be a pedant, but there is a female krogan on Tuchanka, near to the shamen and ambassador. Check it out

There is a female Krogan actually, goes by the name of Natorth. You can find her by Shaman Urdnot on Tuchanka. She's slightly smaller and has a more feminine voice by Krogan standards I guess, but unless you talk to her and get the response where she says something about the female clans it's hard to tell the difference, even less so if you're just passing by.Sky Captanio said:
There's also a female hanar, at least I assume it's a female, on the cover of Fornax. Does that count?
That said, I'd certainly like to see what a turian female looks like. There was a rather nice inofficial concept art somewhere of one, I'll see if I can dig it up.

There you go. Looks pretty decent and possible, but it's inofficial.
Edit; ninja'd on the Krogan female. Damnit.
Or it could just be that, by not having female aliens, they reduce the number of character models they have to draw, animate, voice, and find room in the game for by almost half.
There is probably a standing order to keep all Turian females away from Shepard. He has a habit of inspiring infatuation, and that could cause an interstellar incident.
I don't believe there was any mention of Turian females in the novels either, though there were definitely Turians in them.
Also, "No Turian Females" would make an awesome Rock Band band name.

This is unlightly, what with Garrus' whole "I had reach but she had flexability" story.crudus said:
Most lightly they just havn't got around to creating one yet. Or maybe the females look the same as the males. But then again you can say they same about Hanar, Silarians, Elcor, Drel, Vorcher and Biotic Gods. The only one we know for sure about are Asari, who have no real gender and Krogan, who look the same (we saw a couple of female Krogan on Tuchanka, there was no disernable difference)
Hopefully in Mass Effect 3 or beyond.
So it's some sort of propoganda campaign. Kinda' like in South Park with the "They tooook our jawbs!" instead it's "Shepard! He tooook our girrrrrrls!Virgil said:
Nope, Garrus mentions sparring with a female Turian... then having sex with her. (if you talk to him) Which means that apparently Turian females serve as soldiers too, so there's no explanation why wouldn't you see some around.crudus said:
True, however I am under the impression that Bioware would put breasts on a piece of toast if they could get away with it.Daystar Clarion said:
But you are right. We could very well have been talking to females of any of these species and not known it. What bothers me more than all of this though is that so many of the species seem to be humanoid in structure. I can understand using humanoids in things like Star Trek, where budgetary limitations keep them from creating insect creatures with many legs, or giant fish creatures who float around in suspended tanks of water. But this is a video game, they could do whatever they wanted. Yes, I know there are the Hanar, Elcor, the keepers and the Rachni. But 95% of the people you see standing around are bipedal.
And no children, anywhere, ever. I think even if they were to toss some of these things in peripherally, it would add so much to the game. These creatures wouldn't have to be capable of interaction, but they would show a greater diversity of life and add a great deal to the atmosphere, depth and realism in the ME universe. It's a small gripe, I love the game. But, I think it would make it so much more interesting to look at.
BTW: The Rachni Queen is female.
I would love to see some sort of ME baby day-care center. A little quarian rolling around in his/her sterile bubble, little baby krogan beating all the other kids up, a tiny hanar spouting 'Enkindle this' in a high pitched voice. That would be epic.meganmeave said:
Heh heh! Yes, that would indeed be epic. I remember someone talking about krogan hatchlings somewhere, and thinking, now that would be something to see! I think the little krogans would be likely to tip the tiny elcor like little cows. They'd probably have to be separated from the rest, the little rascals.Daystar Clarion said:
The Krogans have an excuse (sort of). Their females sequester themselves for safety. Salarians as well, if it's true that they're 90% male.
The way I see it, it's just really hard to take a character designed to look hardened and dangerous like Turians or Krogans, and soften the features while still making them look like a natural part of their race.
How can Shepherd meet a female Turian at this point in the game and making sure the player knows what he's looking at? It's not as simple as drawing a couple obvious bumps on the front of the character, the turians have very strange proportions compared to Humans, so designing females would force writers to flesh out their reproductive systems more thoroughly.
Sounds like it would take a lot of work to make even more work for themselves later.

I can't answer about the Volus or Turians, but it's quite possible that the Hanar are an asexual race and therefore have no gender at all.Sky Captanio said:
