I don't understand how so many people can honestly favor the Quarians.
To support them is to support the genocide of a sapient species. That's my problem with them. The Quarians are a backwards society, which makes sense when you think about it. They've been stuck insdie their spaceships for years. They have little interactions with other civilizations. I say that the real world equivalent are people from small thrid-world countries; they have a government, but it's highly corrupt. Meeting the admiral board in Mass Effect 2 proved this to me. All of their leaders are apparently stupid, psychotic, ignorant, or arrogant. Even their most sensible leader, the one who supports peace, is a stuck-up worm. And his opinnion is in the minority.
The Quarians want to kill all of the Geth. They want to exterminate an entire species. I simply cannot accept that. The Geth are intelligent. They have thoughts, opinnions, and even emotions, even if they are primitve. They may be computers, but that doesn't mean they don;t deserve the same right to live that other sapitent species enjoy. The Quarians have no right to kill them. They lost the war. They were driven into exile due to their own stupidity, and they continue to dwell on the past rather than move towards the future. It's been over 300 years since they were exiled. Considering how big the galaxy is, I find it hard to believe that they can't find a single planet to live on. The reason they don't is because their leaders are incompotent fools that are determined to reclaim their homeowrld (which the Geth have equal rights to, since they were also born on it).
So in summary, the Geth are an intelligent species that has no intentions of harming the Quarians unless they provoke them. The Quarians are a fucked up species that wants to commit genocide. I think I'll side with the robots rather than the bucket heads.

I think they could easily manufacture some kind of peace. However if I had to choose, I'd go with the Quarians. I know the Geth are being treated like crap, and I know they're technically sentient, but when it comes right down to it, they're just robots.
The trial was a political thing, it had nothing to do with Tali. They were using her trial as a metaphor for whether or not they should go to war with the Geth to take back their home planet, or give up and try to find another place in the universe.DustyDrB said:
With all the requests for a peace option: The reason I didn't make one was because I was pretty sure it would just win no contest, since most people really do seem to respect both races; and I feel it is a much more interesting and difficult (and yes, annoying) choice to pick one or the other. But yeah, I really hope there is a peace option in the game.
The Quarians, obviously. The Geth aren't people, they are machines. If they're willing to leave the Quarian homeworld and not make trouble, then that's fine. If they aren't... it's time to wipe them out.
Good times.
Yes, and it was quite ironic and hilarious when I showed up at her trial with an active Geth at my side.DustyDrB said:

quarians = gypsies
they created a new species by accident and tried to wipe it out.
fact one the quarians would never win in a stand up fight.
fact two every attempt to subdue or trick the geth has ended in them pwning whoever tries it. except soverign and he does not cont since reapers can mind wack just about any species given time and have tech way way beyond anything the rest of the entire universe possesses.
so the quarians can most likely never take back their home world without making peace. the geth can live most anywhere if they were so inclined to. the quarians would be better off on their home world since their immune systems could reacclimate in about 70 to 100 years vs an entirely new planet that would take centuries.
so my shepherd is banking that with legions help and if the quarains are not stupid they can come to some arrangement with the geth. so my second play thru i reset the geth instead of blowing them up and hope they side with legion and not the reapers.
its a gamble either way, but its the only viable option open if the quarians hope to get their world back and not get wiped out instead.
if i had to choose outright tho, hard call. with the current quarian leadership they sure do not make a great case, one psychotic woman that wants to turn the geth into slaves, one that wants to exterminate his people going to all out war with them, and even their soldiers say they would be wiped out if they tried, and i forget what the other two stood for but was 2 for war one hippy and the last one i cannot recall either way. on the face if it seems the geth are more in the right since they really do not seem inclined to bother humans in general when not being lead by a reaper, tho that whole religious impulse is rather troubling, but legion and the 1000 or so on his side seem to not be duped by the reapers at all, hopefully the others you reset move to legions side and see all the destruction following a reaper got them.

Definitely the Geth. Legion was so awesome even just for the short amount of gametime he had. Since the Geth are actually sentient the Quarians are trying to commit slavery or genocide. And having the geth is also more tactically sound, remember the Heretic Geth only represented around 5% of total Geth population. And I know I'll probably get a lot of flak for this....but fuck Tali. I never liked her and the Quarians just pissed me off more so for my game I'm going to transfer to ME3 my goal is to make sure Tali is dead.
Save the Quarians burn the geth no question about it, also on a side note if I was given the option in ME3 id destroy the Quarians homeworld just for the hell of it
