Which one was the dick leech though?
I was slightly unhappy with this...
|THE ART OF MASS EFFECT|
Life-forms: Elcor, Hanar, and Volus
I love that second image design for the Elcor; bi-pedal is fine by me.

“Never before have so many come together from all quarters of the galaxy. But never before have we faced an enemy such as this.”
“Stand fast. Stand strong. Stand together.”
Despite my hatred for the ending of Mass Effect 3, I will admit that I thought the rest of the game was quite good. It lacked in certain areas, but it really wasn’t a bad game overall.
However, I wonder something… was I the only one who thought that the human attitude toward dealing with the Reapers was a little… selfish? I mean, every single populated planet in the galaxy is being either bombarded or invaded on a massive scale and humanity’s attitude is never anything more than “MERRRR, earth has it worse!!” Every human you talk to seems to think that the council is simply being anti-human rather than understanding that every race in the galaxy is currently dealing with the same problem. I’ll admit that some of the grudges between races were absolutely childish, and in those cases, I can understand certain races being frustrated with others… but the Turian and Asari not being able to commit ships and soldiers to take back earth right away… come on. Did you expect them to abandon their planets simply because earth had been invaded also? Palaven was smoldering just as badly as earth was, and Thessia looked like it was completely destroyed after the Kai Leng fight. My point is, I wonder if anyone ever stopped and thought to themselves, “Well, the Asari councilor actually has a point.”

Aliens of Mass Effect - Salarians
I love the Salarians. And actually, the Salarian Councilor is the only member of the Council who I actually like. Even though he doesn’t believe in the Reapers, he always hears you out and he always sounds sincere.

Where are all of the Turian and Salarian females?
I was thinking about this last night and I couldn’t figure out why BioWare hasn’t really touched on the issue at all.
- We know why we never see any Krogan females
- We hardly see any male Drell, so I assume any Drell sighting is rare
- The wiki mentions that it is unknown as to whether or not Hanar have separate sexes or if they are asexual
- And I’m unaware as to whether or not the Elcor, Batarians, Volus, or Vorcha have separate sexes or if they are similar to the Asari in that way
That being said, the only females (besides humans) we see in Mass Effect are the Asari (which is a given seeing as how there are no male Asari; the wiki mentions that the codex indicates that the Asari are “all-female” despite gender differences) and the Quarians (of which I often feel like we see more female than male).
We know for a fact that there are indeed both Turian and Salarian females, but we never see them. The Turian at the bachelor party mentions that there aren’t many Turian women on Ilium. The Salarians have no sex drive, but we know that females exist because of the reproduction contracts they agree to. So then how come we never seen Turian or Salarian females on the Citadel? Or on Ilium?
I find this quite strange. If I’m wrong about any of this, feel free to correct me!
