Female Turians were criminally underutilized in Mass Effect.
>>750149774All the non-asari aliens always had weird ass excuse for why you never saw any women because they didn't want to make a second model type for any of them.
>>750149774They didn't exist until the Omega DLC for 3, so that + Citadel + Cabal Vanguard in the multiplayer + Andromeda is all we got from them.
>Make a shit sequel with a million things wrong.>Somehow make a really great Turian waifu.>Tall.It's absolutely fucking criminal.Even aside from my inherent need to fuck and marry one of these girls, it's weird and kinda immersion breaking not having female Turians in the games.They're a species that values merit and martial prowess.They don't sound like a group of people who wouldn't allow their females to enter the military or participate in their society.The comics don't support the idea either that their women were all stay at home mothers with ultra traditional earth values.I wonder if Bioware just didn't have any idea what Turian females would look like, so they didn't go through designing them. Eventually it was just too late or distracting to add them into the games so they said "fuck it".
>>750154136That's not a female Turian.
>>750154245I love Turians regardless.
>>750151664I romanced Vetra as a female Ryder and I'm still confused about the logistics of the sex
>>750154494Well Mordin at least laid out some suggestions when it comes to Turian/Human coitus.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLWzmeI1QWc
>>750154494Where there's a will there's a way.There's nothing humanity hasn't managed to have sex with thus far, organic or inanimate.The only real concern is that you'd likely get an anaphylactic shock from eating her out or giving her a deep sloppy kiss.
Hear me out...
>>750155424I mean no disrespect but there's really not that much good art that depicts Salarians.
>>750155424>>750156165Why would a female Salarian go out and do dangerous things? They're literally born to be leaders of their species.
It was always a little weird how only humans, quarians, and asari got to have female models/cahracters, especially when a key part of the series, the genophage, effects krogan women and they're constantly alluded to us just offsrceen aside from ONE who's clearly a male model they put in a big robe, so the asari were written as The Women of the galaxy.
>>750157737Asari already look like female salarians, just blue
>>750149774There were female turians?
turians are the most powerful race in the milky way
>>750158819
>>750156671IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR
>You will never have a huge spiky space waifuWhat a gay world we live in.I really would have liked to see Turians being fleshed out more, being as prominent of a species as they were.
>>750160521>Born to early to fare space and bag a Turian.Why even live?
>>750151664>I wonder if Bioware just didn't have any idea what Turian females would look like, so they didn't go through designing them.that's exactly what it was, that was confirmed in an interview. it wasn't until 3 when they figured how to do them
>>750163736Fucking hell, that's pretty grim. But I thought that might have been the case.Though while it explains why they weren't in the games before, it's amazing how they couldn't figure out the design.I'm an artfag and if I worked for a studio and they said: >Hey artist with nothing to do between games, we have no idea what a female version of this alien looks like>Can you sit down for like a month and just come up with something?I can guarantee that there would have been a solution for them and these people employ multiple artists far more skilled than me.At any point they could have just told them to mass produce female Turian concepts at scale.They probably didn't give a shit until someone realized that it was a bit of an oversight regarding immersion not having any females of the species for that long.
Now that Mass Effect is dead I can only hope people take the ideas and expand it in a spiritual successor (not like that Exodus game, what's the point of a ME successor with no aliens?)I want to see someone make notTurians you can romance
>>750165819>spiritual successor (not like that Exodus game, what's the point of a ME successor with no aliens?)That's the unfortunate thing. I don't know if it's simply the lack of creativity, leads simply not knowing what people want, etc. But for some reason these new sci-fi games want to stay "grounded" as possible. Providing little in terms of worldbuilding and exploring new species. It sucks, the only dev I could reasonably see being open to that is Larian. At least they seem to have the balls to include romance with lizard people in their fantasy games. So if they got their hands on Mass Effect. I could see them being more willing to approach it in explicit detail.
>>750166382>ME gets a remake by LarianI honestly wonder what that would be like, also imagine the schizo metldown
>>750151664Her sister is hotter and better
>>750151664the only thing andromeda did right were the male romancescora and vetra were peakeverything else was gay, mid and stupid
>>750170771The only thing Cora had going for her was her sex scene. That's it, don't get me wrong it's probably one of the best animated sequences in the game with the most amount of effort put into it. I guess that's what you get when you have a Naughty Dog animator working on it.
>>750154245That's just MF DOOM
>>750150193This is the case for most games that have different alien races.
>>750149774>>750163736I feel like they wouldn't have even bothered making the female turians look different from the males nowadays. In fact, I remember people whining about there being a gendered difference between turians in the comment section of the BTS video.
>>750149774So what they look just like male turians, they shouldve given them boobs
>>750165358>bird with boobsNo
>>750174003>shouldve given them boobsno
>>750174003>shouldve given them boobsYes
>>750175458They're not mammals.
>>750174729>no>>750175507>They're not mammals.
mass effect is interesting in how I hate every single alien except the squad member of that race
>>750175576Why are you posting a selfie?
God turians are the best, can't get enough of them!
>>750174132I still don't understand why they're referred to as avian. They have mandibles, chitinous body armor and generally look like bugs.There's nothing avian about them except for the head crest and even that's a stretch.
>>750177730Too bad we'll never get them again.
>>750178515Same, when I first saw someone referring to them as avians I had to do a double take, they look more like reptilians or something to me
>>750149774They have metal pussies.
>>750165358>>750174132I think it makes sense for female Turians to not have breasts but they really should have wider hips and more fat on their lower body. They have the same selection pressures as female humans being bipedal and viviparous so they need wider hips. And the females of a species typically carry more fat, I thought it was unrealistic that they'd look so lean.They should also have head crests like the male Turians, sort of like the Asari, as it was implied so in the bar scene you can overhear.
>>750179865Garrus describes female turians why are you furries conjecturing
>>750178515Yeah, the look like general grievous, not birds ffs
Has anyone made a Garrus Romance mod I don't want to play as femshep.
>>750184523Yes. They have. Though there are variants by different modders. So pick which you'd prefer. Personally I'm still waiting for the "Gayrrus" mod by the modder who made the Joker Romance mod. The difference between the mods below are that one is made with voice splicing existing dialogue. While the other is recorded by another "voice actor". -VA >https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/1629>https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/1632-Voice Spliced>https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/3424
>>750184758Greatly appreciated anon! I'll use this info for my next playthrough.
>>750150345Say what you want about Andromeda, but it allowed us to fuck the bird girl.
>>750151664>autistically staring off into the distance as the cute alien girl flirts with him he is literally me
>>750184895Glad to help. Though to put an addendum. The voice acted version for LE3 still doesn't have the audio included for some reason. While the audio spliced version hasn't been made at all for LE3 either. So bear that in mind. In case your curious about the "Gayrrus" mod it's basically being made through AI voice synths. The modder had done similar work for a Joker Romance mod by the name of the "Hatboy Project". She still seems to be under work with further updates for that mod. But once she's done with that Garrus will take priority. But heaven knows how long that will be. Here's some links if you want to stay updated.>https://www.youtube.com/@hatboyproject/videos>https://www.tumblr.com/hatboyproject/800974872881807360/hello-and-sorry-for-the-disturbance-i-just-wanted
>>750154136>turning the strong bond between two men who have fought and bled together for years into some gay fanfictionGod I fucking hate tumblr faggots.
>>750185157You're acting like it's official. This ain't KCD2.
>>750185096I got alot on my plate already so I'm willing to wait for Gayrrus, Thanks for links I was just about to look around for it. Hope you have a good day anon!
>>750185284Always a pleasure! And a good day to you too, anon!
>>750149774>no lips>chitinous exoskeleton >boney knobs everywhere i dont get it you people may as well be lusting over bionicles
>>750185360They're visually striking. Something far from human but still nothing too far from home. It's more than you could say for Asari. Who are just blue skinned women with only tendrils on their heads.
>>750185560me personally i draw the line at the martians from mars needs moms
>enter fem turian thread>some faggot is spamming the threadDisappointed
>>750186730Kept it alive though.
>>750155024Humans can eat and process dextro-amino just fine.Thing is, Turians CANT process levo-amino and those planets are rare.So the Turians got the council to label Humanity as levo only so you didn't steal all the, alreadt rare, dextro planets from us.
>>750149774Bioware's legacy is just a bunch of furfaggots lusting after turians
>>750151664>>750154494>>750170771>>750170992I dont know how you niggas can defend the romances in that game just like everything else in Andromeda they were undercooked.The "humanification" of aliens in ME began in ME2 and reached its peak in Andromeda.You could replace any of the alien partymembers in Andromeda with humans and you wouldnt be able to tell the difference. Peebus is just human female with daddy issues that acts like a human teen.Vetra is just human older sister type characterYou would expect with an interspecies romance to learn more about the Aliens or their Cultures or Customs or hell evne misunderstandings or misconceptions in romance but there is nothing there. Zero creativity. The Human Butchlooking Vanguard being the best romance through process of elimination because nothing about Vetra or Peebus is interesting is really telling.
>>750174132>he doesn’t like chicken breasts
>>750149774but they look like shit, eyeballtank
>>750187854I actually don't, they're too dry
>>750149774Made to be given to human as war reparations.
Why do aliens love humans so much?
>>750188336What's not to love?
>>750187738>Andromeda they were undercooked.They were. Which is why I said what I said about Cora.
>>750178969And penises.
>>750154494Just like irl lesbians then.
The type of human males she's really into.
>>750175507>Erm, why would you give the bird girl boobs, chud?Why would we let them stand upright? Why would they talk?
>>750187274She's cute, cute!
I had a furry girlfriend (real female), then one day she said to me she was trans and want to transition to male, And he started becoming obsessed with Turians; here is the evolution of his fursona.
>>750195967>his
>>750187738Of course they were undercooked, that game was slapped together in a hurry. Not that I would have expected anything great from that group of people even with more time due to how pozzed the studio fundamentally was, but still it the process for the devs was a bit of a shitshow.But you also got to keep in mind that we already know these alien races, it's not like this is a first meeting with them and they were never so radically different from us even in ME 1.Vetra didn't even grow up among her own kind for the most part. She's basically a street urchin without Turian culture, so we shouldn't expect those cultural oddities from her and her entire life was about being a protective big sister.In fact she might be a lot more down to earth than a lot of humans in the setting.In the main games Garrus put in the effort to learn about humans and basically did all of the heavy lifting, so what you got was a somewhat intimately awkward guy who just went with it and didn't make his culture an isse.I do agree that we should have gotten a lot more cultural nuance all over the series and it would have been fun to see, but these characters don't necessarily lend themselves well to it.I guess the best example of alien cultural differences would be Samara, but she's a bit of a weird one even among her own.What we'd need for a showcase of proper alien cultural differences, is a normal person who's not a standout.Like a regular Turian military member without any alien friends, who finds human ways weird as fuck, but slowly opens themselves up to be approachable over the duration of the game.That would be the way to do it.>>750188336Soft bodies. For a race that's covered in armor, encountering a species with soft digits and lips would be pure sex.It would be like a human fucking a Hanar, which is basically a living fleshlight.
