My Fifth Mass Effect Lore entry, this one focuses on The Quarians, a nomadic species of aliens known for their skills with technology and synthetic intelligence.
I would love for Mass Effect to have spin off games where you play as each species. Imagine playing as a quarian in events leading up to and during the geth rebellion? So many stories that can be told.
This wat I wanted andromeda to be. Play as any alien pathfinder n the story changes based on the one you pick. Imagine cruising the galaxy kicking ass as a krogan pathfinder.
I find it fascinating how the quarians mirror the experience that the natives population went through after encountering European diseases. Their immune system had no chance against the old world diseases.
1 child is negative growth, 2 children is neutral growth. You have two parents together having one child would mean negative growth, 2 children replaces the two adults taken.
No, those 2 children would have to make those children with 2 others. 2 children now grown up, in total 4 grownups having 4 children, no population change
Technically you would need a number slightly higher than 2 on average to compensate for early deaths or people not having children for other reasons. Usually a number more aline with 2.2 means neutral population growth
There is a lot of dodging the law. Quarians getting multiple children. Either illegally or by accident. You also have the ones who were banished. Their children are allowed back. Though I would think the quarians would be able to create sterile rooms where they can remove their suits. Artificial insemination is also a very real possibility. It is even already done with humans. I do wonder which they use. Artificial insemination would be cheaper but sterile breeding rooms would be more fun. Maybe it's both and sterile breeding rooms are something only for the elite.
They can breathe oxygen, the Volus can’t. Not only that, the Volus aren’t used to the atmospheric pressure standard of most species, meaning that if they leave those suits, they will literally explode.
@@UNSCPILOT The Volus actually are from a high pressure environment. Essentially, they need the suit to provide pressure or they would essentially explode. It's similar when fish are brought up from the deepest parts of the Ocean.
There are still things I would like to know about them. How does breeding work? Do they have sterile breeding rooms or do they use artificial insemination? Sterile breeding rooms would allow the quarians to take their suits off for a short time which would mean a lot to them. But keeping a large room with 2 individuals sterile is really difficult and expensive. Artificial insemination is much safer and cheaper. Maybe they have both but breeding rooms are extremely expensive and something only rich quarians like captains, counselors or admirals can afford. Also what happens when a ship is declared a total loss? Given how important they are I would think each lost ship is given a heartfelt funeral and is mourned deeply by every quarian who bore it's name. The quarians don't have many resources so they will have to make touch decision if a ship is heavily damaged and fixing it is more trouble than it's worth. How would that go? Do they blow it up so that it won't become die a painful death? Do they sent it off to drift in space? Or maybe they take it to a uninhabited world and have it crash on the surface?
I the the reason why they need to choose a different ship to serve on as adults is to prevent them getting too attached to their birth ship. If the crew of a ship got too strongly attached to their ship there is a very real danger they develop more loyalty to it than to the flotilla. Which in turn could mean they will hijack the ship and leave the flotilla. Even if it doesn't get that drastic an overly strong attachment of the crew to their particular ship could lead to xenophobia and tensions with other quarians. So by forbidding them to serve on their birth ship they make sure the quarians never see their ship as sacred. It might be valuable but it's not irreplaceable. One ritual I'm kind of expecting the quarians to have is a ship funeral. Giving how important the ships are for them and their identity the loss of one would be mourned greatly. That when a ship is declared a total loss it will be destroyed in a big elaborate ceremony. Maybe that's another thing they could include later. That you have to attend a ship funeral. Maybe finding out what went wrong with it and then attend it. Giving emotional support to your partner as the ship they owe their name to blows up and they need to search for a new name.
One of my favorite races!! I love the originality of the Quarians (I don't recall any other race, in another SCI FI saga that shares similarities with them), and there is some romatic vibe around them "After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began." And they can be total badasses as well, Kal'Reegar is a total boss Very cool vids, I'm currently replaying Mass effect 2, I may complete the saga before Andromeda Thanks for the upload! Keelah se'lai
I felt bad for the Quarian Sympathizers they were terminated by their own people but the geth remember that they defended and fought for them despite the fact that they were outnumbered
Quarians are probably the most intriguing race in ME for me, Although I don't really see the appeal of Tali as a romance option that so many people seem to like...
Better masks make survival better and help slow the spread would you want a wild west killing of elderly and sick for that satisfaction of the healthy surviving oh it's not gonna kill me so I don't care if it kills you isn't a good mindset
Awesome. There was a lot of exposition in this video so my bad if I missed it, but did you talk about quarian combat abilities/specializations? Even though you did talk about their natural proficiency with technology of course.
I played way too much of these games I've realized when I was finishing the facts in my head. Tali was my crush as a kid. I already knew about the viruses. XD
I’ve got an impression that there were three species the Protheans were interested in 1. Asari, 2. Quarians followed by 3. Humans. It could have been that the Quarians had what we would consider civilisation around -50,000 CE but had multiple collapses and crises up to the invention of the Geth, which would explain why Quarians seem a bit jealous of Humans in ME and ME Andromeda Annihilation
companymen42 As far as I know, they had no need before being forced to leave Rannoch. After that, however, it may just be that they are advanced in other fields, but not that one, or that they are not THAT advanced. Nanotech is hard.
"Over time the environmental suits themselves have gained symbolic and cultural significance. And being fitted with their 'Fur-suit' as a right of passage". I'm sorry, I know you have an accent but hearing the term 'fur-suit' had me rolling 🤣 Quarians are walking around the deck dressed as wolves and foxes and shit like that. Maybe there's even a furry for varren 😅
@@darioestebaneliztrado4641 lol sure. Genocidal quarian vermin, i have them all dead in 3rd game. Brainwashed fanatics. They forget they live only because geth had more compassion then them and allowed them to flee, instead killing all. They should be grateful, instead they plot and warmongering
James.T .Adams a slow painful death is not fun. I would assume if a Quarian had an unfixable suit breach like a (shattered visor) they would probably prefer to kill themselves rather then die slowly and painfully
I love Quarians. And the Vodyani. Just generally nomadic aliens... And nomadic fantasy cultures in general... And the Mongols... I just really have a thing for nomads, don't I?
I can imagine learning how to talk would have been a problem for their young with those environment suits covering their face. Much like how the young who had difficulty learning to talk with covid masks over everyone’s face. If you can’t see how someone is moving there mouth it’s a problem when learning language
Ugh. I know Karma was a bitch to the Quarians, but 300 years of space isolation? Damn. Why don't they at least colonize a planet or two, so that they can have easy access to resources at the very least? I'm rather new to the mass effect lore so if my question is easily answered or common knowledge, I'm sorry for my ignorance. More of a 40k Fanboy myself.
Mostly because of their unique biology, they need specific conditions for them to live, even mildly comfortably. Also, the Citadel Council has not officially gave them sanction to colonize any planet due to them having no official recognition inside the counsel due to their removal of their embassy. Even still, the Quarians have tried in the past to colonize planets, but usually end up being run off them by more expansion minded and far more numerous species like the Vorcha or the Krogan. IIRK, there was 1 case where they petitioned the Counsel for colonization rights as it was a planet that was easily defensible and perfect for their biology. But the Counsel took a very long time to come to any kind of decision and some Quarians grew angry and impatient with the bureaucracy, so they colonized it anyway. This just lead to the Counsel rejecting their petition and gave the planet away to another race. This further damaged relations and the Quarians own in-house factions decided that conquering back their original homeworld was the only option left for them.
Yeah that’s kind of a major plot hole like there has to be at least one planet the species can colonize. Heck just set the ships in orbit live primarily on them but trade with a plant for reap surges and have the flotilla produce things for said planet. England hasn’t produced enough food for itself since the 1700’s so the flotilla doing so make no sense
@@raaaaaaaaaam496 If you do her side mission in ME 2 she says something about it being too difficult to adjust to a new atmosphere and in the long run it would just be easier to defeat the geth. But also they'd have to find the perfect planet similar to their homework.
@@raaaaaaaaaam496 Not if those planets are not exactly similar to the Quarian homework. Thing of Quarians like Pandas. They need very specific circumstances to survive. If the conditions are not met exactly they die.
Not really the geths say they want peace but they have been very bad because their actions do not reflect that, in addition the council would have exterminated both of them and the geths, I do not deny them their right to self-defense but they committed genocide they even killed those who defended them even civilians and children MASS EFFECT Ascension Three hundred years ago, long before Humanity burst onto the galactic landscape, the Quarian species created a race of servants to be used as expandable and expendable labor. The geths, as they were called, were not authentic AIs: their neural networks were developed in a very restrictive and self-limited way. Despite this precaution, over time, they lashed out at their quarian masters and confirmed the dire warnings and predictions. Quarians had neither the strength nor the ability to resist their former servants. In a short but savage war, their entire society was exterminated. Barely a million survivors - less than 1% of its total population - were able to flee their home world in a massive fleet and escape genocide, forced to live in exile as refugees. After the war, the Geths became a completely isolationist society. They cut off all contact with the organic species in the galaxy and expanded their territory into unexplored regions after a vast nebula known as the Veil of Perseus. Any attempt to open diplomatic channels with them failed: the emissary ships sent to start negotiations were attacked and destroyed as soon as they entered Geth space
Quarians are another Mass Effect race I don’t have a high opinion of. I either side with the Geth or save both. I cannot in good conscience choose the Quarians. They don’t learn from their mistakes and have accountability issues. Wanting to return the Geth to the subservient role is a bad idea. Slavery much? Their retort to being held responsible for developing AI illegally is to say “But look at what we lost….” Getting a Quarians to say what they did was wrong was like trying to get a flat earther to develop a single model that explains the seasons, the stars; gravity etc. I digress. Tali is amazing. I dig her. I always skip the interrupt though.
I love Tali, but I find myself getting annoyed with the Quarians and their treatment of the Geth too. I often always choose to make peace between them, but if I had to choose I would side with Legion and the Geth
Wouldn't it make more sense to legally enforce a two child policy for zero population growth? If every couple only had one kid you'd be halving output each generation.
Matthew Wingad they have a one child policy so pop. doesnt get too high but when it drops too low they temporarily repeal it so it can get back up and when its high enough they enforce it again
Something I don't understand is why did the council not try and talk to the Geth, to give back Rannoch and they could find a new home since they are AI. IMO and the opinion of a good chunk of Quarians at least a generation or two back can see that this is the Quarians fault and from an outside perspective you can't blame the Geth. It's the same with our own slavery looking back are we really shocked that slaves rebelled? or at the very least called and campaigned for change? Not that places like the US and many other countries weren't killing slaves but if they did kill at the rate the Quarians were deactivating Geth I think that the African Americans would have turned a lot more violent than they did and that is why part of the BLM movement does seem/is tending to lean more on a more violent method than groups like it have focused on in the past ( that's not a bad thing tbh because it's not without cause). I remember on my first ME3 playthrough I had no hesitation in saving the Geth over the Quarians, I didn't Import the save due to me playing ME2 on PC and ME on 360 but I knew what Shepard has done for the Quarians (well everyone) and for Tali who in canon becomes a much more respected member of the Quarian people so them not listening after you've helped them time and time again just annoyed me to the point where I stopped listening to Tali and felt like saying "Blame your admirals who won't listen."
sorry, I liked your Krogan vid, but I just can't accept any lore given by someone that recognises that cheap stock photo of tali out of her suit, smiling in the sun, as Canon. It was the laziest, cheapest thing Bioware ever did. It was more insulting than the me3 ending. As far as I'm concerned, their appearance is still a mystery and that pic was a prank by the citadel star child
Trojianmaru did i say i recognise it as canon? i thought it was a disappointing move too, but please don't take it your frustrations out on me and the hard work i put into this video, because of biowares action, that's a bit unfair
Tbh, I didn't realize that was what I was doing until you mentioned it. It was a knee jerk reaction to the photo. I actually like your videos, they're presented well, the fonts and layouts look good and they're informative. Plus your voice works well for teaching lore. You're right, I shouldn't of taken out my frustrations on you. I apologize. Please keep up the good work
@@MrNomad-vy8yl I do not understand that need to see any society in which they help each other as communists when it is obvious that it is something else, that only shows that we demonize anything by references from the past.
I would love for Mass Effect to have spin off games where you play as each species. Imagine playing as a quarian in events leading up to and during the geth rebellion? So many stories that can be told.
Krogan during the Rachni wars, STG/Asari during Krogan Rebellion, Turians during the 1st contact war. I would be down for that.
This wat I wanted andromeda to be. Play as any alien pathfinder n the story changes based on the one you pick. Imagine cruising the galaxy kicking ass as a krogan pathfinder.
Mass Effect’s spin-off potential is mind boggling, they need to get on that shit, even if it’s just comics/animations
Quarian biotic ❤❤❤
Id kill to be able to play as a turian
We need a game with the player being a quarian instead of a human
C02 oblivious I would love that!
N7Kate as would i friend as would i
zander bro Where a game mechanic is if you get shot you have to treat it before you get an infection.
Or just a Mass Effect game with the option of any alien besides Human. Think, Dragon Age Origins/Inquisition style character creator.
It would be cool if you could have the option of chosing your race
Quarians and Krogan are my two favorites because of Tali, Wrex, and Grunt. I love these guys soooooo much! Thank you for explaining their histories.

@@sharker7083 me too. I try to let my girlfriend forget, that this is a video game character. :D
I hope the dad didnt romance tali or its gonna be weird explaining to her later how he named her after a videogame character he banged lol
Lol I told my gf I wanted to do the same. She wasn’t having it. Tali’s always my girl in ME and my real life girl don’t like it lol
Poor child. Hopefully they won't force her to wear a jar on a head
Tali's my girl. favorite relationship has always been with her.
This race not being in ME:Andromeda is the biggest sin that game committed.
That intro music made me far more emotional than it should have
I hear ya. The Starmap music always makes me smile.

You described their physical look but strangely left out their weird below knee legs and feet.
Long live the Qwib Qwib
This past year makes the Quarians very relatable.
I read this a while ago, they are such an interesting species to me.
The music at the start makes me happy
I really like the format of ur informative videos
I miss Tali.
A very relevant video series with the LE around the corner.
Love your vids! :)
Such great quality at 10:10-10:12 if you pause around there you can see tali's face underneath the mask
I hear the wiki.
I love the Quarians
Yes more lore thank you Kate
Jonas Nielsen no worries, sorry it's been a bit delayed
Btw will i got you, do you plan to do more Mass Effect Comedy Codex?
Jonas Nielsen yes, definitely there will be more comedy codex. Dante has recorded a salarian one just need to get footage and edit it :)
Nice look forward to it
I felt bad for the Quarian Sympathizers they were terminated by their own people but the geth remember that they defended and fought for them despite the fact that they were outnumbered
"the most distinguishing feature of quarian biology is.. "
Me: their legs!
Video: "...their immune system"
Me: feck off
I always thought of the Quarians as the equivilent of middle eastern nomadic people, their accent really remind of middle eastern one
Quarians are probably the most intriguing race in ME for me, Although I don't really see the appeal of Tali as a romance option that so many people seem to like...
it's mainly her quirkyness :)
She's a good character but I personally like Jack a lot more as a romantic interest than Tali

@David Jones wat
Not sure if you're still doing Lore Videos but would you consider doing one on Batarians sometime?
I'm still interested in doing them and Batarians are on the list
COVID-19 brought me here. This is our future
Only if we keep wearing those useless masks

Look up the Tali Full Face mod on the Mass effect 3 Nexus.

farg34 in other words, you'd need a PC to achieve that
In other words, that’s probably not how they actually look, it’s fan made

good vid
the backstory of the connection between geth and quarians should be a lesson to us all
its the matrix
If someone is sentient don't try to immediately kill them
Yeah, don't create life and then try to kill it when it asked question you don't like, because you feel oh so superior
@@gennarosavastano9424 They didn't do it for that, oh and let's not forget that geths are genocidal

they dont get sick, they experience an accute allergic reaction

James.T .Adams Tali describes it (In mass effect 2) as more of an accute allergic reaction so idk, im just repeating what a QUARIAN told me lmfao

So maybe if they didn't panic and tried to kill all of the Geth they would've stayed loyal? Idk
From my point of view, yes.
According to legion the Geth never wanted war. They always acted in self defense and their actions were that of survival.
if survival but they went through this to defend themselves if they did kill millions
Not really the geths say they want peace but they have been very bad because their actions do not reflect that, in addition the council would have exterminated both of them and the geths, I do not deny them their right to self-defense but they committed genocide they even killed those who defended them even civilians and children

Despite this precaution, over time, they lashed out at their quarian masters and confirmed the dire warnings and predictions.
Quarians had neither the strength nor the ability to resist their former servants. In a short but savage war, their entire society was exterminated. Barely a million survivors - less than 1% of its total population - were able to flee their home world in a massive fleet and escape genocide, forced to live in exile as refugees.
After the war, the Geths became a completely isolationist society. They cut off all contact with the organic species in the galaxy and expanded their territory into unexplored regions after a vast nebula known as the Veil of Perseus. Any attempt to open diplomatic channels with them failed: the emissary ships sent to start negotiations were attacked and destroyed as soon as they entered Geth space
Hello Eldari craftworld from WH40K
Hello Quarian microfleet from Mass Effect
How do they brush?
This implies they use their mouth to feed. You don't know that.
Quarians are another Mass Effect race I don’t have a high opinion of.
I either side with the Geth or save both. I cannot in good conscience choose the Quarians. They don’t learn from their mistakes and have accountability issues.
Wanting to return the Geth to the subservient role is a bad idea. Slavery much?
Their retort to being held responsible for developing AI illegally is to say “But look at what we lost….”
Getting a Quarians to say what they did was wrong was like trying to get a flat earther to develop a single model that explains the seasons, the stars; gravity etc.
I digress.
Tali is amazing. I dig her. I always skip the interrupt though.
I love Tali, but I find myself getting annoyed with the Quarians and their treatment of the Geth too. I often always choose to make peace between them, but if I had to choose I would side with Legion and the Geth
How do they take a dump?
They probably have tubes hooked up to their respective holes.
Who’s here because of legendary?
Even when I make my Shepard a hardcore racist I just cannot talk shit about Tali. She’s just too cute.
Are quatrains a military power at all.
If they were council would respect them. They just a fleet.
Tali best girl!!!♥♥
I wanted to enjoy this video, but taking the unholy selfie as cannon and using a mod to match it ruins it for me.
Wouldn't it make more sense to legally enforce a two child policy for zero population growth? If every couple only had one kid you'd be halving output each generation.
Matthew Wingad they have a one child policy so pop. doesnt get too high but when it drops too low they temporarily repeal it so it can get back up and when its high enough they enforce it again
Geth rule
Free Speech I mean, if they devoted all of their resources into doing so they could get pretty close.
How do they sleep?
This was literally just pulled from the wikia. Yay you can read
I chose the Geth!!!
Something I don't understand is why did the council not try and talk to the Geth, to give back Rannoch and they could find a new home since they are AI.
IMO and the opinion of a good chunk of Quarians at least a generation or two back can see that this is the Quarians fault and from an outside perspective you can't blame the Geth.
It's the same with our own slavery looking back are we really shocked that slaves rebelled? or at the very least called and campaigned for change?
Not that places like the US and many other countries weren't killing slaves but if they did kill at the rate the Quarians were deactivating Geth I think that the African Americans would have turned a lot more violent than they did and that is why part of the BLM movement does seem/is tending to lean more on a more violent method than groups like it have focused on in the past ( that's not a bad thing tbh because it's not without cause).
I remember on my first ME3 playthrough I had no hesitation in saving the Geth over the Quarians, I didn't Import the save due to me playing ME2 on PC and ME on 360 but I knew what Shepard has done for the Quarians (well everyone) and for Tali who in canon becomes a much more respected member of the Quarian people so them not listening after you've helped them time and time again just annoyed me to the point where I stopped listening to Tali and felt like saying "Blame your admirals who won't listen."
They got what they deserved if they didnt react the way did the geth wouldnt me a problem
Pffft nothin but scavengers and vagrants of course
Only for geths fanboys like you.
sorry, I liked your Krogan vid, but I just can't accept any lore given by someone that recognises that cheap stock photo of tali out of her suit, smiling in the sun, as Canon. It was the laziest, cheapest thing Bioware ever did. It was more insulting than the me3 ending.
As far as I'm concerned, their appearance is still a mystery and that pic was a prank by the citadel star child
Trojianmaru did i say i recognise it as canon? i thought it was a disappointing move too, but please don't take it your frustrations out on me and the hard work i put into this video, because of biowares action, that's a bit unfair
Tbh, I didn't realize that was what I was doing until you mentioned it. It was a knee jerk reaction to the photo. I actually like your videos, they're presented well, the fonts and layouts look good and they're informative. Plus your voice works well for teaching lore.
You're right, I shouldn't of taken out my frustrations on you. I apologize. Please keep up the good work
Quarian society is Communism done right, Lenin would love to compare notes with them, including Karl Marx
white slade This explains why they failed.
Murat Dogan 😁😁😁 true, I could even see similarities with them and communists, but Quarians don't have a Genocidal Dictator like Stalin
True communism is tribal because it works best on that scale.
Communism with a dictator, secret police etc. is a perversion.
The Quarians do it to keep their race alive and not to expand their ideology by any method necessary like the Tau of warhammer 40k
@@MrNomad-vy8yl I do not understand that need to see any society in which they help each other as communists when it is obvious that it is something else, that only shows that we demonize anything by references from the past.
The qaurians are dead for me like 😂😂
Dr Fauci kept extending the time they needed to wear the mask
