How can we say who are the more alien-looking? We've never seen any yet. And all of those "aliens" are inspired by what we know, turians are from birds-crabs, hanars from jellyfish,... The trick is too make the most original mixed-animal that doesn't look like anything we've know before but still enough to not think it's just an intelligent form that looks like a lasagna, because it wouldn't make any sense. That's why most of them are humanoïds, because this is the only form of animal we know that has gone far in term of "evolution". Moreover thumbs are important for evolution. So we definitely can't say who are the most "aliens".
The hangar look more like jellyfish and the ranch I look like insects and the leviathans look like cuttlefish to humans so they are “among the most alien looking races”
If you intend to do more videos, I suggest investing into better audio quality. Some parts were quite hard co comprehend. Other than that, 10/10 would watch again!
+MassEffectFollower I think it's just your voice? I mean you sound a bit dull-ish, that's all. I have the same problem my self like many other men. It's just that people with voices that naturally sound more excited (Tucker for example) are easier to listen to. If I had to describe it.. Well your voice sounds like you don't care about what you read and just want to get it over with. And you obviously aren't like that. It's just the voice and you can't help it. Don't worry about it too much, I can live with it and so can everyone else. Keep up the good work.
+Tommi theKrogan Thank you for letting me know. Trust me when I say that I don't mean to come across this way, I love Mass Effect and I loved making this video. I will try to sound more exited and will do my best to amplify the sound of my voice. Thank you for understanding :)
+Mass Effect Lore I think Tommi theKrogan is saying that in the video you sound like you are focusing too much on reading your text instead of telling the story. A tip from my end would be to try and tell the story instead of reading it of a paper. Try and memorize the text and make your video more like a presentation. I really liked the video and I'm looking forward to your other videos!!! Keep doing the good work!
The Turians were always interesting to me but once again why the game designers and writers took so long to introduce females like Nihreen. And half-assed it by putting her and Garus' “date" in the Omega and Citadel dlcs instead of the main story. I was similarly confused with why everyone could breath on that seemingly lifeless moon orbiting Palavin and while a great staging ground, still made me wonder if there was a city on it somewhere like Mars with Vakarian level “calibrated" anti-air turrets aimed at outer space but more symbolic than functional like a rusty old cannon on an seaside fortress from the colonial eras. And everybody loves Garus. But what if we actually met his Dad or got a Quantum Entangled message from him and Garus' equally unnamed sister still fighting Reapers on Palavin, like Anderson was on Earth?
caav56 Yeah I saw it too. I didn't get to that part yet. To be frank I'm about a side mission or two away from finishing the game and I'm a little apprehensive
All I have to say is your MASS EFFECT lore videos along with a few other channels have made me a fan of MASS EFFECT and has made me want go back and actually play the TRILOGY. I had to sell my consoles last Gen in 2007 and then I purchased another X360 in like 2010 only to have to sell that one again in 2011. So I missed alot of great games which has made me love all the REMASTERS this gen.Your videos along with the other lore videos I've seen has made me a actual MASS EFFECT FAN and I haven't even played the games .Also the next MASS EFFECT TRILOGY ANDROMEDA looks great and I will definitely be playing that and to be honest up until a month ago ANDROMEDA looked boring to me .So thanks for all the lore and back stories about MASS EFFECT you have convinced me to become a fan of the series.
The first contact war wasn't a long or bloody war, I think the body count was just over 600 casualties and most of them were from ships firing at each other rather than groundside fighting.
it was basically a month. under a k dead on each side. It is why the Turians see it as a police action and other races would say it may be a big deal to humans but I have had constipation that lasted longer.
I only have one question: What's their average lifespan? I remember it was something about 200 yrs but I'm not sure. For the next (I mean after asari) It would be great Quarians/Geth or Hanar/Drell :3 those and turians are my favorite ones
Not bad. Got a question. In the first novel, First Contact War started when human explores open and went through a relay that lead to turian space yet in the games it's establish the turians stumbled into the humans opening a relay, is one or the other fact or is it a cause of both are right just the interpretation is off?
The difference in diets for Turians and Quarians is that Turians eat allot of meats while Quarians cannot because they do not have the space required to raise animals for meat and eat mainly a vegan diet but when on a planet or places where food like that are accessible they can be known to binge eat on meats. A turian that does not have facepaint is called a bare face and is not to be trusted much to a way that Pureblood is a insult to pure Asari. The metal in Turians skin is called Thulium and Garrus mentions this in some of the chatter in the Citadel DLC party while they are dancing and start naming off atomic weights of elements when Tali gets to 69 in which Jack laughs at her saying in your dreams doglegs and then Garrus says its Thulium and then the group calls him a nerd which is pretty dam funny.
the turians are like space rome and the volus are like space venice, it makes sense that the turians protect the volus. The Krogan show the danger humans have on themselves, the quarian show the danger that human advancement has on humans, The Asari are just sorta there to be Hawt and the salarians exist because mordin is the best.
I am the very model of a scientist salarian, I've studied species turian, asari, and batarian. I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology). My xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian, I am the very model of a scientist salarian. mordin solus, hero of tuchanka
They're very autocratic and martial for sure. It does sorta make me wonder about the context around say, the Krogan. Will need to probe further but am running witg the theory that the council were primarily serving their own interests at the time
here is a piece of constructive critisism: It would be nice if you could get you're fotage from the pc version of the game instead of the Xbox 360. The 360 version dips far below 30 fps most of the time in all 3 games, and this has a very negative impact on the quality of the video. otherwise these videos are great and very well made; keep it up!
I kind of think the Turians would retroactively call the incident something more serious. Since the inclusion of humans was a real shake up. Suddenly a brand new race coming out of nowhere and immediately being one of the major factors in galactic politics.
You asked how you did, well. 1. Birds are dinosaurs. 2. Lieutenants are not Generals. =P Love the lore vids. only real complaint is how short they are for lore videos.
Great video, a little dry as if you werent all that interested in the topic. Academic writing is supposed to be dry but you are still welcome to be enthusiastic about the subject matter. And I do like the matter of fact presentation just dont be afraid to let your own feelings come acrossed as well.
+Zach Johnson No worries, we can organise that. The series I'm going to be covering first is all to do with the races of Mass Effect. So they will all be put in a playlist for easy access.
Hey you forgot that turian girl at the bar during the citadel dlc when you meet up with garrus! She's pretty important to the story because she almost ruined my relationship with garrus on my femshep run
They didn't lose, the Citadel forced them to stand down. If the war had continued we would have lost hard. They've got more planets, ships, and people. We got a few small wins in because they underestimated us, but that wasn't gonna last.
can confirm a turian did steal my heart
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
He would have stolen your heart, but he was in the middle of some calibrations
I they didn't just steal my heart, they melted it as well . . .
They stole your heart? They just calibrated mine.
fucking skull face lover
My fav race is Turian well bang okay?
Ps u did well u should make more lore vids
The most alien looking? I'm pretty sure the Hanar are more alien looking.
Never seen a jellyfish before? 'Cause I have. Turian are indeed the most alien like.
+Tommi theKrogan They walk on two legs and have two arms and a face, their body is very humanoid.
How can we say who are the more alien-looking? We've never seen any yet. And all of those "aliens" are inspired by what we know, turians are from birds-crabs, hanars from jellyfish,... The trick is too make the most original mixed-animal that doesn't look like anything we've know before but still enough to not think it's just an intelligent form that looks like a lasagna, because it wouldn't make any sense.
That's why most of them are humanoïds, because this is the only form of animal we know that has gone far in term of "evolution". Moreover thumbs are important for evolution.
So we definitely can't say who are the most "aliens".
Turians are from Hawks...Or Pidgeotto
Alien just means different/unknown, it's not a specific aesthetic.
Turians are the most alien species from a human point of view? Did you forget the Hanar? Elcor? Volus? Krogan? Leviathans? Rachni?
G Wilson Levo Amino freaks.
The hangar look more like jellyfish and the ranch I look like insects and the leviathans look like cuttlefish to humans so they are “among the most alien looking races”
Don’t forget the Yahg.
Yahg
He said _among_ the most alien looking.
That was great, thanks for making stuff like this. The story and lore of the Mass Effect universe is what makes it my favorite sci-fi of all time.
If you intend to do more videos, I suggest investing into better audio quality. Some parts were quite hard co comprehend.
Other than that, 10/10 would watch again!
we plan on doing videos for each unique race in mass effect
+MassEffectFollower I think it's just your voice? I mean you sound a bit dull-ish, that's all. I have the same problem my self like many other men.

We do see Garrus' dad, Castis Vakarian, in Mass Effect: Andromeda! Old recording from Milky Way, of course, but still...
caav56 Yeah I saw it too. I didn't get to that part yet. To be frank I'm about a side mission or two away from finishing the game and I'm a little apprehensive
Garrus' sis was named, in the Shadow Broker DLC when you check the dossiers, Solana Vakarian
What Tf did you just say? I didn't understand a word
I love the Turians
turians are definitely my favorite, especially in the multi-player, the turian havoc is boss
Let's start a war: Quarians
All I have to say is your MASS EFFECT lore videos along with a few other channels have made me a fan of MASS EFFECT and has made me want go back and actually play the TRILOGY. I had to sell my consoles last Gen in 2007 and then I purchased another X360 in like 2010 only to have to sell that one again in 2011.

I like the way this was presented. Just purely informative. Something chill to listen to in the background.
Ahh the Turians, my absolute favorite species in ME ^^
This is funny. I'm just discovering this video about my favorite ME species, that was released on my birthday. Do the gods smile on me or what?
An entire species with incredible military might being called "the war nerds" is such a mass effect thing.
i still love the the look of the turian cruisers the most
I only have one question: What's their average lifespan? I remember it was something about 200 yrs but I'm not sure. For the next (I mean after asari) It would be great Quarians/Geth or Hanar/Drell :3 those and turians are my favorite ones
Turians are my favorite race
Hey Mass Effect Lore, you are a positive impact on MassEffectFollower
He very much is and we are happy to have him be a part of the team.
You did the video well, Let's see the Korgan Lore
Don’t forget that Turians we’re the main species of C-Sec when it was formed because of our military experience.
Not bad. Got a question. In the first novel, First Contact War started when human explores open and went through a relay that lead to turian space yet in the games it's establish the turians stumbled into the humans opening a relay, is one or the other fact or is it a cause of both are right just the interpretation is off?
Wow, you know your stuff!
This video needs some audio calibrations, if you know what I mean.
Awesome video, I have to say considering the comments, the audio is perfectly fine for me, maybe it's because I'm British...who knows? :)
nice rack m9
Love the video thinking the cloud should get a video next.
These guys remind me of Sangheili, that's why i love them so much.

Please do quarians next
Turians look like elites.. which is why they are my favorite.
you did great son
Thank you
I'm proud of you.
Anderson?
IMPOSTER!
Aaron Solomon Who is Aaron?
Mass Effect Lore Pyrocynical.
3:50 but birds are small dinosaurs
Kandros is in andumeda too. Her cousin.
The turians are awesome!
somehow I feel like Turians are space Germans
OkThisllbeMyName Their inspired by the roman republic
the turians are like space rome and the volus are like space venice, it makes sense that the turians protect the volus. The Krogan show the danger humans have on themselves, the quarian show the danger that human advancement has on humans, The Asari are just sorta there to be Hawt and the salarians exist because mordin is the best.

mordin solus, hero of tuchanka
Hehey, I know that song ;)
They're very autocratic and martial for sure.
It does sorta make me wonder about the context around say, the Krogan.
Will need to probe further but am running witg the theory that the council were primarily serving their own interests at the time
my 3rd favorite race after 1ºDrell and 2ºKrogan
I know others have done it but I can't find any about the races: salarians videos if you have them. Will you make one please?
I like those "birds" ! XD they are best bottle killers
chilling and drinking beers with my best friend garrus
here is a piece of constructive critisism:
It would be nice if you could get you're fotage from the pc version of the game instead of the Xbox 360.
The 360 version dips far below 30 fps most of the time in all 3 games, and this has a very negative impact on the quality of the video.
otherwise these videos are great and very well made; keep it up!
My problem was the inconsistent sound volume.
+KR P thank you both for the comments, I will work to improve upon this in any upcoming videos
I agree, I got a minor headache by the end of the video
Mass Effect Lore Thanks for the consideration.
don't forget reach and flexibility
what did you say at 7:44?
what about the krogan or the vocha for the next race
KROGAN ROAR!
The Turian Unification War sounds an awfully lot like the Unification War from Firefly.
Krogans next please!
How about Salarians next
I kind of think the Turians would retroactively call the incident something more serious. Since the inclusion of humans was a real shake up. Suddenly a brand new race coming out of nowhere and immediately being one of the major factors in galactic politics.
It seems most squadmates are popular, except the human ones lol
Can you do the protheans
How long do Turians live?
In real life, the Volus would end up ruling over the Turians...
You asked how you did, well. 1. Birds are dinosaurs. 2. Lieutenants are not Generals. =P Love the lore vids. only real complaint is how short they are for lore videos.
Great video, a little dry as if you werent all that interested in the topic.
Academic writing is supposed to be dry but you are still welcome to be enthusiastic about the subject matter. And I do like the matter of fact presentation just dont be afraid to let your own feelings come acrossed as well.
You do these videos very good. 5/7. Like and subscribed. I appreciate your work. Thal shall recieve my gratitude in form of a pizza and coke.
I have never played Mass Effect, this video has told me more than I've ever known. However.....4:42 dayum.
They Remind me of Proud Loyal Eagles love them GARRUS!!!!!!!!
Drell and only constructive criticism I would like to give, make playlists. Like races videos this folder etc
I'm sure as soon as more videos are released we will instantly organise lore videos in categories
+Mass Effect Lore first off, thanks for responding. Second, I like to have the ability to find the type of video I want fast and simply.
+Zach Johnson No worries, we can organise that. The series I'm going to be covering first is all to do with the races of Mass Effect. So they will all be put in a playlist for easy access.
Asari next please!
I really enjoyed the video
garrus
Turians are my favourite species besides human.
How come people always show footage form the games that is all choppy?
Hey you forgot that turian girl at the bar during the citadel dlc when you meet up with garrus! She's pretty important to the story because she almost ruined my relationship with garrus on my femshep run
Are u kidding, he eye candied her for like a literal second and I gave him that look and I gave that bitch a look to back off and it was done
Yeah but it was close!
Pollollo 168 I wish a bitch would try to take my man XD
krogan or Leviathan
giant insects? i always figured reptilian
Music?
tury the turian
the audio is too low.
i can barely hear.
turians? more like space germans.
More roman then german, their entire culture and names are very latin inspired
It was fun while it lasted
So is a Turian human romance rare?
Asari
Krogon
Military Pro-ess? :/ are you reading someone elses article?
the turians are like america irl
garrus is the best🔥🔥🔥
love your voice
Next do humans!
theres a female turian in the citidel dlc in me3
Hanar
voice was a bit too soft
in mass effect 1 the geth seemed to be better than the turians
Like if you romanced Vetra
turian.......how well did they fair against humans.....oooooo,that's right...lost
They didn't lose, the Citadel forced them to stand down. If the war had continued we would have lost hard. They've got more planets, ships, and people. We got a few small wins in because they underestimated us, but that wasn't gonna last.
why am I watching all of these spoilerish lore videos when I havent finished ME1 yet ?
Does no one on youtube read properly? Or at least edit properly. The amount of mispronunciations is staggering...
Speak up.
So baisicly elves kinda
