Mass Effect: Favorite & Least Favorite Alien Races?

Geth is least favorite for me. I'm just a huge bigot against AI/Synthetic beings. Someone here already called me Elder Maxson in another thread.

Was happy to rid the galaxy of the Geth and chose destruction for the ending. Sorry EDI...

Favorite - Turians and Asari (I love the militarist races and the blue space babes)
Less favorite - Geths (I just don't like synthetics) and Drells (just a big meh, probably BW fault in not making someone interesting).

Favorite races:

Turians: Cause theyre just cool
Krogan: Badass space turtles
Salarians: Crazy scientists

Not favorite:

Keepers: Cause they dont really do anything
Protheans: Socially darwinistic dicks. Dont get me wrong I like Javik as the troll of the party, but in retrospect his race were assholes, im kinda glad they were terminated by the reapers. Imagine living under their regime.

Potential wasted:

Batarians: Would have liked to see a squaddie, now theyre just a whipping boy race.
Collectors: Skeleton plot doesnt serve them, would have liked to see more often, maybe a mission in ME3.
Quarians: They were ok, until i found out they were just another race of space elves under their hoods.

favorite species - humans
honorable mention to turians and salarians

least favorite species - asari

Big fan of salarians, I could do without Krogans, Wrex being the only one I like (I know I should like bakara because they did all they could to make sure we liked her, but, meh... I don't absolutely dislike her, at best)

It's refreshing to see a fellow fan that isn't misanthropic towards humans lol

True, we don't get to see them as much as I would like, but as an "idea" I find them much more interesting than the human-like species.

My favorite are the Quarians - space-gypsy tech wizards with a tragic backstory their ancestors totally brought upon themselves, and now their descendants are paying for it. Lost their home world, their place in the council, and the galaxy's respect. Despite that they have this vibrant culture (one I wish we could have seen more of - it's only through codecs and such that we hear they're big on art, music, and dance) and interesting social dynamics. Also, their suits are cool-looking.

Honorable mentions: Salarian - smart, sneaky, pragmatic, what they lack in might they make up for in intelligence and strategy

Least favorite: hmm... I can't say I truly dislike any of them. ME did a great job, I think, of making them all varied and interesting. The hanar and vorcha were both annoying and kinda one-note, so I wouldn't feel put out if I never saw one of either again.

And now for some unpopular opinions:

While I love Wrex and Bakara, I don't really get the fascination with the Krogan. It wasn't until Priority: Tuchanka that we got a glimpse of anything resembling an actual culture among their species that wasn't just about violence and breeding. And it was from a long vanished past. If you cure the genophage there's hope they could re-gain some of that, and that's cool, but that hasn't even happened yet when we leave for Andromeda. So I don't really see what the Krogan are going to contribute to Andromeda's story for me, personally, to care about. Hopefully I'm proven wrong on this.

I have mixed feelings about the Turians. I absolutely love their character design, and Garrus is a favorite in the series (tied with Mordin and maybe Legion). But, again, there just doesn't seem to be much to them beyond the military thing and honor, duty, and so on. I felt like most of the Turian side characters we meet are, while likable enough, kinda unremarkable (versus the Kirrahes and Kal'Reegars and Aethytas). It's a shame we never got to see Palaven, as it maybe could've enriched our understanding of them. Again, I'm hoping there's more to them in Andromeda than uptight security dudes and mercs we kill.

Favourite: Hanar
For me, they look truly alien. They basically jelly fishes and I like how they speak. They seem fairly peaceful, yet they're more than willing to use Drell assassins to fight for them. That and I just fine it very hilarious when I saw a Hanar walk and push that reporter (forget her name).

Least: Vorcha. I don't know too much about them,but they seem fairly unintelligent and are only useful in fighting

I like the salarians, elcor and quarians not hugely fond of boring, baked in special humans.

Good call, silverhaku can delete it if they object.

Note: To give this thread 'Andromeda' relevance, humans are included because 'we are the aliens now' 
(and there's not going to be a heap of MEA news over the next couple of weeks...)

Favorites: Asari & Turians. My runners-up would be the Krogan & Salarians.

Least Favorite: Probably the Hanar. I think the species concept is interesting, but we've yet to run into a Hanar character in the games that wasn't used for comic relief.
