Unlike the Krogan, I doubt we will see any Quarians

and there's this

No but it says we find Geth architecture. We know the Quarians created the Geth when they were in the Milky Way galaxy, if they'd created them back when they were still in Andromeda that wouldn't make sense. It would be cool though, just not likely

The fact that they've explicitly stated that Geth aren't in, but were being vague about looking for Quarians, makes it very likely that the Quarians will appear physically in the game, not just in subtext.

While I feel bad for fans of the the Geth who were misled, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the Quarians in a setting where the Geth aren't present.

They may as well have just made Destroy canon at this point. At least that way we would be able to have the other stuff I'll miss. The possibility of Geth being in these games is literally the only reason I was somewhat accepting of the location change. Now there is no point whatsoever. 

I was also very skeptical but tweets like "Maybe you're the last hope for quarians" strongly imply that they are at least physically present in the Andromeda galaxy in some form, if nothing else. It indicates that they play a larger role than text in the Codex or Nexus archives, at any rate, even if that presence is simply a sidequest or a few NPC's. 

Considering I wasn't expecting them to appear at all until DLC, it's welcome news. 

The fact that we had Tali for three games straight is why I want another Quarian squadmate. We only saw her species through her perspective for the most part- I would have liked to see the perspective of a Quarian exile or one who willingly left the fleet. I'm very interested in seeing what Quarians would travel to andromeda, where their species may not be numerous enough to have a future. 

I'm fine with not having one in this game, but I'd love to see one in the next. 

I know some people think Reyes is a Quarian, but considering their lore and culture, it seems highly unlikely.  It also doesn't seem likely for them to be part of the initiative at all.  Considering the high chance of the Andromeda Initiative being a one way trip, it does not fit the Quarian profile to permanently leave the Flotilla.  Even a Quarian on pilgrimage is setting out to prove themselves and help create genetic diversity for the Flotilla.  The ultimate goal when embarking on a pilgrimage is to come back home as a proven asset.

Tali has proven to be an exception, but a very rare case.  Why would one Quarian or a group of Quarians leave the galaxy to possibly never return.  Why would they risk leaving for so long anyways when they cannot adapt to any new planet (and need specific supplies to survive in their suits).  Maybe one rebelled and joined security on the Nexus since they do not have an Ark.  Regardless of the outcome, it will make for a good story on why they are there.

If you believe Quarians will be in ME:A, what is your theory?



My only theory most likely doesn't work because it would rely on the decisions on Mass Effect 3.  Regardless of the outcome, The Quarians used salvaged reaper technology to allow the Flotilla to travel at the same FTL speed as the Reapers.  I think they are the most capable species of pulling this stunt off.  Their society continued to flourish and run normally during the migration from the Milky Way to Andromeda.  They acquired information on the Initiative and set their course for the Helios Cluster.  Considering Reaper FTL speed is 30 Light years per day which is twice as fast as any alliance ship (including the Tempest), the Migrant fleet would be in the Helios cluster by the time the Arks arrive.  Why would they do this?  Hell if I know.

Very Far fetched idea though.
