IF we get a Turian sidekick, how important that it be a girl on a scale of 1 through 5?

For me, the character's personality is more important. If she's like Nyreen, that would be a big plus. I guess it boils down to ... is the story good, are the characterizations good, is the environment good, do I want to play the game again? If the answers are yes to those questions ... then they've done a good job for me, of creating a good game. Bean counting the numbers of males and females doesn't matter so much.
Which species travel to Andromeda doesn't really matter that much to me, either. In another thread, the question was asked, what if no Turians? And I'd be fine with that too. Same with Quarians ... it'd be fun to have them in ME:A, but if not, that's OK too. I figure the new galaxy will have plenty of species to meet ... and does the male/female paradigm generally hold up ... or we have mono-genders like the Asari ... I'm fine with that ... or something else ... if the characters are interesting.
It would be interesting to see Andromeda species with other mating paradigms. The Salarians are a bit different, not a hormonal-driven species ... but what about species like the Racni ... where you have a queen, some drones and many sterile females? Or a species like the Black Widow or Praying Mantis ... where the male is killed after mating? So we might see a few races where most of them are female, whether fertile or not. And celibate males who choose to survive, rather than mate and die ... though evolution would probably prevent that. Or a mono-gender that is not in the Asari paradigm ... not mammalian, so no breasts, maybe live birth, maybe lays eggs ... maybe mitosis on a large scale.
Whatever. Run wild. It's a new galaxy, amaze us with the different species. This would be more interesting to me, rather than tallying up the numbers of male and female squadmates riding in the Tempest.

I assume their will be more than one Turian in the game as non squad members and at least a few will be female. So I don't think it matters if the potential Turian squadmate is male of female. I would also hope that the "sidekick" thing is not forced like with Garrus in the original trilogy. I love Garrus but I felt my Shepard connected more with the Krogans , Wrex and Grunt.

I don't know if it's "important" so much as "more interesting" We've had plenty of interaction with male Turians over the old trilogy, and only exposure to one (two under certain circumstances with Citadel DLC) Turian female. If Turians are going to be present at all, I'd like to see more females around.

Don't think it is at all important that if there's is a turian squadmate, that they be female. I think they may go the route of a female just to escape Garrus' shadow. I personally hope there isn't a turian love interest.

I hope we get one and she's a Sentinel because Turian sentinels are the best sentinels in the series by a mile.
Took me years to fully appreciate the beauty of their weapon damage passives combined with warp and warp ammo.

Won't the Console limited memorybudget make that nearly impossible? We will be limited to just a few seet pieces that will be reused over and over because the consoles can't handle enough data to offer more variety. Which will then be ported over to the PC? Especially with the higher resolutions and increased number of species if they keep the old and add new ones.

Nevermind just a squadmate, I want social justice! If turians are coming back, we need 3 whole games of nothing but female turians everywhere we see turians, with maybe like 1 male turian who is Multiplayer DLC in the very last installment. We had sausage fest, so now it's time for taco tuesday. You know, for equality's sake and all that. However, just to balance it and to assuage the potential talking points of salty MRAs mansplaining about never getting an all male race (there were, in fact, several), we can delete all the asari (probably via a horrible form of cancer that only happens when you criminalize hiding Prothean technology while hiding all your Prothean technology for 2000 years straight).

IF we get a Turian sidekick, how important that it be a girl on a scale of 1 through 5? For variety sake, "1", whatever scale end that ends up as. Personality's more important for me because honestly, i doubt i'll be paying attention to them unless they seem to be nearly dead or is a fem with a bodacious posterior (because i'm like that). Banter is key and if i can enjoy them because they're written well, it'll be awesome.

Turians are generally quite a big thing for the female fans of this game. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Turian is a male.

would be nice, wouldn't lose sleep if not, just so long as Turians are in the game, that's what matters.

I can't say I care more about a female Turian than I do about any other bi(maybe tri-)gendered species we might encounter in Andromeda. I want a better portayal of any species in Andromeda, which for me goes with more exposure of any gender and more diversity in roles. Turians specifically don't interest me. I never took Garrus as a squadmate, except for his loyalty missions. Maybe their portayal in Andromeda will make me actually take an interest, one never knows.

We're very familiar with male Turians.
A female Turian refreshes the oldest known aliens by showing a different side of their species.
The last thing we want is for the game to feel redundant due to the overload of MWG aliens. XX Turian spices things up.
