MEA would you like to play as another species?

No, and I don't see this working out well for Mass Effect, since any game would never really provide enough variation in dialogue to account for aliens, even with the inevitable restriction to asari and turian (they're both the safest bets and allow the most options with the least amount of PC dialogue tracks).

No. I don't need to play the game as a Human wearing the skin of another race which unfortunately is what happened with Dragon Age: Inquisition they wrote the game so generically that it really didn't matter what race you were playing didn't matter expect for the way you looked. So why take the time and energy to make sure that all the difference races work for the protagonist with all the animations in armor/weapons/dialogue/squad interactions/world interactions for something that really isn't difference except for maybe a handful of dialogue if they even decide to do that. To properly do it in my opinion it would require a lot more writing and animations that a lot of people would probably consider "a waste of resources" just like they do with multiplayer when they find something they dislike.

Frankly I hope they go back to a single human protagonist with Dragon Age as well because it was proven with Inquisition and even Andromeda that BioWare has been trying to do too much with their games and that causes all the content to suffer. Its like all these movie studios trying to make their own share universes and the have the first movie suffer to a degree because they are trying to force it by adding all kinds of extra content to make the shared universe work at the detriment of what they were trying to release. To me that is what ruined Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, Amazing Spider-Man and now The Mummy.

Man, half these "no" excuses are pretty lame and lack any substance to them. The "see things from human perspective" is also a weak one simply cause most games already do that, it's not really unique at all the ME nor even space sci-fi in general. Plus we've had three games to see the human perspective on alien culture and the like, do you really think anymore games would offer anything new unless bioware does a complete overhaul on their designs?

I'd like to have the option as I've only been wanting it since ME3 concluded. If they do it however they need to make it different, as I saw another user say: don't make it where they're a human but just in an alien skin, make them actual aliens to get the appeal going around. It'd be really awesome if bioware got away from humanoid designs and started putting more alien designs into their work cause ME as a whole has been pretty boring when it comes to their designs.

The roleplay is different. My elves have a different background than my dwarfes or Qunari. So I roleplay them differently. My Elves believe in the elven gods, so refuse all the "Andraste's messiah" stuff, are in opposition to Sera, and always help elves. The dwarves fear the mages, so side with templars. In DAI a non andrastian human have no sense to me. But theother races have different background, and I can roleplay accordingly.
Those that for you are few things, for me are the icing on the cake of my roleplay experience.

Perhaps but perhap sthey can do that with another IP at some point a lot of people are already complaining that MEA is just like DAI in space and tbh I can see their point the fact we're playing from a human perspective is what sets it apart from DA if we start converting the other species into the SP mix it gives those people more ammunition against it. ME and DA need to have things that set them apart from one another. Right now they do but allowing people to play as other species would kind of take one of those things that sets them apart away tbh. ME has always been about seeing things from a human standpoint I think and for me it should keep that.

For ME leave it alone. However a small section as this guy would be sweet.

I would love to play as a Krogan that was based on lore and not gameplay balance.

I.E. a singleplayer game detailing Wrex's younger years as a mercenary and hitman, barreling through armies of puny Citadel species.

Not really. I liked how the original trilogy was ultimately about humanity: it's first Specter and place in the Galactic Community. Therefor was a bit disappointing to me that our race didn't matter at all in MEA. It was another case of weak writing, in my opinion. Initiative left after humanity had taken over the Council or saved everyone, but there was of course no reactivity to that since our choices in the original trilogy no longer mattered. Just another case of rich ME lore being mishandled in MEA.

So basically MEA could have worked just as well if you had the choice between human/asari/salarian, etc, since race had no importance. Only race I would like to play as beside human is asari since they are my favorites. It's also the only race that would work well since you wouldn't have to get other VA's and at least in previous games asari didn't all look alike unlike the other alien races.

I really like playable races in the DA franchise even with the occasional hiccup (the elf not knowing about her own religion, for example), but don't feel they would work with ME. As others have pointed out, just the technical aspects of dealing with different voices and body shapes/sizes would take too many resources that should be spent on other things. I like to play other races in MP (where there are no romance cutscenes to animate), though.
