Rebellions, Genophages & In-game Depictions - Krogan Whitewashing 101

If they have a super secret plan that will solve it, then they should speak up.  Mordin pretty much admits his plan boils down he likes Eve and Wrex, so it will totally work this time.  So, I'm stopping Mordin from killing off the entire galaxy in a fit of guilt.  And Wrex, the dude is pretty much gleeful the Turians are dying in droves from the Reapers.  He is completely unwilling to accept the Krogans role in what brought about the genophage, he has learned nothing outside maybe the Salarians might come up with something worse so it might not be good to go to war with them, and he is supposed to be the best of the Krogan. Fuck him.

To quote one of the greatest video game characters, "Conscience...? You dare speak to me of conscience? Only when you have felt the full gravity of choice should you dare to question my judgment!"
Solus always had a conscience. Shepard has it too. Shepard repeatedly begs Solus to back down and expresses visible guilt later. It's Shepard's duty to try to secure both Krogan' and Salarian' aid. If Solus is somehow allowed to have a personal crisis that costs Salarian assets, then Shepard has every right to assassinate one dangerous person to secure double help. "You repay it by murder", oh please. Calling it some sort of retribution for Solus daring to have a conscience is cheap emotional manipulation. Shepard shots Solus (or Wiks) because a] it's requirement for Dalatrass deal and/or b] genophage cure is a galaxy-wide threat. That's it. There is no malice.
Again, I think there would be more understanding and less resentment if paragon Shepard would have been put in renegade place just for once. But no, Bioware went out of their way to coddle paragons.

Hey, wait a minute. At the time Mordin is making that choice the krogan aren't a threat and can't be one for decades or even centuries. No fleet, and no industrial base to build one. If the krogan do go bad, that can be handled by later generations.

It's only a problem if you assume that future Citadel leadership won't be politically able to handle resurgent krogan.

It's not the number of births that the biggest issue (but it is an issue). It's also the life span of the krogan. It's not an issue with the asari since they don't seem to have out of control reproduction. It still comes down to the salarians uplifting the krogan. It stands to reason that, over time, krogan reproduction might even out. We also know the krogan had a civilization prior to be uplifted. Given that they lived on only a single world, there must have been some way around 1000 births per mother. Maybe it would be worth investigating how that was possible.

I won't argue that, but the solution should be more along the lines of laying fewer eggs (maybe even just one) rather than have 99.9% of eggs not be viable. Still a race that lives for millennia but perhaps they'd be more in line with the asari.

Where did we hear that about the krogan?  I honestly don't remember what you say being covered in ME1.  Of course, that change would be in line with the changes in Cerberus.

Wrex just covers basic genophage data. That's it. They expand on it in ME2 and 3.I always cure it as a paragon.

Well Wrex does expect to receive several garden worlds as 'payment' for the Krogan participation in the war; he mentions it during the battle for Earth. Given the resources of those worlds coupled with the Krogan's insane birthrate there is no way that Council authorities will be able to stop them developing their own industry and military base again. Unless the Council is going to just park a fleet of warships over every single one of the those aforementioned planets there is no real way to stop them from developing interstellar capabilities again. And at that point what's really going to stop the Krogan from spreading out across the galaxy literally outbreeding every other species if they feel like it?

Yeah, the outcome of the Genophage doesn't seem like it would be immediately apparent to the Krogan war machine. I guess the shock of suddenly being unable to pop out thousands of babies per pregnancy might have stopped the Krogan leadership enough to finally allow for peace talks? The lore does say that the Salarians were planning on using the Genophage as a threat to get the Krogan to talk peace so maybe that's what happened once the Turians deployed it? Granted its a flimsy explanation, but then again this is the same setting that has humanity economically outpacing the Volus, militarily confounding the Turians, while also scientifically surpassing the Salarians because of…. genetic diversity.
