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. masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/PilgrimageIf 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.

I doubt anyone else has as much experience with ship maintenance and living in ships for extended periods of time as the Quarians do, so it'd probably make sense to have a few of them on engineering. But yeah, they'd have difficulty settling down anywhere and would probably be frowned upon for leaving the flotilla, so exiles perhaps?

Reyes is a human, by the way. I thought that was obvious considering his name and accent, but I believe it was also confirmed.
No reason not to have quarians present. They're not a hivemind; some would probably love to come along for various reasons. Getting to work on these fancy ships, getting away form a life they didn't want on the Flotilla, exiles with nowhere else to go, wanting to explore, or even the prospect of finding a new homeworld.

Not all Quarians stay with the Flotilla though. Some just never return from their pilgrimage and the Flotilla just releases their criminals onto planets as they pass by. I'm sure if they really wanted to they could find some to bring with them.

Some of us do what we want, so if Pilgrims look at the Andromeda Initiative ads in Alliance space &/or on the Citadel they might say "Ohh, how exciting, I want to join that", or "This 'Initiative' is paying a lot of credits for ship construction, &/or maintance experts I should pass this on to home for other Pilgrims, & Fleet Engineers".
So they'll sign up, & get sent on adventure, or get paid then go home, & send the money to my R&D ship, so I can buy Turian Chocolate with it.

I don't think we will see them in this game, but it could be implicit in the game that a group of Quarians came in the Nexus. So we could see them in the next games

Why would they do this? Hell if I know. Very Far fetched idea though. I disagree! Why? Firstly because the Admirals, especially the non-war-like ones like Shala'Ran vas Tonbay and Zaal'Koris vas Qwib-Qwib (who both oppose another war with the Geth, but know that they will be outvoted when the time comes (!)) will want to make sure that the Quarians survive, even if their fight for Rannoch fails (which it can in ME3 as we all know!) So I'd say those admirals will do everything they can to make sure that the Quarian people have a safety net and that Initiative started by the humans is a god-sent because the Quarians will probably be safer from Geth retaliation if they are no longer in the Milkyway (!), so they would IMHO send people there (especially scientists - maybe that's why this Reyes is not fighting with you? He might be like Mordin but without any combat experience! (if he is a Quarian, which would of course be cool IMHO) - and civilians with a limited security detachment (of Migrant Fleet Marines!)), hell those admirals might even go so far as to creat Quarian embryos to keep frozen and take on the journey (to keep genetic diversity up in the future in the new galaxy!) Hell, they know that this is probably the best chance to be allowed to settle a planet of their own (they aren't allowed to in the Milkyway and they are unwilling or unable to challenge that ruling by a council that's probably long dead (except for Tevos maybe, if she already was councilor back then!)) and to get support (humanity has no bias against the Quarians and we are the people who started the Initiative, so that's better than working with Turians or Asari!), maybe even help in looking at boosting (or fixing!) their immune system Also: The Turians could "pull this stunt off" as well (they had tiny pieces of Sovereign and recreated a smaller version of the Reapers main weapong (the Thannix-Cannon!)), so can the Asari, the Salarians and the Humans (at least as long as you give them a Reaper that's intact to study (might be problematic - indoctrination!...sorry for channeling Mordin, but it's true )) greetings LAX ps: Cutting the Quarians would IMHO be very stupid, they are a fan favourite after all (they surely are faves of mine...I like them more than the Turians for example, especially since they didn't open fire in a first contact scenario (and got away without paying reparations and being thrown out of the coucil! Hell, in a way they got away with turning humanity into a client race, just not of the Turians but of the council as a whole (Treaty of Farixen and all that!))

I wouldn't be surprised if a few quarians had come along on the Nexus... But I agree that it would make little sense for them to be part of the AI in any significant way.

But yeah, they'd have difficulty settling down anywhere and would probably be frowned upon for leaving the flotilla, so exiles perhaps? Seems the most likely scenario. I don't know how many exiles are out there but we do know it's not easy on them. Hell, even the pilgrims have a hard time, as evidenced by the quarians we encounter on Omega, Illium and the Citadel. I would think any exiles would jump at the chance to be part of the AI. Still, it doesn't mean they'll appear in the first game. If they do show up I imagine it would be in a second or third MEA game.

I thought we aren't seeing Quarians because only the Council species and Krogan (who are honored by the Council) chose to go. Quarians at that time were still seen as thieves and unwanted too.

Yeah, I think there is a less than 10% chance this game contains Quarians and that's really disappointing. I would have rather had Quarians than Krogan, even though I like both species.

If I remember correctly, Bioware said they have a way to bring every species to Andromeda. Most likely not in the vanilla game though (probably has to do with resources). It could happen in story DLC, but if I was a betting person, I would bet the first time we see quarians on this engine is with MP DLC (Which could lead into story DLC, or the other way around)

I wish they would just tell us if they are or aren't already. At this stage it looks unlikely since we are so close to release.
However, due to their popularity I suspect that they will be included in story and multiplayer DLC for Andromeda in the future. They don't need facial rigging, so they would be one of the easiest species to add via DLC.

I think that all species from the Milky Way Galaxy probably took the trip to Andromeda, but we will only see a few of then in this game.

It honestly makes more sense for the Quarians rather than the Krogan to be there. I actually agree, but... the Krogan are not only a fan favorite but a dev one as well, so I'm not surprised they're in the game. Personally I could come up with many more reasons for the quarians to be invited, and frankly I would have preferred them. Not including the quarians seems like a very strange decision on their part since they're also a fan favorite and make up the 'big five' of the trilogy species, and it wouldn't require many resources since they basically use two models that get recolored. Anyway, I've talked about this at length elsewhere, so I'll just say I hope a few made it into the game, or at least show up in a DLC. Though if they're not I wish they'd have confirmed it already. Because that would be really disappointing to find out in game, and meanwhile it's a bit cruel to let the quarian fans (and there's a lot of us, unlike the smaller followings of the more obscure/less represented trilogy races) continue to hope in the meantime. And as for Reyes being a human - yeah, probably. But it has not actually been confirmed. All we know about Reyes is what he sounds like and who he's voiced by. And maybe his writer. They've literally revealed nothing about his character. Quarian names and accents are pretty all over the place. Eastern European, Middle Eastern, even American/British. One with a Spanish name and accent isn't out of the question. Again, it's super unlikely, but I wouldn't rule it out 100% yet. Hell, the guy could be Angaran - supposedly they have cool voices and accents, and we have no idea what they'll go with since we've only heard one female speak (to our knowledge).

I don't understand why they are leaving it so late to tell us one way or the other. If we have to wait until we play the game and find that there aren't any it will be incredibly anti-climactic.

I'd think it's super funny for a Quarian to be named Reyes! It'd be so surprising.
But back on the actual thread. I was really hoping to see all the Milky Way races this time , but I understood t wasn't happening. That being said, I felt out of many of them, the Quarians made a lot of sense and would be likely.

I highly doubt seeing any good size groups of quarians in Andromeda, but I feel we might see the small occasional role appear. After all I'm sure the Andromeda Initiative has picked up their share of outcasts from other species besides the ones we know of.

Hmm. This somewhat confirms my suspicions that either:
1. Quarians haven't been revealed yet because their presence is a major spoiler to some of the games story.
2. They are planning on introducing them properly post-release in a story-based DLC or even a sequel.
Either way, I'm disappointed that we likely won't be seeing one as a squadmate, crew member or LI anytime soon. But It's nice to have more evidence that we may in the future.
