What do you think is the reason Quarians won't be in ME:A?

All the Quarians jumped off cliffs after Shepard sided with the robots.

maybe they started out a few years later. just because they arent in the first episode, dont mean they cant show up later. seriously, there are so many different scenarios that may happen.

there could be stowaways, a second wave of ships showing up 10 years later, whatever. think about it, they could even find ancient milky Way races that escaped the Reapers by traveling to Andromeda 50,000 years ago. this is why I say Andromeda can easily be a completely fresh start. ANYTHING can happen.

I could see some Quarians showing up as part of the Nexus or something, but they'd be rare. Not in enough numbers to sustain a viable population. Well... not without significant genetic engineering.

Going to Andromeda doesn't make for a good pilgrimage because the whole purpose of pilgrimage is to eventually come back with something useful for the Flotilla. There is no coming back from Andromeda. Or rather, it's 600 years there and 600 more back so... everyone you knew would be dead and your gift would likely be obsolete.

Definitely don't think their will be an ark for Quarians.

Because... where the hell are they going to get the resources to build an Ark? Their entire society exists on salvaged or second-hand junk ships. All of their engineering expertise is spent just keeping the Flotilla together. It would take some major retconning and logical leaps to work that in.

Perhaps some Quarians already left when the Geth war broke out (when was that, though?) and traveling through a wormhole, they made it to the Heleus Cluster of the Andromeda Galaxy a couple of centuries before we did. So we catch up with them there.

I mean, it's no big deal, going from galaxy to galaxy, so why not?

The initiative have a firm "no pikeys" policy.

Remember that part in ME2 where you blew up the Mass Relay the Reapers were going to use to enter the Milky Way?  Because they sit there in deep space for some reason.

And after you blew it up, they arrived here anyway just a year or two later.

Point 1:  The Reapers didn't even need the Citadel/Mass Relays to enter the galaxy.  It was merely a convenience to them.

Remember that part in ME2 where you find Tali and her friends investigating Dark Energy, how the Reapers are using it but she didn't know what for?  And then the topic is dropped and never mentioned again for the rest of eternity?

Point 2:  The Reapers used Dark Energy to travel intergalactic distances quickly.

Point 3:  Tali may not have personally known what was going on, but Quarian authorities likely did.  It's not inconceivable that Quarians, being the tech experts that they are, were able to develop their own Dark Energy Drives in a Top Secret location.

I'm going to go with: They're saving them for post game DLC.

there is no wod, no confirmation of wether or not they will be in mea

yea they will be as I think it's almost 100% guaranteed one of the DLC's wlil be us rescuing them just like we did all the other arks in the main game.

When it is finally announced:
