So... am I the only one who fills this was super anti-climactic?
Before the game came out, a lot of theorised the Turian Ark would be a DLC add in + tying in with the book. I don't have the book and haven't heard any details about the plot so I have no idea how true this is.
it kind of feels like the turian Ark was meant to be a bigger deal, maybe originally was a DLC add in, then dropped and kind of added in last moment.
SAM and Macen dying and then convincing Avi to be the new pathfinder feels.. very unsatisfying. In comparison to the Asari ark, which had at least some level of intrigue going on.
Also, that's it for New Palaven? "Oh the planet blew up because of the scourge but hey, you can drive around on its remains". There's not even a decent reaction from the higher ups about the whole thing.

Quarian Ark DLC will fix it.

Agreed, the turian ark storyline felt rushed compared to the other two, like it was the last one to be added. The ark mission is really short and without any combat, and little reactions to the big issue of the planet being broken.
Even Avitus felt lacking, his relation to Mace is never really explored (lovers?) and his insecurity seems odd, being a former spectre.
It was very disappointing.

Yeah the Turian arc didnt have that many stuff in it but i actually found the relationship between Macen and Avitrus to be really beautiful and sad, especially when you realize how close they were after reading the logs. Poor guy gets himself drunk in angara if he doesnt become a pathfinder

I did not read those logs, I have to fix that in my 2nd playthrough.

I didn't mind Avitus' unwillingness to become pathfinder as much. Even without reading the logs, you can tell he and Macen were very close and Avitus is clearly suffering both grief and insecurity trying to fill the shoes of the man he loved. Still could've used a hell of a lot more content though. "Turian ark hit the scourage, everything went to shit" feels very lacking

Avitus has his work cut out for him. Not only did their ark have to jettison the cryo pods all over the place but it's also going to be harder for him to find a golden world for dextros and when the Quarian ark shows up that will only complicate matters.

Who takes Avitus place if you don't convince him to be Pathfinder.

Yeah, it was disappointing. You dock, open some doors, and have a convo with SAM. The destruction of the H-047C was also a bummer. It's like the writers aren't all that interested in delving into and giving attention to the turians and their culture.

This here was one of the biggest questions the game left me with. The Turians and Quarians all came here aiming for H-047c to be there Golden World since it was the only one suitable for dextro based lifeforms discovered in Helius. Now the dextro species could all potentially starve to death if a new world isn't found as soon as possible. I'd think this should be accelrated as top priority for all 4 Pathfinders.

I thought the mission was okay, but the thing with the planet blowing up, and the lack of reaction to it was a bit strange, I mean, you'd think every Turian you meet would be like "Pathfinder, WHERE ARE WE GOING TO LIVE???"
