So, I'm playing through the game and I take a good look at the angara. Not only are all the asari clones of Lexi, but all the male angara are clones of Jaal. All the female angara are clones of the Moshae too. It's harder to tell because of scars, more distinct coloring, and various headwear, but they're all definitely the same mesh.
The asari and angara should get together, and rush the kett. They'll be so busy trying to tell them apart, they won't have time to fire!

To be fair, all turians and salarians were based on the same models as well since the first game. Mordin was the only unique one out of the group due to his scars and head tentacle missing. That is nothing new, really.

But Mordin (your squadmate) WAS unique. Jaal is everywhere you turn, with only that little scar to differentiate.

There is no reason for races with very human features to all like exactly alike. Did they think people wouldn't notice?

Actually, there were a few different faces for the Salarians during the original trilogy. masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Category:SalariansScroll down to see a lot of salarian ingame pics, you'll notice that there is a lot of variety. ME:A went with adding texture variety, rather than feature variety.

And the asari face wouldn't be so bad to see repeated over and over and over and over if it wasn't so downsy looking - like 60mg of predinose a day for a year bloated... They could have at least gone with more variance in skin tone and some face patterning to help hide it.

There is no reason for races with very human features to all like exactly alike. Did they think people wouldn't notice? Hard to say. Even SWTOR has different faces for almost all of it's alien races. Original Mass Effect trilogy had slightly different faces for at least some Turians and Salarians. And of course the Asari. Well, at least Pelessaria has unique face and doesn't have to share that with Lexi and all the others. Krogans probably have only one face too but they all look alike anyway. There's some really weird colored Turians, Krogans and Salarians too, I've seen some bright reds and blues that look out of place (Krogans with blue skin look like moldy piece of bread).

I think the new salarian skin tones work well, they are based on amphibians in their design, plus they had some unusual patterns in the original trilogy. I'm not a fan of the wilder turian or krogan colour schemes though. Also, why does Nyreen's cousin look so little like Nyreen? They don't have the same plate colour or colonial markings. It's a shame.

Krogan is Bioware's favorite race, it seems that they have the most diversity. different color and different shapes.

I fully agree on the Asari face. No variation at all, except for Peebee and maybe the Asari pathfinder (the one that replaced the original pathfinder).
Also agree that they could have done a bit better with the Angarans.
Not to mention the Kett!!! Absolutely no variation between the Chosen.

It kind of makes sense why they all look similar.

Honestly this would be such an easy fix if we had a moding community. But nope! Can't have that you're not allowed to modify our games! Frickin EA. Also as for the Kett I think they should be similar because it makes it easier to blanket them as evil and soulless. Just a personal preference for a villainous race.

You want some cold hard truths? Every Salarian is a palette swap of Kallo Jath. Every. Single. One. Every Turian guy is just Tiran Kandros. Usually pale but with different markings and the same armor. Every Asari is a differently colored Dr. Lexi. Almost every Angara man and woman are the same two models with a few exceptions that have changes like Jaal, The Moshae and Evfra Same for Krogan, with a few notable exceptions.

If it strains resources to give NPCs from every species a variety of unique faces, it would be better to prioritize humans and very human-like aliens like the Asari. Most people aren't going to notice if Turians and Salarians share identical facial bone structure. Varying skin tones and face markings for Salarians and Turians would be enough to past muster with most folks.

While they had differen skin tones from each other, and may have looked different, (not sure) I noticed their face/neck and headplate were all the same colour and pattern. Does that hold for all of them in Andromeda?

Doesn't hurt lore-wise either if you have some very alien races actually be near indentical...would add emphasis to Turian facepaint and the significance of it in regards to identity.
