We're missing the "no one gets it" option.

I suggest someone cosplays as a reaper and blows the containment unit up.

Joker
Miranda
Anderson
Garrus
Jack

Ha, that's actually not bad. Though probably something you could look up. I'm going to take a guess, probably off (for the life of me I can't remember if Turians and Drell have weird life spans - also you should have stuck Mordin in there because he would be amusingly deceptive

):

Jack
Miranda
Shepard
Joker
Garrus
Thane

In my Renegade playthrougth just the other night I told him to drive the Quarian out of business.

Isn't Liara actually fairly old - like in her 50s or 60s? She's just young by Asari standards, but she's had more than enough time to get a Ph.D., put in years of field work and become the galaxy's expert on what has to be a very well studied field - i.e. Prothean history..

I think she said she was 106 in Shadow Broker. Is Wrex really that old?

Edit: Ok, wiki doesn't have an exact age but people were estimating at least 300-something so yeah, he's the oldest.

Orca · February 2012

Liara's 106. You guys, she's only a child.

So how do they stop a random dude from just grabbing it out of the tree with his cherry picker?

Or ladder?

TOGSolid · February 2012

Speaking of Wrex, I had no idea his voice had so much bass to it. My headset rumbles every time he talks.

Replaying ME1 with new characters is pretty damn fun. I had never used Wrex because I was loaded up on biotics already so watching him and Garrus be ultimate space bros together is a blast.

A lot of the Krogans are ancient. I think there's a bit in the codex about how they don't die of old age, since evolution never saw a point to creating old age on the Krogan homeworld.

Orca · February 2012

Isn't Wrex is something like 1000 years old? Krogans are the only race as long lived as the asari as far as I know.

Wrex & Garrus was always my favorite team in ME1

They were just the best. Plus Wrex usually had funny stuff to say.

The argument could be made that Shepard is the youngest due to having died and "reborn" from the Lazurus project.

Mukk · February 2012

I didn't realize Wrex was that old. Now I don't feel bad about shooting him in the face. He had a good life.

Warlock82 · February 2012

This is what I came up with doing wiki searches (assuming 2185 is the "current" year, not sure if that's right but close enough):

Spoiler:

Apparently there are discrepencies

Edit: For the hell of it, I threw in Mordin. Holy shit, he's old!
Edit2: Ok, Mordin date was wrong, fixed.

-Tal · February 2012

39 seems a little young for Thane when he has an adult son. He started working at 12 and only started his family when the hanar allowed him to leave, I'd think they would try to squeeze some more years out of him.

The birthdates are sourced from the old ME2 site, which had some pretty sketchy ages like Grunt at 22 and Zaeed at 40.

-Tal · February 2012

And Mordin at 50 is another sketchy age. Most Salarians don't go above 40.

Hastings still exists?! I used to work there back when I lived in podunkville. I thought they went out of business. At least, all the Hastings I ever knew about are closed now.

Edit: And John Marmaduke was the pres of that company when I worked there, as I recall. So that's the Hastings I used to work for. Maybe they don't have brick and mortar stores anymore, they're web only?

Like 10 pages late on this, but Hastings still has physical locations here in Oklahoma.

According to Wikipedia, Yvonne Strahovski is currently 29, putting her in that range when ME2 was made. So that's a pretty good guess. Though, if Miranda's genetically superior, it makes sense that age wouldn't affect her as quickly as most people.

I'm just going off the wiki which says he was born in 2146. So I make no claim to the authenticity of that date

Just what the wiki says. To be fair, Salarians only live to like, their 30s (again, Mordin is OLD), so Drell may have different life spans. I don't know.

Warlock82 · February 2012

Ugg stupid forum double posting...

Dragkonias · February 2012

Garrus has to still be pretty young.

I'm guessing Turians live about as long as humans(and have similar developmental phases) and Garrus sound like he's pretty green when you first meet him.

I'm guessing 21-23 in ME1 23-26 in ME2.

-Tal · February 2012

Mordin talked about "living out the last decade in peace" so I thought he was early-mid 30's. If he was 50 that would be like a modern human at 120, he wouldn't be fit for combat.

I couldn't find an exact date for him but most people seemed to agree Turians have similar life spans to humans. They also mentioned Turians go through military training from 15-30 so the general feeling was he was just slightly older than Shepard.

Elendil · February 2012

Yeah, Miranda specifically tells you she expects to live half again as long as most people.

Nah, he's probably older. He was in the turian military and C-Sec.
