    So, I modded my save to get rid of my little Kaiden problem. I changed the value for "romanced Kaiden" to zero, put the save back on my hard drive, loaded it, and beat the game again. Now, I import that save into a new game, and Kaiden won't think we're in love anymore, right?

    I think that'll work. But if you talked to Liara at all she'll probably think you're in love now. So you may need to go back and set her love to zero as well.

    medigel is probably a sterile solution, and quarian suits are probably like combat suits in that they are capable of spreading medigel over a damaged area as an emergency seal until they can do suit repairs

    I'm now picturing a Volus taking a shotgun blast, and promptly exploding like a fleshy balloon.... we don't need a Volus team mate, we need to fight some Volus in ME3.

    The explodey thing isn't a problem on their homeworld. It's like asking how we survived long enough to invent spacesuits if vacuum is so deadly to us.

    Which came first, the volus or the volus suit?
    Boring answer: their home planet atmo is super high-pressure, like their suits.

    Yeah but I mean, humans don't sound like they have the world's worst asthma while using oxygen tanks.

    Off the top of my head, their home planet is ammonia based, which is toxic to us, obviously, but likewise they can't deal with nitrogen and oxygen atmospheres. Plus the pressure is vastly different, hence why their skin would "split open" if their suit ruptured. So the suits were invented so that they could live on other planets/the Citadel.

    what's with the keepers anyway

    I imagine they could alter the Citadel's conditions if the volus were the only species to ever come around, but the keepers can handle that too? i suppose they are cyborgs like the collectors

    Man, would you want the Volus to be the next candidate to make a new Reaper? Weak as hell, unable to survive in most areas of the galaxy... If they were the only ones to crawl out of the primordial ooze, the best solution would be to trigger an early purge and wait for the next round of sentient critters

    Salarians were there first, they're the cool intelligent older brother to the turians.

    Volus created the galactic economy, but apparently council seats are given based on military strength. That is supremely unfair to the weaker species, even to a xenophobe like me.

    Our will is to consume all sapient life.

    Oh, that sounds awful. I have bad gas and anything too sapient gives me heart burn. Don't we have something less acidy?

    No, we must focus our unfathomable power in the destruction of Shepard.

    That sounds like it might be might be violent. I can't get hit in the face, I bleed from the nose far too easily and I'll not be able to sleep right for a week.

    Seems to be largely based on population, as well

    There just aren't very many volus in the galactic community, as I understand it. Nor are there many elcor, hanar, or drell. Not that many of your species represented outside of its home planet? no council seat for you

    What about the hanar? Without antigrav they can't even leave the oceans. Without translators all you'd see is pretty lights. And they get so worked up when the other races go excavating Prothean ruins.

    I don't know what kind of voodoo witchcraft you guys used to beat the colossus by charging it. On the rare occasion that it wouldn't immediately machine gun me and instead shoot the cannon it would always switch as soon as I got it down to armor. I eventually just gave up and blew it up the old fashioned way.
