    I was a bit curious about this comment when I heard it from Maleon, I think? If the genophage affects fertility rate, why are there dead krogan children? Or are these metaphorical children?


    p.s. sorry for being awful.
    I am curious if I missed something crucial

    Krogan give live birth so it isn't just unviable eggs there are actual corpse mounds

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    the genophage doesn't affect fertility, it makes it so that most krogan children are stillborn

    i want to cure the genopphage, but i would also want to remove grunt from the breeding population.

    Cause fuuuuuuuuuck an army of Grunts.

    wait so if krogan give live birth how does that work with their really fast birth rate

    are krogan babies just tiny or are pregnant krogan females like giant bloated baby production lines


    these questions must be answered

    No see the problem with Grunt breeding is he is genetically perfect. and designed to pass these traits. so, in a generation you would have several hundred best krogans. in two you would have tens of thousands.

    Raised by normal krogan society, so listlessly violent. That is a Bad Thing.

    i'd imagine they start off kinda like tadpoles and then quickly mature into little krogans.

    not all of them can be taught by both wrex and shepard

    Goatmon, that youtube preview image is pretty NSFW.

    Anybody got a good OP ready for the next thread?

    yeah, they're real frog-y, so I feel like they'd definitely do a tadpole thing

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    Like, i really liked Grunt, he is probably one of my favourite party members, and his discovery of what it means to be krogan is really interesting. but also scary.

    Because apparently what it means to be krogan is a violent sociopath with a malleable code of honour.

    Okeer's goal was to conquer the galaxy. He's not a pussy like Wrex.

    Wrex isn't a pussy, wrex is a man with a sense of duty to rebuild his race as best he can. he's a fighter, not a scientist. So he's going to do it the only way he knows how. bedding women.

    Next time somebody starts up a Krogan cloning project, maybe take then out at normal birthing stage and let them grow up normally.

    I bet you baby Krogan are adorable and those of us who are understanding of what Mordin did. Will be like "F U Salarians" ...whenever baby Krogans show up . (maybe in Mass Effect spin off 5 or something..)

    this is why I have no problem being rude to the Shaman because krogan culture is basically awful

    I thought if you had the demo it gave you a free month of Gold and I assumed that was for the purposes of playing the multi

  • Butler For Life #1Butler For Life #1 Twinning is WinningRegistered User regular
    takyris, I just want to say that the ME3 demo is an absolute blast

    if my brother hadn't already preordered the collector's edition, I would have done so immediately after my my first extended multiplayer session

    I don't think you even need to set anything up. It just allows you to play the multi until the game officially releases.

    Also, that i want more games where i can play as a krogan.

    there's a thin line to walk between ethnocentrism and moral relativism

    I think Wrex is the best way for krogan to stay who they are, while learning to live with the rest of the galaxy
