From my experience, I only picked saving the Pathfinder. I sort of considered most of the Krogans were alive at Eladeen. Drack gets mad if we leave them behind. I don't know what happens when you choose not saving the Pathfinder. I think Drack will NOT be mad at you, but the Salarians might be a bit annoyed, specially Tann. But since when you ever cared about him anyway?
It might change a little the ending cut scenes, though.
I have completed the game 3 times and all 3 times I picked Raeka. These are my reasons:
If MEA2 does get produced, think there maybe some differences between Raeka and her successor(think he's the pilot and he seemed overwhelmed and lapping up everything Tann said). That outcome vs saving some random krogan scout. It's like would I save one of the members of the fantastic 4(4 pathfinders) or henchman 1, 2, 3, to 8? This to me really wasnt an Ash vs Kaidan type choice lol...
Krogan picker here. I didn't know the amount of Krogans that you could save, but I chose the krogans over the pathfinder and other salarians mainly for the sake of reproduction. Kesh said they only made a dent in advancing the possibility to reproduce, so to me it was more important to save every krogan as much as possible. Also, I want to get on Drack's good side.
So far only Tann whined about my decision if I recall correctly. I thought the Salarian pilot would complain about it as well, but surprisingly he did not. He only seemed to care about the Aden thingy (my PC automatically chose the wrong option because of faulty touchpad, don't judge me 😛).
Since there's talks about Krogan, here are some facts of krogan reproduction based on the previous ME series:
Without the genophage(or after the genophage cure): EDI mentioned in ME3, a krogan female of breeding age can produce up to 1000 fertilized eggs a year.
With a full-blown Genophage(not cured and no modifications): Mordin mentioned that the Genophage keeps checks population growth at 1 to 1000. Which basically means mathematically a female Krogan even without curing the genophage could have 1 child per year. Say if the chances improve due to the 600 year voyage, that number should go up...
Out of a 1000 year lifespan lets say 50% of it is spent as a sexually active adult, that's 500 kids per Krogan female during their lifetime. In a couple of century Krogans will outnumber not just the milky way species but eventually the angarians as well!
