FICTION | The one who we love to hate. Who?

Drack lived it. Everything that the Salarians did, so if anyine can be humoured for holding a grudge, it should be him.

At the same time - he is also aware that he is a grumpy old man, it's one of the reasons he distanced himself from the Krogan. He needs points for that. He knows they need to look forward, not backwards and that he can't let go of old wounds which is not the best for his people.

I'm not a fan of Morda either. However, disposing of her would be a relief. I'm still trying to make up one character that I hate, but that I would miss if disposed off. Tann still don't prompt any specific reaction from my fluffy heart.

Morda - and I bet I can beat her in a slapfight.

You know she's going to be nothing but a headache, is bad for both you and the Krogan, and they are going to make you eat everyone else's crow every time you talk to her AND make you have to deal with her again and again.

Also the fact that if you don't rescue Krogan scouts even the Krogan you like will write you off stung. Screw you Krogan.

I think that has far more to do with choosing a salarian, over a few krogan than anything.

The korgan  despise the Salarian and who can blame them really.

Mordo, Drack, and Kesh know I'm neither Salarian nor any part of their beef with the Nexus or anyone in the Milky way galaxy if they want to carry the grudge over. The game made me select from yet another spin of the bad or worse prizewheel. I can choose between having someone's back who just bailed me out and save the only original pathfinder that survived or four random Krogan Scouts I'll face in a later battle I will win anyway. Not like the Kett can't find another Krogan if the plot calls for it.

I don't blame them for hating the Salarians. They are the ones though deciding Krogan first - and if you don't agree with that you're just another thing I have to work around to get there.

There are roughly 500 Krogan floating about Andromeda somewhare, because only 700 of the 1200 Krogan who came to Andromeda setup a colony on Elaaden (the info is on a datapad in Spender's room).

Always find these references funny..

If the salarians hadn't introduced the genophage.. we'd all be dead.  There'd be no ME:A. 

The Reapers would probably have had nothing to destroy either.  So no ME3.

That's a possible outcome but other things could've happened that also could've stopped the Krogan in other ways. I'm sure that if Shepard can beat the Reapers, he/she could've dealt with the Krogan. There tend to more than just two options in life, you know.

I think it's a pity that throughout the series noone ever really says that what the salarians did, was actually of benefit to the krogan.   It stopped them wiping themselves (completely) & everyone else, out and it gave them pause for thought.  So if anything, the krogan should love the salarians.

Actually, Mordin tries to say this but can't quite get himself to believe it.

Really this is like saying that since the poorest American Blacks are still well ahead of most of the people in Africa they should be applauding the slave trade, which no one will. Or, if you prefer, you could say that since in WW2 the Japanese troops fought to the death and the civvies committed suicide to escape capture, the Japanese people should be grateful for being nuked into submission rather than getting invaded and ending their race.

Of course the Salariens, geniuses that they are, managed to go one step more horrifying. One of the female Krogan, I think it was Eve, described the effects of the Genophage as literal piles of dead babies. At the hospital where I work there are these little pictures of a leaf with a raindrop on it which go on the doors of rooms where a baby just died. You learn really quickly to not go into those rooms unless you really have to, because those parents are just DESTROYED. That's for one baby and these parents will most likely be able to have others. For most Krogan parents, it is dozens of dead babies at once, and the probability that even though you HAVE to keep trying that's all it will ever be. The Salariens created something to stabilize an animal population, although based on what we've seen of animals in captivity they might have died out anyway. To use this on a sentient race, to even create it for that purpose, shows that you either regard that race as nothing more than animals or that you have such an utter lack of "humanity" that you make AdolphHitler look good.

I'm actually surprised that the Krogan didn't come up with a version of the Genophage for the Salariens, and maybe Turiens, infect their race(s), and then sit back and scream "Payback's ABITCH!!!"
