Poll: Mass Effect: Should the Quarians go to war?*Spoilers*

[Spector29]

I know all of your arguments and stuff.... but what about the homeworld... I mean its their mother 'effin homeworld, it's their earth.

It's the Geth Homeworld too.

Ah but what do the Geth need one for? They are machines, they don't even use windows even in space...and space is AWESOME. (oh by the way I personally think that they should wait the Reaper attack out and go from there figuring things out)

But they have acheived sentiance. Just because they rely on metal than flesh, does not mean it's ok to wage a turf war with them, under the pretentious assumption of a moral highground.

They may be sentient but they are not emotional or sentimental, they use logic, and logicly they could find another world with no difference whatsoever. Plus Quarians had dibbs.

 

[LetalisK]

The Quarians don't seem to be in any position to wage any kind of significant war without suffering ridiculous loses. They're barely keeping their home fleet together. Quarians need to realize they fucked up, suck it up, and move on.

 

[Phlakes]

Well, I reprogrammed the heretics, so it should be easy to make peace with them. I also expect to be able to have the Geth as allies in the third game.

 

[Kakashi on crack]

Well, if the geth and Quarians made peace it would be very beneficial to both groups.

Why the Geth and Quarian don't see this... *shrug*

 

[archvile93]

No, they'd get destroyed, and according to Legion the Geth don't even use the planets they conquered. If peace was made, the geth would probably just give them their homeworld back.

 

[Angerwing]

The Quarians cannot win a war with the Geth. That is a fact. The Geth can win against the Quarians, at the risk of further demonising themselves in galactic society. A war would only end in death for the Quarians, and they are best off making peace and sharing their homeworld. Provided the extremely prejudiced elements of the Quarian command structure can learn to get over themselves.

 

[Caligulove]

Well Legion said that the Geth were building a Dyson sphere around the planet itself, so I can see how a symbiotic relationship could work out. Not to mention that Geth don't seem to be very hard to negotiate with if you're upfront and logical about your reasons for peace and come up with a solid plan.

Legion even says that it makes no sense to treat Geth and other synthetics the same as other biological species in the galaxy, and that actually doing so, is racist. Geth don't need complications and reasons for changing their minds, only the placement of data.

Quarians going to war would never work, though. Geth are too powerful.

 

[Bek359]

War is not an option. The quarian people couldn't beat the geth at the height of their glory, and now that the geth have been expanding, making more of themselves, and adapting in new ways and the quarians... have not... there's no way that the war would be anywhere near successful. If Shepard did Legion's loyalty mission, the only remaining Geth are those who bear no true ill will toward the quarians, but are nonetheless very wary about them, considering, y'know, the quarians shot first. At this point, the only options for the quarian race is peace with the geth or extinction, one way or another.

 

[Grigori361]

No for several reasons most notably if they make peace they can HAVE their fucking homeworld back, talk with legion a bit, he mentions that the geth don't really use the planet much they just act as Stewards to maintain it.

 

[Bravo 21]

They should not go to war, largely because I think they are now permanently nomadic because of the first war with the Geth, and since then, I dont think that they have developed a large or advanced enough military to beat the Geth, who seem to be much more militarily capable then the Quarians. Wait, maybe see how the war with the reapers plays out. Its probs going to be a bigger deal to them, cause really, survival of all sentinent life or who has what planet when?

 

[Canid117]

If they want to get their asses handed to them sure.

 

[GodofCider]

Considering what is revealed in Mass Effect 2 about the Geth and the Quarians, the only logical conclusion one would make is for them to make peace and get along. The two working together could go quite far.

SPOILER

Incidentally, I chose to reintroduce the 'virus' (now modified), into the...I'll call them single-minded, populations of hostile Geth.

 

[Internet Kraken]

God no, The Quarians would be absolutely slaughtered by the Geth. If you want the Quarians to survive, they don't really have any choice but to relocate to another planet. Or stop being stubborn and make true peace with the Geth, but that seems unrealistic given the amount of racism against the Geth that has been worked into Quarian society. Plus the Geth are paranoid, so they might not accept peace anytime soon.

You don't know what it's like to have to live in a suit your whole life. We must reclaim our planet, war seems most likely; but if anyone can negotiate peace, it would be Shepard.
I begrudgingly accept that peace is the most preferable option, only if it means that we avoid the unnecessary loss of our people.

Goddamn I wanted to punch Tali when she said that. Being stuck in a biohazard suit is no excuse to throw away millions of lives in a destructive conflict and commit genocide against an innocent race. That's disgusting and selfish.

I know all of your arguments and stuff.... but what about the homeworld... I mean its their mother 'effin homeworld, it's their earth.

It's the Geth's homeworld to. Just because they're machines doesn't mean they are any less entitled to it than the Quarians.

WAR

Geth don't die, they are like Cylons o.o

Quarians do ... therefore Quarians should go to war and shut them all down, by force Geth can live on in their little servers and the Quarians have their home planet back n.n

Win-Win situation n.n

Geth still 'live' (in their servers), quarians get their birthright back n.n

I preferred fighting the Geth than I did the collectors in ME2 <.< Geth are like ... strangely satisfying targets when you destroy them ... whereas Collectors or mercs aren't as much fun for some reason ... I don't know why x.x

Anyways ... any action that will give Shepard the greatest chances to destroy more Geth n.n

 

[BakaSmurf]

The Quarians should pull their heads out of their racist asses and just make peace with the Geth, whom, by the way, Legion has outright stated are only on the Quarian homeworld at this point in order to maintain the planet and ensure it's still livable by the time the Quarians pull their heads out their racist asses, make peace, and return.

The fact that, if you did Legion's loyalty mission,

Spoiler: EPIC ME2 SPOILERS

the only remaining Geth in existance are Legion's faction, the ones that're actually quite tolerant, if not benevolent towards life, as opposed to the bloodthirsty Reaper-aligned Geth that you wiped out, doesn't help the Quarian's claims that the Geth is teh evuls and must be wiped out either.

 

[Twilight_guy]

They should talk to the Geth and you know realize "hey they've been keeping our home-world stable for us this whole time in case we return, they aren't so bad after all" but no, they're probably going to go tearing into the Geth spook them and start a war... sigh. I want more Legion.

Hating circuits = racist? It's not even specist.

Being 'specist' towards geth is like being 'specist' when you eat a hamburger because you're killing a cow to have it. 'Poor, poor cows' *Munches on beef mince patty*.

In the Quarian's case ... 'Poor, poor toasters' *loads Widowmaker* D:<
