So the MP volus are voiced by Mark Meer. Not surprising at all.

. . . Nope. My brain can't accept it. It sees the video, and just refuses to believe it's anything less than an acid flashback or something. Even though I've never done acid.

Here's Bioware's explanation:

We wanted to expand on the available races to something less conventional to represent the continuing state of the war. We also wanted to build a pure support class, it's something we've seen requested more then a few times, and the Volus were an interesting opportunity to build a very non-traditional character with a power suite built around staying out of front line combat and an emphasis about boosting team score over personal score.

In response to a user saying "You could have added something better"

Arguably true, there can always be something better, and we certainly strive for that. But we're very happy with the implementation of the Volus, they came out fitting the combat role we were hoping they would, and we're all pretty excited to play them live.

[up][up] Not a word of that is true. They added in the volus because "Look at the pudgy little guy running around! Adorable and hilarious! Look at him!"

I'm still waiting for my Elcor Vanguard. Inability to move without using Biotic Charge in return for being immune to everything but explosions and instakills.

Add something better? I'm pretty sure that outside husks, Collectors, and yahg the volus were the only bipedal species left. Even then we got a whole bunch of new characters from previously used races.

Granted Leviathan could be used to handwave why we get come husk or Collectors...

I kind of wish that if you rolled as a volus, it would be impossible to stop.

I hope they do set Mass Effect 4 after Mass Effect 3: on Earth, in the Fallout-esque post-apocalyptic wasteland that was created after the Reapers were destroyed, the Citadel exploded, and all the Relays in the galaxy destroyed.

You play as Shepard, who has miraculously both survived and been transported 100-200 years into the future. S/he's a clone.

It's not over. Not yet.

Volus - I heard the next operation is for an all volus team, or something? XD

The great crime about introducing volus as a playable class is that other players won't be able to kick and fling them around.

next thing you know, zephyr's going to start calling the volus elfy because they're better at money than humans.

If humans aren't High Men and every other species the Fair Folk, then the setting is crap.

-burns Ebberon books to warm his hands-

Ebberon sucks.

The volus are just absurd. I like the new enviromental hazards the collectors are about what I expected.

Good thing you hate Ebberon.

In the hypothetic world that you hate Eberron, your blood would already been running in the streets.

Is there actually a trope called high men?
