Combine that with a Canadian Samurai, and you might be onto something.Quote:

They're gonna infect your character and turn her into a zombie and you have to live with it! DLC4 true story!
Of all the races we could get, I'd probably play a bioman. (Sensoth too.) This guy's pretty cool:

Looks awful here in the next picture though, don't think it's the same actor or make-up artist, but I was pretty sure it was the same character.

Not a fan of this of this one either... :|

Oh, and while I'm pretty sure we won't be getting biomen, here's something about Canada and Bioman that could be part of the DLC:
"An improbable alliance of former Biomen and Gulanee soldiers have overrun the city of Vancouver and declared British Columbia to be their own personal empire. "
The rest of British Columbia would likely have something to say about that...Vancouver is a very small part of it...not that there's anything even approaching logic in any of this.Quote:

Who says the rest of British Columbia is even intact. Probably get terraformed and messed up a great deal just like everything else...wasteland.Quote:

I like the idea of playable biomen in terms of story lore I'm not sure what to think I would guess that a number of biomen lines went missing during the pale wars and have been reprogrammed by persons unknown to find ark tech. But my money would be on playable sensoths and indogenes
If we ever do get a new race, I fully expect it to be either a smaller version of the blue biomen, or the Tork style Sensoth.
Both of them have to fit the current "frame" of player size.
So Liberata would probably be out of the question.
I'd also say Indogene and Gulanee races, but both of those are suppose to be small in number, i.e. Endangered because not many came over for the ride.
Unless another functional ship shows up in the mythos that has a bunch of them. It wouldn't be out of the question that more ships would show up.
My vote is Sensoth -- makes the most sense in the current lore. And, of course, we'll all be equipped with ROXI rocket launchers :)
Canadian Samurai ... i joke..
Well they did say alien Canadian samourais...Quote:

You truly believes that no Indogene may have combat training and implants? The only 'special' thing about Indogenes is that they are intelligent. So they has to have their own racial fighters to protect their own racial interests. Besides, smart fighter with combat implants is a most deadly one.Quote:

Indogenes "value science and knowledge above all else", meaning that you'd find a great deal more doctors and scientists, than you would warriors. In a way, you can compare them to Salarians from the Mass Effect series. The Salarians have combat capability, but they are very weak and despite the fact that their brains work faster and harder than any other species, they can be easily beaten down by any of the other humanoid species. Plainly evident because Mordin has to be the worst party member ever to take into a firefight. To counteract this, they have special task forces that deal in sabotage, espionage, and assassination, things that don't necessarily require face to face combat. I'd expect the same from such a seemingly fragile species as the Indogenes.Quote:

Thank you for your support in this matter.
Just to set the record straight the 7th Legion are not Canadian ... they just marched through Canada and ended up in Manhattan. Someone in a previous note deduced that the Legion probably originated from Washington State. Also, Canadians are very quiet and polite ...... they don't like being in the limelight! (lol)Quote:

Back in ME we've seen some salarian thugs and bandits, who was fighting Shepard openly using assault rifles, grenades and all that. So what could stop the Indogenes? :)
Sooooo... We're gonna look like smurfs amped up on roids with thunder thighs? That is if this happens.Quote:

There are ALWAYS exceptions.
Personally I do believe that some indogenes are "warrior" types. Why would a race work so hard to create new technology like weapons and then refuse to use said weapons when the time comes, instead just handing them off to races like the Castithans...? That doesn't make any sense at all. If you were pacifists, why make things that kill?
Not to mention that the game DEFINITELY supports less "brutish" types. We've got snipers, cloakers of all kinds, bio-matter gun medics, infector scientists-... And then you've got the fact that indogenes have all of those implants which could do just about anything, do you really think that a race built around having implants wouldn't have ones for strength, survivability, etc. ?
And the math for the Indogene / Salarian survival capability is kind of ridiculous. Comparing races from other games at all is laughable, because the technology is different. Our shields are what we've got, and they're all that stands in the way of a bullet going through our skull whether we're an irathient, a human or an indogene. There isn't anything that makes any one race less capable of taking a bullet to the head. If anything, though, an indogene implant for faster regeneration or quicker reflexes could easily be what saves your life.
Neither Biomen nor Sensoths are going to be playable because of mesh - size incompatibility. I remember reading something about this in another thread and it being attributed to what someone from Trion had stated.
Indogene are supposed to be rare with the smallest population among all the Votan races. They're also supposed to have Indogene manufactured implants that are made for their profession and their profession is always predetermined. While anything is possible it doesn't make a lot of sense to have player Indogenes in the game with no non-EGO implant abilities but that's the only way they can be rolled if Trion is going to be consistent in making choice of race irrelevant from a game mechanics POV.
Supposed to be rare, and yet people have theorized that this could potentially be an indogene cloning facility:
"A region of Indogene crystal-rock formations stretches from Alberta to Saskatchewan – dubbed the Canadian Desert. No animal can survive in this brittle and desolate region, save for a few dangerous species of aliencreatures indigenous to the planet Daribo in the Votanis System. Upon hearing about these wonders, Indogene scientists made a pilgrimage to see it for themselves. They discovered a crashed Ark near the ruins of Edmonton, and went in to explore. No one knows what they found inside that ship, but the Indogenes immediately erected a barrier around it, threatening to kill anyone who came within miles of their find. These rogue Indogenes have been working around the clock on the ship ever since. For what purpose, no one knows."
--http://www.defiance.com/en/series/world-of-2046/2046-map
Rogue indogenes-... Rogue Castithans (Thorn Liro from DLC1)... Sounds like it's possible to me. Yeah, indogenes are the most rare of the votans. But the playable Castithans are a rogue minority, themselves.
Just because they have previous profession-specific implants doesn't mean they can't get those removed or obtain new ones like the EGO. It may not make sense, to you, now, but yes, everything IS possible and pretty much everything CAN make sense. There's no reason that anything about the indogenes would prevent them from potentially being added.
In lore it says they sent their best and brightest on the arks, they no doubt brought along implants that would allow them to adapt to their situation. I don't see them as even remotely stupid, they would know that things could go south, and that they'd need to be prepared to swap out brain-enhancing implants for aim, strength or agility enhancing ones. (This wouldn't bring them above other players, it would allow them to make up for any shortcomings they may have.)
(...due to their ability to analyze and adapt to any situation.) http://en.defiance-wiki.com/wiki/Fil...d_indo_01C.jpg
I don't know where you got that their profession is always predetermined. This seems to contradict the idea: "They are given a short name at birth and later take a second name dependent on their implant and their profession." There's also this... "An Indogene’s role is assigned to them after their childhood education and a series of extensive tests and capability reviews." And that's not to say that they can't "quit" and do something else. Doc Yewll wasn't always "Doc", if you remember her speech she gave to Nicolette about becoming a healer.
Not to mention that, again, the playable Castithans of the Thorn Liro have said "@#$% YOU" to the liro system. Nothing at all stopping playable Indogenes from doing the same, putting whatever implant they want into their body and doing whatever they want with it.
So are you stating that you are NOT a deadly pony then?Quote:

I still see a pretty small number of castithans. Adding them as a part of a payed DLC and so late in the game is enough to keep the game from being overwhelmed by the golf ball heads, we don't need them to be a micro-transaction all on their own.
I would even be interested in Raiders, 99ers, mutants etc, rogue Dark Matter(which is pretty moot) even humanoid scrappers could work however implausible.
Are all Sensoths Torcs size? or do they vary in size etc, I'm not well versed in Defiance's lore like some are.
Is Varus a Sensoth too? and aren't there pure energy Votans.
Varus is Liberata. And the pure energy ones are Gulinee, like in I think Explosions 101 with it's boss.Quote:

Humanoid scrappers though-... That is an interesting thought, kind of. I won't say that it could never happen, but I'm not sure how plausible it really is, taking the story into account.
Sensoths come in different shapes and sizes, this is in the lore. Some are huge and more gorilla-like (the ones in the show) and others are more human-proportioned, like Torc Mok. Obviously if we got sensoths they would be Torc-shaped, because you can't fit show-sized or raider-sized sensoths into what we have to work with in-game.
As Batman said, Varus is a Liberata, they evolved on the same planet as Sensoths and Irathients, but they're much much shorter and have a number of other distinguishing features. It's said that they're very humble now, being a "servant class", so while that's one more "strike" against them potentially being arkhunters, I think it would be cool if Trion/Syfy found a way to bring them into the action.
Here's one from the show:
