SALARIAN: Cultural index

6:02 Rotates the bread for a perfect consistent crisp ... yeah, I'd want one of those ... 🍞

[@LostMercenary99]

Sur'Kesh. The only Council Homeworld that didn't get even touched by the Reapers.

[@miss_baphomet]

there was literally a mission where surkesh gets attacked by indoctrinated cerberus operatives

[@asher8754]

By the end of the game sur kesh was most likely getting the first wave of an invasion but the war ended before earth or palaven level damage

[@markw3953]

That is correct!

[@erieperry8241]

i wonder if there is a salarian equivalent to the cautionary tale of curiosity and the cat. love their approach tho everything! dont waste looking back. always look forward using logic and reason. great video!

[@Techischannel]

While Curiosity killed the Cat, it avoided further Deaths of other Cats.

Vorchaaaaa

[@danielyeshe]

Certifiably Ingame Is this race named after the Klingon attack cruiser?

[@kitfo18]

I know nothing about Mass Effect but I know this channel and how good they are at going over these kind of things. If you are here and didn't intend to be stick around as you might just become more interested in Mass Effect. The guy is that good.

[@stueymon]

That Salarian toaster does sound pretty sweet

[@Buddy74656]

Salarians are my favorite Mass Effect race. Thank you for touching on them.

[@Voltaic_Fire]

That ionic bread carboniser sounds pretty good right now, I could go for some peanut butter and mass effect jam toast.

[@Qardo]

I once asked a Salarian technician to fix my frig. It came back being able to be a portal to another plane of exists to which my food never ages, rots, or is stolen by food thieves. To this day. Still, cannot figure out how he was able to get the power output to be so stable.

[@markw3953]

Yeah theyre the best.

[@CertifiablyIngame]

[@saqwana25]

I would say this one cause the vorcha don't really a culture.

[@larsavaleth8151]

they do have a culture its heavily based to survival of the fittest to the extreme. and they were discovered by humans

[@jamieskeels7125]

on the citadel how to you think prison works? I mean based on life spans a sularian has a very a short life-span so for example a human may receive 5 yeas for theft, should salarians receive the same length? as it is a much larger percentage of their life and their is asari outrageously long life 5 years would be a mear drop in the pond

[@larsavaleth8151]

i think it based on the culture for the race they come from for example the loss of a hand for one race and imprisonment of another. the council main rule was not to interfere in the culture beliefs of it members this is why slavery exist in the bartarian and yet looked down on in the rest of the galaxy it would also include their rules

[@jamieskeels7125]

that actually hadn't crossed my mind thanks

[@leeeverett4507]

Imagine how depressing a life sentence would be for an Asari, over 800 years of imprisonment.

[@TeddyKrimsony]

by the time mass effect takes place incarceration is considered a cruel punishment, instead the punishment is financial and is proportional to the damages caused (at least for humanity). However, in citadel space the criminals are referred to the counter-crime department of their respective species.

[@asher8754]

Nonsense there are literally prison ships and shepherd was threatened with a court martial

[@johnsteiner3417]

I like the idea of a Salarian fixed toaster.

[@larsavaleth8151]

hey their i love the series and i enjoy them. i noticed you didn't mention the sarlaians were the ones accidentally started the rachni war when open activated an uncharted mass relay leading to the reason why all relays have to be charted before activation, why the first contact war began. or how they uplifted the krogon to fight that war and later created the genofage that turians used on the krogon to slow down thier birth rate and end the rebellions.

[@samiamrg7]

Mordin is probably my favorite character in all of Mass Effect.

[@bigbitehood1353]

Can you imagine an immortal salarian

[@daricf3434]

I want that toaster!!

[@jyshot]

Imagine trying to get a refund for it

[@Kainlarsen]

They also like to have their battles won before they're fought. Rules of engagement are laughable to them, since they figure why the hell would you let your enemy know you were about to attack them? :D

[@PapaGermaine90]

Don't forget the weapon we get from the salarians through 3 and Andromeda the salarians scorpion is literally a grenade launcher made into a pistol, the salarians like to win quickly and effectively

[@maxwell_edison]

Bro he just described normal human family practices to us to explain salarians... "Well. You have your mom and siblings. Then cousins, second cousins. Then the families of who those cousins are with and marry and have kids with," so.. humans

[@ShadowHunter120]

I now want to give a salarian a toaster...

[@richardjackson9584]

I wonder when cultural index will get to a fascinating culture the bajorans

[@MrRemmington]

Man I was hoping you did a Salarian one after finding your Krogan one. My favourite race

[@CalasTyphon488]

Good video , although I think you should of mentioned the genophage that they created , Also rip mass effect since ea has totally fcuked bio ware over now .

[@cathalhughes5996]

I think the salarians are probably my fourth favourite maybe

[@Janoha17]

How well would a Salarian and a Vulcan get along?

[@flyingfoamtv2169]

vulkans would think the salarians were illogical for always pushing forward without consulting their past, the salarians would call the logic of thr vulkans into question due to the prevelence of religion in vulkan culture.

[@jamescrawley7993]

I Love my Salarian Pilot that flies the Tempest. He makes me laugh! The best pilot!

[@toniodivichi5749]

I'd love to know how they came up with this stuff. Most aliens in sci fi all believe the same religion. But these guys have different sects. And it's so detailed.

6:15 'Wrote' not 'Writ'.......Sorry Sorry Sorry.

[@MakeEmRageQuit]

i don't think they thought the whole "males hatch from unfertilized eggs, females from fertilized eggs" thing through very much when designing them. Such breeding structures would result in limited genetic diversity among the species, not to mention the fact that it wouldn't make sense for unfertilized eggs to bear males, as the embryos would carry an exact match of the mother's DNA, rendering them as nothing more than clones. Even with the magical ability for them to be male, they would still have a stagnant gene pool, that would have prevented the species from surviving long enough to reach an intelligence capable of creating ways to deal with the thin gene pool. they're a great concept for a species, but would literally have died out due to genetic defects from the shallow gene pool(essentially inbreeding), and due to the fact that those defects would have made them easy pickings for the planet's predators.

[@samiamrg7]

Yeah, the concept of having extremely few females and large numbers of males just kinda doesn’t work from an evolutionary standpoint.

[@ghostnebula8805]

Unfertilized honeybee eggs become males.
