  • I was a great fan of both Urdnot Wrex & Wreav in ME1 & ME2. I see Wreav being on par with Wrex in terms of intelligence and wisdom. Even though they both hold to different views. Big fan of the Krogans!

    Sadly in ME3 they decided to butcher him and made him completely unintelligent and even chose an entire different Voice Actor. Jim Cummings voiced Urdnot Wreav in ME2. Roger L. Jackson voiced ME3 version of Urdnot Wreav. I know on the Mass Effect fanpage wiki it list Jim Cummings voicing Wreav for ME3 but that was not the case. I got in touch with the developers at Bioware, they confirmed it was Roger L. Jackson who voiced Wreav in ME3. Why they chose a different VA is very questionable just like how they decided to choose a different VA for Mordin Solus in ME3...

      @@TheDestati For sure, and Bioware has given us examples of flawed rulers before: such as Lord Harrowmont in Dragon Age. The guy is a nice person but a terrible king.
      Wreav is a good example of someone who'd probably be an awesome squadmate but probably shouldn't be ruling over a planet.
      Though sometimes I do wish that like... it wasn't a clear-cut choice of good vs. evil so much as just two people with very different visions.
      So imagine a scenario where Wrex surviving means that the Krogan get united under a more reformist leader who wants to change the Krogan, whereas uniting them under Wreav unites them under a traditionalist who wants to maintain the old ways of the Krogan.

This version of Wreav is actually likable and charismatic. He comes off as wise and well respected, about intellectually on par with Wrex but with a more traditional attitude.

    Ignoring the different voice actor, this is... a very different Wreav than Mass Effect 3 gave us.

      Agreed, I don't know why they made Wrex and Wreav such polar opposites in ME3; both of them should've been different shades of grey when it came to their viewpoints, as opposed to them just simply having black and white character traits and views. In fact, now that I think about it, they ruined a handful of characters in ME3.

Come ME3, all of a sudden he's part of the Citadel coup and it isn't even explored nor explained why he allied with Cerberus. Bioware just made him a bad guy that you can kill just because he was a dick to Shepard on multiple occasions.
      With Illusive Man and Cerberus as a whole, they've been reduced to Saturday morning cartoon villains. I loved how TIM in ME2 was a calculating, results at all costs kind of guy who had questionable methods of stopping the reapers, but still had the same goals as Shepard; come ME3 he's just a generic villain who is power hungry for most of the game, and is pretty much Saren-Lite by the end.
      Bioware had a golden opportunity to capitalize on so many characters that had shades of gray to them, but instead cheaped out on it.
      While he's not popular, they even did a character assassination on Jacob. He stated in ME2 that he doesn't want any kids as it wouldn't be fair to the child, come ME3 he conceives a child in the middle of a reaper invasion; not to mention that cheating on Femshep is way out of character for him.

      @@TheDestati I couldn't have said it better myself. ME3 was clearly a rush job, and there was no way that the final product was what was originally intended for the final chapter of the trilogy. I know the ending was terrible and the writing is mediocre in some places, but there are loads of reasons why I consider ME3's SP campaign the worst out of the trilogy. I could be here all night listing reasons why ME3 as a whole was such a disappointment, but my main gripe which you already pointed out was the treatment of ME2 characters. ME3 has the worst squad selection, and was such a huge letdown.
      It just so happens that *every* squadmate that was introduced in ME2 had a reason to not join Shepard once again on the Normandy... okay then. I wasn't expecting all the ME2 squadmates to return, but we should've at least gotten 2-4 of them:
      - Not having a Krogan on the team was just wrong. I liked James, but he's pretty much a cut and paste of Grunt. Grunt called you his battlemaster, and pretty much stated in ME2 he'd follow you to the ends of the galaxy as long as you bring him worthy enemies. Grunt was never a leader, but all of a sudden in ME3 Wrex/Wreav put a 6 month old Krogan with barely any experience to speak of to lead a squad of his own with Aralakh Company.
      - Miranda+Jacob should've joined Shepard on the Normandy. Having them clash with Kaidan/Ash for being ex-Cerberus would've been so interesting, and I can imagine how awesome it would've been to have them storm Cronos Station with Shepard. I understand that Jacob isn't popular, but Miranda who was the poster child for ME2 deserved better.
      - Jack... there is no way in hell that Jack was always intended for a 5 minute cameo. You mean to tell me that Jack got a massive redesign for her model for just a 5 minute cameo? I'm not buying it for a second, because it's painfully obvious that Jack was initially intended to be a fulltime squadmate during development, and was ultimately cut out due to time constraints. Miranda played a much larger role and had more screentime compared to her, yet she has the exact same model minus the Cerberus logo on her chest. Plus Jack has the 2 illuminated lights on her jacket and one on the back of her pants where weapons would usually be holstered like any other fulltime squadmate would. Why would she have those if we never see her fire a gun once? Plus if you have the collector's edition, she's even featured in the art book showing her redesign sketches. It's fishy...
      - Legion definitely should have rejoined us just for the fact that we barely got to use him in ME2.
      Don't even get me started on the treatment of ME2 romances being brushed over in ME3... (dancing with Jack?!)
      I love both Garrus and Tali, but come on: if Garrus the advisor for the Turian army can abandon Palaven's moon in the midst of the reaper invasion, and Tali the Admiral/Advisor can abandon her people, then Grunt can rejoin you after dealing with the Rachni, Jacob can actually be useful after rescuing the ex-Cerberus scientists instead of just watching them build the crucible, Miranda can help you combat Cerberus on the Normandy, Jack can leave her kids with Sanders, and Legion can rejoin you in battling the old machines.
      Hell, we were supposed to get temporary squadmates and Thane was actually confirmed at one point. I actually would've been fine with this, because it would've been a hell of a lot better than what we got. Miranda could've teamed up with us on Horizon and then Cronos station along with Jacob (seriously, Miranda gives no explanation on why she doesn't join you after Horizon), Wrex and Legion could've easily been temporary squadmates during their stay on the Normandy, all of the ME2 squadmates could've been temporary squadmates during their side missions in ME3.
      People tend to blame the suicide mission because everyone has a chance of dying, but last I checked Garrus and Tali were among those that could die as well. If they could program them to appear as squadmates in ME3, then they could've programmed everyone else as well; Miranda really bugs me because she was the hardest to kill off. What really irks me is that people actually defend this crap by saying that they don't want to waste resources by programming someone from ME2 as a squadmate in ME3 because they could be dead, hence not appearing at all in ME3; which is fucking stupid because what's stopping you from doing another playthrough where you can have them survive? I mean with that logic, the Citadel DLC is a waste of resources with the Armax Arena. I mean the rest of us that made the right choices have to suffer because some of those got their squadmates killed? Give me a break. The suicide mission wasn't even that hard, you practically had to go out of your way to have people killed since it was all common sense. Having EDI as a squadmate was stupid as hell as well, and it just felt like a cop out to not put in the work to program another ME2 squadmate in ME3.
      ME3 needed waaaaaaay more development time as it released only 2 years after ME2. I didn't mean to go on a long rant about the treatment of ME2 squadmates, but when it comes to this particular issue, it's what pisses me off the most about ME3. At least we got the best DLC in the series aka the Citadel DLC to make up for some of this; it also proved that Bioware could've made ME2 characters squadmates again in ME3 if given the proper amount of time. /endrant

      "The whole point is replay value? That’s the whole point why ME1 and ME2 was great. They replay value. Ever herd of Paragon and Renegade playthroughs? Last, I remember, there was a reward given to players from an ME1 save file transferred to ME2? And if you transferred ME1 and ME2 to an ME3 (which I always did) you get greatly rewarded?"
      EXACTLY!!!! REPLAY VALUE!!!! THAT'S THE POINT! I wish these shills would understand this and actually think about this instead of just willingly accepting what was given to them and us in the end product. What makes ME3 so goddamn disappointing is that almost every playthrough is the exact same no matter what previous choices you made in ME1 and ME2: Udina is always counselor no matter who you chose in ME1, there's always a rachni queen (clone or not) if you chose to spare or kill her in ME1, and Illusive Man still manages to salvage the whole freaking human reaper regardless if you saved the base or destroyed it to the point of seeing everything getting vaporized. Monumental choices are just an afterthought. Hell, even Shepard's backstory and military record is brushed over: I'm not saying it should have a massive role in the overall story, but why the hell does my Renegade Spacer Shepard care about Earth so much, and is so easily offended by Joker's Asari dancer quip after Thessia?
      I agree with your Tuchanka point: we got so many variables from the previous 2 games that had such a large impact, *that it should have been like this for the whole damn game!!* Wrex alive, Mordin alive, data destroyed; Wrex alive, Mordin dead, data saved; the possibilities are grand! In fact, Mordin's loyalty mission in ME2 in regards to the data had such a huge impact to the point where it decided Eve's fate, and if Wrex was either trusting of you or was very hostile towards you during his time on the Normandy. Where the hell was this level of variations for the rest of the game, especially in the final mission?! I always felt that after the Tuchanka story arc, the game just fell apart afterwards. It also bugged me that Ash/Kaidan missed out on Tuchanka and their reunion with Wrex :(
      I loved Liara in the first game, but I came to despise her by ME3. Maybe despise is too strong of a word, but she was just flat out annoying with the amount of times Bioware kept shoehorning her in every scene, and pushing their agenda of having her as the main love interest. She always got all the special scenes as well. The whole appeal of this series was that there was no canon: the Mass Effect canon was whatever it was you wanted it to be, but by ME3 it felt like I was playing as someone else's Shepard.

      I disagree.
      Wrex wanted his race to be restored...by producing as many new Krogans as possible via reproduction.
      Instead of war, he understood they need a time of peace, to procreate as much as possible.
      HOW the future will look like AFTER they have trillions of Krogan again is a different matter.
      You can see a glimpse of that by one of Wrex's comments in ME3 on Tuchanka. He says something along the lines of "...and we will get a few new planets for our many new Krogans from the Council (aka the other races)". I felt this comment was not a joke but something of a veiled threat. Frankly, if a player would be less naive and hopeful about the world, they would realize that Krogans are a damn creepy alien race: Living extremely long, love wars, can reproduce extremely strongly, are hard to kill, want to colonize and branch out.

      As for grunt it’s pretty clear the Krogan idea of rank and leadership isn’t just a copy paste of human army/marine protocol. Aralakh company didn’t even _exist_ until wrex (or wreav if wrex is dead) made it himself, it’s not some old military branch with centuries of tradition and decorum behind it. It’s a new select combat unit composed of various clan representatives. If wrex is alive grunt tells you that he put him in charge because he wanted the group to have a leader that represented the future of their species, meanwhile if Wreav is in charge it’s mentioned that he appointed grunt as leader mainly because of his strength.
      For the background of Arlakh company itself as a war asset we get this information masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/War_Assets/Krogan#Aralakh_Company :
      _“Aralakh Company is made up of krogan from all over Tuchanka, each chosen for their strength, ferocity, and fighting experience. No krogan community would dream of sending anything less than its finest warriors to represent their clan. The honor of who's to be chosen for the company has started more than one brawl. Aralakh Company is led by Grunt, a genetically engineered "perfect soldier" who fought the Collectors with Commander Shepard. While young, the krogan has survived such brutal battles that the older warriors of the group have begrudgingly accepted his command. Grunt was appointed representative of Clan Urdnot in addition to becoming head of Aralakh Company, a political appointment not lost on the other clans. Grunt sees this new position as the first large victory he has won on his own--the respect of his people is difficult to come by”_
      Essentially grunt was appointed for Urdnot as a representative and leader of Aralakh company because of his unique fighting experience that even the older krogan respect. The fact that he’s tank bred and thus technically younger than his peers is rather irrelevant in that way his attitude and actions are what matter more to the krogan when it comes to status (especially since he’s already completed his rite and earned his adult standing). He has notable skill in combat, a knack for leadership and cares about his unit.

Or else, this time the galaxy will have no choice but to wipe the Krogan race from the face of the galaxy like they never existed. Like it happened with the Rachni.

    • @combinecommando001

      Consider the following fact that for Krogans, traditions are extremely important, so wanting to stray from them even if the reason is just is radical in their eyes. And death is daily fact for the Krogans, hell, most Krogans don't even know just how long they can live until they die of old age because they always put themselves in danger and die because of it. So not being sad over Wrex is just the reality of things for Krogans.
      The same logic could be applied to Dwarves in fantasy settings and yet everyone loves the dwarves.
      He's wise on the fact that he can be talked to, reasoned with. Hell, if he was so stuck with the traditions, he wouldn't have even considered allowing Grunt to take part in the rite of passage, but thanks to his connection with Okeer. Something that would hurt his reputation horribly just by even considering it, but he takes the risk all the same.
      So no, I think you're being blinded by your love for Wrex, I love him just as well, but you have to see past that. Wreav is a traditionalist but not without reason here, unlike the horrid portrayal he was given in ME3, just so it would make the decision to sabotage the cure easily a black and white decision, a failure of writing if I ever saw one.

If he's allowed to rule, he's going to maintain values that only war and destruction are the answer for every problem in the universe, and keep alive the feeling of revenge that so many Krogans have against the galaxy. And don't dismiss what I said, because the "His death turned his friends into mine." ? He clearly means that the moment Wrex stood on the Saren's side, was the moment he betrayed his own ideals, consequentially discrediting them and ensuring no other Krogan would ever consider his ideals again, because they made it "impossible for the race to survive".

      @@JabamiLain I wasn't dismissing what you said about his death. I was arguing the fact that you used how he called Wrex's allies on Tuchanka as "radicals" for believing that his way was the correct course and yes, it is, I don't argue that. But you brand Wreav based on how he calls them that without considering the fact that to him and traditionalists like him see those who give up traditions as being radical, taking it too far. If you held his mindset, you would think so too. Just as you would think of Wreav as a traditionalist radical for being so anchored into them, which he is.
      What I was arguing was the matter of perspective. As for being wise, unlike Wrex, he would have to be convinced by suggesting methods that would benefit him in the short and long term. Is he selfish? yes. Is he unreasonable? Stubborn but not unwilling to listen. Is he an idiot? Arguable, he seems to be capable of thinking before acting unlike his ME3 counterpart.
      And that's mainly what I was arguing about, this version of him is harsh, cold, calculating and stubborn, but he seems capable of pragmatism if it benefits him, allowing Grunt the rite benefits him and his clan and that would be considered pragmatic considering Grunt's origins.
      Meanwhile, his ME3 counterpart wouldn't do any of that, just a loud mouth with no brain who just wants to shoot everything in sight.

That, combined with his cunning nature and the fact that the Reapers love to indoctrinate people like him, we could have either a Wreav resisting indoctrination or sucumbing to it, a Wreav that either makes ammends with, kills, is killed by Wrex, or dies in battle. A Wreav that attempts to ensure that when the Genophage is cured, the clans will be on his side, and so we have to participate in the games of Krogan's politics to decide which direction we want the Krogans to follow, etc.
