I know it isn't everyone's favorite, but there is a line from ME andromeda that I love so much. The krogan on your crew is talking to the Turian on your ship. He remembers when he first saw humans he said. "They are bold for being so squishy, do they know they are made of water?" The turian told him not to tell you (human) but I loved it! Like no matter how inferior we might be to something or how impossible the task. We will still try, with everything we got.
Placing the 'blame' for a demotion onto the person who promoted them in the first place is such an interesting concept. One of the reasons i really like the Turians.
SecondSince Not necessarily the right answer. Case n point yes if you promote a blabbering baffone yes the blame lies solely on you. But if a cunning individual who is not up to the task fakes his achievements and lies about his abilities successfully by tricking everyone e or by stealing other people's accomplishments and he gets promoted...the blame is certainly that of the liar. The only reason why this doesn't happen with the Turians is because of their strong ethics code....or we just aren't told about it.
Well, it's explained in their description that they have a strong sense of civic duty that comes in part from their ten to fifteen years of mandatory military service, starting with boot camp at age 15. In short they prioritize the group over oneself to the point where criminals more often than not will confess to their crimes if directly confronted about their wrongdoings.
The promoter would still be guilty of being taken in by a ruse, judging not just the merit, but also the character of said promotee is a crucial task. You could argue that placing blame for the failures of a demoted Turian on his promoter is quite open for abuse by a cunning corrupt Turian seeking to abuse his rank from behind a shield, and you'd be right, but establishing the character of an individual you've sponsored for promotion is easily as important as their competence. So like any system there's no clear "winner", mostly just circumstantial trade offs in either direction.
@@sidetracker3496 Makes sense to me! But it is a truly fascinating concept! Note: I agree however with the people who say this, it does have its flaws.
@@Paerigos please whatever you do don't let garrus calibrate the entire hierarchy or the reapers won't even make it into the galaxy because they were scoped
I like that the Turians have a societal model that is intrinsically bound within, and unsupportable without, the personal honour of the individual. It has a distinctly Roman feel to it.
Acceleration the Turkish Hierarchy is inspired and reminiscent of Robert Heinlein’s Starship Troopers and some the Roman Empire. Authoritarian but it works for Turians, whether or not it works for humans is a topic for discussion. As far as I can tell, all it needs is to become a republic to be compatible with humans.
@@acceleration4443 fascism isn't traditional, it's revolutionary and futurist, neither is it nessicarily racist. turian society seems pretty fascistic to me.
This is some very well written, narrated and produced content. Very hard work has been put into it. Hope you get more recognition, and keep up the hard work.
Lol.. she read it word for word from the website, Mass Effect WIKI fandom..... I was on it yesterday and just happen to be reading about the turians.. She used a paragraph here and a paragraph there and stiched it togther. (Word for word) Yeah what a lot of hard work. Lol she stole it and claimed as hers.. She even hearted your comment hahaha.. What a joke
I've always considered Turians as similar to the ancient Spartans. I know they get compared to ancient Romans but the strict militaristic organization of their society, and their core values are the same as they were in ancient Sparta.
And Rome borrowed culturally from Sparta. There are valid comparisons to both. Turians seem to be philosophically Aristotelian and Socratic, as much as they are politically Classical Republican (Roman). Rome's military was directly inspired by Sparta. So I think that comparing them to Rome is better because it's more encompassing of all of these philosophical Greco-Roman values. Public service and civic nationalism were paramount in both societies. But if Turians are Spartan-Rome, then Asari are more Athenian.
Looking closely, Spartan culture of not accepting slaves or non Spartan free civilians into becoming Spartan citizens was its downfall. Spartans only made up 10% of their population while slaves made up 80%. Their strict military discipline was the result of them fearing slave revolts which also forced them to only commit 1/3 of their force to war. This in turn resulted in their decline after their wars with Athens which saw almost all their military aged men killed. Alexander never invaded them cuz by his time Spartan only had 1500 men but they were only a shadow of their former selves. By the time of Roman Empire Sparta was jus a tourist attraction. Their discipline during the Roman times was just borderline physical abuse which is what we see in 300 or in books. Which is why Turians is more suited to be compared to Roman legionaries as they both were involved in not just military but public infrastructure, fire fighting, law enforcement and government clerks
Earth fell within hours, and Thessia fell within days...but Palaven never fell. That, for me, is a shining example of who the Turians were. They were so insanely badass that they fought the entire Reaper armada to a standstill.
And realistically, the Turians have been around in space for longer than humanity, which means they should have had better infastructure then humanity, yet they still had an extraordinarily tough time fighting much, much less reapers with the help of the Krogans.
Palaven was attacked by less Reapers than Earth, Earth and the Systems Alliance in general got the spearhead of the Reaper invasion. The Turians also had the largest military in the galaxy so it's really no surprise tbh
I miss the Mass Effect of old so much! The original trilogy is to this day my favorite game series of all time and I remember the great times I had with it very vividly!
Mass effect was perhaps for me the most amazing adventure space saga that I have ever played. Anyone who has played John Sheppard knows what I'm talking about.
This is one of the best ideas for a TH-cam Channel I've ever seen. Keep up the good work! I'd love to see some from comic books too. Like the Shi'ar for example.
Just a note to your writers: intergalactic war would imply that the milky way was fighting andromeda or something. What the turians experienced was an interstellar war. Still massive, but no where near the same magnitude or required technology for a true intergalactic war
@@willhuey4891 which is what the reapers want you to think. Because blue meant you let yourself be indoctrinated. Red is the only choice to free shepards mind
One theme I adore about the mass effect trilogy is the message that you get out what you put in. Humanity spends its time saving the galaxy, and in return the entire galaxy shows up to save humanity. The shots of the entirety of every civilization in the Milky Way showing up above earth literally brought a tear to my eye.
would love to see more mass effect videos, elder scrolls videos, half life videos, any science fiction movies or books, what about any vids based on asimov books like foundation. gimmie more i love all your stuff so far
Love it! Great job with even describing the events of the games with out telling too much about the decisions made. Also loved you collaberation with Star Wars Explained! I would love to see more from Mass Effect and Star Wars
This channel is insanely good. The narrator for most of the sci-fi series is so clear and concise and really does deserve so much credit for presenting such complex worlds and storylines so well, though the channel as a whole is excellent. Something that might be interesting to go into is how these societies might function on a broader level outside of the lore that has been given to us. For example, what are the social other norms in Turian society or, in W40k, what roles do sexuality and criminality play in such a large and diverse empire, and with the multitude different species? These may seem like abstract things but they all relate, as we are seeing now, to the issues advanced societies face, such as those in the video and those we live in. I think it'd be really interesting to think about how a lot of the political, social and economic issues we experience now might apply to these imaginary worlds. At the end of the day, the way a lot of these games, novels, and films deal with these worlds is limited, purely out of completely human constraints like time. But still, how would things like racism and trade work between different species work in universes like those of Mass Effect and W40K?. Either way, keep doing what you're doing, it's great! Also do some stuff on the Endless Space 2 universe!!! It's so rich in unique and fascinating lore!
Fascinating culture and there is a really interesting dynamic between them and humanity. The shared respect, old wounds and a strange fascinating on both ends.
That was fantastic. I love this angle of the recent history of Mass Effect from one it's major and important and yet understated, players. You did the topic genuine justice. Thank you.
And yet the xenos consider humans "warlike"....meanwhile the citadel counsels destroyed entire worlds to keep people in line and then starts a war with the "warlike" race just because they are new to space.
It's possible, if not probable, that the Reaper Sovereign, was at least partially responsible for both of those events, pulling the strings from the shadows.
After i watched the video about the CIS on the Star Wars Explained channel and understood what this channel was all about I thought to myself "I really hope they have a video about a Mass Effect nation!" So happy to see they did, what a great piece!!!
Im not sure if there are more videos by Templin on Mass Effect, but if there isnt, id be very interezted to see some videos on other species such as Asari and krogans and such
At 7:13 you use the term intergalactic war. This would mean that the war would be fought in more than one galaxy (which wouldn't be the case). The correct term is 'interstellar war'. Just a minor detail that I noticed.
It really astonishes me how many people repeatedly misuse the term "intergalactic" - not just fans, but actual sci fi authors and professional writers from multiple franchises. "Intergalactic" means "between galaxies". Mass Effect only takes place in one galaxy (even ME: Andromeda). The term you're looking for is "galactic" or "interstellar". Otherwise a great video, I always like them.
3:10 I would also think there would be a strong social pressure to support and guide those around you. That if you think someone is going in the wrong direction you make them aware of it or maybe alert a superior if he refuses to listen.
The history of John Carter's Mars (Barsoom) would make for a great video. I love this channel a lot. It's completely encylopedic and that's a good thing.
If you want a problem bombed, call a Turian; if you want a problem talked to death, call an Asari. if you want a new problem, call a Salarian. If you want a problem SOLVED, call a Human. - Commander Shepard, some time in 2185
This was wonderful! I'd love to see your channel tackle Iain Bank's The Culture. They're ridiculously fascinating, though finding enough visual media might be difficult.
5:25 "Military-industrial complex" actually was meant as a negative thing. It refers to the fact that most weapon manufacturers are private companies who have an incentive to encourage war for the sake of selling weapons and many often have a complete monopoly on those weapons.
I never got into Mass Effect, describing it as "Bioware couldn't get a good Star Trek licence deal" most of the time. Thanks for this video, made me rethink the Turians and Mass Effect as a whole. Maybe I'll borrow the games from a friend and give it another chance. Decepticons (IDW universe) or Functionists (IDW universe)
You know you just take it one day at a time. Hustle from shift to shift. Been working hard for this organization. As noted historian Ben Stein used to say I shall do my best. At the age of 43 I look forward to beginning studying something other than video games. Also I'm an Asari woman and not a human man. Thank you and go team. There's a Turian at your friends house.
Amazing video, guys! Also, I may be remembering this wrong, but wasn't Palaven the only planet to not completely fall to the Reapers after being invaded? If so that might have been a nice detail to add. Looking forward for more cool stuff ftom your channel!
Holy shit I may have stumbled upon the greatest youtube channel by sheer accident, keep up the great work guys :). Any chance you could do the Systems Alliance next?
Great video as always. Please do a segment on the Weyland-Yutani corporation rival Seegson Corporation from the game Alien: Isolation please? Thank you. Also Could you consider doing a video on "The Rage" from the Alien versus Predator books that focus on the "Rage War". The "Rage War" involved android generals leading armies of "controlled" Xenomorphs against both the Yautja and Human worlds. "The Rage" itself was made up of a group of humans who had acquired advanced scientific knowledge that allowed them to not only master faster than light travel and more advanced ship design and other technological advances but also gained knowledge of how to control Xenomorphs and weaponized them

At the age of 43 I look forward to beginning studying something other than video games.
Also I'm an Asari woman and not a human man.
Thank you and go team.
There's a Turian at your friends house.
Amazing video, guys! Also, I may be remembering this wrong, but wasn't Palaven the only planet to not completely fall to the Reapers after being invaded? If so that might have been a nice detail to add.
Looking forward for more cool stuff ftom your channel!
Clear, conscience, informative, and subscribed to. Good work.
Who is the narrator, after her recitation of the Fall of Cadia. I love her voice
I loved this! can you please do one on the necron dynasties? thanks!
Holy shit I may have stumbled upon the greatest youtube channel by sheer accident, keep up the great work guys :). Any chance you could do the Systems Alliance next?
if you wanna win a battle bring a krogan
You wanna win a war you need a turian.
But you wanna win all wars to come bring a Shepard
So can i bring david? (Since he is a sheperd)
My gosh these are fun. Did you ask BioWare for the background info?
7:10 "The hierarchy prepared for a full scale intergalactic war".
Which galaxy did the Milky Way go to war with?
Your content is awesome. A video about any of the factions in Dragon Age would be amazing.
This is amazing keep up the great and hard work
Great video as always. Please do a segment on the Weyland-Yutani corporation rival Seegson Corporation from the game Alien: Isolation please? Thank you. Also Could you consider doing a video on "The Rage" from the Alien versus Predator books that focus on the "Rage War". The "Rage War" involved android generals leading armies of "controlled" Xenomorphs against both the Yautja and Human worlds. "The Rage" itself was made up of a group of humans who had acquired advanced scientific knowledge that allowed them to not only master faster than light travel and more advanced ship design and other technological advances but also gained knowledge of how to control Xenomorphs and weaponized them
This is a very cool channel. Great job! :D
You guys should do more mass effect lore stuff.
All this did was remind me how freaking Epic! Mass effects story and world building was. I need to replay those games.
One of my fav race or species in the Mass Effect Galaxy
Now all we need is a video on the Asari and Krogan. And other races if it’s at all possible
Your Krogan wish is granted.
