Forum:Imagine Mass Effect without biotics

I'm asking this because I feel biotics feel out-of-place in a sci-fi universe like Mass Effect. Biotics just feels too fantasy-like, and I also feel that scientists and technicians are the real polar-opposites of mages, not biotics. Scientists and technicians should build and create stuff that could be useful to the heroes, not be reduced to lockpicking like fantasy's rogue, whom in my opinion is literally known for stealth, not lockpicking.

If anything, they could've split the Infiltrator into two stealth-classes, including the Scout, which would replace the Adept, and the Sniper, which would replace the Infiltrator. As for the biotic-classes, the Vanguard would still keep the class-name because Vanguard means "front-liner," and the Vanguard is what it is: A front-liner. However, the Sentinel would become the Medic class, because in my opinion, the Sentinel is more like a medic than a hybrid-class as BioWare would casually call it.

However, if there's no biotics, the asari wouldn't have any way to reproduce babies, because biotics are what allow asari to mate with any species and gender of their respective choosings. There'd also be no Jump Zero BAaT training, and Jack would be just an ordinary convict who happened to commit acts of terrorism, as opposed to a biotic convict.

What do you think? Do you think Mass Effect could do without biotics? What would the Mass Effect franchise be like without biotics, and why?--Eternal Nothingness 22:33, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
