When I was recruiting the Krogan, I saw ruthless cannon fodder, then without the genophage I saw potential for a mass army of cannon fodder. Not to mention they seemed more battle hardened/prepared than their Salarian rivals - who apparently are backing me again

Not fully aware of their names - Who is Anderson again?
I've only encountered both species now (during ME3 since not played the others, yet). I encountered the Geth before the Quarians and saw their potential as a powerful synthetic ally since they put up one hell of a fight against me, turns out their fleet was even bigger than the Quarians as well. After meeting the Quarians and having one of them nearly kill me they seemed too arrogant, then there was the clips of them executing Geth. Geth IV seemed a lot more trusting than the Quarians - though he lied twice, but for the good of his 'people'.
The Joker/EDI thing seemed kind of 'cute' if you like, and in a time like that he's as well being happy with her than being left wondering. JAHO people. Though that would be some strange intercourse unless she got a more humanistic appearance/texture.

Liara seems like an interesting character, never dated a smurf before, from some angles she does have a certain appeal albeit she's blue and 108 yrs old. Oh lord! I'm a mega toy-boy

Damn and here I thought kicking their [censored] and sparing them for a little cooperation was a good idea

Tali didn't hold much of an appeal to me, I didn't like how she was hidden behind a mask and all I could see was her piercing white eyes. She would have reminded me too much of Barla Von - ohhh that sniffing! That cursed sniffing
