They better get the Turian makeup good at the very least

Yeah this show's basically gonna live or die on how good the alien effects are; what they do practical, what they do CGI and how good the CGI is, etc.

Yeah and it woild suck if they only have a handful of scenes with aliens and mostly humans. Especially since half your squad team are not human in the games.

What about Krogan and Salarians? That'll be challenging if not impossible

u/Own-Royal103 Jun 23 '25

They’re gonna need to get people in Mocap suits for those, the qurians on the other hand should be easy they can probably just get real actors and actresses in those rather than Mocap

Which means that Wrex, Grunt, and Mordin would be minimized as much as possible. CGI characters are expensive on a per-shot basis.

Live Action Mass Effect is and has always been an outright terrible idea. The technology and budgets just do not support it, and will be a waste of effort for everyone involved.

I don't think it's a good idea either. I'm not convinced this'll even happen

Asari and Quarians should be very easy to get done well, but it’s get right or die for Turians, Krogan and Salarians.

I’ve seen very good Turian cosplays on here before, so that’s possible practically. But Krogan and Salarians are gonna be the issue here

The Elites from the Halo show looked kinda like Krogans. They could do something similar to them, but Salarians I got absolutely no clue.

if they make turians, krogan etc CG i will riot. the mass effect aliens are all (mostly) practical fx ready for the most part.

would love to see practical FX inline with The Orville honestly, though i have my doubts.

i would also personally prefer shepard to be female, but who knows if that'll happen either lol.
