Just started playing Mass Effect. Wasn't sure I would like it. Thought it would be more of a shooter. But it turned out to be more like the Elder Scrolls world than one would think. Instead of having "magic", people in the ME universe have "powers". Instead of summoning an atronach, you summon a combat drone. Both universes have flame, frost, and lightning spells/powers. Ditto with telekinesis.

This got me to thinking, which race in ME corresponds to which race in ES? Here are my suggestions.

Turian - Red Guard
Krogan - Orc
Asari - High Elf
Quarian - Dark Elf
Salarian - Wood Elf
Volus - Imperial
Human - Breton
