-If a person focused on psionic telepathics as their sole form of communication for many years, how good would they get at it? Could they get good enough that it's almost like speaking normally is to the averge person?
-HOW THE HELL DO NOVAKIDS EVEN WORK? Seriously, this needs to be addressed. Are they the same nonsense as in Starbound's universe? (Superheated plasma/fusion/whatever clouds bound by some sort of forcefield somehow generated by the brand and oh yeah they can somehow locomote and think) or is there a more... sensible explaination for them? Also how do they communicate? Are they all able to do telepathy pretty well or do they somehow speak normally with... vocal cord shaped something?
-(This may have been addressed already but I don't recall and the search in this forum is awkward at times) How do translator devices work and do they exist, or is there a general-language? If there's a general galactic language or whatever, do Avali have trouble pronouncing the more guttural sounds like they do in lore if I recall correctly, or can they speak fine?
-Psychics have a tendency to use their skills as second nature, especially due to their long training time, and the natural connection to their abilities.. So, yes.
-I've been thinking about how I could completely change up their physiology but keep their visual appearance (besides the whole "I glow in the dark!" thing). I'll probably get that out soon. Probably.
-No, I've never addressed it before. But I did think of the increased depth from having a common language, so that characters could also use their native languages whenever it's important. And for the most part, since languages are based around what sounds a species can produce, all other species have, at the very least, some trouble pronouncing non-native languages, but the Common language would try to be distinct in it's sounds so that species who are impaired in a sound would still be capable of some pronouncement without confusion with other sounds.
Sorry about the long wait times, I've been playing the original Mass Effect.
