    Both a warrior clan based culture. Both bred for war and battle. Both have weird head plate. I am seriously on the fence here but I have to go with Krogans. I really don't think the Kilngons will stay on their hoe planet if they ever bomb themselves to shits.  
     

     Sorry Worf, but this guys wins.

    @Abyssfull: @fearthephins: The Ironic thing is that Michael Dorn does the voice work for one of the Krogan characters in Mass Effect 2. If you don't know who Michael Dorn is then he is the guy who played Worf.

    That's great I didn't know that, you have to love Bioware for things like that. There's no way that wasn't a completey intentional choice. Since Krogans  clearly pay homage to Klingons.

    Ohh Yeah good point. The ugly, green plated Krogan who you can headbutt. Even when I'm going paragon, I can never pass down the chance to headbutt that creepy bug eyed (it's like his eyes are pitch black) mo'fucker ^________^

    I'm definitely on the fence.  The whole reason I liked Wrex and the Krogans is because they're so much like Klingons. 
     
    I may have to go with Klingons because they were probably the inspiration for the Krogans.  That and I'm SURE that Klingon chicks are hotter than Krogan chicks.

    Dude, Krogans were getting so out of hand, that they had to create genophage to control their numbers. Without that they would be worshipping their Krogan overlords right now.

    @melcene:  Ha-ha, love that male-female pic. 
     
    Come on, the answer is Krogans.  Hell, the Klingons were apparently embarrassed by their brow ridges for a generation, but Krogans?  They're all ridges baby and they love it rough!

     Krogans are great but a little too close to the Klingons. Bioware even went and got Michael Dorn to voice one.

    Krogans. Definitely. Even with their comparatively short exposure, I feel that the Krogan culture has been dealt with more personality, if that makes any sense. Klingons had a good start, albeit a rough one, but ever since, (i.e. the more they expand on them), things have been going downwards...

    I don't find Klingons intimidating at all. You lock me in a room with Grunt or Wrex for a one on one fight and there is a pretty good chance I will be pissing my pants. Krogans win for sure.

    It didn't take a genophage to stop the Klingons from rampaging the galaxy.

    Nitpick: Krogan in plural is Krogan.
    Also: Krogan > Klingons.

    Klingons are just huns in space with some shit on their forehead. On the other hand, many a famous actor has embarrassed themselves by dressing like a Klingon for the movies. I'd like to see you get Christopher Plummer voicing a damn turtle monster. Not gonna happen.

    They also had Marina Sirtis do the voice work for Matriarch Benezia in the first Mass Effect.

    Well the Klingon would have to get through a Krogan's shield first in order to damage him, so I'd say Krogan has the advantage.  Now, a Klingon with a flaming "Bat'leth" (had to look that up) might be another story..

    I personally don't believe you can truly be 'badass' when you are simply based on something that already exists.
                     

    Sorry  Kojima

    Klingon are one of the most popular races in media history with the created Klingon language being the most popular of all fictional languages...yes, more popular than Elvish. They have developed greatly over the 50-60 years they have existed, and have become hugely military-like in appearance and personality.

    If you wanted to create a race for your Sci-Fi based game...where would you look for inspiration?

    P.S: You are not a real badass without getting it on with the lady's, Worf did just that and with women of multiple races not just his own.
