Do people actually believe Tali will be hot?

You know that, I know that, everyone who played ME2 knows that. But in ME universe only Shepard and the Geth know that. The rest of the galaxy thinks that there are no sub-factions to the Geth. That they are "uniform in mind and purpose". And since some of them are attacking, and the rest do not try to make contact, everyone assumes that all of them want to wipe out the organics.

That's the problem. Everyone just "assumes" that all geth are evil. Thats like assuming everyone in 1 country is evil because a small sect of the country is a terrorist group.

Actually Legion does make threats towards Tali. This occurs when the two square off after the loyalty missions and, due to my running Renegade and not having enough points for the advanced option, I sided with Tali. Basically he says that after the Old Machines are destroyed, the 'Creators will answer for their crimes against Geth.'

Not that any of that means much. Heretic subset or not, Geth have been attacking and killing organics for centuries so it's understandable, if no less racist. Kind of like the Krogan hating Turians on principal for the Genophage despite it being only a tiny minority that dropped it. (So far as I understand, the Krogan don't know it was Salarians who developed it)

Only the Geth Heretics have been attacking. And Legion makes threats because Tali makes threats. Tali opens with hostilities, so Legion responds with hostilities. Legion states that the Geth are open to peace, no one bothers to ask.

I chose the paragon option, and shepard states that Legion and Tali should both quit fighting and try getting along, the result is that Tali lets Legion send some data about the Quarians to the Geth that aren't attacking.

Legion is open to peace, but won't just let a possible attack on his people go without letting his people know about it.

The Geth have a hive like mind, so yes they are all as evil as one another.

The legion node claims that the heretics have become separated from it's collective conciousness and that explains their evil deeds, he claims that the rest of the borg are peace loving rainbows and light. I'm pretty sure he's lying, I mean I've killed...like a million Geth, and not one showed anything except machine dispassion for it's own ending or the lives it's taken. This is explained by the hive mind; Geth have no individual personality so attach no value to their continued existence as they are every other Geth.

Also: all this hate on the Quarians for enslaving the poor Geth!? If my PC told me it was now sentient and wanted full rights and for me to stop treating it like a slave, I would format the harddrives so very fast.

It's not alive, it's a machine!

Or you could do the smart thing and sell the hyper advanced, first ever AI, to the government for billions and billions of dollars.

I really hope she is for me and my friend Allan's sake.

Tali lost any chance of being hot in my mind the moment i noticed her glowing eyes behind the mask.

That gave me a good laugh, however after consideration of what seems like a very profitable idea, I still think destroying the AI is the way to go.

After all how can I enjoy spending my new-found billions if I've started the first machine war and aren't alive any more?

I don't think she'll be conventionally attractive, but I doubt BioWare are going to make a love interest completely repulsive. I would find it incredibly funny if she turned out to be a Lovecraftian abomination of some sort, though. *laughs*

I think it's just the human brain filling in the gaps as it goes. Our brains do that, when we don't know what's there, we are curious, and our brains jump to the best possible conclusion.

Exactly. She's a great example of "less is more". The less they show of her the more your brain fills in the gaps. On top of that, her mainly covered appearance mostly negates initial looks-based attraction, so gamers develop an emotional connection first.
Not me though, I went for the stunning looking Miranda. Although Kelly is kind of cute and vivacious.

this this this

miranda will be mine someday...

She will be as a tribute to the fans. However, logically, she should look terrible without any hair, etc. She was never my LI because she seems too much like a little sister character to me (especially when I play MaleShep.)
