Do people actually believe Tali will be hot?

[Irridium]

Offhand, do you know what the exact wording of why he's down for the week is?

I ask because I went for the missile support option both times and, so, he died. Anyway, the impression I got was that it was a deep wound because he said 'I'm not moving so well, but I can still pull a trigger' implying that it was a bad injury, at least deep into muscle. His combat seals had shut, but a description by Tali says that the seals do nothing for a bloodstream infection.

I'm wondering if the intent was that the wound itself was what laid him up for the week. I don't know how good medi-gel is supposed to be but the guy on (whatever planet Grunt was on) was still bleeding and limping after an application (yes, he was a wuss, but still hurting somewhat, so it's not a perfect flesh-mender)

If you go for the paragon action right before you go for the Geth Colossus, you pull him away and tell him to stay put. Afterwards when you ask Tali about him she says that he will make a recovery, and when you meet him at the migrant fleet, he says he was out for about a week. And both those instances I don't remember him mentioning his wound, all he mentioned was the infection. So I don't think that the wound was that serious.

And I doubt it was the wound, since on the mission where you recruit Thane, you run into a Salarian who is about to die, like in serious pain, bleeding out, and about to die. You give him some medi-gel and he's able to limp away. So Medi-gel is pretty potent.

Wow that picture made me laugh. good times

Well, it's obvious we're not going to see eye to eye with this but I would argue this argument is based more upon subjectivity than anything else. Truth be told though, I fail to see why people are getting so worked up over this. If you don't like her or if you don't think the logic fits (which, again, it works for me) you've got 3 other options on hand!

I don't know if it was mentioned before but Kal'reegar getting shot is being brought up a great deal.

He was shot. Never mind the infection part, he was shot.

 

[Theron Julius]

I agree. Seriously, why is everyone making a big deal out of this? They clearly state that she took immunizations and herbal supplements prior to exposure. Kal' Reeger didn't. Plus I think an open bullet wound in a non-sterilized environment generally would get you a shit ton more sick than just physical contact in a fairly sterilized area.

But he was prepared for it. He was on a top secret mission deep in Geth space, something tells me they would plan for a suit breach.

Not to mention, as I said above, the planet is basically bathed in radiation, which could possibly have killed much of the bacteria that was on the planet.

You have a very good point, but my main point in that post was that it's an open bullet wound. What I'm trying to say is that even for humans an open wound is gonna get you sicker than physical contact. And considering a Quarian's immune system, I'm not all too sure that even most of the bacteria dead would be good enough.

By the way wasn't this originally a conversation about if she would be hot or not?

 

[Wafflestomper99]

She already IS hot.

[Edit: That photo will haunt us.]

I'm with this guy.

ok.... this is what an original quarian concept art was

LOOK IT UP im nearly sure this is the real thing. YOU TELL ME IF SHE IS HOT

I feel kind of like an idiot after having seen that. Accurate or not I somehow never noticed how much like a, I think it's called a Burqa but I can't remember right now, her suit looks like.

I'm not sure if this one applies because I could walk around that damn planet without my helmet on and I didn't have any trouble.

Why couldn't bacteria have evolved to survive in that radiation?

I mean, on Earth, we can see some incredibly rapid (relatively) evolutionary steps taken, if a vital piece of the ecosystem is removed. There's no reason bacteria (that reproduce on a scale humans can barely comprehend) couldn't evolve to use that radiation as a food source or something.

Perhaps. But than again bacteria on one planet could be vastly differant on another. And the Quarians didn't have much of an immune system before the Geth drove them away, so they colonized planets with low amounts of bacteria.

Dont forget that Legion is a GETH. A race of machines that have been (until now) systematically attacking every world populated by organic life forms and showed no desire to communicate. If you talk to any other member of the crew, they are also more than apprehensive of Legion (Joker and James I know for sure, with James suggesting to vent 'it' into space).

If you talk to Legion regularly, he states that only about 10% of the Geth are attacking organics. The other 90% don't attack because they didn't believe in Saren or the Reapers. They also felt that organics should have a right to determine their own survival.

Don't even joke, Tali's hot, she must be! Don't ruin it man!

Seriously though, I think that the evidence suggests that most bipedal sentient lifeforms in Mass Effect 2, if they aren't necessarliy beautiful, have a dignity or aesthetic nuance in their features, so I don't see why the Quarian should be any different. The asari conform to human standards of beauty, the Salarians are like ET but grown up, the Turians are every cool proud warrior race guy ever, the Krogan are built like powerhouses, but still have recognisably humanoid features, the Volus... Well we don't know, but apart from them and the Quarians, every other bipedal species has at least recognisable attributes, or is outrght hot.

Besides, we know she must have a nose, two eyes, a mouth, and a skull, because every majoy species in Mass Effect 2 has at least these defining qualities.

 

[JakBandit2208]

She could be ugly as shit and I'd still love her. It's her personality that matters.

and that ass

I agree lol

Thats not entirely true. There is a large chunk of infections that are caused by direct contact. In hospitals, people who die in surgery are usually killed because of infection from the tools.

When surgery is preformed, doctors try their damn hardest to make sure everything is steralized. And even then bacteria still gets through.

When you get shot with a bullet, the heat kills any bacteria around the wound.

And in the case of Mass Effect, where instead of bullets you have super-heated slugs fired so fast that may be heated by air friction alone, may have the same effect.

edit: always interesting how conversations get off topic, isn't it?

Batarians. They haven't had a recruitable character but they're pretty major players in ME2.

 

[Pingieking]

Being the extreme optimist, I'm simply going to assume that she's hot. Therefore, until proven otherwise by Bioware developers, I hereby declare Tali to be extremely attractive to everyone. She is now in a quantum superposition that is capable of satisfying everyone's expectations of an attractive female.

Man, Bioware just created the best example of Schrodinger's Cat ever (except for the actual Schrodinger's cat).

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)

 

[Venatio]

She's got mammary glands and a slimming form, even if she had a Turians face it wouldnt be that bad. Besides, according to the wiki Quarians and Humans evolved along similair lines.

That and she's sweet. Maybe we will even get to see her without her mask (or any other Quarian) if we keep her alive untill ME3.

...Please dont let this be a Home Imporvement Wilson running gag

 

[Hollock]

it doesn't matter.

the only I can guess that people are making a fuss is that they hooked up with someone else and now

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.

But you're forgetting that the Quarians have always known the motives of the Geth. They have always known that the Geth were fighting for freedom. They probably choose to ignore this as it made it easier to justify killing the Geth.
