Do people actually believe Tali will be hot?

[Theron Julius]

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?

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.

Yes, I suppose I sort of rushed into that statement without checking if I was right. I agree with you on that one.

Hell, this entire argument started because some people brought up the "One kiss could put me in the hospital" phrase. I will concede that you guys have some very good points, but I have to say that she was prepared, it wasn't an open environment, and that she still got sick. The most important part of that is "She was prepared". In her own words "... I've minimized the risks. But I'm still nervous.".

I am like them is the picture. It have am could be to make laugh.
But yeah, I'm hoping that she doesn't look like Ashley Williams. Oh god I'm so glad I killed Williams off.

I think the important part is that the deed is done, now we have to worry about getting her safely into Mass Effect 3. All other topics are pointless.

And yeah, she's got a great romance sub-plot. It's heartwarming and hilarious. Let's stop worrying about plot holes!

It will be interesting to the backlash. In two to four years.

I'll kill Liara if it comes to that. Hell, I'll kill her anyway; I only took her into my bunk for the achievement.
I was always thinking of Tali.

That face + Tali's voice = epic win.

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.

Yes, that is true, they were prepared.

Maybe if they went deeper on how she and shepard prepared instead of tossing us a "she took lots of medicine" escuse it would be a bit easier to swallow.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but yes i do think Tali is hot. Ask yourself these simple question. Do you think Shepard would have smiled like that if she was ugly, and do you think he would have let her kiss him if she was ugly. Shepard isn't so deep and nice if u think about it. so im gona go with yes

Oi! You're all forgetting 3 things...

1.

Spoiler

Legion is a fanboy who idolizes Shepard, and Tali idolizes Shepard (to a romantic degree), so when ME3 comes around, both factions will have ambassadors too gagga for Shepard to continue their personal war.

2. ME2 states through several characters that, "If we [Quarians] could die from a simple infection we'd all be dead by now." Tali, 1st romantic talk.

3. Go watch Tali's romance scene again, guys and gals. Shepard's expression when he first takes off Tali's visor/helmet is one of subtle surprise just before it easees into an "Awww yeeaaah" smirk. We don't really need to see her face to know she's attractive. Shepard's face says it all.

P.S. Bioware is my favorite now, in part thanks to their portrayal (and LI possibility) of Tali

{EDIT: Donttazemehbro beat me to it...damn it.}

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

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.

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

Good point.

Then again: mouth, eyes, I think they had a nose, all arranged in an utterly standard human configuration. In the ME universe they didn't experiment with predator okacement of the eyes, or a variant on a shark head design. Every species (except Hanar, the only exception I can remember) have features arranged in humanoid fashion (even the good gorram rachni in ME1 had eyes above mouth with a weird nostril type thing between the two.)

Well said friend, well said. I agree, and "Awww yeeaaahhh" is exactly right.

 

[Jark212]

She's super hot! But then again I'm into that kind of stuff...

Spoiler: If an option in real life

 

[thiosk]

They say beauty is only skin deep.

But Tali's ladyparts probably go in at least 8 inches.

 

[Rahnzan]

...You can see what she looks like through the glass. How is this a hard one? At worst she's got a large nose and slanty eyes and neither of those are bad features. I cant even remember the last game that had someone ugly in a game being something other than comic relief or the bad guy, let alone a woman.

You're forgetting that female Shepard is perfectly willing to have sex with Garrus, despite being completley unattractive to humans. What's to say that male Shepard would have a problem with an ugly (from our perspective) female alien?

...You can see what she looks like through the glass. How is this a hard one?

Nearly every Quarian looks the same through the visors. It hides most of their facial details.

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!

 

[Zannah]

Who needs Tali, when you can make out with Garrus? Couldn't have done the suicide mission without him - at least not that elegant.

 

[Cryofthewolf]

Personally I don't care what she looks like. You know a love interest is good when you can like them for their personality alone.

You sir, are my hero.
