So, if you don’t romance Tali nor Garrus, they end up together… question is, I suppose, whether this would mean that Tali secretly and internally craves Garrus’ dick when she is being romanced by Shepard
Unfortunately, based on the logic of Halsinposters this would indeed mean Tali enjoyers are cuckolds, because in an alternate universe (even if not encountered in your play through) Tali is fricking Garrus and so that desire is innate to her character
The Council stereotyped them as such after that time they settled a planet outside their space and then the Council decided to claim it anyway and threatened to open fire if they didn't leave within 24 hours.
They were unironically right. >geth kill every quarian that didn't evacuate >game ignores that not every quarian would be a combatant
I'm tired of robots who didn't do nuffin. Games like Wasteland are a breath of fresh air for mocking how every killer robot is actually misunderstood.
I mean, it did imply that the Quarian's were executing anyone who were sympathetic to the Geth. And given that there weren't many of them.. Though that being said, it would have been interesting to find out that a couple thousand Quarian's were allowed to remain but died out or something.
>I mean, it did imply that the Quarian's were executing anyone who were sympathetic to the Geth.
Ask yourself if their whole society was divided to the point some of them tried to defend the geth, why isn't there a single quarian left living with them in Rannoch?
>why isn't there a single quarian left living with them in Rannoch?
Either there were so few of them that they were all killed or they died out after a few generations.
Assuming Legion/fake Legion is telling Shepard the truth (we know he isn't, but let's assume for the sake of argument) about quarian history, the whole of quarian society was split by the geth question, so it would have been basically impossible for all of them to be killed by the anti faction, doubly so given the anti faction ended up losing.
Which leaves the other possiblity you mentioned, which also makes no sense since why the frick would they just die out out of nowhere? Especially considering they had friendly caretakers with them in the form of the geth?
No, at the end of the day the geth wiped out 99.99% of the quarian race and the third game just kind of wants you to forget about that.
>at the end of the day the geth wiped out 99.99% of the quarian race
If that were the case, there wouldn't be any Quarian's by the time ME1 happens. The actual percentage would be roughly 80-85%
I always found it really odd that they're able to sprinkle their dumb Quarian gibberish into normal speech when the entire galaxy communicates with universal translators
>when the entire galaxy communicates with universal translators
You think the universal translator would be programmed to pick up the language of a race that majority of Council Space thought would go extinct sooner or later? If anything the Quarian's are using a bootleg version which is why some words don't parse well
>works perfectly fine with Drell who are ACTUALLY going extinct >works perfectly fine with the Yahg for some reason
And it works on the Andromeda aliens too if you consider that game canon.
Andromeda straight up reveals that it's just a matter of the translator listening to alien speech enough times to automatically update itself.
Chances are those random words they have have too specific of a context summed up in too short of a word for the translator to pick it up as anything but a name. Or at least that's the best I can come up with. Maybe the quarians just don't want those words translated.
>Maybe the quarians just don't want those words translated.
Motherfricker, the sheer amount of times you hear a Quarian say 'keelah se'lai' or 'bosh'tet' would update that sucker so fast
>bosh'tet — curse/insult, likely being relative to "son-of-a-bitch" or "bastard".

Yes, exactly - it's such an unambiguous and easy expletive that your 'actually the context is too complicated to translate' cope doesn't hold any water, just like 'umm they're too endangered to bother fully coding a language for'

Honestly, the only other explanation is that whoever created the universal translator didn't bother programming it to pick up Keelish. Or like one anon said, because Quarian's are just Space Elves
As a species? Completely pathetic technofetishists who loved “not AI” a little too much and then they had AI machine walking around.
The Geth aren’t immediately hostile but the Quarians quickly want to sweep them under the rug, and instead get so BTFO that they’re forced to leave their homeworld lmao.
No sympathy for them. Theyre extremely cute however holy frick I love Tali
ME3 made it so obvious to me that quarians were fricked almost entirely by absolutely awful leadership. >Geth recordings show most of the quarians who stood up for them were civilians and their leaders immediately resorted to lethal force against them. >Quarian civilians as well as the civilian fleet admiral: We just want to live in peace guys, we just want a home, it doesn't even need to be Rannoch, we don't want a war with the geth.

Those guys you meet were serving aboard Admiral Zaal'Koris' ship so they weren't part of the crazy hardcore 'hurr Migrant Fleet stronk robots we war you' faction.
I think ME3 pushes the idea that the Geth were completely innocent too hard. They were a new form of life reacting in self defense, but the actual Morning War described them killing civilians in the literal billions. They weren't just fighting soldiers they were mass slaughtering across entire continents.
The entire Quarian race is on the brink of extinction throughout the series, and the idea of reclaiming Rannoch is basically their one desperate chance in hundreds of years to find their footing in reclaiming a Homeworld that isn't falling upon on a Migrant Ship.
This.
The series did a good job at balancing the scales previously, and I personally think having Gerrel as the Warhawk and Koris as the peacemaker was a master stroke, given how players would view them in light of Tali’s trial, but 3 made it clear the geth were in fact dindus.
It really needed some ambiguity to the “real” version of events, be it from new information or by implying an unreliable narrator.
There’s literally no reason to side against the Geth given the information you’ve got.
>and I personally think having Gerrel as the Warhawk and Koris as the peacemaker was a master stroke
I noticed that ME3 also flipped the Citadel Council on its head; the Turian councillor with his infamous "ah yes, Reapers" dismissal in ME2 being the only one to actually knuckle down and provide actual help to Shepard after shit hits the fan.
>the idea of reclaiming Rannoch is
Firmly established as Quarian nationalist wank. They've been in space 300 goddamn years, so "but if we settled a new planet now it would take ages to adapt" is not an excuse. Settle a planet. Take the hit. They choose to stay in space and obsessing over Rannoch has only ever hindered them.
>it's a planet in Council space >the setting is clear that habitable planets are rare and a huge point of contention among species >they settled a planet in Council space BEFORE asking the Council if they could have it >surprised the Council, who is still sore at them building illegal AIs and being a galactic pest for 200 years up to that point, tell them to frick off

Black person it's literally closer to Rannoch than it is to the Citadel. Reminder that those entries are written in-universe. Chances are the reality is that the quarians merely said "Hey, we're resettling a planet! We're not nomads anymore!" and the Council responded by threatening to kill them all if they didn't give it to them because "Oops, should have told us before you did it, small letter in this law from elsewhere says it's ours now :^)" and later rewrote history as if the quarians had asked permission to justify it.

Damn, Initiative. Damn.
Also someone remind me if there was a krogan ark of if they were allowed to be only in the Nexus.
>Council races decide to start a migration project to another galaxy. >Before you even get there they've already managed to alienate more than half the species onboard, possibly even sentencing them to extinction since that ark got lost too. >And even managed to piss off the krogan so much they splintered off and created their own country and are now on the cusp of actual war. Literally because one accountant had a grudge with them too.
>The Council were a bunch of buttholes that would rather see every new generation of Quarian suffer on the fringes of space because they felt slighted about their forefathers trying to settle somewhere deserted during a time of desperation
Yeah, the way they wrote and presented the Geth, especially in Legions memories, does not line up with the actual history of the conflict. Why didn't Legion show you the scenes of the Geth slaughtering entire Quarian families and civilian populations? To be fair, if the writers did it on purpose as Legion deliberately gaslighting Shepard and intentionally showing him only stuff that made the Geth look sympathetic, that's good writing. But somehow I doubt it, and it's more likely the writers just wanted the player to feel sorry for the Geth and not consider the mass genocide they had carried out and all the implications of it. Since anyone with a functioning brain picks Destroy, anyway, it's pointless to save the Geth regardless as they are ultimately non organics and need to be purged.
>nooo muh heccin geth deathsquads shooting up kindergartens
You don't kill entire populations in traditional warfare. If the quarians actually escalated it to the point the geth took control of their WMDs, they deserved to be on the receiving end of them.
On top of that, generational conflict isn't blind racism when it comes to the Geth.
Any Quarian that decided to initially create and/or destroy Geth before the war is long dead. But the Geth that chose to drive the Quarians to the edge of extinction and wiped out their colonies are probably still around.
Sometimes I wonder what could've been.
Like what if Andromeda didn't look like shit.
What if Andromeda actually had a servable story
What if Andromeda actually got it's Quarian DLC and companion.
Then I remember. Oh boy I can't wait to go through this again with ME4.
The reason why Quarian's weren't in Andromeda was weak as frick. They would have definitely had some on the Nexus solely to get shit ready for their Ark and for the fact that those frickers can make a ship run off just staples, glue and a bit of eezo
I love the fact they actually had all quarians, hanar, elcor, volus, batarians and vorchas in the exact same ark because it reveals that >They didn't think any of those deserved to have their own ark like all the others. >The races that were actually allowed to have an ark were all the council races. >Many, many less of those races' members were in on the project. >None of them were allowed to have any presence or voice in the Nexus.
Damn, Initiative. Damn.
Also someone remind me if there was a krogan ark of if they were allowed to be only in the Nexus.
I hated that we never see the last ark as part of the main story. The setup that the non-council races were given so little thought in the Initiative could have been genuinely interesting if we actually saw them in Andromeda. Hell, we could have seen "lesser" races banding together somewhere new and fighting back in staking their own claims now that the Council races didn't have the Citadel military backing them up.
They kind of do it with the Krogan, but it's basically just Tuchanka 2.0.
>yfw realise that the Quarian's were a bunch of isolationist morons who didn't bother with colony world's for some reason before they created the Geth or the fall of Rannoch
>An interspecies plague develops aboard Keelah Si'yah while in transit due to an installed computer worm masking its presence and the ark's unique operating procedure of having support teams periodically thawing out of cryostasis for maintenance. When malfunctions aboard the ark forcibly defrost some passengers, even the quarians become susceptible - some suits have sustained microfractures during the long centuries of sleep, allowing the Fortinbras Plague to get in undetected. A cure is made against the pathogen although not before casualties quarian or otherwise pile up, allowing the survivors to sleep off the remaining 3 decades of projected travel time before arrival at Andromeda. >Much later, ark Hyperion receives a repeating transmission from the Keelah Si'yah, warning people to stay away. However, the signal's origin, and the ark's location, is unable to be determined at the moment.
I'm talking about damage
it was nice and easy in 1 since every gun can be OP
but in 2 it's fricking miserable
I have no utility, my only "good" ability is stealth camo and even with that maxed out I still need 2-3 shots with the starting sniper.
idk, finished the whole trilogy again as infiltrator a year ago. In me2 used mantis for the most of the game, didnt have any problems. Try unlocking all the sniper rifle upgrades asap maybe?
Are you actually headshotting enemies? I don't remember the Mantis in 2 ever failing to ohko enemies so long as they didn't have armor or barriers or something.
Giving them faces that are essentially identical to humans was a mistake. They should have given them an actual alien appearance or they should have never shown their faces to begin with.
>What's that? How did I earn credits before signing up with you on the Normandy? >I'm the daughter of an Admiral, it's not like I had to sell myself for bus fare
Honestly I think it's a shame we never got to meet Tali's father, it would have been quite interesting to interact with him seeing everything Tali tells us about him.
Females of the species belong to human males
i would saceifice all technology just for having the small chance of surviving and stay with the quarian
So, if you don’t romance Tali nor Garrus, they end up together… question is, I suppose, whether this would mean that Tali secretly and internally craves Garrus’ dick when she is being romanced by Shepard
Unfortunately, based on the logic of Halsinposters this would indeed mean Tali enjoyers are cuckolds, because in an alternate universe (even if not encountered in your play through) Tali is fricking Garrus and so that desire is innate to her character
Sorry guys, Tali is for cucks.
>Sanest BG3 fan posting outside his containment thread
Tali's a monogamist, she's just canonically kind of horny for humans and/or turians going off of her shadow broker data and movie preferences.
Nothing to be ashamed of.

I wonder where the thieving suit rat stereotype came from since every quarian you meet is an innocent cinnamon roll that did nothing wrong.
The Council stereotyped them as such after that time they settled a planet outside their space and then the Council decided to claim it anyway and threatened to open fire if they didn't leave within 24 hours.
Tali stole Turian and Human technology from the Normandy. She should be tried for espionage.

The setup that the non-council races were given so little thought in the Initiative could have been genuinely interesting if we actually saw them in Andromeda. Hell, we could have seen "lesser" races banding together somewhere new and fighting back in staking their own claims now that the Council races didn't have the Citadel military backing them up.
They kind of do it with the Krogan, but it's basically just Tuchanka 2.0.
>yfw realise that the Quarian's were a bunch of isolationist morons who didn't bother with colony world's for some reason before they created the Geth or the fall of Rannoch
You literally visit one of their colonies (outside the Perseus Veil no less) in ME2 you absolute gigamoron.
A science outpost isn't a colony.
>if I pretend it's not a colony I can save face
Nope. Gigamoron. Not to mention that you also didn't read anything in the codex, either.
Their immune systems made it hard to adapt to new planets. The geth wiped out the few colonies they had near Rannoch too.
Quarian immune systems weren't an issue prior to the Fall of Rannoch, they became weak after living aboard the sterile flotilla for years and years.
Tali is actually a latex fetish
Her actual body is pretty meh and her races = space gypsies -> straight out of the airlock
>Her actual body is pretty meh
Blind or gay?
>Her actual body is pretty meh
Best hips and ass in the series gaylord
>An interspecies plague develops aboard Keelah Si'yah while in transit due to an installed computer worm masking its presence and the ark's unique operating procedure of having support teams periodically thawing out of cryostasis for maintenance. When malfunctions aboard the ark forcibly defrost some passengers, even the quarians become susceptible - some suits have sustained microfractures during the long centuries of sleep, allowing the Fortinbras Plague to get in undetected. A cure is made against the pathogen although not before casualties quarian or otherwise pile up, allowing the survivors to sleep off the remaining 3 decades of projected travel time before arrival at Andromeda.
>Much later, ark Hyperion receives a repeating transmission from the Keelah Si'yah, warning people to stay away. However, the signal's origin, and the ark's location, is unable to be determined at the moment.
They definitely had something planned
ALIEN SEXOOOOOO
Treacherous prostitutes that deserve extinction!
Thoughts?
Eh. Aliens too alien for me to get off a lot of the time.
>bestiality
>futa
>making Tali a degenerate prostitute instead of just doing a Quarian OC
>minigames
2/10
woah
I am now interested
Built for interspecies breeding.
Filthy space gypsies and thieves that deserved what they got. I sent the tech-stealing c**t to her death and slept well that night.
The Citadel Council screwed them over and continues to screw them over. Blaming modern Quarians for the Geth is bullshit.
they're alright
Jailbait Tali is the best Tali.
respect her body anon
That's a nice setup for a Source Filmmaker animation.
By this point if someone hasn't made it, it will never be made.
She's 21 in ME1
since this is the ME thread
what the frick do I do to make infiltrator not suck so hard
Embrace the scope sway.
You must be one with the sway.
NEVER play remasteres
I'm talking about damage
it was nice and easy in 1 since every gun can be OP
but in 2 it's fricking miserable
I have no utility, my only "good" ability is stealth camo and even with that maxed out I still need 2-3 shots with the starting sniper.
idk, finished the whole trilogy again as infiltrator a year ago. In me2 used mantis for the most of the game, didnt have any problems. Try unlocking all the sniper rifle upgrades asap maybe?
Are you actually headshotting enemies? I don't remember the Mantis in 2 ever failing to ohko enemies so long as they didn't have armor or barriers or something.
I play on insanity so all the enemies have shield, armor or barriers.
quarians should have their helmets and suits filled with jizz
they should be slimy and reeking and permanently horny under there
male semen is extremely toxic to quarians
Space Gypsies are only good for minor tech jobs and even then you gotta watch them. They might send something back home because of their "pilgrimage".
>Default Male Shepard
>Earthborn
>War Hero
>Vanguard
>Paragon with the occasional Renegade action
>Destroy Ending
for me, it's admiral xen
I believe they are cute
I like to think of Tali as a princess in the first game.
She's daughter of one of the heads of the Admiralty, so yeah, kinda?
Giving them faces that are essentially identical to humans was a mistake. They should have given them an actual alien appearance or they should have never shown their faces to begin with.
I like them but I was disappointed by the way their fleet looks.
gypsy/nomad caravan stuff but in space, shame you can't explode the other ships and meet more interesting suit people.
>What's that? How did I earn credits before signing up with you on the Normandy?
>I'm the daughter of an Admiral, it's not like I had to sell myself for bus fare
>high class lady thrust into a situation with no money or status forced to sell her body for credits
hnng
they are literally a stand in for islamic people with a burka and you didn't notice
Canonically ticklish
Automatic best girl
Canonically into BTC (Big Turian wiener)
Remember to lick her juices off of Garrus’ dick cuck
I think they are very bad photographers, every photo of one has a massive lens flare in it.
they deserve to be carpet nuked for being selfish and moronic
Honestly I think it's a shame we never got to meet Tali's father, it would have been quite interesting to interact with him seeing everything Tali tells us about him.
rape all the quarians
