Must go back to Tali and Shep after reapers... I was really liking the first time we actually had something going on about it ;(
Problem with that discussion, there's only one right answer. Chilling on a beachfront house in Rannoch after curing Tali's immune system. Just chillaxing and living the life

Considering that armor fell apart to .50 cal bmg rounds it wouldn't help much. That armor wouldn't help vs some custumized Elemental Power armor from Battletech (Mechwarrior for those who only know the pc games).

Hey, now she can catch those pesky rockets in mid-flight. Plus she has that awesome power where she can catch other's ammo and launch it back at the frag grenade style. And that thing Vikus did to the gang-boss guy, where he melted his brain after impaling it with the electro-melty thing.
Just wait.
In 3 years, the mothership will return and all the Prawns will assault Earth.
And we'll all be shouting "DAMN YOU WILKUS!"

Sergio, I went and looked up Chirality... I dont quite understand how it would play into why it would influence anything... All I got from it is it is an unmirrorable molecuel for things such as hands and feet. Wouldnt this be the same in Quarians too or has Bioware stated otherwise?

Chirality as it pertains here refers to protiens. Amino acids (the building blocks of protiens) could potentially have a physical arrangement of its component atoms mirrored to what we have here: "Dextro", or "right-handed", as opposed to what we have on Earth, "Levo" or left-handed.
Dextro protiens are virtually unheard of in real-life, likely because any dextro-baesd proto-lifeforms were outpopulated early on by levo-based proto-lifeforms.
It would seem that on Rannoch and Palaven, the Dextro proto-life prevailed, as Quarians and Turians are dextro-based.

Actually the mixing of genetic material has nothing to do with chiral amino acids. I can't remember if they are chiral or not, but the difference in nucleic acids would be the reason for not being able to impregnate an alien. Chiral amino acids would cause later problems.sergio71785 wrote...

Quarians/turians have dextro amino acid chirality. Amino acids are just a type of molecule. Because they "face" a different direction, they can't "connect" to amino acids of opposite chirality. That's why it's biologically impossible to mix genetic material of opposite chirality.

I'd rather squash it with a Behemoth or an Atlas...

Given the amount of effort put into Tali from ME1 to ME2, I would be surprized to NOT see her again in ME3. Her character, particularly in ME2, was probably the most fleshed out when you run from ME1 to ME2.
Afterall, she is the ONLY character from ME1 to play a substantial role in ME2.
I daresay that ya'll are all a-feared about nothin.
Alright, I suppose this does make sense to me now... I'm curious as to how it would harm a Quarian for example to eat something such as an Amino acid... If they had stomache acid im sure it wouldnt care what form of protien was dropped in it would still process it. It seems like it would just been like a human eating cardboard... They gain nothing and nothing happens to it except for a... painful pass through of the digestive track.MadCat221 wrote...

I agree, I don't think we really need to worry about Tali dying.sergio71785 wrote...
Perhaps we should change the title for 5.0.
Maybe to just "Tali support thread" or something.

-Earthborn Shepard-
Tali: Hey Shepard, can I ask you something?
Shepard: Of course Tali
Tali: Since our first time together... I noticed you have an unusual scar between your ribs on your left side. How did you get that? It looks like something major hit you.
*Shepard looks at Tali, smiles warmly, and sighs*
Shepard: It was caused by a crappy, antique Earth pistol.
Tali: What? But, how...
Shepard: When I was 15, I got shot by a member from a rival gang; I got too close to their turf. I ran to some abandoned garage and had to remove the bullet myself, with my knife. I did a sloppy job and never received proper medical attention. So it never healed right.
Tali: That's... I'm sorry, Shepard...
*Tali wrapped her arms around him, and held him tightly. She was just an eight year old girl--relatively ignorant of the horrors out in the galaxy--when this had happened; when Shepard sat by himself in the dark, digging at his own flesh*
