It has not been the best of days in the life of your ol' husk pal. I need a Tali hug HARDCORE. Will someone help an (extremely white) brother out?

Just pretend you're a tiny Geth.

Its funny how Quarians/Tali hate Geth but have such endearments to their machines. Like Chittika for example.

Do you think you can have a tiny version of the Oculus thing as a prosthetic eye? Think about it! Laser beams!

That would be so goddamned awesome. I've always wanted to get a custom prosthesis made, but they're like $1500 a piece.

Could always just rock the eyepatch... that can be very sexy.

That's it. Screw the Air Force.

I'm joining the Marine Corps.

Oorah.

Probably the branch I'll end up joining. Them or the army.

Here's to us Nixon, the gleeful idiots who look to the rifle for a better life, knowing we're going to be sorely dissapointed.

Indeed. Youth is wasted on the young and all that bullsh!t.

Remember to yell "SCOPED, AND, DROPPED" at random people you shoot at just to confuse the living crap out of them.

Funny.

I plan on being a sniper.

Thoughts on Tali in ME2:

For one thing, she lost the idealistic and more youthful view of adventure that she had in ME1. Having already completed the pilgrimage and seen the galaxy, there's very little of that idealism left. I noticed that Tali became more cynical and even a little pessimistic. If she ever had, she no longer truly trusts the Admiralty Board, nor their judgments. It seems that being commanded by them on missions that met so much carnage and death soured her relationship with them - not to mention the ultimate betrayal of being used as a chess piece for their political agendas.



As people have mentioned, she's less sarcastic and snarky, I think. I can't say for certain as I haven't played ME1 in a while, but I think they're right. She's a bit more bitter and possibly has less patience for humor. Meanwhile, interestingly, Garrus has become a more of a jokester. Garrus has become more outgoing, whereas Tali has become little more reclusive.

Damn Kikai, that's pretty, uh, womanly. Respect.

Reminds me of when I had my appendix removed. Before surgery they gave me morphine, a **** load. I was hitting on this hot nurse the whole time. After the surgery, the surgeon told me I should lay in bed for a day or two. At first I was alright with that, but then he said I'd have to **** and ****** in freaking bowl if I had to go. Told him to **** off and walked my ass with my IV to the bathroom. Hurt like hell, but I felt like a total bad ass. 

Oh hell no, man screw bed-pans. Just make sure I can drag my goddamned IV stand with me and get out of my way.

The only thing I'll use a bed-pan for is barfing in.

I feel like I missed a hell of a conversation here.

This is my first character design, ever. She's also missing an eye.

I got some inspiration for the outfit from Tali... actually...

Here's also the "Parallels between Miranda and Tali" post in case you've missed it:



I found a lot of parallels between Miranda's father and Tali's father. They were both rather controlling of their daughters. In some way, I think that they felt like their daughter was a trophy or something to be presented to other people. Both fathers wanted their daughters a specific way. Tali was supposed to be the epitome of the Quarian people - a servant to the Fleet with the best engineering skills possible. Tali was put through the most rigorous military and engineering training in the Quarian Fleet. Considering he is an important Admiral, Rael probably thought his image warranted nothing less.



Miranda was supposed to be a "perfect woman."



It's not the same, but Miranda and Tali both reacted in similar ways to their upbringing. They ended up spending their lives in service to other people. In their romances, they are hesitant and worry about the effect the romance will have on the suicide mission. Because they keep thinking about other people or other motives besides their own happiness.



Both fathers never really show they cared. Rael did care, but he never indicated so until it was too late. They were never shown love by their fathers - Miranda's father because he cared more about his empire - and Rael because he cared more about politics.



Therefore, both women had to rely on others as "family." Cerberus became Miranda's family. The Fleet was Tali's family. When you have such a large amount of obligations as Cerberus or the Fleet would entail, that is going to affect you. That is a heavy burden on you. What resulted is that Miranda and Tali both had lives dedicated to other people. They almost never do things for themselves. It's always the projects, it's always the fleet, it's always the suicide mission. Their romances are really about them doing something for themselves for once, to treat themselves. To show them that they are not tools, but real people. That it is not selfish to want to be happy.



I even saw parallels in their loyalty missions. Miranda and Tali both had people who they thought they could trust. Miranda had Nikhet. Tali had the Fleet/Rael. In their loyalty missions, they first go through denial. They couldn't have done this. They couldn't have betrayed me. It would be counter to everything they had known. But no. They were both used for someone's elses' motives. Nikhet wanted the money that Miranda's father had to offer.



The Admiralty Board used Tali, someone who was supposed to be a well respected member of the Fleet, for their own political agendas.



So both Miranda and Tali were tossed under the bus by people who were supposed to be trustworthy - really - among the only people they thought they could trust.



At the end of their loyalty missions, they are willing to forsake their own happiness, again - for other people. Miranda is willing to never get the chance to speak to her sister, so that her sister is safe. Tali is willing to be exiled and her reputation destroyed so that the horrible nature of the experiments is never let out, so the safety of the Fleet and her father's image is not compromised.



I'm surprised many people do not pick up on these similarities. Miranda and Tali are similar in many regards. They are workaholics who have dedicated their lives to other people. They are both strong women who are geniuses among their races. And their fathers shaped who they are.



I will also add that the factions that Tali and Miranda are affiliated with are pretty much demonized by the galaxy. Cerberus is known as a terrorist organization. The Quarians are stigmatized as thieves, beggars, and scum. Yet they were tireless defenders of their affiliations - and both were strong enough to tell their faction to go to hell when they feel betrayed.



So I think more than anyone else, Tali is most like Miranda and vice versa.



Jack is hedonist to the extreme. She's always been doing things for herself. She pretty much reacted opposite to how Tali and Miranda reacted to how they were brought up - Jack lashed out, rebelled, and became an unruly societal deviant moving from one pleasure to the next. Jack really virtually only cares about herself unless you do her romance. Jack's romance is about Jack starting to care about other people. It's the opposite to Miranda and Tali (whose romances are more like starting to care about themselves).



Perhaps that is why Miranda and Jack are so much aligned against each other in game - they are like opposites of each other.

Yeah, I'm a man damnit, and I'll do my mandatory naturely deeds like one. 

The whole thing was like a comedy though. They where running me around the hospital getting scans and what not. What's funny is that when they have you drugged up, you tend to say exactly what's on your mind.

Hot Nurse: Alright, you're all set up for the night. Need anything else?

Me: ...You're hot.

Hot Nurse: *Laughs* Uh, thanks?

Me: ...No...Really, your ****ing beautiful.
