The quote you quoted was a joke, and you having a kid should mean you understand why dead children would be a good thing for setting the tone of a mission.  I'm not actually asking to kill children, I just think it would be an effective way to make the player feel emotions about the mission.  I would kill to avenge a dead child any day of the week, as I think most parents would, at least the violent video game playing ones. 

Wouldn't you be furious at the sight of a dead child?  I would, and it would immediately emotionally engage me in the mission I was playing.  I don't want dead children cuz I'm sadistic or sick, (although I may be a little of both, but in this case it is irrelevant) I want it because it would make me feel for the people I was saving.  It would make me want to fight, not just able to.

I'm not furious, primarily.  I'm sickened both in my heart and my gut.  The idea of something helpless, uncomprehending, being violated and destroyed tears me up inside.  I'm still fretting about that e-mail you get from the Horizon survivor about the missing children (because I can't f-ing save them).

There are plenty of other motivations that would fire me up without making me want to turn away in horror and disgust.

They seem standard, too, since volus have them (Tali mentions hacking that one racist volus).

There has to be significant scrubbing, however.  Seeing as for air-breathing animals, the main olfactory system detects volatile chemicals, and the accessory olfactory system detects fluid-phase chemicals.  And foreign anything seems to be bad for Tali.  Especially "chemicals".

I'm guessing it's actually just a smell simulator.  It detects a smell on the outside, and then reproduces it on the inside.  Because yeah, almost passing the smell-producing molecules through the suit would kinda defeat the purpose.

She is not happy. It's needlessly cruel to hand Veetor over anyway.

It is pretty gratuitous.  And the result is pretty horrifying, too.

I think it's a good idea, you see dead adults and you think "Oh, that sucks, they're dead..." you see dead children and you think "Those sick bastards! They killed children! Who does that!? They couldn't even defend themselves!"

Which kind of brings us back to the start: she can't really smell.

I mean, it's like her ability to feel.  Yes, she can technically feel things through the suit (or with the help of nerve-stimulators), but it's not what we would consider "touch".

Again, I would have thought that just 3 years ago.  Having a kid messed me up in my head somewhere because I would probably just race through that so I didn't have to look at/think about it.

I'd rather not see dead children, primarily because of the Media-Backlash.  I would rather Bioware saved up there "media credits" and gave me some awesome Tali-on-Shepard action.

Because I'm sure bringing an active geth aboard the Flotilla will really help Tali's case. Image IPB

But without horror and disgust it wouldn't be a war.  A war for the survival of all life in the galaxy. I don't think they'd do it but it would motivate me.  honestly I've yet to see a video game that semi-accurately portrays the horrors of war.  I don't want another stagnant experience, i want to feel like all hell has broken loose.  I've never seen that done in a video game.  Saving Private Ryan gave me that feeling, but that was it.

The circumstances does allow for one of the games best renegade interrupts.

Horror and disgust can be generated in different less-offensive ways.  Look, the movie you just cited didn't have kids in it at all.
