The human look is why I like that art in particular. Too many others get a little too happy with the exotic alien thing, and it loses the appeal. The Quarians could look very much like humans, with the main differences being that they have three fingers, two toes, a thinner upper body than lower, and their calves sit farther back than any other part of their body (possibly why they need all the supports there).

The ears are at least different, according to ascension.

And just as interestingly, nothing else seems different enough for the Cerberus agent viewing the quarian to comment on.

He does mention that the prisoner has grey fungal growths all over his body, from which it seems reasonable to conclude that Quarian skin is not grey, otherwise why mention the contrast?

I was reading an interview with Karp-whatever author.  He stated something along the lines of: that he had to tred carefully, in his quarian descriptions, so as not to limit their choices...

Not that I can find that interview now...

Which is the single worst ****ing line of descriptive language in the history of human communication.

It sure would be funny if, when Tali takes her mask off, we only get a pair of glowing eyes hidden in dark shadow.  Jawa style.

Of course, then my Shepard would take down her hood... and... HHNNGG!!!

Have you read Retribution yet?

I have not.  New revelations?

TIM is a complete and utter sadist. What happened to David? I'm convinced he not only knew about it, he enjoyed watching it happen.

I'd love to see the guidelines the writer was given on what he could reveal about quarians.  It had to be something like: "We have no detail done yet, and we don't want anything ruled out, they have eyes, don't say anything more." <_<

"We know whats behind the mask"

I know they do now, but I have no idea on dates as far as interviews and book releases are concerned.  If that was said before the book was written, just replace "we have no detail done," with "we don't want anything revealed yet."

Oho!  This would seem to suggest that they don't actually have a picture yet.  Oh, BW, if you must lie, do so more effectively!

Well, you would hope by now that they would have an idea now.  Mass Effects been around for ten years...

Her head, slightly bent forward looking up, eyes closed as the hood is lowered to her shoulders.  Then she slowly opens her eyes, staring into Shepard's, and a thin smile crosses her lips?  Yes please

Being told things like this is one of the reasons I broke down and bought Ascension.  It still didn't show TIM as the baby-eating monster everyone painted him as.  He's a villain for sure, but he keeps everything just at arms length and almost mockingly ambiguous.  I can respect that in a bad guy.

I really hope we can kill TIM in Mass Effect 3. The **** Grayson had to go through pretty horrifying.

And the way TIM did it... my god... what that necessary!?

Everything Cerberus ever did that he could deny? Bull****. He knew. And he condoned it. EVERYTHING. Hilo. David. Jack. EVERYTHING. I dont' ever want to hear anyone say he was free of responsibility because he was ignorant. I assure you, he knew. And he didn't care, one damn bit.

Yeah, when you factor in Ascension, TIM is a much more three-dimensional villain, as Saren was. In the game alone, he just seems like an a-hole.

As usual, I'll stick some stolen dialogue here:

"What?  Say something!  Or am I so beautiful you have no words left?"

Not this time.

It's pretty damn blatant this time around, Buddha. If you come out of it thinking TIM is in any way not a monster, I'm sorry, but you're either crazy or stupid.

Hell yeah.

I'm holding Tali to that Grenade. Cerberus is getting blown the hell up.

I'll have to read it, I guess.

Anyway, I'm well aware TIM is scum.  The eezo explosions are enough for me on that score, given that the victims there are unborn children.  I'm just commenting that I do like how he isn't always twirling his mustache and cackling with evil glee as he ties women to railroad tracks.

Gloating over a man right before you began some horrifying experiment sort of wasn't very nice.

And what they did to his mouth... and how they made him still...

TIM is a sadist. Sorry. At this point, it's a cold hard fact.

Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised at this point.

Right. With that. I'm out.



Keep it Tali guys.
