He's got a.... POINT!

Tali is sad, because there is no new progress!

Batarians ARE generally hated. Stereotyped for their paranoid government and the large bands of mercenary and the likes.

I personally think they have a thing against the Volus. Despite being in the same condition of living within a suit, the Volus plays off as this rude, arrogant, little nymphos.

Oh, exclude THE BIOTIC GOD. He transcends them.

The volus seem to be the butt-monkeys of the galaxy.
It's just. . .so damn hard to take any of them seriously.

I think the volus were on the wrong end of a flanderization on the part of Bioware.  In ME1, the ones we saw really weren't that bad, but in ME2, if they needed a racist or a scumbag, it was 'lets use a volus.'  For that reason alone, I don't think volus are universally as bad as they seem.  And in general, I don't see the quarians interacting with them enough to really make judgements.

The Pilgrimage probably breaks a lot of quarians.

I wouldn't say it 'breaks' them, but it probably does shake their idealistic natures a little.
The extent of the impact would change from person to person.

Ahem...

Xen.

Sorry...

But yeah... I bet it's really a wake up call to many quarians...

Just look at how downtrodden Lia was...

We see a few of them on our journey ourselves.

Lia, Slave girl quarian, and whats his name selling salvage in omega.


plus Tali wouldn't be in the place she's in now without Shepards help. Remeber she wasn't do too well when we meet up with her. She was shot and in an ambush.

Or how screwed by the Free Market SGQ is.

Talking about Volus make me remember Stanley... I admire him standing on such a criticized race.

HA!

I find your use of the term "Free Market" when talking about a slave strangely humorous.

But yeah. I feel bad for her too...

I don't think the quarians have an ill view towards most of the galaxy, they seem to fully blame their situation completely on themselves from what I can tell.  They seem to just accept their fate, live in their estranged relationship with the other races, and look forward to getting back to normal later.  I could see them making tiny assumptions about each race (humans being scary effective, turians being millitaristic,) but I don't see that differing much between races.

Well, humanity has a violent reputation among most of the races as well as being greedy.
Though I think Shepard changed a lot of that, showing the other races that what we've been asking for isn't really all that unfair as we apparently kick all kinds of ass.

I actually think its less than it would seem.  Tali's remarks in ME1 say that few don't return as it is, and even among those, its unclear how many just decide to stay around the galaxy as opposed to have something bad happen to them.  Her comments also lead me to believe that a lot take the easy way out and just bring back fuel or food.  Our view gets twisted a little when we see that Kenn has got himself stuck, and Lia and ME1 Tali taking the hard way around.

It was only apparent in ME2, and only by few examples, Kor Tun being the most well-known. I wouldn't consider such a small sample size to be an accurate judge for any speculated characterestic.

Right.  The Volus Banker in ME1 was cool enough.  Just a business man... etc...

[Water Dumple]

The Volus are badass. They're like really short Quarians, except their suits are rounded out because of the ridiculous amounts of money stashed inside from their epic business deals.

Talk to the Used Ship Salesman on the Citadel, he has some hilarious lines if you keep speaking to him. "I think you'll want a large shuttle with seating for many bulbous children!"

Volus = Ferngi

The batarian piratcy and Slave trade is what gets them hated so much. It's pretty mcuh a government sponsored thing.

It's  odd,  because  if  this  is  true.  Than  Tali's  pilgrimage  gave  her  a  optimistic  outlook  on  the  universe  (Have  Shepard  to  thank  for  this,  that  is  if  you  were  nice  to  her.  But  hey  who  couldn't  be).  Other  than  the  being  shot  and  hunted  by  mercs,  I'd  say  her  pilgrimage  was  fairly  decent,  at  least  compared  to  the  majority  of  others.

I'll be fine. Tali'Zorah was lucky to find Commander Shepard.

Ow, my heart. . .

Man how I wish there was something more I could have done for Lia. Hell, I gave the kid on Omega the cash he needed to leave. I could have spared a few bucks for Lia as well. At least the girl could have bought a nice dinner that night or something. . .
