This may or may not have come up before but since I only came across the situation last night I'm posting it anyway.

In much the same was as a mothers milk kick starts a babies immume system, or doses of non lethal diseases (like cow pox) can be used to prevent smallpox. Would a regular injection of "Shepard" have the same effect on Tali?

It would certainly a give basis for having Tali out of her suit in ME3 at least

LOL @ regular injection of Shepard!!!



Bwahahaha.



*rolls out thread door laughing*

The wording is disturbing.

But whether Tali would get "used" to Shepard's presence outside of her suit in terms of her immune system, is in the hands of the writers. They could be potentially do either or.

I don't know whether this is disturbing or hilarious.

I imagine not. If limited and controlled exposure to possible pathogens were enough for the Quarians to get control of their immune responses, I'm sure they would have figured that out at some point in the last 300 years.

Tali is a special case for a couple of reasons.

1.She's survived early exposure to human germs ME1.
2.She's made out with a human and lived to tell the tale, even though she got sick it does not put her off at all (chat post game).
3.She's not living on the flotila.This is more the key point. If you wanted to "cure" all Quarians it requires a radical enviroment shift for 17 million people.

On a related note if she was "cured" then her anti bodies could be the key to re-establishing the Quarians as a settled race.

I think it's important to note that it's more likely that she would be used to Shepard only. Not being able to live outside of her suit simply because of getting used to Shepard's human germs.

It's not like you only get used to an illness from a specfic person.
For example a cold virus once you become immune, you are immume whatever the source. Not only the person you caught it off.

Cartman, we've discovered the cure for AIDS... I mean a lack of immunity to diseases. (Oh wait that is the same thing...)



We have to inject liquid money... I mean Shepard.

[Cutlass Jack]

Well Jack Shepard certainly plans to give the old college try...

[Shinichi28]

If Shepard can change her genes,genetic data just by kissing then HELL YEAH!!!

[Cutlass Jack]

Well if you listen to the details given in ME2 its more of an allergic reaction than anything else. Having undergone treatment for allergies myself, repeated exposure is exactly the way its done.

There is however the small matter of dextro amino acid based DNA. Can't immunize against that.

That can't be the root cause though or Taurians would have the same issues.

Didn't stop the Garrus romance.

If you guys don't already know, she doesn't get infected by any type of germs except Quarian/Turian germs. She tells us in ME2 that what she experiences when she is "sick" is an allergic reaction. So I don't think it is about simply injecting her with a bit of Shepard, although I do want to see what she looks like. She can't be ugly, because Shepard looked pleasntly surprised when he saw it.

Tali's gonna be so hot! I feel she'll look like a hot middle eastern chick or something. Maybe even a bit like kasumi but not so japanese.

She is???  Well this changes everything!  she's not gonna have tentacles coming out her cheeks and big golf ball sized eyes dude.  she's going to have very human characteristics.  so many people have loved Tali since ME1 and romanced her in ME2, they aren't going to uglify her.  100% she looks more human than alien when she's finally unmasked.

I have been waiting for this thread since the release of me2.

She has very human features you can see that under the mask and can infer from the makeout session she has a mouth.



The glowy eyes always remind me of Night Elves from WoW. Maybe for that reason I expect her to have purple skin.

Mass Effect wiki:

Quarians are generally shorter and of slighter build than humans. Quarians have an endoskeleton, lips, teeth, and two eyes with eyelids and tear ducts; they also have three thick fingers on both hands which include a thumb and an index finger, as well as three toes on each foot. Their ears or ear analogues differ in a noticeable fashion from those of humans, with references made to "what [passes] for the quarian version of an ear".
