Well MP sucks tonight on PC. That's twice I've lost connection to the server mid game. Grrr.

Anyway, if seeing a Quarian face is like porn, isn't giving Shepard a framed picture of it to put in his room a bit like a human giving someone a frame nudie picture. Lots of people go into Shepards room. James can see it, Liara could see it, Allers could see it. You'd think Tali would be more sensitive about that. Everyone knows Shepard has an open door policy up there.

EDIT: Damn Calinstel, stop reading my thoughts. Though it would probably help if I hadn't taken five minutes to get around to hitting the post button. Lol.

Perhaps Tali will break tradition by showing no fear of any sort in letting others see her face by a picture. Keep in mind though, that regardless of who does or does not see her face, only Shepard is allowed in her suit.

I vaguely recall Tali mentioning something about wanting to see her father's face uncovered too. If I'm not just making things up, then it would mean that seeing a Quarian's face isn't necessarily romantic/intimate.It can be, but doesn't have to be.

I didn't lose connection mid game tonight, but what did happen to me was either a) bronze got harder or b)I was surrounded by fools. you know, the kind that for no apparant reason just die near the beginning of the wave. It left me all alone. My batarian soldier is good, but he aint that good, so we lost.

Anyway 3:10 am in uk, time for me to sleep. I feel bad for not posting much tonight, so i promisei shall post more next time.

Keelah se'lai, and goodnight

No, not porn. At least i dont think so... not enough evidence...

In quarian culture, being in the same environment as another is a near guarentee that you have had, are having, or shall have sex. There are VERY few other instances of OOS between quarians. So, linked environment = intimacy. OOS = your environment is linked to everyone else that is not suited. Every convo about linking suits points to this.

Linking suits would become.obsolete. Plus im not talking about her poll dancing for garrus. Just him seeing her when he visits them on ranoch.

Seeing her face IS pole dancing in her mind. Being able to look upon her face is ABOVE the intimacy level of SEX  for her. Linking suit environments essentially IS sex for quarians now. Quarians will take
many generations before that quirk is lost from their culture.

Dude sex is sex for quarians. Seeing anothers face if pritty much forplay.

I think I should vow never to love a series again. Whenever I do, the end of it is rushed and bad. It just happened to me again with a book series I've read for 9 years...
Anyways, what are we discussing Tali related?

Well it's probably like the suit link thing. It's not so much about sex as about simply being close to people you care about. After all they can and do have plenty of nerve stim action when they want to get raunchy. Which is one of the reasons why the Tali romance is one of the most intermate despite the limitations, because she doesn't just want a sexual adventure. Probably the closest other romance in that regard would be Jack (due to getting closer to you by not going down the quick sex route).

Did anyone else find it odd that Tali, who has only shown her face to Shepard, would allow a picture of herself to be opening displayed in Shepard's cabin. A cabin known to have visitors. Including, unfortunately, Diana Allers and her video system?

That is a very good point. This raises a lot of questions and thought.

It isn't always romantic, but it is always a display of extreme trust and love. Rael did that to help tali get used to life in a suit, and paid for it with days of illness. Same with auntie raan at tali's birth. Knowing what a fellow quarian's face looks like is a more personal matter than soul names for hanar.

And the inconsistencies with the picture of tali can just be put down as lazyness, because the whole pic thing was a lazy mess.

Night Bazzag. I should be off too, but I'm not remotely tired yet. Damn insomnia. Probably playing MP wasn't a good way to wind down really. Lol. I'll try MP again tomorrow. I did actually manage to get both Geth so would be nice to try them out.

Seems kinda quite tonight here in general.

After Lost and Mass Effect I'm inclined to agree with you. There was Hithikers Guide too, though that ended much longer ago and I know Douglas Adams regretted it and wanted to fix it with a new book, but didn't get the chance.

Anyway. Mostly Quarian intimacy.

It just seemed so out of character of her to do/allow something like that. 
Now, had it been a picture, as in LotSB, it would have been fine.  Displaying Tali's normal, covered profile, but once touched it would change to a visorless view.
Now THAT would have been nice. 

Y U SO MUCH SMARTER THAN BIOWARE?

Indeed. Yet another of those simple but cool things that totally eluded BW.

...I feel really geeky saying this but I was reading the Warriors series. I started reading it when it came out in 2003 and I never stop reading a series until I finish no matter what. I grew to like it, and then the final book was horribly rushed. Granted it wasn't terrible, but just stupid at some points... I wonder what Tali would think of cats. Apparently cats like to imitate Tali.

It would also have been a BIG surprise.
Think about it. Tali says she left something for you in the Cabin. You rush (I know I did) to the cabin and see the picture. You walk up to it, even though it clearly shows just her masked head, and then seeing the activate ring, you select it. Then, as you lift it up to view it better, it changes to her unmasked view. Now THAT would have been worth it.
(assuming the damned hand was fixed.)

ah, a biometric picture frame. I'm sure Tali could make that if it didn't already exist

Lol. She'd almost certainly be allergic.

[Cro730]

Yea her picture was good for me. When I was playing and got it from her, I was super happy. I like to keep that same feeling and not let any of the negativity surrounding it get to me. I enjoy it.

It bothered me, as well.

I'm not going to lie, I actually tried having all of the cabin meetings before speaking with Tali after Rannoch. I can't remember if there were any other cabin invites post Rannoch, but at least doing things this way I can "convince" myself that her gift was meant for Shepard's eyes only. 

Meh.

Cats are similar to an organism that originated on rannoch, and was a main food source for proto-quarian populations. She would take one look at a cat and lick her lips, get that incinerate ready. Dinner shall be CAT!

I'm not sure about the picture. I just...am not sure. I usually don't bother looking at it, to block out the negativity that I feel. I hope that bioware will give us a 3-D model of Tali's face and possibly clean that picture up a bit. Sadly, it's not likely to happen, but it certainly is not impossible. We shall hope, and we shall hold the line.
