What really makes no sense is that Tali BOOSTS her immune system to be with shepard. When she should really be weakening it.

True, but I always just took it that it was just one of those common terms applied to something just to make it more understandable (?). She's "boosting" her immune system to be better suited for the actions she's about to take. I guess.... Or maybe she IS ramping up her immune system because the reactions to the sputum Garrus sneezed onto Shepard during their last discussions of calibrations is more dangerous to her health than a mild allergic reaction to foreign incompatible proteins. Truth is, I have no fracking clue what any of it really is other than a way for the writers to make something in the story work. Sometimes it's better to not look into things too deeply or you start discovering nagging technicalities that ruin immersion and your own suspension of disbelief. Gah, now I've done it to myself and derailed my train of thought all in one fell swoop..

Original point: There's a lot of positive sounding verbs that we apply to things in language that make perfect sense when you say them, but are contradictory when you take the words completely literally. Hopefully I'm making sense, I'm at a loss for coming up with specific examples. 

Or maybe Bioware's writer's primary specializations have nothing to do with many aspect of science they put into this story, and only have an entry level pool of knowledge. I'm not an expert either, I'm still learning myself.

As for flowers, those only exist in angiosperms which developed to form a symbiotic relationship with animals which were relatively *new* at the time. Gymnosperms (conifers, pines, etc) have been around much longer without the same relationship and have obviously done just fine. They don't need pollen, only the wind to carry their spores to the cones of another gymnosperm. Flowers aren't specifically for insects though, many other animals can find them attractive and do essentially the same job as the average bee.

Yes, I did think of that. Rannoch may well also have a dandelion-analogue, or other types of flowers that don't spread with the help of insects.

Yah, but by that she means increce her responce to dextro germs (from garrus) and applyed antiseptics and anti histomenes. (Judging by the dialog with Mordin)

[Dilandau3000]

I would assume that Shepard also thoroughly disinfected himself beforehand.

Unless he took Mordin's advice of self sterilization the wrong way...

Learning grammer would be very uplifting to my mood... 

Also, why would Tali's father experiment on Geth, knowing that it would cause panic and an exile for himself evein if he came forward?

[Dilandau3000]

I think that if he came up with a way to defeat the geth and retake the homeworld, the Admiralty Board would look the other way concerning the danger and ethics of his experiments.

Probably, but but remember that tali said he would be known as the greatest trator to the Quarian people in history.

It's a matter of perspective. If his ideas led to reclaiming the homeworld, he'd probably be known as the greatest hero instead.

^ Nice pic. Is that a photograph of someone cosplaying as Tali?

[mauro2222]

Are there any lines of dialogue concerning Tali's father and mother?

Edit: I don't want spoilers, just a confirmation.

If there is please put them in grey text so those of us who don't want to be spoiled are kept from it.

Hey, ME figures are back on the Bioware Store. Pre ordered a Tali figure.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Sure looks like a cosplay. And it is a pic I have never seen before, nice top!

Figures are back? Yay!

[Quole]

Garrus ones too. As well as Legion.

Because as Saphra would say, the ends would justify the means. Even if he did endanger the fleet by experimenting on live geth, no one would care by the time everyone was sitting around planetside sipping Rannoch martinis and Flotilla lager.

Some about her father. Mother, not so much.

I've always found that so strange. I mean, so much story surrounds her father, even in ME1. Tali goes on at length about him in both games and, in ME2, of course we have the tragic turn of events. However, for her mother, Tali basically shrugs it off, "Yeah. My mother died." For someone who plays a Spacer with Military parents, I've likewise always wondered why no mention is made of John's father. Oh we read and hear plenty about Hannah Shepard, but not even John's dad gets a name. It's almost the same, in reverse, for Tali's mom. Why is that? The ME writers didn't think people would care about *both* parents? 

[Someone With Mass]

Well, it's as she said. Her mother was overshadowed by her father something fierce before she got ill and died.

Though, it wouldn't hurt to talk about her.
