When i start Tali's mission on the flotilla and saw all those Quarians still wearing helmets on board theoretical sterille ship i start to wonder if devs actually have any idea how Quarians faces look at all.
If they still need thier bio suits on board of flotilla ships then i really fail to understand this whole "Quarian concept".
From my talks whit Tali during ME 1 i tought that enviroment on thier ships is sterille in off to let them take such helmets off and then this rather weird surprise...
I think inside Normandy II is same if not more sterille (heck Normandy II is brand new ship after all) as on board 300 years old flotilla starship and after small help from Dr Chakwas to boost her immune system (for example monthly antibiotic injections, applaying immune system boosters of course healthy diet) Tali could easy take her helmet off without risk serious health problems.
But i think this is one of the flaws in ME story line and should really recived words of explanation from devs side.
The Quarian story was expanded upon in ME2. We learnt that they had a weak immune system even before their exodus in the Flotilla, as a result of evolving on a planet on which all viruses were partially beneficial (since the Quarian homeworld's biosphere seems to have evolved with unprecedented levels of symbiosis). The Quarians needed to wear their suits when in space and on other planets anyway, because due to their unique adaptable physiology their bodies didn't try hard to fight off alien pathogens.
Once they were forced to leave their homeworld, the Quarians had to stay in their suits all the time. Over hundreds of years of living in a sterile environment, their bodies' ability to adapt to new infections was lost, and their immune systems became atrophied. That's one of the main reasons why they need to return to their own homeworld above all other possibly colonisable planets, because it would hasten their recovery by hundreds of years.
