I freaked out for a bit when I clicked "next page" button and it went into reply to thread with only 5 pages. I was scared that we had lost the thread but nothing can stop the Tali love.

That keeps happening to me for some reason... It's kind of getting irritating.

I don't understand why they havn't.. I mean were crashing the forums. They must have a bet to see how far were willing to go.

That should have been easy.....
As far as we need to go.... and then some more for good measure.

I've seen bits of discussion here and there on the whole Dextro-DNA thing, and for the most part I think the chirality issue is understood (least I hope so ).

I thought I would throw a little bit more out there though, at least regarding that of whether or not Tali and Shepard are biologically capable of producing offspring. Short answer, from what I know now, is no. I had a talk with my old biology teacher, who is a good friend and has had a PhD in this for a long ass time. In short, she said that yes, it is not possible for these two types of DNA to successfully produce offspring. However, the incompatibility goes only as far as what the body will recognize the foreign DNA as. What I mean by this is that whilst the two different strands of DNA are not able to 'hook up' and produce a viable offspring, no harm will come to either person involved in terms of disease or any side effects. The likely scenario is that basically, Tali's system would see Shepard's DNA as nothing more than a waste product of sorts, or at least something that just needs a ticket out of the body along with the rest of the body's waste products.

Just trying to keep it uncomplicated here, but that statement is more 'preliminary' results than anything. I'm interested about these differences in DNA that the whole Quarian/Human thing is bringing to light so I hope to find more info on it myself, in between my actual studying of it for lass.

But if anyone wants any clarification or something, go ahead and ask. I know this has been talked about a lot lately, but look how many pages there are! Probably added 3 more as I typed this out!

Keelah Se'lai!  Go Tali!

I think Bioware is in a panic right now

We definitely just crashed Bioware's servers. Unfortunately, those servers also contained the little amount of ME3 material that had been completed as well as models of Tali's face. The world will never know.

I'm sure they back-up something that important.
Several times.

Ever heard of MDK3?

no whats that?

Murder Death Kill x3

You just chose three very disturbing words there..

Judge Dredd, much?

Demolition Man actually. But still Arnold in it. Funny Movie. Taco Bell won the restraunt wars LOL. If you havent seen it you should.

In point of fact it was Stallone as Detective John Spartan (waaaay before Halo was a twinkle in Bungie's eye), with Wesley Snipes playing the baddie Simon Phoenix.

How do I know this?  I just finished rewatching this movie for the first time in maybe 5 years, literally the end credits just finished scrolling across my TV.  Tali thread is not only Talilicious, superhuge and forums breaking, but apparently it grants some of us Talimancers ESP abilities that border on freakin' creepy.

[_Devout_]

The forums are getting buggy, especially this thread.

[Angelraid]

ah yes, stallone. That was my bad.

[Haventh]

Thanks for finding that out. I am really interested about that stuff myself, it seems som mysterious, and hard to put a finger on.

It's still in beta, thought it exited that when they removed the lil *beta* symbol near the top

So.... Mordin should create a retrovirus that rewrites Shepard's DNA at it's base levels..... *coughs* [/shamlessideaplug]

[The Quarian Sympathizer]

Well obviously two different types of DNA couldn't recognize each other. Dextro-amino acid based life has DNA that is probably made of a different base then the DNA we have.

[NoBrandOnMe]

Nooo! I'm getting the five blank pages again.

Ok, I will go to bed now. Have a good night.

They haven't taken this thread down yet because half the people in here are secretly Bioware devs posting under anonymous accounts.

Well, that'd at least take care of all our concerns. If so many BioWare devs were as addicted to Tali as we are, she'd surely be a squadmate and romance option in ME3, and we could all sleep well tonight.

I love Tali in ME2, Liara used to be my favorite but doesn't look like she'll be coming back anytime soon.
The loyalty mission for Tali was really emotional and unfrotunately I couldn't convince the board to let her stay(I fetl somewhat bad about it).
Anywho I really hope she returns in the next ME, i've really grown to like her personality.
And my favorite line: "Go for the optics! Go for the optics!"

Nah, heard he is still working on that Varren STD...


You'd think after all Shepard has gone through though, with being rebuilt and all, he'd be open to such a thing, though I don't think that is a plausible scenario.

In fact, chilarity doesn't have anything to do with DNA orientation. We have both dextro and levo DNA in our cells, as far as I know, or at least some of our Earth species has.

Chilarity affects proteins specially. To put it simply, just look it this way: you have a protein-key that has to fit in an specific protein-door. if protein-key is asimetric, which almost always is, you may have 2 versions of it: the original that may fit in the door, and the mirror version that, although it's almost identical, it's reversed so it won't let you open the protein-door.

Tali has reversed protein-keys and doors.

Anyway, since we're different species, we have different number of cromosomes, and different sexual identification, therefore we can't have children with Tali, the same way we can't have children with an ape, even though we're more similar. You don't have to arrive at DNA-chilarity to get an answer.
