It's not like we can have debates every page. It hard to find and pick a topic that everyone can input on. I'm not saying that I don't like a good debate though, it's just hard to get one started and maintain it throughout several pages.

Ok give me like two minutes I'll come up with something..

Ok I got one.. I was thinking the other.. minute about what I had put down earlier. Do people think of Quarians as more similar to an Eastern society or Western Society? To me the religious and social implications are certainly of Eastern Quality (Japan, China, Russia, and Middle East mostly) But to me Quarians also have a Western quality in the aspects of Politics and Economics (Europe and US based). Any thoughts?

More likely to be combination of both.

I asked this b4 in the Tali fan club forum but I'm curious if anyone else has opinions.

Perhaps for ME3 players could be given the option of equipping a transparent face mask for Tali, thus enabling us to see her face.

I realize bioware could probably explain this away by saying the tint is necessary to sheild their probably pale skin from harsh natural light. One response I saw was that the revealing of the face for Quarians is a sign of ultimate trust and/or intimacy and therefore no transparent face masks would be available.

Thoughts?

Seem to be a combo of successful communism (Nicaragua) and personal freedom (US and Europe).

I can't shake the space gypsy thing.  So by your definition, Eastern, I guess.

Well heres just a few examples
Politically : Parliament, with an Oligarchy at top
Economic: Seems to me like Capitalism, where everyone is responsible for their own stance (Pilgrimage and all that)
Religious: Philosophy and value of ancestors (Japanese and Chinese)
Social: Dress (Orientally similar), some form of social classes ( Not like rich, poor but more like slight caste system), More on unity than individual
 Just my thoughts

Their religion--what's left of it--is clearly eastern influenced.

Their politics are primarly clan-based, so you could say the same there. To a large degree that's because of their present circumstances. Also, they're highly social, so you do see the "dysfunctional family" thing Tali alludes to in her dialog. My guess would be that's how they are naturally, but the effect is magnified by conditions in the fleet.

Economically...again, their present situation dictates what they are, which is basically a cutthroat capitalist system in regards to the external world, but a communitarian system within the fleet itself. Needs must.

More interesting--for me, anyway--is how Tali changes over the course of the two games. In ME1, there's a definate feel of "Oohhhhh, shiny!" in a lot of her initial dialog. That starts to go away by the end of ME1. During ME2, she's a lot more subdued, even displaying a touch of despondancy. After her recruitment mission and especially after Treason, you can see her beginning to "go native". Some of this is clearly influenced by Shepard, but she says herself that seeing the galaxy at large has changed her outlook considerably. She mentions the tendency for some quarians to go native in ME1, and you can see her traveling down that path by the end of ME2.
 
Fascinating stuff and it bodes well for ME3.

Ah, but their internal economy is almost communistic.  Anything they don't need, they just leave in a public place for someone who does want it.

I don't view it as communistic as much as socialistic but good point

Since she makes a point of saying she's never shown her face to anyone, I think it's likely that the tint has more significance than pure practicality.
