Yeah, that's strange. I also wonder why haven't we met any Collectors if there is a statement in the Codex that they are still used by the Reapers during the war.

Really? I read the Codex for ME1 and 2, but I was just playing through the game on 3, and never stopped to read the Codex.

Cerberus operatives. When the picture was made, it was believed that Cerberus works with the Reapers in Mass Effect 3.

Spot on. Tali is just arm candy and should be left on the ship to be cute and all that!! And bringing along Thane who sadly is no where near as awesome in combat as his assassination cut scene leads you to believe is a sure bet to losing the fight!! ALWAYS BET ON GARRUS AND GRUNT!!!!

Only in game. Tali, and most Quarians, by canon are actually good in combat. Not warriors necessarily, but Quarians do receive training and repel Batarian slavers and pirates on a regular basis. To say that any Quarian is merely "arm candy" or "eye candy" is a complete insult. They can do more than most anyone gives them credit for.

Wow, I read how people take delight in teasing Quarian fanboys/girls cause of how easily riled up they get not to mention defensive and I see there is truth to it!! Dude relax. Say what you want about Quarians being great fighters (Yet Geth whooped their ass with little effort >:-p) but Tali IS there for one purpose only and you know it. thane at least has his Warp which is somewhat useful. Tali has zip except her cute persona!!

Alias, it seems some people justdon't know much about ME lore. Quarians have been perfecting their hand to hand since the Geth uprising. Because raids and such don't happen. In close quarters confines of a ship. Or anything.

*Rolls eyes*

So Quarians are great in hand to hand combat. Guess what isn't touched on very much in gameplay? Silly goose, maybe if you understood this series canon, you could actually stop trying to go against the cowd(People who like Tali for her capabilities and personality), instead of just hating on her for attention/being against the crowd. Or well, that's your opinion. If its the later, I respect it- but you're still wrong, by canon. Perhaps you should do your research more, hmmm?

And don't call me a Tali Fangirl. I prefer Garrus myself.

Hahahahahaha Awesome response. That's what I love about the internet. Oh so serious schooling responses like yours on a website about art no less. Oh and the rolling of the eyes!! Oh you poor thing!! Keep up the good work though!!

Now let's see what this Silly Goose can do. I do like how you assume I know very little about ME lore and you act like the know it all despite failing to point out that Quarians are actually nothing special in combat despite what you think or hope. At best they are able to GET BY on their skills. Their marines are no better then mere police level (BIG difference between Military level and Police level) and yet they are so good at combat (According to you) that they are regularly beaten by Geth as I pointed out on every known outing in ME lore. Did you miss that point in your lore reading?? They are most certainly NOT Turian/Krogan level fighters and to imply they are great in hand to hand when you have such races like these two species devalues what races who know how to fight and win like Turian/Krogan (Hell even Humans and Asari as well) can do. But personally, I have neither an opinion against or for Tali. She's just "There" if you get my meaning. But please, don't play out the Quarians to be better then they are. They are masters at technology and scavenging (Hell they built the Geth after all and keep a moving flotilla of thousands of ships operational) but combat?? Sorry to keep it real and in perspective but they are nothing special at all like I said all along if your not talking about Technology.

Not bad for a silly goose huh??

OgierXtheDane is right. Quarians have been forced to work on their close quarters combat since the Morning War. They face regular attacks from pirates and slavers, who do manage to board their ships. They take few if any prisoners which is a rarity too.

Quarians are forced to rely on their suits, those being what keep them from dying of infection. They also do not fight open wars like all the other races. They don't have the numbers for that. Comparing a Quarian to a Turian or Krogan is hardly a good comparison. Quarians prefer quick strike ops, inserting, securing the objective, and extracting quickly.

You also site the Geth a lot. Haestrom was a horrible operation. The Geth dropped on the Quarians before any of them could react. Those that you see were the survivors trying to hold their position or fall back to Reegar, who was defending Tali. They didn't have much time to set up and sort of defenses and they were overwhelmed. Shepard had the drop on the Geth, managing to kill a few before they even knew he was on the world. The flotilla is another example. No one but Rael and his team knew what they were doing. The marines were sent in to figure out exactly what was happening and stop it. They were ambushed by the Geth and forced to retreat. You see no Geth bodies because they would rebuild. Don't cite Prazza either. He was not a marine and he also lost the life of his squad because of a single minded hatred for Cerberus.

I think I have covered it all from the games. Just let me know if I missed anything.

Oh and Quarians don't take prisoners for the very same reason why the Quarian Flotilla does not have a penal system. Quarian prisoners don't exist on the Flotilla not because they are so vicious or awesome fighters but because they cannot sustain a population that isn't working and contributing to the fleet like a prisoner sitting on his ass in a cell doing nothing. That's why Quarians actually deposit their criminals and prisoners (if any) on planets first chance they get if they are not executed. Which to defend the Quarians on this is actually completely fair in their Flotilla situation.

Rompe is quite clearly trolling, might as well stop replying to him.

Quarians are more capable than most humans - they get trained in combat as has been mentioned before. But Tali is actually one of the above-average Quarians. She's defended herself countless times (when you find her in ME, and when you first meet her in ME2, and countless other times).

Personally, she's amazing with a Graal Shotgun, ALL her abilities are epic.
-Combat drone gives the enemy something to worry about.
-Sabotage fucks up turrets, synthetics and stops Marauders/Cannibals from shooting temporarily.
-Energy Drain is really useful against Marauders and Banshees, and virtually every cerberus trooper.

Let's face it, she has really useful abilities, and she's epic with her shotgun.
And yes, she has fun dialogue and is a sexy companion.

Different views are fine, but not when the person is going out of their way to insult people, which you were in oh-so-subtle ways. Which is why I called you a troll. :3

I just want to add one tiny factor into this Rompe: You keep saying how the Quarians where beaten by the Geth, yes they were but look at this from another angle, say if it was you or me and it was this era. The Geth uprising would be like every TV in the world sprouting an ak47 and going butt wild on everyone around, then repair/upgrade themselves as they went, think for a minuite about that, I know most households in the western world have between 1 and 4 tv's in them so do that math. Considering that, the Quarians did very well. Next the Quarians DO win fights, (thus how they research them at the flotilla which causes that loyalty mission in ME2).
As halofan fan stated comparing a Quarian to a Krogan is...well dumb, for lack of a better word, yes a race of war-like simpletons (remember they didn't discover their tech it was given by the Salarians) who only exist to have sex, fight, and boast ARE by definition gonna beat a technology based race. Just saying.

RompeX23 In reply to dragonzardman [2012-01-10 23:42:49 +0000 UTC]

And now it's time to defend the Krogan. There is nothing simplistic about them. Their lifestyle may be simple (War and sex) but they are not what I would call Simpletons. Hell no race in the ME universe warrants such a term. As for your TV analogy, I'll just leave that one alone. It's better that way!!

RompeX23 In reply to halofan11 [2012-01-03 22:30:28 +0000 UTC]

So let's agree then that Quarians are good if it's a ship boarding attack (Confined space battles) but are not particularly great with every other kind of battle that doesn't involve corridors and especially if Geth are involved!! Remember in ME lore, not once have the Quarians ever really bested the Geth. And if they have, I have yet to read of it anywhere so am happy to be proven wrong.

Thane's Warp is a very valuable asset when your fighting Harbinger/Scions though, or any heavy armor thing really.

Personally either Thane/Garrus (for machine enemy levels) or Thane/Grunt (For lots of fighting) or Garrus/Grunt (for the sad times before you can get Thane)
