Yeah, Sten is a bad-ass with a bit of an existential philosopher's soul. Not only can he hold a pretty good conversation, dude is my go-to dragonslayer! Seriously, do.not.mess.

I liked him because he was basically a magic version of Canderous Ordo. Tali however, i never used other than for the achievement for completeing most of the game with her

Sten is awesome. I'm grooming him for my delicious dragon scale armour (strength 38 get!). My main is a rogue/duelist/tanking badass, Sten is useful for damage dealing, and I round out the party with Wynn for healing and Morrigan for damage spells / hot secks.
That said, (SPOILERS!) when Sten challenged my authority in Haven, I kicked his Qunari ass. (/SPOILERS!)

I used her a lot as well, her tech is invaluable. But romance? You can't even see her face. What if she's an uggo?

There was a sizable group of people in BioWare's forums who wanted to have Tali as a romance option, including myself. The accent is *sexy.*

I don't mind if she doesn't take the suit off. She was good for interesting conversation.

you'll have sex with anything if it emits a female voice.

i'm sure you'd be very interested to know they have a fleshlight that talks to you, in a robotic female voice.

YOU HAVE CAST THE FIRST STONE!
We must Garruson ourselves in this building.
Must you Wrex things all the time?
Tali the scores, we're making a comeback.
The TV broke, call a Reaperman.

I read your post Sovereign-teen times, and I still can't Mako heads or Talis out of it.

Sweet! The Quarian Flotilla!
Hey, what did they call Tali at the end? I thought her full name was Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, but it sounds like she changed her name to add "Normandy" at the end? Did I miss that part or is my memory failing me?
And lastly: is that Shohreh Aghdashloo doing the voice of the Quarian leader?

From what I remember of the first game, their names reflect either the ship they were born on (if they are still children) or the name of the ship they serve aboard as adults (if they have successfully passed their Pilgrimage). So I guess if her last name has changed from nar Rayya ("child of the vessel Rayya"), to vas Normandy ("crewmember of the Normandy"), she's successfully passed her pilgrimage.

You pretty much have to use Sten in Dragon Age if you want to be an evil rogue or mage.

I know I shouldn't have watched the video but I caved and did. I figured we'd see the flotilla this time after reading the 2nd book, but Tali actually being exiled? Even though I never used her in the 1st game (other than for the quarian achievement) I'm extremely interested in seeing why she's being exiled.
Being exiled is usually a death sentence for a quarian, so it will be interesting to see how that plays out.

A romance would be an interesting idea... if an exchange of fluids wouldn't be lethal to her...
And how do you kiss a beak?
Guarantee the beaks are the reason the helmets are still on while on the migrant fleet - they haven't figured out how to model a beak talking and make it not look ridiculous.
Also probably because anyone from off the fleet would be loaded with death so they have to wear the suits to be safe from outsiders.

I can't remember too much, but I think they said something in the second book about how some Quarians just don't bother to take off their suits even when on the flotilla. The fleet is sterile though, so any outsiders or returning quarians would be decontaminated before being allowed to board. All outsiders must wear suits, however.
Also, I'm pretty sure Quarians don't have beaks. You can see their faces under their masks if you look close enough.

Seeing a face doesn't mean no beak ;)
Also doesn't explain why the quarian masks are so long vs. human.

They definitely have noses, so that would contend for ugliest character design if they had both a nose and a beak. The mouth area of their masks work as both air filtration units and allow them survive in the vacuum of space, similar to space suits. Plus, more room = more comfortable. Astronauts have huge helmets, but that doesn't mean that humans have giant round heads... :D

Yep. Shohreh Aghdashloo. I'm convinced it's her as well. I mean...it's a pretty distinctive voice.
She's on Flash Forward also, although so far in a very small yet recurring role. In next week's episode she looks to feature more prominently.

I actually used her quite a bit. She is really powerful against the geth since most of her hacking skills are used against mechanical beings. She & the blue chick(forget her name) & me as the soldier, solid well rounded combo.

This discussion has inspired me to buy the e-books of both Mass Effect novels. From the comments here, I get the feeling that there's a lot of detail I'm missing out on.

Me either, if this game out this year it would probably be GOTY from what I've seen so far.
