Will the Quarians still need suits when they get here?

All non-Peebee asari have the same face. Is there actually any chance that Bioware will design what will essentially be a new alien race for both genders rather than use the same suits that don't require facial animations?

Clear visors would be cool. I'd rather not have any silly stories like we had with the krogan.

The krogan were in stasis, which presumably freezes metabolic processes. This should mean that genetic or epigenetic changes are impossible. The krogan could only have been altered if they weren't truly in stasis, which means that they'd still be aging, even if space magic allows them to age at a decreased rate. (The game, of course, just presents it as "modified while in stasis".) The quarians couldn't afford to age, even at a slower rate. This means an impossible backstory, like the krogan situation. Ugh. I'll pass.

Give us clear visors, please. Quarians look like humans with luminous eyes, basically. It shouldn't be difficult.

True and hopefully likely.


If the DLC also has drell, volus, hanar, and elcor (I'm not sure if that's certain?) then there's already a lot of character modeling that will have to occur. That's a lot of work for DLC rather than a new game. Of course I wouldn't be surprised if much of the work of the DLC had been started before MEA's release. I think Bio gave a statement that none of JOH had been started before DAI was released, but was any such statement given for MEA?

I would like at least a scene of a helmet-less quarian in a safe environment. If only because I believe Bioware uses DLC for a cheaper testing ground and that's the perfect sounding testing ground thing for the next game.

I see your Quarian McCree and raise you a Kal MOTHERFUCKING Reegar, the most badass Quarian to ever Quarian in the history of the Quarian race.


Yes. That. Exactly that.

I'm also fond of this one:



It links to Deviant Art, but far as my research went, it's actually a concept art for Tali the person just reuploaded.


Quarian. Pathfinder.

If they're Kal'Reegar's sibling, I'll fanboy all the way to Andromeda.

What if the crisis on the quarian ark is that some of the species went crazy when being wakened from stasis and end up being killed. That'd solve them having to include them in actual gameplay.

I'm pretty sure that at the time of the Morning War that the quarians lived on more than one planet.  (Can't find a source for it online, though, so I'm not 100% sure about it).  Tali doesn't argue that quarians can't live on other planets.  She just says that it would take a long time for their immune systems to acclimate to another world.  However, living in space has been worse for them so I really don't see the point.  Also, it turns out the quarians had a symbiotic relationship to the microbes and viruses on Rannoch so that they were actually beneficial to them.

If quarians were able to access these microbes and viruses and bring them with them it seems like it might be a lot easier for them to colonize other worlds.

We know that some Quarians like Admiral Koris believe that they were wrong to treat the Geth as slaves and that they rebelled for good reason. Also that during the Morning War, there were Quarians sympathetic to the Geth who died attempting to defend them.

Might be that the Quarians who joined the Andromeda Initiative decided to leave the flotilla (or were exiled) due to holding similar views? Maybe some of them wanted to conduct AI research with the intention of trying to foster a better understanding of the Geth, rather than attempting to find new ways to combat them?

I understand this, but it doesn't make any actual sense biologically. I am a biologist. Evolution can only act on traits that are already present within a population. I find it very hard if not impossible to believe that evolution would select for individuals who have no or a low immune system. Typically even in environments where they are well suited having NO or LOW immune system would be fatal. You can't be "immune" to everything so it makes no biological sense even if they were on their home planet entirely.  Thousands of biomes exist on earth that variation alone would have killed them if they really had such a sensitive immune system. They wouldn't have been able to colonize an entire planet. 

Also humans and other animals have a symbiotic relationship with microbes and plants on earth. We still have our own immune system because even things that are helpful to us may overgrow. For instance the bacteria that causes acne normally lives on the skin and usually has no issues because other bacteria help keep growth and balance in check, but sometimes it becomes more dominant in a region or gets into a pore all hell breaks loose. Same for yeast which is normally present inside of vaginas, but if the balance or pH of a vagina starts to favor it, it overgrows > yeast infection.  Many plants and trees for instance need external help to propagate. Nuts from trees being eaten by birds actually activates the seed once it is pooped out. We still have our own immune system though and so do other animals.

Like I said it just never made any sense. Yeah they should have just settled another planet and vaccinated against things that were truly dangerous to them. Though I do like your idea about taking along the things they need to help colonize a world it'd be a nice "lore" explanation for why they don't need suits. I don't really care how we get there, but I want suitless quarians or in the process of being suitless. Tired of the weird restrictions that never really made any sense anyways.
