Question in regard the quarians and cryoships in this game

The quarians lived around 300 years on their home fleet wich caused them to require they survival suits to avoid lethal contact to bacteria. Before that they lived "naked" on their homeworld like everybody else. Now in ME:A the people "live" 600 hundred years in safe cryo prods isolated from any normal invironment, a tech the quarians fur sure have aswell but, hey they can jump onto eos and beside its radiation, there is no problem with alien bacterias at all.

Isnt this kind of lore breaking?

Just a thought. With the quarians the ME galaxy got the fact that 300 years + in space makes you extreme vulnerable to even the simplest bacterias, now in ME A, its ok for the touble time with no negative side effect.

Doesnt apply to 600 or even more Years in Stasis. Stasis means, the entire Body and its systems are "frozen", it wont age or gets influenced by anything outside the Pod.

The Quarians lived just normaly on their ships, although under sterile conditions which weakened their immune system.

edit: and as i far as i remember, Rannoch had an unusual low amount of microscopic lifeforms, so the quarians immune system were never that good.

for what i understand cryo just frozen your hole body, blood and everything so for the body is like go to sleep and wake up a few seconds later you still have your immune system intact because it was frozen

Ah yes that makes sense. Guess it strange though that no quarian came to the idea to put of few of them into cryo aswell to allow their species to recolonize a homeworld for them. But thats already to much into history to worry about 🙂

actually they tell you. they say quarians and drell ark was delay because technical difficulties. the first ones asari, turians, salarians and humans were in the time of mass effect 2 so if the other 2 quarian and drell were suppose to launch later guess what was the difficulty Reapers

They lost their homeworld long before mass effect 1 if i am not wrong and their dependance to their isolation suits already happened at the point Tali first met Shepard on the Citadel in ME1. Long before that time they should have created a cryo ship in their homefleet for a future generation of planet civilization.

I am more surprised that our pioneers trusted machines so much, and had left no Asari or Krogan overseers to make sure that everything works fine on Nexus / Arks during the travel. And if they did... Right, 600 years in sterile environment could have been probably dangerous.

Yeah, the basically understanding is that whilst Quarian didn't have a world of micromanagement or their own immunity, other races had, and they kept safe whilst in Stasis. However, be as it may, getting to a new environment may be hazardous to any of them.

Writers can also point out a planet for Quarians which actually improves a new symbiotic relationship with their immunity system, helping them recover and adapt faster than any other Milky Way races, better adapted in Andromeda now that they have no biological bindings with their previous homeworld.
