Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0

I have no idea why people are so livid at that cutscene; and I also have no context as to what is happening. Could one of you enlighten me as to why there is an uproar on what went down? I don't know who these people are, what the stakes are, and their reactions.
