God this game's style is so good. I think a great indicator of the sense of humor the game has is that in the videos with the scientist guy, you often see those two other scientists in the background, and at some point you can find a memo from one of them saying "Why does he keep making us be in his videos? He doesn't even let us DO anything in them, we always have to stand in the background and not say anything. Oh well, at least it's an easy day in the office, I guess."
And for what it's worth, the Mind Cloud thing took me a little bit to figure out too. Also, I was getting killed way more often in the firefights.
I looked up the way the suicide mission mechanics work and the "mistake" Alex made was picking Samara, an elite warrior with literally hundreds of years of field experience for a role that the game explicitly describes as being better suited for characters with more combat experience. In other words, it was pretty bullshit that the game would punish you for that decision.
So the way I see it, if you'd lost Tali by way of some actual screw-up, I'd say maybe let her rest. But this one wasn't your fault, so I say #BringHerBack
