Shepard: Oh. I'm sorry. Did I break your concentration?

Well, yeah, she's shy. Around Shepard. When talking about intimacy. That I can see.

But somewhere along the way it turns into every conversation with Shepard or just with everyone. I can't stand it. It's ridiculous and makes me wonder what in the hell these people were playing. Seriously, i've been here a while; ya'll might've noticed I don't get bent out of shape very often. But this has made me rage more times by the end of the first chapter than... well, anything else in recent memory. I think I literally started foaming at the mouth at this one.

I could go on, but that would require I find these horrors.

EDIT: Another gripe of mine is when people say 'dextro-DNA' instead of 'dextro-amino acids'. I start twitching every time I find that non-term. Half the reason I like Kikai is that she doesn't use that term.

Now I'm hurriedly going through all my stuff looking for offenses.

As am I...

First dialogue with Tali on the Normandy? I remember that she was very eager.

Indeed.

I think we're in the clear on Noir.  Definitely.  I was looking at my Unseen stuff, and while I wrote her as struggling with the right words, I like to think I portrayed her as someone who can get things done.

Edit:  It almost seems I showed Shep being more uncertain, on further reflection.

Double Edit:
Tali talks back to Jack.

---

“I thought he was full of it,” she went on with relish. From the corner of her eye she could see the alien had stopped and was watching her. “But along comes Shepard, and boom! No more Purgatory. Came close to beating my record for guards killed in a single prison stay. Hear he shot that ****** of a warden right in the mandibles, too.”

Silence filled the hole after Jack punctuated the story with a nasty chuckle. Flames rose around her, their crackling accompanied by the zip of bullets and the shrill blat of decompression alarms. Blue Suns guards were tossed like toys, fetching up against bulkheads before sliding down, broken.

“It’s good you’ll have a chance to see the other side of him, then,” Tali replied simply. Jack was jolted back out of her memories of the burning prison ship. The screams faded more slowly. Where was she? What had she been doing?

Yeah, I think I'm okay.

She might be a nervous wreck, but for the most part it's a completely internal thing.  The life she leads is such that no matter how she feels she has to keep moving forward.
*dat hand wringing*

This also works. Though there's an important distinction: Tali gets nervous, as in a condition that comes and goes and is -yes- largely internal. My gripe is that Fanfiction.net thinks it's a permanent feature apparent to... well, actually Shepard is usually the only one who notices, but actions described should be visible to everyone else. It's like they're working to shovel just that much more drama into Tali's life, and it's pathetic.

Okay just read that second one...
jesus that was a headache and a half.
As for ME1: I just thought I recalled her original dialogues during the whole bit with the council and the first couple conversations on the Normandy being a little less self assured. but then its also been awhile since I played  1.

I don't know how these people get fans.

That was more like resignation: she almost got killed for her data and hopes it was worth something. If it wasn't... well, she doesn't vocalize that far. She probably doesn't want to think about it. Not quite the same thing as nervousness, however.

I just say dextro-DNA, because I really don't care about the weakly structured and explained reason why they can't eat the same food as us. 

Dextro-DNA is a term actually used in the game. It is acceptable.

It's a line used once by a bartender. It's a slang term, which -while still kind of annoying- is okay. It really bothers me however when it's used in contexts denoting it as an actual technical term, like one of the many discussions across the internet about 'What would happen if I licked Garrus/Tali?' and others where the term 'chilarity' should appear but doesn't.

"Dextro-DNA" isn't something Mordin should ever say ever, for instance.

As I started reviewing, I wondered why I'd been worried:  here I've got Tali talking smack to Samara.

---

“Please, Samara, I’m a quarian,” Tali’s voice verged on scorn, “I know a few things about keeping something from being stolen.

“I’m going in with him,” she continued, stepping towards the VIP room entrance to make good on the assertion.

“Tali’Zorah,” Samara cautioned quietly. It had become clear that she was going to have to intervene before the ambush was spoiled. “Consider how that will look: a woman accompanying Shepard. That is no lure at all.”

An odd hesitation preceded the next outburst. “And why does he have to be the bait?” demanded Tali, loudly enough to make Samara peer past her to ensure no one was around to overhear, “why not Jacob, or Miranda or someone else? Your… Morinth doesn’t sound particular.”

You know the part where Shepard said he would plant a foot up Kar'Danna's ass?

He's been studying martial arts since he was eight.  He knows how to do that.

Your Shep, maybe.  BuddhaShep is more about gouging eyes and curbstomping.  But then again, he thinks Kar'Danna's a nice guy because he's never gotten Tali exiled.

My Shep will do that too.  He adheres to the Bruce Lee philosophy of doing what you can to win a fight.  He doesn't escalate the conflict if the other guy doesn't deserve it, but he will if need be.

Well technically *everyones* Shep should have martial arts training considering he's always N7.

LancemanShep went to the Jason Bourne School of Asskicking courtesy of the Alliance Military, you know, cause there wasn't anyone left on Mindoir to do it. Course, he too never had any reason to doubt Kar'Danna.

Well maybe on starting out experiance I'm guessing N7 training is the same for everyone.

Riptide Shep doesn't know martial arts. He just fights. If he needs to punch, he punches. If he needs to kick, he kicks. If he needs to gouge out someone's eyes, tear off their skull, shove a grenade down it's throat, then throw it at the next person, that's what he does.

Killing isn't an art. It's a state of being.

I'm sure Earthborn fights dirty.

We need to have a myShep day (night?) around here sometime with screenshots and backgrounds and such.



Though I realize some of us have a number of Sheps.
