Well, Tali is old enough for Shepard to tap that without getting arrested for multiple reasons, and that's okay with me.

Lol XD

Obviously, the two years Shepard spent dead do not matter. He did not consciously experience those years and it's debatable whether his body actually aged.

He was born 31 years before ME2. That does not make him 31 biologically.

I'm gonna have to go with this.  The man did not physically age two years.  And really, when you're dead, why count birthdays, which are social guidelines?

Because then a 20 year-old born on February 29th can claim being five even though that person still lived for twenty rotations around the Sun. But then again, Leap Year babies do tend to go with the oddity of their birthday and run with it.

Physical age is meaningless. Your physical age could be drastically different from someone of the same biological age as you, but you don't get to delete years from your biological age because of it. You could be declared dead for 4 minutes, that doesn't make you 4 minutes younger when they revive you.

There's a difference, Shep didn't exist for 2 years.  He was born 31 years ago, but for all legitimate applications to every day life, he has lived for 29 years.  Someone born on leap year saying they're 5, and Shep saying he's 31 are the same thing; technically true, but practically not.  We can stay technical all we want, but in the end, the person born on leap year can't be tried as a kid for murder, and Shep isn't really that old.

Look, let's not poison a good thing with theories about potential pedophilia...I wanted to romance Tali because I didn't like Ashley, Liara didn't interest me enough, and unfortunately, Mordin doesn't swing that way.

But having said all that, I'm not entirely sure if I buy Tali has being 24. I know the website shows her age as 24, but it also says Grunt is 22, Mordin is 50, Samara is 600, and Zaeed is 40. If we're going to a direct correlation of quarian ages to human, I'd say Tali was about 18 when she was sent off to her Pilgrimage because I view the Pilgrimage as the quarian college experience. Even if that puts her at 20 and Shepard at 31, that's not anywhere catastrophic.

What's wrong with those ages? Grunts is physically, not mentally, of course, but the rest make sense.

Salarians don't live much past 40. If Zaeed is 40, that means he founded the Blue Suns at the age of 20. Samara says in the game she's nearing 1000.

You could come up with explanations for how Mordin lives ten years past the Salarian expiration date, why Samara rounds up from 600 to 1000, and how Zaeed can manage to fund what will become a powerful merc organization at such a young age. But I'm not really going to buy it. Anyway, Christina Norman already said Mordin's age was wrong on the website.

He wasn't dead for 2 years either. This would imply that he was completely dead all the way up until the moment he accidentally woke up/Miranda woke him up during the Lazarus station attack. At some point during his rebuild, his heart had to start beating (even if not on its own) and his brain had to start firing electrical impulses. For all we know, this was accomplished after a year, making him 30. Or it happened after six months, making him 31.

Well my roommate's girlfriend just dragged us both to eclipse. Someone do something to get my mind off it.

Win.
And what pedophilia?  Granted, I just staggered in here, and not caught up, but how is either party involved even close to too young?  Isn't Tali 24?  Isn't Shepard AT LEAST late 20s?  What's the problem people?  Love rules!

What I want to know is where these supposed accusations of immaturity come from. The voice isn't enough to base that on.

The pedophilia argument is idiotic anyway.  Nowhere in our world (that I know of,) is the age of consent 22, let alone 24.  It also varies widely from area in one country to another, let alone from parts of the world to another.  Applying the rules for your specific area to a fictional alien race is crazy.  Its very clear that Tali is an adult by her and our standards, age isn't important.

24 is plenty old enough. Case closed.

It's all very nebulous and indefinite right now. We don't know the specifics involved with the Lazarus Project and how long Shepard spent "alive" but unconscious.

Sorry for perpetuating this discussion. I realize this may be an annoying topic for you all. Anyways - what kglaser said was true.
