Just a few nice conversations, from what I've experienced.

It's funny, on my most recent playthrough, I finally noticed the giant window above the bed...

Normally I think skylights are tacky, but I'm willing to make an exception in that case.

Falling asleep as the stars slowly pass above your head?  That is awesome.  

Falling asleep with a quarian alongside you as stars slowly pass above your head? That is... 

Falling asleep with a quarian alongside you as the stars within a purple nebula pass above your head?  That is-HHNNGG!!!!

Well, that at least makes Shepard seem considerate. But are we assuming that Shepard is James Bond? For all we know, Tali was his first. Unlikely, but still.

It all comes down to how you choose to write your own personal Shep's bio. If you want your Shepard to still be a virgin before meeting Tali, then you can make it work.
That's the great thing about how basic Shep's history is.

RE:  Consulting Garrus:

---

"Liara!" Tali paced angrily, forcing Garrus to take another step out of the way. "You saw how she treated him on Ilium, how she treated us all." Garrus shook his head: Liara hadn't treated them like anything, she'd not even noticed them. She'd only had eyes for Shepard, but at the same time didn't really seem to care. Her words certainly weren't matching her actions. It was complex. He hated complex.

"I'm not a child," fumed Tali, "I know she and Shepard were... close. And I know that what she said on Ilium hurt him. But now he's telling me that he wants to link environments?"

Yeah, complex. "Look," he broke the tirade, "you said you were the one that brought up linking suits."

"Well, yes."

"So, why get angry about it?" He could at least try to keep it simple. "Liara's not here. Her head's in the wrong place anyway, I think, and it's been years since she was with Shepard."

"But that doesn't mean," Tali interrupted furiously, "that she can just forget. I certainly..." Her voice clipped off abruptly.

Garrus had to stifle a chuckle. Like anyone didn't already know about what Tali thought of Shepard. He was no expert on quarians, but watching Tali prattle on to Shepard back in the old days about the minutia of the Pilgrimage had been almost painful sometimes. And then there were her research logs on Haestrom.

"Maybe she has, maybe she hasn't," Garrus leaned back against the gunnery station. It finally looked like he had a clear shot. Showing all his sharp teeth, he pointed a talon at Tali, who looked like she was about to quiver out of her suit. "She's not here, and by her own choice. She turned Shepard down. They did that thing with their mouths-"

"Kissed," Tali said impatiently.

"Right. And she turned away. It's over."

Over

And the thing about it is; I don't think she really all that afraid of what might happen to her if she dies from the encounter, but rather; I think she's afraid of what might happen to Shepard.
She doesn't want to die I'm positive of that much, but her biggest fear might be Shepard thinking that he killed her.

Strangely appropriate...


*Shepard and Garrus lounge around in the Forward Battery, the two friends laughing about old times. A comfortable silence is shared before Garrus interrupts.*

Garrus: I was wondering... Ah, forget it.

Shepard: What?

Garrus: Nothing. Forget about it.

*Shepard leans forward on the crate he sits on.*

Shepard: Garrus, what's on your mind?

*Garrus' mandibles twitch slightly as he turns to Shepard.*

Garrus: Do you ever worry about your relationship with Tali? About... the risks?

*Shepard's expression grows visibly grim as he lets out a deep sigh, closing his eyes before continuing.*

Shepard: Yes. Every single day. It terrifies me. I can fight just about anything, Garrus. I can kill a thresher maw on foot without even breaking a sweat. I go into a battlefield with Tali by my side and I know I can protect her. I know nothing will happen to her. I know I can't fail. But the idea that us being together... The thought of that hurting her... It's the scariest thing in the world.

*Garrus could see his friend's doubt weighing on him.*

Garrus: Do you love her?

*Shepard opens his eyes, turning to Garrus.*

Shepard: I... I don't know...

Garrus: Yes you do.

*Shepard leans back against the wall, a thousand thoughts running through his head before he finally let's it out.*

Shepard: Yes. I do. I love her.

Garrus: Well then, there you go. What could be wrong with that? I've seen the way you look at each other. Loving each other and then acting on it should never have room for doubt. If you love someone, you would do anything for them, regardless of consequence. I might not be much of a romantic, Shepard, but I know that much.

Galt Danger Shepard is a ladies man.  This is a fact.

Wait.  Your Shep's middle name is Danger?

I want to attack this, I want to explain how light is cast in space and how it would affect an object in motion through glass and how it would not appear like how you would think, but I will allow you to have this moment.

I have a cousin whose middle name literally IS "Danger."  He is not in high school yet, but when he is, he will suffer as no child has suffered before.

Back on topic, Tali is hardly BuddhaShep's first.

[Collider]

I actually found that the games did not flesh Shepard out enough.

The planning involved is endearing, too. She's poring over medical research, trying to make sure she's not risking her life too much. And she still has time to consider if she should bring music.

(I bet she consulted Garrus. He suggested the Flux music, and she figured that while it was "interesting" it might not be appropriate.)

Two awesome fics in a row.



If I were wearing a hat, I'd tip it to both of you, Nuke and Liv.

You're right. Shepard is basically the player. If you want to create Tali as the only woman who ever moved you, you can.

Incidentally, is anyone here old enough to remember Viconia or Aerie? Ever have any feelings for them?

That would be one very special edition.  I mean, there can't be that big a market, right?

Shepard is not James Bond. Shepard is Captain Kirk.

Big difference.

Not how I play my Shepard.
