I just had this conversation on Cleverbot. Mass Effect fans...everywhere.

Me: Is there a realm of programming so far above my imagination as to be beyond comprehension?
Stranger: Can machines imagine?
Me: Does this unit have...a soul?
Stranger: Yes, Legión, of course.
Me: I know Creator Zorah...and thank you.

Yeah I'm thinking a Spacer/Sole Survivor currently. Thanks.

Would be nice if there was a little pretense to a possible relationship in ME1, but I guess I will just struggle through it for ME2.

Spacer background also gets you some extra dialogue with Tali on Noveria in ME1 and if you hold off and bring her to Javik's recruit mission in ME3 on Edem Prime, there is also extra dialogue there.

Also it is kind of cool to have Shepard's Mom around. My two preferred backgrounds are earthborn/survivor and spacer/survivor and main canon playthrough had no one romanced in ME1.

Perhaps 'best' was the wrong word. What 'provides the most interesting dynamic' for a relationship between Tali and Shepard.

My thoughts were
Earthborn - Tough life that Tali brings some happiness to. Harshness of living on Earth has left little love for humanity.
Spacer - Similar background of living on ships and a military family. Might be too similar, although would be interesting to speculate what Shepards mother would think of Tali.
Colonist - Batarian raid might have made shepard a bit of a xenophobe. I roleplay my colonists as batarian haters until Arrival, where its too many to not warn the colony.


Sole Survivor - Talis compassion would go out to Shepard.
War Hero - Tali would have more reason to 'worship' shepard since he had done the seemingly impossible.
Ruthless - I think Tali would probably be nervous around this kind of Shepard.

To add on to what you said - as far as classes for Shepard goes, even though my male Shep was a vanguard, I always thought having Shepard as an infiltrator (combat/tech) would be the best choice.  Having tech skills means he's a soldier, yet shares something in common with Tali, making the relationship deeper. 

[Ticonderoga117]

^ All the more reason why I never changed my Shep from infiltrator from ME1 to anything else. Though I do very much enjoy the class.

Shep doesn't care how human or non-human Tali is, Tali is loved for what's on the the inside.

Well of course she cares what's on the outside! It's just a lot less important than the inside.

Hot.

That's the gayest looking guy I've seen.

[Super_Angurius]

Wow, Spacer/Sole Survivor is popular! Incedently, My main Shep has that background. I feel it gave him and Tali some common ground, but also a lot of differences. Living on an allience ship would be different than a Quarren vessel. And Shepard understood what Tali went through loosing her squad on Haestrom, having lost his own.

So I have a question. Say someone was a part of something really bad and Shepard, either for himself or someone else, wanted revenge on this someone. Shepard has his or her gun to this someones head and is about to pull the trigger. Would Tali try to stop Shepard from pulling the trigger or would she allow it?

If it's very bad... she would probably help. Context however is lacking so a definitive answer is iffy at best.

Let me rephrase the first part of the question. Say that someone was the one who led the terrible thing like...what the rogue Cerberus faction did to Jack to get her biotic power. They didn't necessarily do it to her but say was the reason it was there to begin with.

It would depend on what the person had to say. If they were remoursful and had been trying to make ammends, I believe Tali would say something like: "Shepard, we can't do this. Not like this." while lowering his arm.

If it was someone who was clearly indifferent to the suffering then I'm pretty sure Tali would offer him her shotgun.

She doesn't seem the type opposed to taking someone out who deserves it or who is purposely doing bad things. But for someone who is doing good, even if they had done bad? I think she'd try to stop it.

[zapphoman24]

My cannon origins is colonist and war hero. ^^^^Thats the way I feel too.

[Cheese of Borg]

I always do War Hero Spacer.

[iSpaz]

My Talimancing Shep is a colonist/sole survivor. Personally I feel it's enough common ground between the two even if it's under depressing circumstances... Losing both parents at a fairly young age and having missions go wrong as you watch your team die... Damn well i'm glad they found each other!

I also like to think that with the colonist background Shepard can help/teach Tali about crops/farming or whatever. Since she seems clueless about it. XP

[Anubis722]

My Shepard is an Earthborn/War Hero. Growing up as an orphan and alone on the streets of earth and then joins the gang called the reds. He did a lot things he's not too proud of, after getting tired of that life he left and join the alliance.Tali is the only good thing in my Shepard's life and is what kept's him in check.My Shepard never had someone like Tali in his life. and he's very great full for having her.

[Tom80]

My Shepard is Spacer/War Hero, because I wanted the Paragon points and a mother to show Tali to ..........even if that never happens.....

Dear Talimancers,
what happened here? This thread was amazing. And now it´s dying. Slow but steady. What have you done? I´m very disappointed of you. All of you. C´mon! Wake up!

It is posts like this why the majority of the people here from years past have left to private groups. The moderators should just disallow another public Tali thread as they did in the past and call it a day.

Oh look, its Rune complaining again. Even asking for this place to get shut down. What do you expect?

[Terrorize69]

Shepard: I'm going to go do British things, like drink cups of tea and eat bangers and mash, that sort of thing...because I'm British"

My previous Tali runthrough I was a sentinel, but this time I was thinking of going Vanguard. Missing out on the tech similarity, but I think shotguns and biotics will synergise well with Tali and allow me to always have her around.

Thinking my squad will be:
ME1 - Vanguard shep, Tali, Wrex
ME2 - Vanguard shep, Tali, Jack (biotic combos)
ME3 - Vanguard shep, Tali, Liara?

I went with Spacer and Ruthless. Spacer like Tali and Ruthless because I wanted to have some character development myself (I slowly mellowed over the series).

My canon Talimancing Shepard is this too, mainly for the many parallels I see: good opportunities for mutual understanding and bonding... Curious thing, since he was also my very first Shepard, I didn't know of the similarities that would have popped up back then (he*k, I didn't even know who Tali was back then...)

Also the scene I loved the most is giving the Spacer Renegade answer to Anoleis ("You have a problem with Spacers?") with Tali in the Party...
It's one of the things that moved me towards the Talimance, I think (noticing the points of contact)... And also why I can't bring myself to actually hate Anoleis, even if he is a ******...

[Fenrisfil]

^ My favourite Spacer moment has become discussing loosing "homes" with Tali on Eden Prime during Javiks recruitment mission. You have to hold off picking him up for most of the game to get it, but it's worth it just for that.

He's also got it backwards. People move to private forums for freedom of posting and not for further restrictions. I think many of us know this fact quite well
