Hi fellow Talimancers, been lurking this thread for a while, I think I posted once a while back. So this is the story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down, and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there, I'll tell you all about how Mass Effect is both the best and worst thing to ever happen to me.
So I got ME1 around when it came out. Played it a bit, not bad, but got bored pretty quickly. A year later I decided I'd have another crack at it. Once again got bored and didn't touch it for a year. This cycle repeated until this year, when my friend, who is really into ME wouldn't shut up about ME3 coming out. So I figured I'd finally finish ME1, really paying attention this time. Finished it, pretty interesting, starting to like it. Get ME2 "KEELAH THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER". Finish it on normal and then insanity just in time for ME3.
Originally on ME2 I was planning to romance Miranda, because not really remembering anything much about ME1 I didn't really know Tali that well (which I'm currently replaying to feel the magic). End up nearly accidently romancing jack (my friend told me to keep talking to everyone so I could get all loyalty/upgrades), but then I recruited Tali... Her awkward personality and shyness instantly melted my heart
and so I screwed over everyone else for her. Now playing through ME3 I tried to find every opportunity to talk to/have scenes with Tali. She was all I wanted, and the Quarian/Geth missions are beyond my favourite in the series. And then the "I want more time" line had me on the edge of man tears. I was begging for the disappointing endings to just be bland, or cliché, not destroy all my hopes for my house with her on Rannoch. By the end, when Joker crash lands, and then Tali and Garrus step out of the ship onto the world that would likely be their graves, I was just sitting here, shocked and crying tears of hate and sadness. 
Since then I have either been here or on the change the endings thread. Tali is everything I want in a girl, awkward, adorable/beautiful, and makes me happy and I've been stuck with the sad feeling since then that I will never find someone like her in reality. I know, sad and depressing how I love a fictional character, and all of this happened within a month, but aside from dreams, I have never felt that unexplainable feeling as much as now.
Just felt like sharing, and now you all think I'm weird:unsure:.
Keelah Se'lai.
dont worry my friend, every person in here, or the 90 % at least feel the same about the game, I think is normal the feeling about Tali, BW created her in that way on purpose. Some poeple may think those feelings about a fictitious person are weird, dont worry about it, people always complaint.
Myself, Im waiting for something else, I'm sure that at some point Bioware will speak and they will do something about this, I dont care what other people say, is my hope and thats why I'm holding the line, thats why I'm still here typing.
To be honest I don't think I feel strong enough to playthrough again, I need time, I'm having fun with MP but can't play the story again, I can buy the Prothean DLC too but it won't change the end so I won't buy it.
Hold the line my friend, be strong, at the end we are supposed to have fun with the game, enjoy the nice parts, forget about the end, and at least there is hope, your crew is alive, lost but alive, and Shepard is alive too ( depending which ending you choose). Something have to come, HAVE to.
