Tali seems interesting upon playing the first time (still am on first time mind you), but she proves to be quite annoying for some reason.... it's probably her voice combined with the one subject she talks about >_>... heard she is better in 2 so ill wait and see...

Wrex is currently my fav, i like all characters though, but wrex is badass...

Team Dextro was created to troll the trolls, obviously! Just look how riled up they are!

1. Original and cool designs that realy looks alien.

That's a wait and see on the quarian end.  They could end up looking very human, and thus not alien at all.

3. The only real friends Shepard have left in a cynic and harsh galaxy.

Not by a long shot. I have shepard's who aren't friend swith them and barely even talked to them in both games, and even if Shepard is friends with them, they still have Liara, Wrex, Kaidan/Ashley, Joker, Dr. chakwas and all of the normandy's crew. It's not like it's shepard, Garrus, and Tali vs the world.

Yeah true. My generalisation and misstake there.

Because they're cool! They're the two most interesting people on the ship, they're reliable, and they're pretty decent fighters. Now we only need team dextro T's

I prefer Team Racial Tension. Garrus + Grunt/Wrex.

Team Racial Tension? Don't you mean Team B3 (Belligerent Best Buddies)?

That works too!

[Golden Owl]

Garrus: Badass with a heart of gold, a voice that sends me weak at the knees, his entertaining comments....love him and Kasumi teamed up.....and is my Sheps Bro.

I never actually found Kaiden to be whiny and quite liked him

As for Tali, I used to be a fan, but not anymore due to the Geth issue primarily....though she a Legion kick a** as a team against anything mech.

"Why the hell is team Dextro so popular?"






Siwwy Wabbit!

[GodWood]

Garrus is fine but Tali's just another creepy Shepard fan-girl.


So that's no team dextro for me.

Thats the definition of popular. We are discussing why they have large number of fans

Well, I think they're popular for several reasons. Not being human, they're not subject to 'face bias'. With a human character, you see their face, and you either like their face or you don't, depending on the type of human faces you like. With an alien, you have a design created by an artist to have enough similarity to a human face to be interesting, but enough difference to be exotic/unique, which is a common aspect of attraction. And with Tali, you don't even get to see her face, so there is the mystique of what's under that mask, which is very appealing to many males especially. As a woman, I know that revealing too much skin is probably the worst thing a woman can do if she's trying to be appealing, less IS more in this respect.

And then there is voice acting and post-processing. A modulated voice is going to sound a lot more "cool" than an ordinary human voice. And an alien character has a whole species to explore, all sorts of new things to discover, whereas a human has a pretty familiar background regardless of how they grew up. Take Jack, for example. Even though she probably has the most extreme background of any of the human characters, we pretty much know everything about the overall human society she is a part of. With Garrus, it's not just Garrus, he's our entreé into the Turian Heirarchy as a whole. With Tali, it's about the Migrant Fleet and the geth. It's just like humans in our modern-day world who are more attracted to "foreigners" than persons who live in their own country/region.

They are cool enough characters and I usually bring Garrus with me most of the time. I just don't care for them anywhere near the extent most people do on this forum.

Truth be told I did like them more before I began reading these forums. Their popularity gets a little annoying on occasions. Such as when Bioware comes out with Mass Effect merchandise featuring characters and just about every single time it is either Garrus or Tali.

Great characters though, I'll just never understand their popularity.

It's like another question billions of others have been asking: Why the hell is Justin Bieber so popular?

Team Dextro is just like Justin Bieber; the main, primary reason for their popularity is that they're all mascots for shameless fanservice. In Garrus' case, not so much. But Tali and JBeebs...don't even get me started on how much fanservice is in their DNA.

[TexasToast712]

 Pfft......Team Krogan > Team Dextro.

Thing is, Tali was wanted. Unlike that abomination of a midget who nearly stole my damned hairstyle.



Edit: Oh, and Tali & Garrus make you puke from sheer awesome & charm. Bieber Boy makes you puke from sheer disgust of his effeminate, meaningless dribble, and the shame that the creature came from your home country.

Damn I really don't like Bieber. But I know he got lots of fans and it must be the same with any character. Fans have their reason and so do haters.

I'm all poker face when it comes to Garrus. Tali and JBeebs make me puke for the same reason: TOO. MUCH. FANSERVICE. IN. A. PERSON. And no, I did not want idol-worshipping, little-sis-trying-to-get-fresh-with-me and whiny Tali in ME2. I want my little sister quarian back. Not this creepy impostor.

P.S. I really don't mind Garrus. Remember his krogan balls convo in numero uno? I could never get over the sheer hilarity of that. In 2...he's still fine. Just wish he'd STOP CALIBRATING AND ACTUALLY MAKE MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION.

I hate to pull this but dismissing Tali and Garrus as nothing but fan service?



Really?




Wow, look at that - I can be unfair as well.

[S.A.K]

I say Miranda ass is fan service more than anything alse. Tali and garrus are both fan service in ME2 no mistake there. But I don't see why that is so bad. But miranda's suit makes me shy to take her anywhere.

[InvaderErl]

Of course, I just found it a bit more than hypocritical to cry fanservice and dismiss the characters on that basis with Miranda plastered all over their profile.
