And the way I see it "I'm happy for you" can just be as renegade. What if Shep means it in a sarcastic or ironic and dishonest way, but just delivers the line convincingly - you never know...
Is there a way to stop Tali and Garrus from hooking up?

Garrus x Tali makes the same sense as Shep x Garrus or Shep x Tali. The scene was quite cute and funny tbh. Also, I really was happy that there is any non-shep relationship.

It makes no sense at all, actually. Tali saying "I'm only using you for your body," despite likely still being a virgin? Or Garrus spending all of ME2 keeping to himself doing calibrations and the like? Now all of a sudden he's Leisure Suit Garrus mackin on the ladies? Give me a break.

Well aren't you guys a couple of dicks.
Well, for ME1 and ME2, I'd agree, but with the exception of 3 or 4 awesome renegade interrupts, Renegade pretty much is douche for ME3.
Renegade Shepard was a much bigger douche in the first two games. Most of the stuff Shepard says in ME3 is autodialogue. Almost all of the autodialogue is either neutral or paragonish. Even the actualy renegade dialogue options we get are waaaay friendlier in this game. In the past games, we were able to treat out squadmates like crap. We can't do that in ME3. Yeah there are a few renegade options that can be consdered super extreme (ie-killing Mordin, or Samara's daughter) but they're pretty few in number. Overall, the ME3 renegade is a much more reasonable and less intimidating individual.
I wasn't aware allowing genocide, betraying and killing multiple friends, and having zero remorse for anything outside of the mission was considered 'friendly', especially compared to the ME2 renegade Shep, who can, oh noes, be RUDE to people!
Moron.
What renegade option allows you to commit genocide? The Geth/Quarian ones don't count. Neither of them is a renegade decision. Or are you talking about the Krogan? In that case, Shepard had a very good reason to betray the Krogan. He had to do it to get Salarian aid. As far as he knew, the Krogan wouldn't find about how he sabatoged the genophage cure. How was he suppoesed to know that Wrex had another contact in the STG? He needed as much aid as he could possibly get to fight the Reapers. At the time it seemed like destroying the cure would guarantee him aid from both the Krogan AND the Salarians. Yeah, shooting Mordin was a dick move but what the hell can you do? If Mordin were to suceed then Shepard wouldn't get aid from the Salarians. As for killing Wrex, again, what the hell was Shepard suppoesed to do? Wrex was the one trying to kill him. That was self-defence. I don't know what other renegade decision ends up killing your friends. The renegade interrupts on Legion seemed brutal but he would die even if you didn't shoot him, so its not like the interrupt changes anything. Again, commiting genocide on the geth or the quarians can't be considered a renegade decision. If you don't have enough persuasion points for peace, then you HAVE to pick between one of the two races. In the past two games, alot of the renegade decisions were unjustifiable. Shepard was just being a dick for no reason. Pretty much every renegade decision in ME3 is justifiable.

One of the areas where ME3 def improved on its predecesors. Sadly it was let down by other areas.

Using these kind of arguments can prove that actually no relationship in ME makes sense. Come on, a few talks and Tali is all over you all of a sudden? A few talks and Liara is yours, beside being a child in Asari terms? Or wanting to restore the relationship (by anyone) which looks like this:
1. few talks and a single sexy time (Liara/VS)
2. 2 years dead
3. few talks an a sexy time (ME2 relationship) over a couple of months
4. half a year of being in custody
Seriously.
You have to believe that things happen off-screen, just as you do with Shepard, am I right?
also, haven't you ever made a dirty joke? You don't have to have sex to do it.

Tbh I missed that in my first (and only) playthrough. And I am glad I did. Not because I hate them being happy, but there is a reason I didn't romance Tali. Well, aside from Liara. Simply they could not have children. It would be better for them to romance someone ... matching. I don't know why they suddenly fall in love either. I mean there was never any tension or anything and suddenly for no reason ... bam. Blah bad writing etc rant. I really don't know why I bother with Bioware or this forum still. It just shows me again and again why I shouldn't be here or play their games at all.
Having kids is not a requirement for establishing a romance. Miranda is barren, is she to be denied a romance on that fact alone? Tali and Garrus have been with Shep through all three games, them establishing a bond made sense to me.
By the way, it's lycantHrope. Own name fail!

Yes, but SOME stuff actually has to happen in the game to make it believeable. I could just say off the top of my head that the entire Normandy crew has bi-sexual orgies every night, but that wouldn't make sense given the complete lack of context for such an event in the game.

I thought the Tali-Garrus hookup made
quite a bit of sense. They're the only two dextro-individuals on the
ship, they've known each other for years now by being on Shepard's crew,
and once Tali comes on board in ME3, there's a bunch of location
dialogue where you can hear Tali hinting to Garrus that she likes him,
although it takes him a while to realise it because he's apparently
relationship-dense. (Like him not getting that Dr Michel's gift of
chocolates to him means something more.)
In ME2 they had an Easter Egg's worth of dialogue. They don't even talk to each other when you bring one on the other's recruitment mission. It was thrown in as a joke to lighten the serious tone of the impending battle. It makes as much sense as Shepard fist-pumping on the dance floor. No more; no less.

Renegade means badass who will do anything to get the job done
Not
I want everyone to be miserable

This. The characters aren't tools for you to arrange as you want. They act on their own as well and this is a great indication of something happening without your input for once.

Okay, this is just getting goofy. I changed my mind - the asexual elevator banter in ME2 truly does lay the foundation for the greatest love story ever told. I'm surprised they didn't have sex right there in the middle of the Citadel with how hot & heavy that exchange was!

This. Thank you for this Allan
That's what I feel everytime I see threads like "I wanna be able sleep with every freakin character" (took some liberties with the wording) or get mad that Shepard isn't worshiped/blindly followed by every character.
The setting and the characters need to be defined and varied for the universe to be believable, and to be able to tell great stories. Shepard needs to be challenged, and may not get everything (s)he wants.

Yep. It was just a question. Maybe some people wanted the option to say something other than they are happy for them? Some people want to be mean about it, even if it doesnt mean sabotaging the relationship. I wouldnt, but if you wanna be a dick in an rpg... well it is an rpg.

Your exaggeration does you no credit.
You wanted something to happen in the game that makes their initiating a hookup at the very end of ME3 plausible.
You have been presented with casual conversation throughout the series, conversation that takes a decidedly flirtatious tone in ME3 (the video even leaves out the lines on the Geth dreadnaught), which puts the Tali+Garrus scene at the end in a quite believable light.
What else do you want?
