They're smart, brave, kind, attractive, and competent. As are several other characters. They're honest. What more could I ask of a person?


Tali's an incompetent leader, Liara has serious derp issues on Thessia (Thankfully God tier Javik is there to set her primitive a** straight)

"Flawless" characters are boring. (Which is why it is great that none of the people you listed are.)

Being upset at the extermination of your species is a 'flaw'? Ridiculous.

Not being a great combat leader is no more a 'flaw' than not being a great pottery maker. Being 'flawless' doesn't mean you're magically gifted to be the best at everything from birth. There's no flaw in not having mastered every skill in existence.

Silly Davey Tali is an incompetent leader because every mission she is in charge of ends hilariously badly.

At no point did I bring up her reaction to picking the Geth, try again.

Okay. And? Leading combat is difficult. A person isn't 'flawed' for not excelling at it.

Miranda is my one and only in my Canon, for many reason. And she is --in my opinion-- the only "Male Shepard" Love Interest who cares 100% about the relationship. Have you seen the "break up" on YouTube? It ends in tears. I heard that every other character is ok with it.


Dude.

You said you were leaving the BSN forever.

"Being a terrible leader" is most assuredly a flaw when you are in a leadership position...

This is becoming a very tedious conversation. Tali was facing who knows how many geth on Haestorm. Sometimes things go bad, and that's really just the end of it. Sometimes life puts us in situations we aren't ready for. Not magically excelling at whatever comes up is not a flaw.

Pretty much. Liara gives a bit of a tongue lashing in LotSB, but that's all I can think of.

Ao which of these are Ashley and Miranda missing? Last I checked, they had all 5 down.

Ashley and Miranda are dishonest.

Not that they tell lies - nothing necessarily wrong with that - they're dishonest with themselves.

I would just like to point out that Tali herself says that she isn't a good leader, both implicitly and explicitly.

"Dishonest with themselves"?

Do you have any idea how dumb that sounds?

She couldn't control her squad on Freedom's Progress and it got them killed Davey.

It's not dumb at all. People create delusions, great and small, to deceive themselves all the time. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally. Or they learn delusions from their experiences and from society in general and never manage to shake them off. Anytime you see someone doing something very illogical, that's nearly always the reason why. Anything from teenagers cutting themselves to people overestimating or underestimating their abilities and attirbutes to people spending copious amounts of time on the ME 3 forums despite apparently thinking ME 3 is a total waste of time.

And its fine, Davey seems to think that a flaw is something that just destroys a character.

Davey why do you hate branching stories, moral ambiguity, interesting characters, and proper vacuum attire?

Most importantly of all why do you play RPGs when you're obviously not into the whole "choice" thing?

I like how ashely, one of the only love interest to call my shepard out on his **** and have the balls to stand up to him, is considered one of the worst romances in mass effect.

Not only is Tali incompetent as a leader(needless to say she's a bad fireteam leader on the SM) but the fact that she was made freaking Admiral when she's never even been the captain of a rowboat is pretty damn laughable.

Well duh!

She wasn't constantly throwing slavish devotion at Shepard!

Clearly she's not HEROIC enough to handle it.
