Shepard and Tali having a child against the science would be too sentimental. The fact they can't produce offspring adds a slightly tragic flavor to the relationship.

On Illium, a Quarian is talking to a Turian about a recently failed relationship with a human, so there have been human-Quarian relationships.

What about Quarian and Turian relationships? They have compatible DNA right?

There was that Fleet and Flotilla movie. But Quarians being with Turians would be even more dangerous, because Turian germs and diseases are more likely to affect the Quarian. If you're talking about offspring...no, that would be giving science the finger.

Humans, turians, salarians, quarians, asaris, drells, krogans, batarians, all these races can love each other, but its often impossible to be with some other person that is not from your race, because of the biological differences, but if we really LOVE someone, then everything is possible. I liked that they made an romance option with Tali in ME2. She is brave, funny, shy a bit, and I like how is she talking about quarians trust and sex, for ex.: "I know, well, not that I know but I... I didn't mean it like that... It's a... Emm... Wow... It's really hot in here" or "I wasn't trying to... It's not always like that... It's more... How'd it we even have talking about this" Hehehe She has awesome personality, Shep & Tali relationship is perfect, their biological differences are big but how I meant before, love can handle everything.



P.S. This is my first message on BioWare forum, and I wanted to say hello to everyone

Seriously people. Stop bringing these Tali topics back from the grave. There is the ridiculous Tali fanboy topic and you can go there.



Supporters of the priiize have to make a stand against this.

I once defended the Talimancers and their right to litter the forum with Tali-mania.

No longer. Please use the Tali fan thread for stuff like this. That is what the other fan threads do, don't they?

Actually, it's a troll who is reviving the dead Tali threads. Report them and all is well.

So whats the reason we can't have a hate-Tali topic again? And the sad thing is I don't hate her, just the legions of fanboys and their creations.

I don't get what the appeal of Tali is. She could look like a lobster for all you know.

Heh, this instantly brought an image of Dr Zoidburg from Futurama to mind.

As far as I knew this isn't supposed to be another "I love Tali" thread but a broader interspecies relationship thread. I haven't pursued it myself but isn't FemShep able to romance Garrus? Why hasn't anyone gone into that?

I couldn't see too many humans getting into relationships with alien races other than the bipedal races.

From what I've seen of the Hanar they seem to want to only keep to themselves. Even with the Drell, from what Thane said, the Hanar see them more as lost children than anything else.

I'm not entirely sure but some Krogan seem to be keen on the Asari but that seems to be uncommon.

The Elcor probably wouldn't get along with others on a deep level because of their pheromone communication methods.

I'm not sure about the Batarians, I haven't seen them interact too much with other species other than in a business or war capacity.

The Vorcha seem a little too beastial to me but you never know, some might find that endearing. I don't know how the Vorcha would respond to other in a romantic capacity though, probably not very favourably.

The Salareans seem too caught up in blood lines and pedigary to "taint" their blood with other species, even if it were possible.

I've seen it hinted at that there are a lot of other species out there that we haven't seen yet so humans may be able to reproduce with another race that we haven't seen yet. *shrugs*

What if the Council banned Multi species relationships?

Asari culture is built on multi-species relationships.

Hey guys. Am just switching from the Migrant Fleet of Tali fans. Things have gone completly off track. So... Tali. I like the fact that we were given a Tali romance option in ME2 and am hoping that it gets even more romantic in ME3. And Collider, I noticed you weren't posting, didn't know you'd switched thread. It's good to see you again my friend.

If shep did romance Tali, would that not mean the first HumanXQuarian relationship in the ME Universe? Come to think of it it seems humans are almost as open to alien romances at the Asari are....

given the quarian talking to the turian in the bar on illium, i think not. seems like interspecies dating is not common, but not too rare either.

gotta have something to put in fornax, i guess....

Alien/human relationships are fascinating and I kind of wish there were more examples of it in the Mass Effect series. However…is it just me or are most human/alien relationships in Mass Effect male human/ female alien (With the exception of femshep)? Why is that?

[FuturePasTimeCE]

is tali'zorah staying onboard the ship or is stupidly leaving?

It could also just be basic parallel evolution, they had similar conditions and therefore evolved similarly. It would make sense for worlds capable of supporting intelligent life to have similar conditions.

Thermodynamic considerations related to formyl pterin synthesis suggest
that the ability to harness a naturally pre-existing proton gradient at
the vent–ocean interface via an ATPase is older than the ability to
generate a proton gradient with chemistry that is specified by genes.
Geologists have suggested that life might have emerged at
hydrothermal vents, chemists have shown that metal sulphides such as
FeS and NiS can catalyse biochemical reactions in the absence of
proteins, (emphasis mine)

In these mutualisms, bacteria living directly within the cell of a
eukaryotic host oxidize reduced chemicals (sulfur or methane), fueling
their own energetic and biosynthetic needs, in addition to those of
their host.

Ergo when we humans are done destroying the surface of our planet (and/or blowing ourselves up) evolution will lead creatures based on a completely different biochemistry than ourselves up the path.

Whether that path is "intelligent life" (of which I see very little on our planet now anyways har-har) or life will, as it is wont to do, stay simple is an interesting question.

In any case, there is no reasonable cause to believe this nugget about how life elsewhere will act, look or even be based on the same compounds as here. It's just carbon / DNA chauvinism. It's all DNA on Earth because that's what DISPLACED other life forms at the beginning. There is no reason to think that this particular molecule exists anywhere else but here, and is the basis of organised life (itself a combination of cells), and the path to "higher" evolution.

As always, one simple find of life elsewhere will deprovincialize human biology...

[edit] Crystals already perform many of the tasks we associate with "life": they multiply, they assemble into complex forms and they self-repair. One reason why silicon has been considered as a different basis for living systems. Silicon will not lead to DNA (though it can lead to a similar "wonder compound") because it does not use a 5-carbon/Nitrogen nucleic acid  base.

I don't like this thread. Leave this thread in the graveyard where it belongs. ESPECIALLY if it involves the abomination
