Mysterious helmet issues, its true. I believe the word is infatuation. People build up in their minds what someone is when they really have no basis for such hope. It could very well turn out that all Quarians have invasive implants that disfigure their "appeal" with out the mask. After all she said she had "never shown her mask to anyone."

maybe, but i highly doubt it. you have to take into account that once the mask came off, there was no hesitation on shepards part. there was no "gah!" or "oh god" or anything of that sort. once the mask came off, they went at it. which would generally leave me to believe that tali is, in fact, quite attractive underneath the mask.

Well, I don't know about a majority. But her fan base is very vocal.
Tali has a certain exotic appeal. Of all the female LIs available, Tali is the most alien to us. Not just in a sense of non-human, but even her more human aspects are very reminiscent of Eastern culture, as opposed to most of us players, who are primarily Westerners. Her clothing, accent, and veiled appearance are similar to a Middle-Eastern culture, so even what is familiar about her isn't so familiar.
Personality wise, she is also perhaps the sweetest girl out there. She isn't super confident, she trusts. She gets excited and nervous, you can hear the butterflies flitting around in her stomach when she talks to you. She is a bit geeky, and there is appeal there. I know that I find gamer girls more appealing to me than others simply because of the shared interests. In real life, a girl who was like Tali would be more attractive to me than any of the other options, both ME1 and ME2. It makes sense that my character, as an extension of myself, would find Tali the more appealing option. Plus the history, the preexisting friendship, and the unique emotional situation (being with her when she discovers her father's death and crimes, as opposed to helping the others deal with their demons after the fact) makes the relationship seem more real. Writers go to a great deal of trouble to write a believable romance in games like these, and I feel with Tali they broke the mold. Anyways, that's my 2 cents.

She is nice, smart, got a nice body but not so thin she looks like a boy *cough-Jack*.
Confident but insecure enough to not get into the "hot girl alternate reality".
Except for the fact she has to be in a constant body suit she is the ideal female personality imo

I don't think that you ever actually see her body. It could be scabby or scaly for all we know.

Grunt supports this theory, only because he says Salarians / Humans and Asari are soft.

It's her personality and how believable her interactions are with Shepard.
Everyone else it's like, "lolz hey Shep ur hot lets bone."

I must be living in a different world because I didn't get that vibe from Miranda or Jack at all. I did get that vibe from Tali. Infact, Kelly will specifically mention that Tali wants to jump your bones(okay, thats a bit of an exaggeration) right after you recruit her. So even Kelly got that vibe from Tali.

I like her because her visual appearance and personality weren't taken to any of the extremes of usual female characters. Miranda's a good example of a visual extreme. Tali's personality and general visual form occupy those middle ground zones, and there's just something nicer about that. There's something approchable yet fun about the character, and I think it has to do with that middle ground approach. She has some extreme ideas, but they're counter balanced (geth opinions) and the majority are right there in the middle zipping around. Her only true extreme is that she becomes attached to Shepard not through owing him, but through trusting him and becoming loyal - not in game mechanics but in the benefit of the doubt she gives him even in actions she might have doubts on.

Miranda is the best looking but she is committed to Cerberus and i don't like that.
