There should not be a "canon" love interest. We make our own canon! My canon had Tali jump on Shep like a Thresher Maw after fresh meat, but still.
I would dissagree,
KoTOR cannon is obviously bastilla. Weather that was BW or LA idk probably LA
but logically after soo many concessions on both sides emotions for eachother have to spring up eventually. and From the perspective of brand new non-ME 2 or ME 1 players Tali (and Chakwas(thank you person who pointed out but i doubt she's interested in shepard that way)) has been there the longest for Male Shep Garrus and Joker for Fem shep.
Eventually someone is going to hit critical mass with their emotions and right when it looks like you're going to die tends to be a frequent. It seems Logical to create a Canon Romance for Male shep as Tali and Garrus as Femshep
Consider they are the onnly 2 characters who cinsistently suspend whatever they were doing prior to finding shepard in both to join and assist. and Both in ME 2 make Reference to missing shepard a great deal.
KOTOR wasn't designed to be a trilogy straight from the start. And while KOTOR gave you freedom to make important decisions, the big draw wasn't "You make your own decision! You decide what happens in the next games!" ME2 was designed not to be that heavy on ME1 for people that didn't play ME1. You are supposed to be able to pick up ME2 without having stuff like Kirrahe popping in and saying "Hey, remember that time we beat Saren on virmire!", and it's great that they are trying to make a series both for fans from the first game, and fans just getting in.
Alas i find fault in this, right off the bat the reapers are mentioned consistently the reapers are a threat in ME 2 and for unknown reasons by anyone who has not played ME 1. You Can Not Pick up ME 2 with out playing ME 1 and Be on the same page as any ME 1 player. It's probably very confusing.Even the intro scene is reliant on ME 1 up until Freedoms progress and that's being lenient.
common queastions associated with this.
why are you hunting geth? why are you being attacked why are you so important? what is a specter? what is cerberus? how have I run into them before? What are Reapers? Who is Udina and Who is Anderson? Who is ashley and who is kaiden? who is saren who is sovereign? what are geth? what's the citadel? what's the Normandy why is it so suprising another ship can find normandy? who is tali? what's a quarian?
WIth out the experience of ME 1 the Game lacks critical information to make any form of sense right off the bat.
Making canon romances just screws over everyone picking the game up late, and ties them down needlessly. Imagine if canon shepard had a relationship with Ashley, or Liara? Then they couldn't get a relationship without getting a penalty just because they didn't play ME1 first.
And honestly, just because YOU like Tali doesn't mean she should become the canon relationship. So everyone that liked Jack/Miranda better don't get a say in what's canon or not? The people that don't want a romance at all don't get a say?
for those of us who do not like this and have played ME 2 i believe we have somethign called imports? and either way this doesn't effect me i think it'd be better for the story line.
i believe i gave logical reasons associated with this idea did i not? or do you find the concept of risking life and limb next to someone time and time again not emotionally binding to some degree at least? If this doesn't make logical sense please inform me because i've seen no fault in this logic.
again eventually something has to give.
I said it earlier in this thread, and I'll say it again. Tali should stay in the game as fan service, and not be a huge role in the game, because a character going from a boring side character to the main character's wife just because her fans wont shut up about it is ridiculous.
at what point did i say that? i said canon relationship not marriage XD
if you want to end the relationship fine be my guest. and she(tali) does horrible fan service i've seen much better coming from miranda and liara thank you. Heck fem shep makes pretty good fanservice as it is does she not?
