Maybe she's confused about her own feelings. She's still young and behaves young. Shepard's more like her big brother.



Just a personal observation.

I think it is

I think Tali defintely has a crush on Shepard. Big time. There is some real love there as well, but he's kind of her hero as well as the galaxy's hero. And she's not really someone who has had a whole lot of adult relationships (if any). I think a lot of it is girlish infatuation, which is one of the reasons my Shepard would have had a hard time going for her even if he wasn't with Ash. He kind of sees her more like a girl and less of a grown woman.

But that's just me. *looks around for any flying objects hurled by Tali-ites*

Did she have a crush for 2 years? I doubt it. I interpreted it more as a result of the shock of Shepard being alive again, combined with fondness due to absence. Also you know, another impending high risk mission.
Outside of that context, I think Tali would realize she could never be in anything approaching a normal relationship with Shepard, and well - Shepard (depending on the player) would realize this too. They might be closely bonded friends over the long run, but it's ultimately an impossible romance.

Oh, I don't know. It seems like interspecies romance isn't that uncommon in ME. Anyway, love conquers all.

True. Still - the immune system thing, the 60 year adaptation to their own planet - I'm not sure even with the most optimistic outlook two people could get past that. Also the amino acids.

It depends on how you played the game.

If all you did was talk to tali in ME1, and played a paragon, it'll seem more than a crush.

If you played renegade and completely abused her, it'll seem like a really weird obsession.

[Relinquished2]

A crush? She risks her life to even kiss you. She's taking anti-biotics just to be with you. She doesn't trust anyone, but you.



Don't you call that a simple crush!

[Zemore]

i Posted this in the last one



whats the different between a "Crush" and love crushes are usually unspoken about to the person directly and never usually encouraged.

Physical attraction and affection are somtimes instantaneous others they develop. So my point is that yeah it probrably is/was a crush but depending on how you deal with it in game it obviously becomes alot more



You do not risk your Life for somthing your not serious about.

Yeah but if I hadn't actually been able to touch anyone, or engage in any "real" physical intimacy for my entire lifetime I'd risk it. If I were also flying into a potential suicide mission, then doubly so.

[MrBeardface]

As much as I like Tali, I would love it if she, or one of the other love interest, decided they're not into Shepard anymore. *That* would be unexpected and good fun.

Well, it's not like Tali's been living in a cage for the previous two years. I'm sure she had the opportunity to date some nice Quarian guys... she just chose not to. As a Talimancer, I choose to believe that it was because of her lingering feelings for Shepard. However, since this is an RPG and the story is what you make it, things like this aren't set in stone.

[smudboy]

If by crush you mean, total worship, sure.



I think we've had enough people list the reasons why she'd be attracted to Shepard. Hell, she listed a few of them herself.

[macrocarl]

I played through with Paragon both in ME & ME2 and chose Miranda because she's the type A I imagine a hard **** Shep would be into. If you treat Tali well but do not romance her, all the Paragon choices for her loyalty mission struck me as big brother type affection. Which was nice. Consummated love would never work for my Shep, he's got too much amino acid (read: protein) to share with the galaxy!

No, she was attracted to shepard even during the events of me1. Next time she hits on you, ask her if "are you making a pass at me".

Very funny/insightful dialogue follows.

No, I find her character's infatuation to be more like Petyr Baelish's infatuation with Lady Stark (I'm hoping if I keep dropping A Song of Ice and Fire references in my post Bioware will give us a Sci-Fi or Fantasy political drama). If Shepard pursues another LI she will probably stay as a member of the crew of the Normandy (baring death) and watch Shepard from afar for the rest of either of their lives.

I have a friend who keeps asking me to read that series. I want to, but I don't really like fantasy -- the main reason I don't currently own DA:O, nor have I ever played it.

Off topic, but it's a sensational series of books... I'm not a big fantasy fan, but I loved them. Got it all - intrigue, murder, obsession, fratracide, incest, more murder, and the occasionally silly trappings of fantasy are kept to a bare minimum... spent a sleepless fortnight reading the first four books one after the other. Hopefully Tali wouldn't behave too much like Littlefinger over Shepard though... for everyone else's sake

Back on topic, I think Tali certainly starts out as crushing on Shep (and there's potential there for it to have been carried all the way through the events of ME1), but once a crush gets reciprocated... it evolves. Then it goes the distance or not, but I don't think you can still call it a crush then. I think we'll only konw for sure once we've run the story to its conclusion. It's certainly the most womantic of the wove intewests, if not my personal favorite

Thank you! A lot of people seem to be avoiding this fact.

[Darkstar87uk]

I think Tali loves you for your ship ;\\ she is obsessed with the Normandy

[jtav]

I'm going to throw out a theory that's probably going to get me flamed, but since it's going to get me flamed from all sides, I can live with it.

None of these relationships are love. The foundation for love is there, but the in-game romances end at the beginning of the relationship. It's too early to call any of this love.

[Gill Kaiser]

True. That's why I would like the romances to continue in earnest in ME3. There's a great amount of stuff that could be done by the writers about an ongoing relationship rather than a budding one. Dragon Age was a good start in that regard, and I'd like to see more in the ME series.

[Mondo47]

Yeah, there's more than a touch of truth to that... I mean, Shep's been in bed for two years, but it's still going to be just after the loss of the Normandy Mk.1 to them. Any kind of closure from a developing relationship with Ash/Kaidan/Liara is going to be a mite lacking (which is probably why I took the whole Horizon affair so badly - I'd only been gone a week, give me a break! ).

If Shep had fallen for whomever before, they'd be nursing some pain there... which is why I didn't romance anyone new with my main Shep incidentally.

I'm not saying love at first sight doesn't happen, but in Shep's world, it happens a wee bit too much.

I will refute this by saying that I'm sure Ugly Shepard could romance Tali. Now that's sincerity!
