Well, since the 1000 festival is coming to a close, I guess I'll catch up on some FF, then hit the hay.

Don't know if I'm entitled to say this yet, but Keelah Se'lai.

All are entitled.
Keelah Se'lai, my new friend!

I want to see her face so bad! I want a PEACEFUl way to reclaim her homeworld. I think the true Geth and Quarians could live there peacefully.

Oh, slowed down.

I doubt true Talimancers will stop posting just because we hit 1000 pages.

That's not what my post meant.

opps. I think we both didn't get what we both meant.
I meant to say that it'll slow down now because those who are on this thread just to help push to 1000 will probably now not post as much, and those who just want to be on page 1000 will probably leave or drop in a rare post now and then. While those of us who are just here to post about Tali ...well...we don't really care to much what the post count is. Lock the thread...we'll start a new one, keep this one alive (if only to make sure everyone post in once place) and we'll still be here pluging away.
Hope that clarify things.

haha its so funny we were all set on 1000 and now its seems so far away.

5 pages away at least haha

Also, you all seem to still be talking about how many pages you've achieved  I don't think you can win the internet again, or can you?

Well, I was blessed to see Us hit 1000. I think we've made our point, once again, that Tali has not, can not be, nor will be challanged by any other Female of the Mass Effect Universe. Here's to another Thousand pages and a response from Casey Hudson himself informing us that Tali will in fact not only be in ME3 as a Major Squadmate, but that we will have the option of Building her a House on the Quarian Homeworld.

General Quarian question: Why is it that their Marines give me the impression that they can't do anything militarily?

They did get owned in the very first level...

They embarrassed Reegar... I think they are just idiots, not military.

They also were almost all killed within five minutes of boarding the geth occupied ship.

Since we never hear about Prazza again... I think he and his group are the ones they sent. After that, the admiralty board just bickered about destroying the ship and whose fault it was.

[solazz]

Well, I guess my work here is done for now.  I didn't think we were going to make it to page 1000 before I passed out, but we did!  Good night fellow Talimancers, and make the push for page 1337!

[FlashedMyDrive]

I'm out, home slices, glad to be part of the previous 40 pages.

I apologize in advance if i violate any rules regarding post length or repetition.  I've never been much of a forum person, but count me among those that find Tali inspiring and worth supporting.  I am obviously not alone in that regard.

One of my few disappointments in ME1 was that there was no possibility of a romantic relationship with Tali.  I had committed to no relationship in ME2 until Yeoman Chambers off-handedly commented to me that Tali was interested in being more than friends.  So long Ashley Williams.

I have some optimism that we will see Tali in ME3, hopefully as a team member and ongoing romantic interest.  Why optimism?
     1.  The incredible effort put into Tali's recruitment, loyalty mission, and interactions with Shepard.  Her reuniion and subsequent interactions include some of the best diaglog in ME2 and do a great job of building the emotional interaction.  I don't recall being given the opportunity to comfort any other potential romantic interest as occurred aboard the lab ship.  By the end of her trial I couldn't picture Shepard with anyone else.  To put that level of care into crafting her rationale for caring about Shepard only to toss her aside would be ludicrous.
     2.  Along those lines, the idea that Tali and Shepard would just have a one night stand makes no sense.  She is literally laying her life on the line in order to be with him.  She wouldn't accept anything but the real thing.  He has to be willing to wait for her, possibly to the point of having no physical relationship in order to protect her safety.  The idea that they would go through all that, and for her the inevitable post contact illness, for a fling is ridiculous.  If it was just about having sex she would have gone with the nerve stimulators.  I wouldn't expect any cross-species couple to produce children, but i see Shepard as being after her heart, not her ovaries or their equivalent.
     3.  Like many, I was frustrated by the helmet fake out.  Hey, she promised to reveal herself to Shepard, not us.  Still, as frustrating as that was it makes me all the more eager for ME3.  There would be plenty of anticipation for that reveal in ME3.  To not have that in ME3 would make no sense.
     4.  Story hooks.  Tali is loaded with them.  There will have to be resolution to the Geth/Quarian conflict in ME3.  What will happen with the factions in the migrant fleet.  Will she adapt to Shepard and be able to interact more freely with him.  There are plenty more.
     5.  Story continuity.  It makes sense that characters would leave the team either temporarily or permanently.  It also makes sense from a story-telling standpoint to have characters that are present on the team across the entire story arc.  Tali and Garrus fill that role nicely and would tie the three games together in a way no other character could.  Taking the romance with Tali (or Garrus) to a higher level would further support the emotional power of that arc.

One source of concern to me is that a friend of mine who did not upgrade the Normandy told me that Tali is one of the crew who is killed on the approach to the Collector base.  That was a horrifying thought.  Not the way you treat someone you expect to be important in the sequel.  Still, it sounds like pretty much anyone could buy it in that final battle, so maybe I am reading too much into it.  I also agree with the concern expressed that she would be relegated to a supporting role by becoming a fleet admiral.  Maybe I defended her too well at the trial.

Hopefully the development team at Bioware realizes that with Tali they have captured lightning in a bottle.  I imagine people there were surprised at how she has resonated with so many.  I am willing to trust Bioware given the incredible games they have produced and relatively minor quibbles I have had.  That does not mean I am above begging them to include Tali as a team member and ongoing romantic interest in ME3.  If I knew how to do the signature thing I would add that to my post as well.

Good post, welcome to the forum, and welcome to the Tali thread!

I agree with pretty much everything you said. I'm also very worried that there won't be enough Tali in ME3, but that's the main reason this thread exists. By hitting 1000 pages, we made it unmistakingly clear that we like Tali, I guess we're doing everything we can do.

Somehow I don't think it really makes sense to judge current american training to that of a spaceborn military force that exists over 140 years in the future, originating in a very different culture

 All very true. Well put.  But theres one more thing i think- she was banished from the flotilla and took on the vas normandy title, so unless they were to jus cut her out completely which we all know aint happenin, shes got nowhere else to go but with shepard and the normandy.......

It is safe to assume that after the disaster at Freedom's Progress, Prazza and the other two Quarians you see being tended to are not going to be on active duty. Plus, I would have assigned a much better team to retake one of my own vessels that has a high-ranking individual on it,
