Hey, just a quick question on a tangent, who was the observer on liara's spying mission thing? I picked the krogan, cause he was the one who wasn't present in any of the message I hacked, but he got killed and liara said it wasn't him (therefore she doesn't open up, and still looks like a bi*** to me) Not that it'd make a difference, still Tali all the way. Just curious

if you get all 5 infos you can say none of the suspects fit and you find out its her secretary.

Tali is great, right? But come on, there must be something you don't like about her. What is one thing about Tali that annoys you? I swear if you all say the helmet...

If you hack all five terminals and compare the evidence you will discover that none of them fit the description. The culprit is Liara's secretary.

I had a hunch about her from just about the get-go.

I honestly cannot think of one thing about her that bugs me. As many others on the thread have already said, I sincerely hope I can find my own real-life Tali'Zorah (not necessarily Quarian or course)

Hey, Marine ol' buddy. I know it sounds great, but another thing to remember is.... you may want someone that cute and innocent, but the reality of it is: You'd have to corrupt her. If she were innocent her entire life, your relationship would go nowhere.

I don't mean 'corrupt her' in a bad way, really. More like... make her not-so-innocent anymore.

well what i mean by innocent is someone that is awckward and cute, but....i dont kno its hard to explain but iv nvr meet anyone remotly like her this pisses me off! iv dated women that r great and all but hell most of um cuss more then i do.....i really wanna find someone who is as lonely as i am and yet still has high expectations....i just want to hold someone like her and have her tell me she needs me and that i matter......wow....i sound very pathetic god i hope none of the guys see this...ill be died /sigh


Gauging from your words above, you and me both my friend. I've been privileged enough to have shared romantic relationships with a handful of women that were/are very special and IMO easily out pace the standard in many different areas. I've travelled extensively, lived on three different continents, earned different university degrees, served in the military, held menial back breaking jobs as well as white collar office career ones too. I've walked in the African wilderness in the dead of night with hyenas and lions in the vicinity, climbed and skiied on some of the world's biggest mountains. I used to cover enough flyer miles that I could have travelled around the world twice a year when combined. I've seen dead bodies, some soaked in a pool of their own blood. I've had good times and hard times and met many interesting people along the way - some kind, some less so. Yet when I look upon and listen to the persona that is represented by Tali'Zorah, a fictional character, I feel such profound joy and sadness. Not because she is a sad character, but because I don't have a love of my own of that character. She's a fictitious character, and an alien at that, in a made believe universe mirroring our own which means I'll never get to meet Tali'Zorah and yet I can think of no one else I'd rather make a personal connection with. God I hope there are people out there in our real world like her. And I pray that one of them, somehow, somewhere, someday will be a lovely woman that bumps in to me and something special comes of it. Until then it is a very bittersweet pill to swallow because the more I see, hear and experience of her, the more I want and the more I want the more acute that sense of longing and sadness grows.

....And that is a testament to the true and great power of story telling when done right. BioWare has outdone themselves on this occasion.

thank god im not the only one who feels that way about her personality.....i was worried this damn emotion was some sort of obsession and i was one of those freaks i luagh it for making sex dolls of fictional character. i just am not used to feeling so damn attached to someone she seems so....lonely and she needs someone to hold her and that just...hell i dont know i just really want some one to say hey i need you and without u i wont be the same......damn it i sound like some sorta egotistical guy that wants ppl to see how cool he is and think he is better then them....but i just want one person to care about me truthfully and feel that they need me.......

I still just a 19 year old kid, I still can travel to those  awesome places! Sorry for the philosophical moment guys =)

I agree about Tali.

She's been in love with you for pretty much 2 years. Hooking up with her technically took 2 years, rather than the measly few days or weeks for the other potential LIs.

But I love the fact that she states that the reason she never acted on her impulses was because she had convinced herself that, despite all your heroics and valor, you could never see her for "her", that there were too many barriers. Despite being the sweetest, most selfless girl you know, she doesn't feel she's "worthy" of being Shepard's lover. She repeatedly tells you that you deserve to be happy, that you deserve someone else, that she understands if you don't want to put the effort into loving her....

... and that just makes me want to beat the whole damn galaxy into submission just to be with her. She gives her entire life over to helping others, helping the Quarian people, helping the galaxy, helping you.... and she's never asked for anything in return. For all her good deeds, she gets shot, threatened with exile, ignored by her father, treated poorly by Citadel security and others, looked down upon, and worse. You're the best thing that's ever happened to her, and romancing her is giving her the happiness she never dreamed of having in her lifetime.

I can't name any other game with a romance that selfless, that sacrificial, that touching, or that memorable.

Tali wasnt a full-blown LI in ME1 b.c Bioware wasnt sure how people would react to her, but we can see in there conversations during the game that she has some interest in Shep, which was probably Biowares way of testing the waters and setting up a premise for a future relationship. Then Tali was added as an LI due to overwhelming user demand, and now, here we are, talking about the most real love interest of any video game ever ever everB)


And the rest, as they say, is history. ^_^  I am in complete agreement with you: Tali and Shepard represent the most convincing, emotionally engaing, natural and beautiful-in-its-vulnerability (which you have to be at some point if you are going to find true love) love story that I have ever encountered in any computer games. Hell, even in comparison to many movies and some books.

Concur. I have yet to find another example of anything like this in video games, books, movies, or TV. Bioware has created something amazing here, and this alone should qualify them for a Developer of the Decade Award from any ranking organization with a brain behind it.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Thats exactly it. You've put it into words. Thats part of why I love Tali, watching how its all played out and she never lost hope! Not once did she ever lose hope in you, and together their dreams come true :)

I agree about Tali.

She's been in love with you for pretty much 2 years. Hooking up with her technically took 2 years, rather than the measly few days or weeks for the other potential LIs.

But I love the fact that she states that the reason she never acted on her impulses was because she had convinced herself that, despite all your heroics and valor, you could never see her for "her", that there were too many barriers. Despite being the sweetest, most selfless girl you know, she doesn't feel she's "worthy" of being Shepard's lover. She repeatedly tells you that you deserve to be happy, that you deserve someone else, that she understands if you don't want to put the effort into loving her....

... and that just makes me want beat the whole damn galaxy into submission just to be with her. She gives her entire life over to helping others, helping the Quarian people, helping the galaxy, helping you.... and she's never asked for anything in return. For all her good deeds, she gets shot, threatened with exile, ignored by her father, treated poorly by Citadel security and others, looked down upon, and worse. You're the best thing that's ever happened to her, and romancing her is giving her the happiness she never dreamed of having in her lifetime.

I can't name any other game with a romance that selfless, that sacrificial, that touching, or that memorable.


Concur. I have yet to find another example of anything like this in video games, books, movies, or TV. Bioware has created something amazing here, and this alone should qualify them for a Developer of the Decade Award from any ranking organization with a brain behind it.


Agreed.

And the fact that here we are, a gathering of strangers online from diverse backgrounds, cultures, age groups, etc. and still we feel and respond to the messages being conveyed through the dialogue and visual elements of their love story just goes to show that there very well may be themes that are universal and transcend boundaries. Powerful stuff.
