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.
