Not really, and even if they are so what? Surreal as it may sound ME2 has actually succeeded in moving my preconceived notions further along of what I thought I would be comfortable with in terms of inter-racial/species relationships. That's no small thing for anyone or anything to achieve, let along a computer game!

I get the feeling Kal'reegar is going to make a move on Tali. Time to warm up the Cain.
I beat Mass Effect 2 last night.
I destroyed the Collectors' base and saved both humanity and alienkind
from impending doom once again. At the game's conclusion, the Reapers
are advancing from the edges of dark space towards the Milky Way galaxy
once again, to conduct the campaign of genocide which they have been
carrying out for hundreds of millions of years.
However, as engrossing as Mass Effect 2 was, it wasn't the plot that
drew me in. Surprisingly, the plot was even more "basic" in design and
execution than the original Mass Effect's plot was. The entire premise
of the game involved "assembling a team of the galaxy's finest" to
conduct a "suicide run" on the Collectors' base that lay beyond the
Omega 4 relay. But however, the plot wasn't quite as fleshed out for
this reason - 90% of the game involved doing missions - not to stop the
Collectors' themselves, but to recruit people for your mission. Upon
recruiting everyone possible, only did the final mission commence. And
even then, the final mission was disappointingly short (although epic
all the same).
Because of this, it was the fascinating and diverse array of characters
that BioWare designed and wrote for this game that made the game as
awesome as it was. We meet a former assassin questioning his motives. We
meet a former military doctor regretting how he designed a virus that
killed millions of children via stillbirth, even as he deemed such a
measure necessary. Good character development in video games is so rare,
and BioWare does it in such a masterful and tasteful way that Mass
Effect shares more in common with a good novel than it does with a good
video game.
One particular character which drew my attention was a certain Quarian
female by the name of Tali'Zorah vas Normandy (formerly vas Neema). By
far, I can attest to you all that she is the most popular character in
Mass Effect, and prior to the release of Mass Effect 2, BioWare fans
petitioned for a possible "romance" between the player character,
Commander Shepard and Tali. BioWare, by virtue of fan pressure, granted
us this in Mass Effect 2.
Now, the question is: Why does Tali'Zorah vas Normandy have so much
appeal across a broad spectrum of fans? What makes her so appealing? At
the time of this writing, the "official" fan thread on BioWare's official
message boards has garnered almost4,000 replies. No other
thread concerning other characters has yet to even come close to
the positive reaction that Tali has been garnered with.
Unlike the other female protagonists in the entire Mass Effect series
(with the sole exception of Liara T'Soni), Tali is appealing simply
because she is not a ****, nor is she a complete psycho. She is
remarkably normal and also mentally stable. She is upbeat and positive.
She is that "girl next door" that you wouldn't mind hanging out with
often. Her character is careful mix of benevolence, selflessness, and
determination. And despite all these positive qualities, she also
expresses moments of emotional vulnerability and shyness. In Mass Effect
2, Tali deals with the discovery that her father died in the hands of
some reactivated geth, and her grief is quite visceral. Also, after her
loyalty quest is complete, she will approach Commander Shepard bashfully
and them him how much she loves him, even though her shyness prevents
her from saying those direct words until Commander Shepard reciprocates
her hints of admiration towards him.
Furthermore, another appealing characteristic can also be found in the
way that her character is physically designed. In Mass Effect "lore",
the Quarians have weakened immune systems; hence, they have to wear
biosuits all the time, complete with face mask. Yes, we never actually
get to see Tali's face in the game, even though it is removed once (out
the camera's view) during a possible sex scene in Mass Effect 2. Her
face mask (and the fact no one has ever seen her face) appeals to our
curiosity and makes her all the more appealing. What does she look like?
I don't know, but I certainly hope that she doesn't look like the
Predator from Aliens vs. Predator!
In short, Tali is the metaphor for the girl most nerds desire for but
never get.
What more can I say about Tali? I love her character. Her vast appeal
across an entire fanbase is attributed to her "shy girl next door"
mentality, combined with a touch of personal dedication and virtue. And,
much akin to what one sees with the characters "Edward" and "Jacob" in
the Twilight series, there is quite a bit of zealous fandom around
Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, as I have pointed out earlier. I hope BioWare
won't disappoint us in Mass Effect 3 when it comes to her.
BioWare, thank you for making such a great character. They are all
great, but Tali is the best of them all when it comes to appeal. And,
she doesn't even need good looks to accomplish that! She demonstrates
just how character is far more important than a pretty face, at least in
a metaphorical sense.
N.B. I am acutely aware that this is a video game and that Tali doesn't
exist in real life. But that fact alone does not stop me from admiring
fictional characters nonetheless. Thank you for reading, see you next
time.
