Precisely. No matter how dearly I would want to save her (or in our own world whomever I re-discover true love with), I...I can't justify signing billions (if not trillions if in the ME universe) of people's death warrants. Not for my own happiness. Sometimes someone's gotta take one for the team. "Welcome to the suck".

Whilst i concur whoeheartedly, I still feel a part of me would be happy if it was just me and Tali in the whole universe.  Besides, no way to tell that if you both died she'd be there waiting for you.  i mean, do Quarians go to heaven? 

That's the million dollar question, isn't it? Do any of us go to Heaven? Does a Heaven even exist? And so on and so forth. I suppose it comes down to this: Faith.

From a pragmantic perspective, if you believe in Heaven and there is none then you have lost nothing upon your death (unless the fear of not going to Heaven has made you live a life you would not otherwise have chosen, in which case I would advise a person take a long, hard look at themselves, where they are in life and what they truly think matters to them much earlier during said life). If on the other hand there is a Heaven and you go there then all is well. Still, what if every soul (presuming we have one) goes to Heaven automatically and thus it is irrelevant what your beliefs in life were (or weren't) and what your actions were as well?

Heaven is what we make it.



Either that or being in Tali's arms, gently kissing her

D'oh! Out in the cold, I see. And here I was about to praise you for the FF you have written.....Oh well. *smug, tight smile*

.......I hate myself now

Fret not! I realise I had actually read your first FF entry a day or two ago and now I'm reading your second one. I realise that to really work with any critique - constructive or otherwise - you need tangible details. I am however feeling a bit drained at the moment and really just want to state that in my ever-so-humble-opinion you have done a tremendous job. In particular I am impressed with the level of detail you go in to with both the character's expressions, their thoughts and feelings and also the environment and equipment around them. I imagine your current profession has its benefits in regards to detailing weaponry. Well done!

See, now that makes it all worthwhile.  

Needless to say my more 'frenetic' experiences will be put to good use when the action picks up, which is why I'm interested in doing a bit of Geth/Quarian war fiction, maybe do a Band of Brothers inspired tale for the Migrant Fleet Marines.  So many ideas, so little time...

Ah well, Part III will do for now

Sounds like a plan!

I've always liked Tali from ME 1 and wished she was a romance-able character, but I really like the way they've gone with her character in ME 2. Sweet-natured, smart, and strong-willed (and that accent - DAMN). I admit, I thought the thread was going a bit overboard before I got deep into ME 2, but I can see why so many people are posting now.

Now Bioware: PLEASE DO NOT pull some Shakespeare tragedy b.s. and have Tali die in ME 3 from making love to Shepard. I think that would ruin the game regardless of how good it was!

Welcome to the club. Tali encapsulates an essence that transcends both time and physical location.

Thanks, I agree.  Definitely the best romance I've ever seen in a game.  For once a game includes a girl with a real personality instead of the standard, cookie-cutter hotties that show as much cleavage as possible (no offense Samara - we still like you).  Looking forward to blowing up the Collector base so I can do some cuddling with Tali!

Edit:  and.....the banner no funcionar.  Oh well, I think I need to sleep an hour or so before I need to get up for work, so I'll figure it out tomorrow.

Nah, I don't have *that* many orifices.

But I know what you mean. She is beautiful.

Bravo! You side-stepped that question like an expert politician. I'm warming to you, Elastica. Good for you.

On a less testosterone-charged tone, while I do appreciate Miranda's physical attributes and the fac that she is far from vapid up between her ears, there is....The person that is Tali just fits like a well tailored glove. Instant entry in to a comfort zone.

But I did answer your question... I lack that particular orifice that would bring the count to the max making me a female.

And if that's not proof enough, know that the irony of a "less testosterone-charged" metaphor of a glove & entry in a comfort zone wasn't lost on me. 

Yeah, that was bad. I suck.

Not sure. I do recall that there was a philosopher - Descartes I think it was, but I could be mistaken - who argued that one might as well believe in God and secure your place in Heaven because if it turned out such did not exist you would have lost nothing, and if such did exist you would have gained everything. Furthermore, if such did exist and you did not believe you would have lost everything.

Personally, while I do comprehend the reasoning present in that argument, I do not approve of it's fearmongering (IMO). I do not care much for organized religion and much prefer to focus on individual and secular spirituality.

Heaven for me is having the girl of my dreams dress up as Tali and RolePlaying with me as i play Commander Shepard as we Reenact the love scene.... our own way.

i think bioware didn't add a love scene like in ME1 because of 3 possible reasons. 1) Tali's Body and Face won't be revealed till 3. 2) because they think Fox News is gonna Overreact again. 3) Bioware wants us to use "our imagination"

Also, (as a short reply) it's damned near impossible to simply *believe* for the selfish sake of passage to Heaven.

And, off to work! Keep the thread alive. Until the Woo descends upon it, at least,.
