General question to all:
At what moment, in either ME1 or ME2, did Tali ninja her way into your brain and hack into it?

That's the thing with Tali...

One day your out trying to stop all organic life from being destroyed... Then next thing you know, your Talidoctrinated.


Hmm, well, I'd rather help the Quarians than the Reapers. So all in all, Talindoctrination is a good thing.:P

The only female character with more interesting VO is female Commander Shepard :P

Jennifer Hale is VERY good, but I hear her so often in games that a sense of character is lost.

In ME1 it was when she was talking about how the silet ship made it hard for her to sleep. I thought 'Just like how I can't sleep with out music or the tv on.' Also her voice was great. Also the Quarian culture. Space Gypsy!

In ME2 it was that she was leading missions. That first one you get from TIM at freedoms hope. She is all grown up and is a pit of a commander like Shepard is. "I'm in charge. If you don't like it you can go back to the ship"

I don't play many games. But honestly, I can hear what Shepard is thinking when she speaks. For almost every line in the game. Her defense of Tali is incredible, as well ;)



Aria is up there too, though. Hmm... just not a lot of dialogue with her. I think I'd like Carrie.

Yeah, and when I saw her on Freedom's Progress I also noticed that she had become even hotter! <3

Good question!

For me, IIRC, it began with the chats I shared with her down in Engineering on Normandy 1. She was genuine. I suppose that's the one core trait we keep coming back to over and over again in this thread regarding Tali and why so many of us choose her as the love interest. It just felt natural; as comfortable as walking in to your warm, cozily lit home without fear or concern of what awaits you there. That she clearly has more than two pieces to move about upstairs doesn't hurt at all either, and her fierce dedication to friends, family and whatever causes she believes in earned her my admiration and respect almost straigth away. I romanced Ashley in ME1 (and yes, I did/do genuinely like and care for Ashley,) but she would have been my second pick had Tali been available. She wasn't but in ME2 she is and it makes the romantic tale of Tali and my Shepard all the more epic, IMO, because it's akin to a story of long time friends who never quite managed to meet in the middle despite their being a strong mutual interest and attraction. Then suddenly events around them change all of that and finally their minds, hearts and souls meet. This is the stuff romantic fairy tales are made of!

How was it for you?



In ME1, as we have all pointed out, she seemed so geniune. She was also eager, but not in an overactive way- in a productive, realistic way. Her intelligence and emerging maturity were backed up by a sweet personality that was persistent in not being rattling. She wasn't pushy or nosy; she was just Tali. The story of her people, as it played out, only cemented her as awesome: Everyone else, Shepard included, could retire and go home and stop being badasses, living well on their homeworlds or doing what they loved. But she couldn't. Her people were ruined, and behind Tali lay the story of a broken people, and in front of Tali lay a future occupied by heartache, isolation, and war.
There was little to be happy about, yet her eagerness showed a character who could overcome these things. Throughout ME1, she was my favorite character, but not sure I would romance her. Not yet. Maybe a tad too young, for my Shepard.

But after Haestrom in ME2, it was different. Tali had grown up and was a hero to her people, a doer of great deeds. Yet she was the same person, and when I saw that her life or death inspired prodigious sacrifices by the Quarian marines on Haestrom, I knew what Tali was. She was not just a Quarian, a character, a love interest. She WAS the story of Mass Effect in a nutshell, a struggle against stacked odds where an endearing personality(which she has in bucketloads) was sometimes the only thing that stood between hope and the barrel of a gun.

Tali is not, gameplay wise, the best character. But CHARACTER wise, Garrus and Joker are distant second and third when it comes to characters. Tali is first, and it isn't even close.


I hear that brother :) Although my difference was that I really really wanted to romance her in ME1.. Image IPB

Tali seemed more womanly in the sequel, that's for sure.

But dammit, don't say that crap about the Asari.  They are one of the most fascinating species EVAR.  Samara's mission was just awesome.  Liara is also awesome.  They're slightly over-sexualized, but there's a whole lot more to them.

lol. My thinking was pilgrimage=puberty, and something just felt wrong about wanting to stick together someone in puberty and my thirty-five year old badass Alliance Marine/Spectre/Superhero/Demi-God of war.XD

I didn't mind the Asari in the first game, but in ME2 they all sucked. I even disliked Liara. Her voice seemed dead.

I finally finished the Tali romance plot last night, wow it was so intense towards the end.



There's no going back for me now. She's my number 1 girl.



I am converted.

Nah, only 29 ;) But point taken.



What's interesting to me is that I've aged with Tali. She was 22 when the first game came out, 24 for ME 2.
