Who else wants to punch the c-sec officer and the volus on the citadel? Wish you could give that quarian some money, plus they were insulting Tali!!

Wonder if we'll make it to 20,000 posts.

Tali'Zorah nar Rayya. It may be 688+ pages on the second (or 10th, depending on who's counting) Tali thread, and yet I STILL can't believe Bioware acquiesced to our desire to romance her in ME2. I always thought I was a minority for liking her more than Ashley or Liara, but she was just too cute, too charming, too non-assuming, too self-less, too exotic, and too sweet not to like.

And now in ME2, everything, EVERYTHING just "works" perfectly. It feels so natural. It makes sense. It's handled in a realistic, mature, sweet, and believable way. More than any other "romance" it FEELS like a romance, rather than a couple of saucy innuendos or flirting like with the other LIs. This was something that built up over time, years, a proverbial powder keg waiting for the right spark (thank you, Kelly, for alerting me to this...)

And I love how the relationship still isn't going to be easy. The complications and risks were addressed and minimized, but a relationship like this can't be "just a fling". It would require lots of work, sacrifice, commitment.... basically, all the best qualities of true love. And yet, Tali risks everything she is, puts her life entirely in your hands, and demonstrates the most intimate and personal display of love and trust anybody could ever demonstrate... and that certainly serves as a key motivator to step it up for her. She could have done what others in her culture did, but she wouldn't do that for you. She felt you deserved better... and by extension, she deserved the best.

Strange that you're the savior of the Citadel, the hero of the galaxy, the paradigm of humanity, the champion of the Alliance... and yet around Tali all those achievements pale in comparison to being the man she wants and needs you to be. No other romantic interest evokes that same feeling of nobility, of strength. Tali is unique in that, and that's precisely what makes her not just great, but perfect.

Absolutely agree. I was really excited when they included Tali as a romance for ME 2 because I figured Bioware/EA would never risk the bad publicity by allowing you to have a romance with an alien.  You're right: that she has to stay in a suit MAKES it a romance, in that you have to do more than just "go up to the captain's quarters" for it to be a real relationship.  I really, REALLY hope they don't kill her off somehow in the third game though, like she gets a lethal disease because she takes her suit off again.

Yeah i Know i'm usually on the day shift ... So anything interesting  happen while i was gone... 

BTW Avatar 3D all must go see... 

Agreed. The 3D experience of "Avatar" (and the movie itself) was better than I had expected when I watched it in January.

That Na'vi tigress is quite alluring in her own right. What is it with exotic alien chicks, eh?

Dude I totally waited to bring Tali with me to this on my 2nd playthrough and I was so pissed off at the end result. I mean I have 500,000 credits here... Why the F cant I buy her a ship? Or hey there was that MSV Strontium Mule and she IS a quarian.

As tali said. "Shepard please, Im a quarian! Give me a hunk of scrap metal a circuit board and some element zero and I will have it doing precision jumps!"

So why can't I give the broken freighter that I rescued with a busted FTL drive to the Quarian on pilgrimage? I mean I can give the one on Omega a thousand credits but I can't give this one a busted up freighter?

Not really meaning to but in here, but I feel like I should. I just read "My Choices, My Mistakes" from the first page, and...damn. That was pretty excellent writing, congratulations to the author.

I read it to after you mentioned it: heart-wrenching to say the least.  Whoever wrote this is incredibly talented though: I wish as a writer I had the ability to capture emotions that well.  

Good morning ladies and gentlemen!

Aye, that story "My Choices, My Mistakes" had me crying several times. There are some spelling errors, etc. yet the story is so emotionally potent and well put together that one can easily ignore the minor flaws and savour the story telling itself.

Two thumbs up from my quarter.

That story *almost* brought a tear to my eye, but didn't quite get there.

Probably because I 'm known to bottle up feelings and stuff. Once more based off of my altruism. I can't make logical decisions that will benefit the whole if I'm feeling down myself.

It was an incredibly touching story, nonetheless!

Oh, and g'morning KFD.

You don't gotta choke on it, I know about the omega quarian =P but still wish I coulda helped the one on the citadel out. At least give her some cash, heck even something other tahn turian paste to eat.

I think shoving the Volus and making that C-sec officer look like an inept racist was plenty for her. She was after all shopping for used ships before she was bumped into

i agree on all that everyone has said about the quarian in the citadel, plus the usual attitude given to the quarians



but the attitude is caused by the creation of the geth, the flotilla kinda acting like a hive of locust when they enter a system, and i imagine after the geth attack on the citedal, it'd be even worse.

I was disappointed too that you couldn't just free the quarian slave on Ilium: you had to "sell" her to the company.  Come on, I'm freakin' Commander Shepard: I can somehow manage to charm/intimidate the slave broker to free her!  If not I'll do it at gunpoint goddamnit!

Exactly. The Quarians as a whole, sadly, are as Aesir put it: locusts in the eyes of the Council races. They travel the galaxy, strip-mining any minerals and materials from planets they pass, much to the dismay of any species living in that system.

And, they created a race of sentient AI. Which is a big no-no to the Council.

Meh what do they really care about the Geth? I took Legion up to the customs officer and she didnt even recognize him as a geth. Legions comment was "Geth do not infiltrate" then when he realized she didnt know he was a geth he says "Geth do not INTENTIONALLY infiltrate"

Even Anderson says "Thats why your trophy bot hasnt made a riot" cause the geth arent the boogy man they used to be. It's just that everyone sees them as scavengers or locusts your right and that ticks me off. You should still be able to do more for the girl. Hell in ME1 you could set up a credit line at the grocery store for the screwed up vet... why cant I do that in ME2 for the quarian?

I don't know about punching an officer of the law who wasn't physically being violent himself, however they were acting like right proper bigots (especially the Volus) so I was thrilled to tell them what's what and flash the former spectre status. On my current play through I will make sure to reclaim my spectre status and bring Tali along before dealing with that situation. And yes, I wanted to give that young Quarian woman some money just like I did for Kenn on Omega.

oooohhh......yup.......looks like it's about that time ....... aaaaaaaannnndd.....

I wanted to pull the other Volus (salesman) over the counter when he said the quarian was in there messing up his brochures. i figured that way I could get a discount & buy her a ship.
