She's sweet, smart, honest, brave, and isn't annoying.

Seriously, that seals the deal for me, just like it'd seal the deal of any woman "irl".

Also, GO FOR THE OPTICS, TUCHIKA! GO FOR THE OPTICS! :3

Cthulhu = hot.

Could these people please stick to one thread. Fans only get one thread per-character, why do you get special privileges

Because this this forum is filled with girl-friendless virgins.

Raises kenetic shields.

The hypocrisy is strong with this one.

This isn't a fan-made thread, though. It was clearly made by a non-fan, by its very nature.

Hi Wulf!



There's been a

truck load of good conversations, philosophizing, screen shots, poetry,

humor, good natured camarderie and admiration/love for Tali's persona.



It just came to me in a flash a moment before typing this post.



We

often speak of Tali and our fan enthusiasm towards her as though it

were a sect; the truth may not be too far off that description. Stated

in short, concise terms: We've become a movement. Each day the

self-declared "Talimancers" return, many of us familiar faces and some

new. Our exuberance and devotion to this place does not appear to be

dimming as the days go by - quite the contrary. And it is not because

of this place. No, it's because of what has been unleashed by the

creation of Tali'Zorah vas Normandy as a character. I trust we are all

painfully aware that she is not a living, breathing entity as we have

come to understand such. She has become an ideal; her spirit has

awakened something that has lain dormant deep inside many of us - each

of us either secretly aware that we craved something or perhaps going

through our daily routines unsure how to place our fingertips on it yet

instinctively aware that something is missing. Each of us share this

yearning to one degree or another and it is a shared commonality that

forges these bonds between us that have been strengthened over the past

few days.



We are kindred spirits irrespective of our age, our

experience, our country of birth or native tongue, we are alike because

we have been awakened inside. We've had one of those rare opportunities

that some people can search for for a lifetime to glimpse at our inner

workings, compare it to the world around us and reached the conclusion

that regardless of our station in life it can be even better. That we

as individuals and as a collective group can be better - that we are

already becoming better thanks to the resonating, complimentary effect

we are creating amongst ourselves. It may sound melodramatic yet

I believe with an earnest heart and a clear mind that the adoration and

love the character of Tali'Zorah enjoys is a testament to the

recognition by many here that there is a love that can burn so brightly

within the recesses of our souls that no darkness, no matter how

grave, can extinguish. We, the so-called "Talimancers" - a term that

may have started out as a half jest, have become a movement because we

see clearly, perhaps for the first time in a while, that there are

better and greater things in our brief existence than purely material

and selfish pursuits. That the values represented in Tali'Zorah vas

Normandy need not only apply to her but can apply to us and those

around us. That we can find such a love - selfless, honest,

compassionate, modest, pure, brave and strong - and that it is

something worth striving for. It is for these reasons that we have each

come to love Tali'Zorah in our own individual way, and it is for those

reasons that she, the character of Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, has become

a rallying cry, a symbol.



......And now I'm done.

Tali is the naughty librarian every middle class male dreams about. A sexually repressed creature trapped in a shell. The model of propriety on the outside with the hunger of a 15th centuray hindu sex goddess trapped just benieth the surface.

In other words hawt.

Keep that stuff in the Tali thread; even as a Tali fan, reading that makes me somewhat nauseous.

Isn't annoying? To me personally her character was a bit immature, annoying in a way "Shepard i you, i'll follow you blindly" also Smart, anything that has to do with spaceships yes, everything else, not really, she has a lot to learn, honest, okay she is honest, brave... maybe?

OP asked why people like her.

[Bann Duncan]

The thing that bothers me about Tali, who I liked well enough in ME, is that a lot of her material in ME2 seemed like fan service and I'm worried that the Tali worship is distorting BioWare's artistic vision of the series.

She's cute, has a sexy accent, and makes 2 Baldur's Gate references.

Honestly, that seals the deal for me.

This, she also reminds me of my eastern European friend who is also pretty hot.

If its wrong to love ancient cosmic horrors then I don't want to be right.

Not a tough/intimidating demeanor like the other female romances (except Liara). Available as a squad mate in both games. People like the mystery surrounding her and her looks. She can look like anything to anyone and no one can prove you wrong. She's a damsel in distress who can't really do anything by herself, she's weak, so she needs you.



I guarantee that she would lose a lot of crazy fans if we actually saw her face. Her face will end up disappointing people and it'll take away from some of her mystique.

i'm shocked this thread hasn't reached 20 pages just because Tali is written in the title



what is the forum coming to?!

Well, the way she jumped on my Shepard during their intimate moment looked like she was going to bite his neck, suck his blood and tear his head off after finishing. 
I was shocked.

secretly she's a vampire

-- the Geth/Quarian Story is very similar to the (new) Battlestar Glactica series, which is my most favourite series   EVAR

I adore that show. What is even more interesting, you do know who does the voice of Captain Bailey and EDI? Right?

To me at least (which I sadly feel I have to put in as an addendum on any thread concerning a love interest for fear some rabid, foaming-mouthed idiot tries to school me in an internet forum... like I'd really change my mind in any case, I just have no time for pointless juvenile drama) she's the ship sweetie; she's the cupcake in the bakery window: sugary icing, soft moist cinnamon interior and one could never be enough.

Cake analogies aside, she was made to tweak our heartstrings with her genuine warmth, her cute accent, her loyalty and vulnerability, and she's a rock from ME1 to cling to when our other love interests have moved on/gone a bit mental. Tali's probably carried that torch since her first adventure with Shep too, so she's a keeper; she'll walk into hell with Shep without batting an eyelid. While she doesn't act on it, she gets cute and flustered around a femme-Shep too, so she appeals across genders. Hard act to follow.

Miranda is a more conventional beauty with historic/esteem issues and Jack is the alt-beauty with a tragic, immoral past. Shep's romance helps them to move past their problems, see their own inherent worth/begin to move out of the shadow of their past (those two are so damn alike, albeit with the hardest one being the most fragile), but Tali comes at you on even ground and has no serious baggage. She's (immunity-issues aside) the least problematic romantically and doesn't make Shep jump through hoops.

She's loveable, in a girl-next-door kinda way, as opposed to being one of two richter-nine tsunderes you either love or hate. She's slap bang in the middle. And then there's those hips...

Good summation.

Also, I'm glad someone else has pointed out how similar Miranda and Jack are. Those two are truly two sides of the same coin. They're like mirror images of each other.

I don't know why anyone would say that is off base or attack you.....sound logic actually. Everyone has their reasons to love/like/dislike her. Some people just latch onto certain details that some don't. I guess it is all perspective?
