When I first played ME1 and I got the mission to rescue her from Fist's men.

(On Normandy) "Damn this girl is cute as hell. Her whole race is pretty interesting too. Forget that human chick, I want this to be my LI"

Then I proceeded to talk to her after every mission until I learned she wasn't a romance option

I knew ahead of time in ME1 that she was "CANNOT HAVE" so I didn't get real excited about her.  She was cool and all, but I wasn't going to torture myself.

Then when the rumors started circulating on 4chan about her being an LI in ME2, followed by the proof in the form of screenshots and gifs, I went and purchased ME2.  Guess she was there in the back of my mind all along.

I completely avoided all ME2 media, so I had no idea she was a LI until I heard Kelly talk about Tali, and then finally confirmed when I talked to Tali after her trial. 

I was convinced they were going to show her face in the romance scene though, so when that didn't happen, it was a pretty big FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-- moment for me. 

I was grinning like an idiot too much to rage at that point.

And for ME2 I spent the whole time shaping up my thing to save everyone Including the one I love Tali

It's hard remembering your first playthrough, but I distinctly remember being more intrigued by the Quarian/Geth history lesson than the other backgrounds. It was actually Tali and Wrex who I hardly paid attention to and after 6-7 playthroughs they ended up being my 2 favorites. Funny how that works.  ME2...wow, thank you Bioware. The best dialogue in the whole game.

When did you first notice and start to like Tali?
[/quote]

Can't remember exactly, but it didn't take too long. I'm pretty sure it happed in steps: the first thing I liked was her suit which I thought was very origional and, frankly, awesome looking. Next when I heard her talk I fell in love with her voice. (There are certian accents that make me melt like manly, MANLY butter) after that the love grew from hearing her talk about her life. Tali is such a tragic figure because she is the rarest of all things: an honestly good person, and it's because of this unforgivable sin that the world will constantly try to beat her down and break her spirit. 
Depending on how you play Shepard, you can be the first really good thing to happen in her life. 
It's like. . .neither Ashley or Liara really need you, but Tali. . .well. . .I think she'd follow you into the depths of Hell.
She is willing to worth with a Geth because of you, after all. 

[/quote]

I hear ya on the accents. Leliana from DA cut through me lika butta...like two sticks of butta. Tali the same way. Based on the fact she was thinking and talking about you while you were dead, shows depth to your "she'd follow you into the depths of Hell". I think somewhere at Bioware HQ there's a severe Tali fan :innocent:

Yeah, I still loved the scene. But for some reason, I had utterly convinced myself they were going to show her face (maybe it was her "I want you to see what's under this damn helmet" line, which I heard like 10 times since I kept talking to her after missions )

[WrathWinters]

@nuclearbuddha

that's really good advice. I'm going to start writing it tomorrow in my free time, and I'll type it up and post the first chapter tomorrow night!



Goodnight everyone! Dream of tali and Keelah se'lai

[cannedcream]

I always thought Tali was adorable in the first game, but she didn't get a ton of screen time and wasn't a romance option.  Plus, I also adored Liara in ME1 and was happy with her romance.

I didn't read a single spoiler for ME2, so I had no idea what the romance options would be.  After I ran into Liara on Illium, I was thoroughly disgusted by how she had changed, and I got back on the Normandy totally bummed, as Jack wasn't appealing at all and Miranda still hadn't opened up to Shepard at that point in the game.  I went to go recruit Tali not feeling particularly thrilled with any of the romance options.  When I played Tali's "I wish Shepard was here" diary I was like "aw, that's so sweet!," but I still figured she wouldn't be a romance option because she hadn't been in the first one.  After the mission, Yeoman Chambers clued Shepard in and the rest is history. 

Same thing here. I never read a single thing about ME2 (not becuase I didn't want to spoil anything, but simply because I wasn't sure I wanted to play it)
So when I did rent it and was playing through I was happy to see Tali had a cameo, but didn't expect to ever see her again. After I found out I was able to get her in my squad, I was overjoyed, but it was when I was talking to Kelly and she said "I think she want's to be more than friends" that my brain goes:

"YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I was never so happy at a video game. Would have kissed BioWare on the mouth just then (and with tongue).

The main reason I bought the game was because of how much I love her character. She really makes the game for me. I know we're just getting into 'sad' here, but, if she's not in ME3, I'm not sure if I'll even play it. . .

[sergio71785]

I'm positive it won't happen, but if she's not in ME3, I may just not even buy it. Just my way of protesting.



Although, I intend to utterly ignore all ME3 media and discussion, so I may not even find out until it's too late.

Anyway the best way, I think, to get readers is to write quality product.  And probably that means taking your time.

The other thing to do is to come to this thread and tell us what you've done.  That will usually garner a read or two.

lol this thread is full of so much love. Nobody comes in 2nd place when it comes to Talimance :innocent:

My main problem was determining why I ran a search for "Mass Effect Tali", and if I only started liking her after reading so many posts about every detail about it. When you read that much love and dedication from fans of a character, it changes your opinions of them. I wish I hadn't seen any ME2 media cuz then I could say without a doubt that I formed my own opinions with no outside influence.

Can't deny these feelings tho  so who cares.

*sigh* I wish Shepart were here.

I have no worries about that.  She's a crucial character to the plot, and Bioware obviously loves her.

Yeah, here's the thing:  I wasn't excited about ME2 at all.  I thought ME1 was nice and all, but it was a pretty generic space opera to me.  I probably wasn't going to buy ME2.

But like I said, I found additional data to influence my decision.

I hope he has the kindness in his heart to lock it on 1337.  That said, I would probably do exactly what you described.
