I have a fever and the cure is more cow-bell. See you all later, yes?

Logging off.



Mordin: Found cure for Tali's fever. More cowbell.

Shepard: Haha, very funny, doc.

Mordin: Not being funny, am serious. Vibrations caused by cowbell strikes positively stimulate Quarian immune system.

Shepard. Whoa.

EDI: Shall I play your Blue Oyster Cult album, Shepard?

Shepard. Yes, do it EDI.

Pouncing on Shepard wasn't her being unsubtle, it was her being a 24 year old woman, who had never had any physical intimacy, who had just been completely accepted by the person she must loved and trusted. <3 


I can see you're fighting them negative waves so early in the morning. Always here to defend canon Tali.

I dunno, "subtle" isn't the first thing I would describe Tali as.  She certainly isn't shy about getting in people's faces or threatening them when she gets annoyed.  "Subtle" and "majestic" I think are maybe adjectives that people might want to think of her as having, rather than traits she has actually displayed :P


Just my opinion.  Literally everyone I know that plays ME2 doesn't know or care about Tali's character, much less if she's a LI. I'm surprise these many people are on here and that the Tali thread is this big, because if not for the site I'd think I was in the minority (am I? Are we?) and the rest of these forums doesn't understand the Tali-craze, either.

My point is that Tali is definitely the subtle LI compared to Miranda and Jack. Agree?


Were they stoned while playing ME? Tali's just as big a character, if not bigger, than most characters in the franchise... Even Wrex has taken a backseat to her :(



Stop reminding me that Wrex is no longer on my team!Image IPB

I think Garrus, Liara, Ashley, Wrex all make hard impressions on everyone when they only do one playthrough. It took me my 2nd playthrough to really notice Tali as a character. Luckily I did that, cuz I didn't like Wrex at first, either.

Did you just rush through the game and skip as much dialogue as possible?

I'm really having a hard time understanding how anyone managed not to notice a squad member... :huh:

But what was it like after everyone's first playthrough? Cuz to be honest I didn't fully talk to Wrex or Tali or anyone really my first playthrough (didn't understand how Bioware games worked), which is what my brothers and a few of my friends did. Some didn't even play ME1 so they didn't notice Tali at all.
It's all good, though :innocent:. Tali isn't the mainstream LI and it shouldn't surprise me.

Read Tali's entry. I think for the most part, they got it.

Quite frankly I just don't have the patience to parse every entry on that list and look up all the memes, so I don't know if I really agree or not.  After a cursory scan I would say so so, but I didn't see any traits that I'd say coincide with being "subtle", either.  The sole exception on the list that I noticed was "Shrinking Violet", a trait I disagree with, at least in large part.  She pines for Shepard, but she isn't shy with him, or shy in general.  Nervous, yes, but not shy.

Well in my defense it was my first playthrough and that game is REALLY easy to skip sidequests and finish the game in 15 hours. "Oh here's Noveria, oh they tell me to go to Virmire ok, WHAT I can't leave the Citadel!?"

I am pretty sure Wrex has more dialogue. He told you all these awesome stories from his past.

According to the poll she's pretty popular...
Anyhow, I liked Tali in Me1, but REALLY loved her beginning in Me2. Her character made huge jumps. Image IPB

Easy to skip? Yes... but why would you want to? Take your time, and you'll enjoy games so much more... Not even my younger brothers skip through games like this, and they're kids. :?

150 hours and 7 playthroughs later, I now finally know how the game is supposed to be played. I never played any game like ME1 for Bioware, the concept of "talking" to your squadmates and "development of characters" was hard for me to grasp lol let's just say I can't enjoy any of my other games anymore. :innocent:

I talked to both Wrex and Tali, I felt Tali had more dialog. Either way, they both had a lot to say.

I'm not sure how you've come to the conclusion that she isn't the mainstream LI.  Depends on the definition of mainstream I guess, I'm assuming you mean popular.  I would imagine Tali is far and away the most popular LI among people who played ME1.  Every other site I've looked at Tali always comes out ahead as well.  It isn't just this site.

Mass Effect tends to have a more mature player base from what I've seen, and stereotyping or not, those people tend to gravitate towards the emotional connection with Tali above the shallow appearance factor with Miranda.  Jack's appearance turns a lot of people off, as does Miranda's attitude.  I sound like a fan boy, but there's really nothing to not like about Tali.  The only reason I ever see thrown around is hype backlash.
