But Tali is THE One and only.



There's no place for two of them, what would we then do? Engage in a civil war?

I can't help being attractive.  I am simply constantly cursed with overpowering sexual magnetism...

Am I the only one who thinks this whole "Tali could be a romance for Femshep"-Discusion a bit pointless?



Tali is what the developers want her to be. If they don't make her "available" for a Femshep, than she simply isn't.



BTW: If I remember the bombcast-interview right, the decision was rather, that Shepard isn't homosexual. Although that refered to the male version I guess, though I wouldn't count a romance between Femshep and Liara as really homosexual, since Asari are monogender.

Somebody needs to make a poster of Tali in front of the Dragon Age protagonist in the base camp with the headline: 

Tali for Dragon Age: Awakening.

Love can be a grand, beautiful and powerful thing, aye. I can also attest to the fact that even the greatest of love - unconditional love - is not always enough. I am a romantic and it used to kill me a little bit inside to admit this but reality has taught me that yes, love can be cracked, beaten and broken to the point that it doesn't recover. Even the strongest of love. Love does not conquer all, and if it does it is by no means a guaranteed permanent conquest. That's reality. Harsh as it may seem at times.

Heretic! I will break and separate you from your loved ones for saying that love can be broken!

Unpleasant and unwanted as that is it is going to happen at some point. No one gets out alive. Such is the way of life - it is inseparable from death and vice versa.

I for one loved Ascension, if only because of all the quarians. Revelation had Saren and that was good enough, but Ascension did the trick for me

Wow, that's the closest this thread has gotten to true love

True love? what are you talking about?

KFD : No it's not a probleme...except when I fall half asleep when I read it.

Nothing, it's just between KFD's fawning and your meagre half-compliment, i just felt some real chemistry!

If Tali was into chicks,

As I see it?
Man or woman, Tali is into Shepard.
Plain and simple.

EDIT: She doesn't have to be bi or gay to be into fem shepard...It's a testament to how overlooked this concept is that such a viewpoint is even such a controversial topic: love conquers all.
It really is that simple.

Last I checked we still had a very touching moment after I saved her from getting exiled.

Everything has a start, and an end.
That is life, and it is universal.

Agreed. All things - good and bad - come to an end. Everything is just a moment. This is not to say that there isn't hope because as one good moment comes to an end it is entirely possible that it will be replaced by a new good moment and not necessarily a bad moment. And if it is replaced by a bad moment then that bad moment too will come to an end.

Technically monogender, but clearly represented as female.

Did I mention how surprised I was to even see my response quoted? Didnt I say that like, 2 Tali threads ago? Props for the thread gravedigging Cameraman.

Actually it's around half a dozen pages back. And you're quite welcome.

Is there anyone else disappointed by the designe of the Migrand Fleet in ME2. After reading Mass Effect Ascension and comparing the Migrant Fleet to the one shown in ME2.
I'd love to have a Migrant Fleet DLC for after romance content with Tali.

I haven't read "Ascension" yet - it's lying on my desk along with "Revelation" which I've begun reading. I dearly wanted to visit the Flotilla after reading about it in the ME1 Codex. I was pleased to visit it in ME2 though it did fall a bit flat of my expectations. I would like to see it in much greater size, detail and length in ME3.

You should post up a short review when you're done.  I've been tempted to read the Mass Effect books, but licensed novels have a well-deserved reputation for being utterly dreadful.

My opinion of the two books is likely similar to how yours would be once you read them, judging by your "utterly dreadful" comment.  They aren't actually dreadful, just written for elementary/early Jr. High reading levels, I think.  Don't expect multisyllabic words to crop up often.
But if you go into the reading of the books with the right mindset, one in which you recognize that you're here to learn more about the Mass Effect universe (and specifically Quarians/the flotilla with Ascension) rather than a truly engaging read that will have you on the edge of your seat, they're good enough for that purpose.

So yeah.  Don't go in  expecting Dickens, and you'll come out aces.  Really interesting stuff about the ME universe to be found in them, though.

Irrelevant since that is a non-existent hypothetical situation. However, if we are going to delve in to "what if" territory then why stop there? Cast the nets wide! There's a whole galaxy with numerous species numbering in the trillions. Who's to say that Tali might not fall for an Asari? Or a fellow Quarian? Speaking from somewhat similar personal experience as an ex-patriot who has spent more time outside of his home country than in it, I can say that I have found many women from an assortment of different cultural backgrounds attractive while at times being repulsed by some women from my own culture and yet there is still to this day certain elements of my native culture that I notice in some of the women there that draws me in like a moth to a flame. To the best of my knowledge no other women have had that going for them for me though I have loved them deeply but for different reasons. Who's to say the same won't be true for Tali'Zorah?

For once I actually admire the approach to a response on this subject (both this one and the one before). It's more thought provoking than the stuff I'm used to hearing. Anyway I cannot add anything to this cus I'm at work and this matter requires my full attention and a bit more time than I'm allowed...*looks around at angry customers*....Keelah...

I'm out of here.

I'm pleased by your response, Cutt. It was not my attention to ambush you with a barrage of responses (I was away when the discussion was still "live" yet I like to respond to comments/topics I find particularly interesting even if it is delayed). Since you are working you are at a disadvantage. Should you care to discuss this topic further at a time and place more suited for you please feel free to bring it back up and/or contact me directly.

Keelah se'lai to you.

Thanks!  I like a good trashy novel as much as the next guy, but the quality of the writing in the Mass Effect games themselves is of such a high quality that I'm not sure I could tolerate a precipitous dropoff in the prose versions.
