The one time I explained why I like Tali as a character, I got flamed by another Tali fan because apparently my idea of the character didn't fit with his. It was frustrating.


Who was it? Most of the people in the thread are very level headed and calm, we only have a couple of beserk buttons




Couple to many i suppose :blush:

I was just reading through the thread and I did find one troll so far but it was really obvious and actually you all were probably nicer to him than he deserved.

I never meant to insinuate that you were. I have always viewed the Tali thread as "a bunch of cool people with a couple of rule-34 drawing weird eggs floating around". Most of the people I see with Tali signatures and whatnot are good posters.



Honestly the fanbase which I posess the most disdain for is Zaeed's. Then again, they're SUPER easy to troll, so that's always fun.

The first time I discussed something about Tali's character, I was also flamed because my idea of the character didn't fit with the other poster. I'm not going to mind the obsessive support, because I am a geek. I will mind the single-minded groupthink.

The fact it was my first time to bother discussing the character only to be met with that type of resistence lends itself to a lasting impression. First impressions, you know.

Suppose you can fall on the bad day of any fanbase, but I've espoused quite a few nontraditional viewpoints about other characters without such a reaction.

Most of the people in the thread are laidback and cool. It's just the outliers that ruin the whole thing for everyone. What can I say, it's the internet - you're going to find people who are not easy to agree with.



So how about that Garrus?



Besides Batman, who does Garrus remind you of? In some regards, he reminds me of the Punisher, but less ruthless.

So basically you're saying that we hate and flame people with conflicting viewpoints??? All of us, every single Talimancer (becuase thats what I am and I'm damn proud of it) hates everyone who isn't?

I don't think playing the same romance each time makes you obsessed or anything like that. As they say, "to each his own", and "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Besides, thanks to the modern miracle of YouTube, whoever's curious about other romance scenes and such can see anything they want there. :D


This especially in ME2 where the romances all have like ten thousand variations.

Just look at Garrus.

Did you cheat on somebody with him?  If so who?  Kaidan, Liara?

Did you paragon in both games?

Did you renegade him in both games?

Did you paragon him in one and renegade him in the other?

Tali's the same way: Exiled or cleared?  Cheater or not a cheater?  So on and so on.  There's tons of variations.  I pretty much always romance Garrus in my playthroughs and I think I have yet to do it the exact same way twice.

Garrus is like what would happen if the punisher and batman mated.....ok forget i said that. Garrus does remind more of the punisher and batman, would deadpool work too? Nah, he has a sword i think.

There's a few guys out there like zulu_DFA who I respect, but for the most part, any topic where I troll Zaeed produces a drastically higher quality of entertaining enraged responses than any other character.

He reminds me of the Protoss for some reason, in fact just seeing a Turian reminds me of them too. I don't know why, maybe it's just because their skin color is the same or because Garrus' theme has some parts that are similar to the Protoss' theme in Starcraft.

No we are not, we are saying that there is a few people who do in your thread. We don't flame anyone in here with conflicting view points. Debate and discuss, maybe but its rarely any hate or flame.

Just curious as to how all of those things will play out in ME3. Quite a bit of variation as you said. Apparently, Bioware wants to "go all out" in ME3 in terms of consequences for decisions because the logistical dilemma of porting ME3 to ME4 does not exist. I just hope they don't character assassinate Garrus if you decided to make him renegade both times (which I did).

I also didn't realize the Garrus and Miri crowds were close. In my experience most Miri supporters I've encountered didn't really like Garrus because he was the closest competitor for the "second in command" spot. Again, not attempting to lump sum her fandom or anything. I appreciate the character, but I've definitely gotten attacked on this very basis several times. (One in this very thread only last week sometime actually. I forget the exact page number.)

But... can he survive a zergrush? :P

(of course he can, it's Garrus)

I always loved Protoss. So comparing him to that is good enough for me.

Hmm...I never really saw the connection. I suppose Turians and Protoss are both proud warrior or military races.
