Don't get me wrong. I like Tali. A lot. But I can't bring myself to romance her. The power differential between her and Shepard is just to great. He's a decade older than her, she's barely out of her teens, and it's pretty obvious she's nursing a huge crush. This is not a relationship of equals. Shepard could take advantage of her in dozens of small ways. I'm curious to know if the romance deals with these issues at all, or if this is one subplot I should avoid for the sake of my blood pressure.

I had the same issue with the ME romances. My Paragons usually go through the first game single.

I can see what you mean. But, it seems that inter-species relationships are a common place in the mass effect universe. Also don't quarians have a longer life than humans, so wouldn't that even it out?



Besides, if your a paragon shepard you do not need to worry about shepard taking advantage of her. =D



Just my two copper pieces.

I know exactly what you mean. This is why I chose Miranda, and also didn't romance anyone in the first game.

Not really. Liara's "barely more than a child:" the asari equivalent of a teenager.

This just took it to new levels.

I was slightly less scared the first time I managed to click a lemon party link...

Wait, so Liara's is creepy on a whole nother level, that makes Shepherd a technical pedophile...

Tali is 24 in ME2, so I think it's safe to say that she's grown-up enough to make her own decisions. She seems like a confident and brave woman, not afraid to get into confrontations if need be.



Still, she does act rather awkward and shy around MaleShep sometimes, since she's in love with him, so he probably could take advantage of her in some ways, but Shepard is your character, so I doubt he'd do anything you don't want him to.

that picture is clear evidence the Tali fans should be burnt at the stake before they get out of control

Doesn't that make the Liara relationship even WORSE in your logic?

Tali is twenty-four in Mass Effect 2.

Shepard is...29 in ME, right? So 31 in ME2.

24 and 31. That seriously isn't that bad. My father is ten years older than my mother. my mother is over 15 years older than her boyfriend.

Err, she's 24 and Shepard is 31. He isn't a decade older and she isn't "barely out of her teens".

pfffftt...the asari can claim that all they want.  100 years of experience is 100 years of experience.

Oh sure she looks all shy and innocent...just waiting to cougar pounce.

Tali is 24, Shepard is about 29-31 depending on whether you count the 2 years he spends on an operating table, so it's not that huge of an age difference. I'm fairly sure some of the other romances have a larger age-gap than that.

The OP isn't being obnoxious or trying to start a flame war. He's just saying
why he doesn't want to romance Tali. He's (or she) is by no means
hating on Tali.

EDIT: Actually, I suspect you were talking about the doll picture, so I take it back.

She was considered an adolescent by quarian standards in ME 1. I guess she's two years past adolescence.
