24? Well that makes it a bit better. She reads much younger. I thought she was 20 or so.

Here we go… again.

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.

24 years old is barely out of her teens? Really?

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

and there a quarians on the flotilla who are already asking her to be an admiral.

the "she's too close to a kid" thing does not fly. sorry.

Okay OP, I've seen the Talimance through, not personally, but there are males in my household as well. Letting you know, it's really sweet, it's obviously something she wanted too, and at no point (keep in mind I'm a girl) was I like, wow that was just wrong!



It's probably one of the better done romance plots.

Heebies, finally stopped laughing.

Quarians and Humans have similar life spans. Shepard was mid-late 30s in ME1? Shepard wouldn't be aging since he was dead for the past two years, so Tali gained some time. A ten or so year difference isn't cradle stealing exactly and has a large precedence in human culture.

As Pronto said, a Paragon Shepard won't be taking advantage of the relationship. A Renegade Shepard can be taking advantage of any of the relationships.

it's a 5 to 7 years different, I know ppl in real life who's been in relationship with that age difference, some of them are even married now so /shrug

[R34P3RR3D33M3R]

Tali's 24, Shep's 31 (and you could subtract 2 years from that for being dead)

Shep was 29 in Mass Effect I believe.

If she's old enough to be good at shooting people in the face with a shotgun, I'm going to go out on a limb and say she's old enough for romance.



But to answer the OP's question, no, the issue isn't ever brought up during any of the interactions with her.

[badrobot2]

If she's old enough to lead a squad, lead a research team on a dangerous planet and head off on a suicide mission, she's old enough to choose she loves.

[cvantez]

I had this same concern the first time I played through. But, as the game progresses you find out more about Tali and it turns out that she's actually a competent leader that inspires the people who follow her (just look at her recruiting mission). She totally has her **** together and is clearly on the fast track for playing increasingly important roles in the Quarian Flotilla when you pick her up. Sure, she's young and awkward as hell, but don't confuse that for immaturity.

No need to apologize. My post was merely a statement of fact.

Honestly, if I wanted to romance Tali then I wouldn't feel like I'm taking advantage of her. I don't want to, though, so I think if I did romance her then I would feel like a d-bag.

As I keep saying with these conversations, it's all down to personal interpretations.

EDIT: I use way too many commas.

If Tali's leading strike teams into geth territory, and considered the foremost expert on the geth, and has successfully completed her pilgrimage, she's an adult.

[kennyme2]

Well this way, Shep has a way of assuming direct control.

Remember that the quarians have a demonstrated blindspot when it comes to their admiralty and the intelligence of said group.

I mean, we've got Admiral Xen'Morrigan with her "I'll enslave the geth again and hope they don't rise up once more!" ideas.

Then we've got Admiral Rael "I'm impatient, let's network geth together and ignore safety protocol for great justice! Oh noes, geth are loose!" Zorah.

And then we've got Admiral Loghain.

Besides Tali's aunt who we don't see enough of, and Admiral Qwib-Qwib, the quarian admiralty is full of idiots. And Qwib-Qwib has his mental lapses too.

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.

Shepard is only 3 years older than her.

Also, I'm gonna go with the 'you're just a creep' option.

That, and if you play a renegade shepard, tali's crush turns into a weird obsession with abusive guys.

Tineye.org disagrees. It's on at least three other sites. I won't link them, as I suspect they could get me banned.

Well that's how every romance plays out. Don't get me started on the freakshow that is Liara in ME1.

[GenericPlayer2]

I haven't romanced her myself, but I don't see an issue with people who do. You saved her from thugs on the Citadel, completed her pilgrimage for her, helped her on Freedom's Progress, saved her again on Haelstrom, concealed the truth about her father and (possibly) got her acquitted at her trial. If she doesn't put out after all that, it would be creepy!

Actually, could you expand on this?  I could use a good laugh at Liara's expense.
