well once the mask is taken off and the players will see her face, their "love" for this Tali character will be tested.

It's just faith that she'll be hot. All the points made about her being a good character (good personality, good shape, good acting) could also be said about other romances such as, I dont know, Miranda.


I kept hoping for a Renegade conversation option with Miranda that would let me point out that she can't possibly be as perfect as she thinks she is if she hasn't even noticed that her head looks like a wet sack of potatoes with a wig on it.  I'm sure that would have cleared all of her issues right up.

In the conquest of searching for what exactly it is that all these Tali fans like about her so much I actually started to like her less when I realised her character was devised by Bioware to please the dicks of every Tali fan out there.


You suppose that's why she gets so flustered when she comes on to Shepard? I was a little surprised by that myself. She always struck me as someone who would be more confident approaching a guy she liked. It's a pretty stark contrast compared to when we first meet her (in ME2) and she's bossing around those Marines.

I guess its the adorable nerdgirl thing that captivates most of the Tali fans. But this has gone out of control and what was just a normal fanbase is now an obsessed cult. A scary cult.



Also, DEM HIPS.

I don't really care why they like her; it doesn't matter to me anymore.

You see, I actually liked Tali before I came here and saw the thousand-page thread. Then I just envisioned her as someone else's masturbatory fantasy and all appeal was lost to me.

Tali fans. You killed Tali for me.


Ah yes, the old I hate her now because she's popular. I wouldn't be surprised to learn you also hate popular music. That's an incredibly immature attitude you have there. Judging from what I've seen...


Actually, I agree with yummysoap. (That sounded incredibly awkward)

It's not the same as an underground musician who becomes popular and is dubbed 'sellout' by fans or similar nonsense.

The issue that I, and presumably YS, take with Tali is that I now fear that the Tali character is written as fanservice rather than the initially-intended Tali. It's not an illegitimate fear to think that BioWare will spend time that could have been used for other ME content to appease the nutjobs.

Ah yes, 'Tali-rage'. A syndrome of utter devotion to a faceless, sickly purple girl. We have dismissed these claims.

Every time I look at the various "I LOVE THIS CHARACTER" threads, I fight the urge to make a Legion, Collector General, or Harbinger love thread in response.

Irrationality breeds irrationality.

And then there is some irrational irrationality inbreeding, but I digress.


A Harbinger love thread must be constructed ASAP.

This post is a bit clearer so I think I understood.

It's not the fandom in and of itself that has ruined the character for me. It is what the fandom has lead to - that being the changing of the character from how she was originally portrayed. In short, I don't want BioWare changing Mass Effect to appease fan groups.

For example, I don't know if this is the case, but imagine if the original face BW had in mind for Quarians was unattractive (I'm not saying it was/is - this is just hypothetical), but when they actually do show Tali's face, they'll use a new design because they don't want to upset the Talimancers.

Do you see what I mean?

Would you love her if she was ugly? Or scaly? Or a combination of the two?
That's not a bad adjective, actually. Scugly. Hmmm.

No, no, no...I'm not worried about being reported.
I've already recieved some messages from people (mainly from a controversial Tali unmasking video on Youtube). I'm just worried I got some sort of horrific 4chan breed of spyware.
Better run a scan -.-
