Tali.
The fact that she was attracted to you from the start, but selflessly put her own feelings aside as she didn't want to burden you with the realities of quarian physical relationship difficulties - although some of this also stemmed from the fact that quarians are generally shunned, and she was a self-conscious about this. She's loyal to you; willing to leave the flotilla for you, and even AFTER you confess that you're interested in her too, she's still willing for you to find someone else if you need a physical relationship (so she has your best interests at heart).
Plus she's awkward in a cute way and has a hot accent

Everytime I read this kind of a post...I feel I have to mention......In no way does she express any kind of attraction to you from the start.  sorry but it's the truth.  Delude yourself if you want but it's wrong.  She is loyal I'll give you that but that's about it.

Anyways, Jack is the best romance from ME2 but Liara is my favourite overall LI....without her she you would be in the ahnds of the collector's Shadow Broker style.

That's not what he said. He said she was attracted to Shep from the start, not that she showed it.

Her dialogue proves that yes, she was attracted to Shep from the start, but that no, she never showed it because of the Quarian thing, and the mask thing, and the immune system thing.

There is zero proof that she was attracted to Shep from the start especially, as you point out, if she doesn't show it so the point is invalid. 

 
Actually she does when she talks about the events that happened in ME1 and says "I watched you for so long and never thought you'd see past this" sounds like she's been into you for a while, just sayin

Besides that, Kelly tells directly after Tali came aboard the Normandy, that she thinks that Tali is interested in Shep.

riiight. When you give her the geth LD, she almost cries. Whether it was intentional or not. The chemistry was already provided by the actress.

I'm not really sure why I like Tali... Something just flipped in my brain that made me affectionate towards her. That and who whole stuck inside of a suit thing lends the Tali romance a certain tragic charm that isn't really with any of the other relationships.



The fact that purple has been my favorite colour ever since I first played Putt-Putt probably didn't help either.

Awesome!  This...so this...^^^

I could try and phrase it a bit differently, but this pretty much sums up my feelings too. Tali is about utterly selfless love.

Same here. I would add that her interests are similar to my own.  I live tech and machinery.  Building computers and working on cars are a lot of fun for me.  She was also ridiculously useful in ME1.

HA, Putt-Putt the car?  My little sister played that.  Man that game was....Special.

I think Kaidan was the most realistic person, had a wonderful voice, and was totally the kind of guy who would pick you up from work and drive you home. He also probably doesn't forget important dates, but the downside is he's probably annoyingly straight-laced and completely uninterested in going out and getting trashed, or staying home and being tied up. Safe, comforting, but insanely boring at times. On the other hand, Kaidan looks like he gives hugs and flowers and ten-minute kisses.
On the other hand, there's Garrus, another great voice, wonderful person, fun, exciting, and equally likely to bail you out of jail or be standing next to you when you get arraigned. He would hold doors open for you, and cover your six in a firefight. Great physical relationship, but high risk of ending badly (gunshot wounds, life imprisonment, starship crashing into a burning sun). He wouldn't start an argument with you, but he would argue with you if he felt he was right, and also because the makeup sex would be incredible. Oh, I think I might have crossed a line there.[quote]


This, right here.  And, said much better than I could.    I can never get into Thane.  That Rain Man memory fugue state he goes into just gives me the creeps, sorry.  The sunglasses he has now were the best two dollars I ever spent.   No more googly eyed Thane.

And, Jacob is just horrible.  Always second guessing you, and generally being an ass.  No thanks.  I require a better man, sorry....

I find Miranda attractive as she seems to be the only one the actually cares about male shep in ME2 (Jack just wants sex and so does Tali if Kelly is to be believed).

I've played through all the romances and found Miranda's to be the most shallow 
(and thats including Jacob's)

[onelifecrisis]

Yeah. Oddly, this. ^

Tali isn't so useful in ME2 but I still remember the way she stormed the citadel at the end of ME1. She totally owned those geth. It was damn impressive.

[Blaise Voltaire]

Liara because of her dedication. Seriously. Despite the awkward encounter and poorly handled reunion between her and Shepard, you still have to respect that she's the one who recovered his body.

And to top it all off, she's an insanely powerful Biotic.

[varel1]

Miranda - because she is the closest ME2 version of the type of woman I am drawn to in real life, e.g. independent, strong-willed, intelligent and extremely attractive.



That said, it is a matter of personal taste, and I can understand other players being drawn to other characters, what I cannot comprehend is why some posters feel the need to belittle other contributor's choices.

Naw. Kelly says that Tali's very interested in being more than friends. That doesn't mean she's just after sex. In fact, from the way Kelly talks about Tali's body language, it's pretty obvious that Tali's into Shep in a romantic way, not just a purely physical way.

[Markinator_123]

Miranda is my LI all the time for me. Not only is she an equal to Shepard, but she is the kind of woman I would be attracted to in real life. Now, if I had to pick a ME1 romance option I would say Liara is the choice. She is cute but also pretty strong and intelligent without being macho. Here are my opinions on the rest of the love interests



1. Tali is just fan service and I thought her romance scene was complete garbage.

2. Jack, while her romance is touching, I just do not think her and Shepard make a good couple. Jack is way too troubled to have a sustaining relationship.

3. Ashley is just an idiotic woman who I had the pleasure of blowing up on Virmire. I must say nothing of value was lost there.

I'm with you all the way. Why people feel the need to express how they dislike other people's choices is beyond me.

[Kastien]

Miranda was the obvious choice for me. She acted as sort of a counter-point to Shepard, being the Cerberus super-soldier where Shepard is the Alliance/Spectre super-soldier. She much less of  a "follower" of Shepard or another person caught up in his wake of awesomeness, and more of a leader in her own right who eventually comes over to Shepard's side.

Additionally, personality-wise she's far more interesting. They give her the whole ruthless logical demeanor, but then give her hidden emotional attachments and issues. Plus you can see her opinion of Shepard change as the story progresses, from the beginning where she really doesn't like him, to the end where she quits Cerberus to follow him.

[Keltoris]

I'd have to say Jack. There's something about her that makes me want to hold her and tell her everything will be alright.

Exactly. The whole conversation explains it even better. Shepard asks her what she really wants herself and Tali goes on about how she has watched Shepard all these time, even as early as Ferros and then finish it with "I watched you for so long and never thought you'd see past... this". The only reasonable interpreation of this is that Tali is attracted to Shepard already in ME1, but is too shy/awkward to do anything about it and she is convinced Shepard wouldn't be interested in her anyway, because she is confined to her suit.

/Edit. The whole "I watched you for so long" conversation is the most beautiful part of the whole romance imo, and you can actually miss it, because it's optional.

"My choice is the only choice. Your choices all suck. Thus I am obviously superior to you, unless you agree with me."

It's nothing more than chest-beating, fuelled by poor self-esteem and a distinct lack of self-confidence. It's narrow-minded too, but narrow-minded-ness is generally a symptom of the above, rather than the cause. "Anything I don't like, no one else is allowed to like either, because my opinion is the only one that matters."

It's obvious that these people have some serious psychological issues that they can work through via the anonymity of the internet.. So mostly I ignore 'em, and let them vent in their little corners.

Personally, I'm a roleplayer, so the question "Why do you like your love interest?" makes no sense to me. I have a soft spot for Tali, because Liz Sroka's voice work really brings the character alive - But I don't have a love interest. My Shepard's do. And they each have different ones, for different reasons.

[CrazyCatDude]

Honestly, my FemShep went for Liara because, well, she's sweat, and Williams is straight. In 2, she went for Kelly, because Kelly is easy, and the game won't let FemShep romance Tali, who my Shep has wanted since a back alley on the Citadel in the first game. Heck of a crush there. Hell, she'd be willing to have her quarters turned into a clean room for Tali. Stupid game.



My male Shep Romanced Ashely during ME1, because there's just something about a woman with an assault rifle. After she told him where to get off in ME2, hit romanced Miranda, but ended up feeling like a jerk, because of Tali. If I play through on Maleshep again, he's going straight for Tali

[Jenova65]

Kaiden, I'm a one man woman! If I had only played ME2 then Thane, he is wonderful too, but Kaiden always wins with me.
EDIT - Forgot to say why, lol. Kaiden, because he is a hero, an honourable man looking to do the right thing, he is loyal, passionate and deep *sigh*
Thane is cool and enigmatic, you would want to know more about him, IRL.

Yes, pretty much. It's all subjective, arguing about who is the better LI is rather pointless.

What, you don't think that people can like characters more than others outside of roleplaying? =p

[8erserker]

I liked Ashley because she was the more challenging one to get. Liara was too easy and awkward. I moved onto Miranda because I saw it as an easy way of getting intel on Cerberus.



And she's hotter.

I adore Tali but never pursue her because I play Male Shep as in his mid to late thirties and she seems a tad young for him.

Tali's 24, Shepard's 29. That's 5 years and the IMO the gap will mean less and less as time goes on. 5 years isn't too much. That's just my opinion though.
