15 - Mass Effect 2: Tali Suite

Complete score from the Tali Missions of Mass Effect 2. Assembled from the music tracks extracted from the game.

[@TheFartman64]

amazing how a fictional character can affect you so deeply

[@OrkarIsberEstar]

i suggest you try Dragon Age 1. Charakterwise i found that game even better and affecting me than any title or character of mass effect. Dont bother Dragon age 2 or 3 though they totally messed up those

@@OrkarIsberEstar DA 1 characters weren't that great. I mean they were great enough I still remember their names and stuff for the most part. The romance options sucked for all the DA games however. Granted maybe i'm missing something as i played mostly human or dwarf in DA 1.

@The Swarm Same man, i was playing Male shep at first, but the voiceactor not as great as the femshep and i decided to play female shepard. So after the femshep story finished, i started again as male shep ONLY to romace Tali, she's so cute!

[@GenshinLover283]

And it's ironic that Koris and Gerrel basically swapped roles in 3

[@titanjakob1056]

@@GenshinLover283 nah gerrel was always like that korris always cared about the well being of his people and knew going after the geth was suicide plus he was the only one out of all the incompetent admirals wanted to make amends on how horrible their race treated the geth sure the trial was a prick move but her father was a monster for what he did so he probably assumed if tali was back she would do the same thing (plus the fact she was helping Ráal by sending him geth parts) which based off her options prior to meeting legion she might have done so Gerrel on the other hand is a war mongering lunatic who had no problem with Ràal experimenting on geth (not crazy as xen) as he says plus was pushing for war which more than likely would’ve killed them all plus the stunt he mentioned that when he was younger and ráal pulled off while it did worked was reckless

[@gzapray7203]

@@GenshinLover283 If you bother talking to the admirals before going to Alarei, you will know that Koris favors peace while Gerrel prefers open war. It is not a matter of inconsistency. You're ignorant because you're offended that Koris acted like a jerk to you while Gerrel was amicable to you, unaware of their respective stance in regards to Quarian-Geth relations.

Kristian Hansen A lot felt empty in a way ME2 never did. Started with the lack of soundtrack at the start of the game, deliberate my ass.

[@TWIST3DTWINKI3]

I know EXACTLY. I was just posting on reddit about how sound throughout the game was very odd.

[@Terlin1467]

@@TWIST3DTWINKI3 Late comment but that is what happens when EA takes over a company. IT talent gets killed off for profit. the greatest games in history have some of the smallest teams and Longest development times. While ME 2 is not one of these games you can tell most of the story of this game was already thought about by the writers for a long time.

[@filbsmoatlas1801]

06:55 - 08:00 *_* omg so awesome I LOVE MASS EFFECT!!!

[@mikaaoife6557]

Tali is literally my favorite character from the series and my first ever cosplay.

[@maxr.carlson292]

This will be an old statement. I am glad they gave Tali not only her own musical theme in ME2 but also one of the most wonderful and badass themes for any character in any sci-if game. Well done. And the combat track from the game 'Infiltration' is shared with the combat portion of Tali's theme. Only making it more epic would be renaming Infiltration as 'Storming the Collector Base'.

[@ignortotal360]

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

[@Royberg]

I really dig 4:10-5:06. It's especially great to hear on the Mass Effect 3 mission to rescue a downed Admiral Zaal'Koris just as you get inserted onto a cliffside canyon trail. You enter into the fray under the night sky of Rannoch with the moon illuminating your surroundings. Geth are out scrounging the area looking to kill off any quarian survivors of the Qwib-Qwib. I just get a feeling of calmness by soaking up the geography and nature, but am also reminded of my sense of urgency with the distant sounds of AA cannons blaring.

[@CodeineRadick]

When you retake the Alarei in mass effect 2, you clear the first room and this is the loop that plays. I would just hit the pause button and let it play while I did other things. Ended up buying recording software just to get the loop on to a track to take with me. 🤣

[@xshullaw]

Doing that really reminded me of Nightfall from Halo Reach, or Anthem from Black Ops 2. Slipping through a killing ground, enemies all over the place, trying not to get lost in the scenery. Get in, complete your objective, then get out, fast.

[@djaevulens]

I have never played the games.. but after hearing this I'm convinced that I'm going to give it a try because what I'm hearing while writing this is fucking awesome and if the game is half as good as the OST then I'm going to worship the game(s)

[@filbsmoatlas1801]

djaevulens and? you gave the games a try?

[@arbiteras]

djaevulens ME1 and ME2 are awesome,but ME3 is a mess. Tali is the best romance,try it at least once

[@GuerillaBunny]

+djaevulens I liked ME3 better than ME2. Each game has their strengths and weaknesses. Gameplay is awful in ME1. Dumb skill systems, powers are almost useless, stupid "morality" system (which persists through the trilogy, but isn't quite as bad)... But the story rocks, and manages to wrench something fresh out of all the cliches. ME2 improves gameplay, but feels like a digression. ME3 yet improves gameplay (though is far from perfecting it), but managed to mess up the exploration minigame. The last game had the best atmosphere. The ending fell a bit flat, but not as bad as people say. Mostly people raged because BioWare didn't keep all of its promises, but it was pretty clear from a fairly early stage (and by a fairly early stage in ME2 at the latest) that it wouldn't be even remotely possible. I don't think it was ever even meant to be what people expected. To me, it was pretty fulfilling.

[@johnb6913]

I agree, also useful to ignore the self-entitled children out there with their simplistic notions.

[@oxv122]

I started playing Me becasue of music too. Its Just me. Deep terrifying space 80s synth noir. Cant find similar sadly.

[@HottoysandHotCoffee]

Okay I'm a Tali romancer now. Sorry Liara but Tali is cuter, better and more loyal.

[@NakedCrook]

How is Tali more loyal than Liara, when it was Liara who went through hell and high water to recover Shepard's body when the Collectors wanted it? Fuck Tali...Liara all the way. Tali is a fucking tool. Miranda Lawson > Tali Dr. Chakwas > Tali Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani > Tali

[@HottoysandHotCoffee]

so why are you here listening to her music if you hate her so much? She backed you with Cerberus, even after what all those terrorists did to her fleet, she backed Shepard through it all, when Liara was obsessed with finding the Shadow Broker. Yeah she got Shepard's body and helped immensely, but Tali fought by you through every game, with you no matter what. I know this is falling on deaf ears and I'll get another arrogant response, but Tali is far from a tool...

[@HottoysandHotCoffee]

bpoostrander Tali is with you through it all, not busy on revenge for the Shadow Broker. My last thing on the matter. We all have personal preferences

[@TACADD]

Yeah, Team Tali! lol

[@ManUtdBoy13]

NotAnN7 Know this is a old comment but got to say one thing, pretty much all characters most be rescued by Shepard. Garrus is rescued in ME2, Liara in ME3. In ME2, Tali doesn't excatly need rescue on Freedom Progress, as she teams up because she knows it's the better idea(while Pratza doesn't). You right that she needs rescue in ME1 and on her recriutment mission in ME2 but those are the only times. Liara needs rescues in ME1 and ME3(Mars is about the same as Tali's in ME1). Loyalty can also be seen in more way then one. I would say that Tali is more loyal then Liara by the simple fact that Tali in the end have always stood behind you while Liara didn't, but on the other end then Liara made it possible for you to come back. It's hard to tell but Tali is more loyal the Liara in one way while Liara is in another. Just wanted to say this and don't want to be mean or anything so please don't missunderstand the reason for this comment :)

[@blueb0g]

I must have listened to this track over a hundred times while working.

[@DrDze]

Hello from 2023! This soundtrack still slaps. :)

[@andriyyi]

Nice job with these suites, thank you :)

[@olaokolaok]

While most of you will love the typical "epic parts" of the score i just dig 0:00 - 0:46. Gotta admit 1:14 -2:46+ is pretty cool too. MASS EFFECT IS COOL. Well, i wanted to say that ME 2 is just brilliant, after such a lovable cast of characters in ME 1 we wanted more background history and interaction with them, so what they did with ME 2 was brilliant possibly without them even noticing. GETTING LOYALTY TO EVERYONE OF THESE CHARACTERS AND MORE, MORE BACKGROUND, THEIR OWN THEMES, SOLVING THEIR PROBLEMS. Oh man, remember the first time playing ME 2 i was shocked at how big and well done was that game. I keep on commenting on ME trilogy videos and repeating how good i think these games are but i just can't stop, by far the best game series i've ever played.

[@Squadwin]

Eh, ME2 would be better if the loyality missions didn't butcher the plot and the story. I think ME4 will balance it out well.

[@Solaxe]

Squadwin They didn't butcher anything. ME2 was a necessary transition and foundation for ME3. it had to develop and bring new characters, places and problems

[@Squadwin]

Solaxe S Lets say you're right, what did we accomplish in ME2 that was necessairy and invaluable for us to beat the reapers (the core enemy of the series) in the third game?

[@Solaxe]

Squadwin Maybe not letting the Collectors fucking up entire human colonies and in result, crippling the Alliance? Gaining much greater knowledge about ME universe? Inventing Thanix cannons used as the only effective weapon against the Reapers in ME3? Starting dialog with the Geth? Destroying the Alpha Relay? Gaining countless assets like Krogans for ME3? Gaining Cerberus intelligence? (...) If you don't want the worst ending possible, ME2 is absolutely mandatory.

[@Squadwin]

Solaxe S Oh don't worry, the Alliance doesn't care at all about its colonies, the entire army doesn't give a fuck :D Yeah install some cannons there, I'm sure they'll be allright. Whos gonna care about the colonies if the armies won't come to help them? Not this guy. Knowledge about the ME universe that really didn't change much, as I said apart from the Geth/krogan missions everything else is worthless. Thanix cannons were invented before ME2 started, they can, indeed completely obliterate the collectors no sweat. Which is why the collectors are a joke of an enemy, The alpha relay is a DLC, not in ME2 so while it does indeed further the storyline, its sad because it isn't even in the base game. We needed DLC to progress it, gg. And it makes the collector plot even mroe useless, because the reapers would be here already, before the collectors even completed whatever vague task they were up to :D Gaining Cerberus intelligence? Did it help us beat the reapers? Nope :D Nope, all I need is multiplayer baby.

You're right, sorry, i'll be more specific. If you click on the 7:00 mark in the video i linked, you'll hear the part thats missing from yours. Maybe it's not a part of Tali Suite since it wasn't included in the official ost but it's definitely in the game and it's by far my favourite piece of music from ME2. It wasn't my intention to undermine your effort, on the contrary, you did a great job by uploading this extended score.

***** Except that it DOES play in Tali's Recruitment mission, during the battle with the Geth Colossus. I don't believe it plays in Tali's loyalty mission, but it does play for some reason during the "Defend Legion" segment of Legion's loyalty mission, where you have to fight off the waves of Geth while Legion is hacking the system.
