Mass Effect 2 | Liara comments on Tali Romance

[@omegaman2846]

Shepard’s all like “Liara! I could have been inducting myself into that port years go.”

she really says that?? damn the mouth on that girl

@@dubois41 Yes. She only says it, if you cheating on her with Garrus. But the line with Thane is cold af. "Yes, you came back! And now, you're trying to replace me as a dying man's wife!"

[@zulhafiqbinmohdazrol4007]

Well Tali(and Garrus) are only crew that loyal toward Sherpard from ME1 until ME3 that can be romance-able. Other love interest like Liara, Kaidan and/or Ashley, Jack, Miranda has turned their ways from Sherpard in ME2 and ME 3, because of other priorities or they just piss off that Sherpard chose to work with Cerberus. Either way, in the end, only Tali, Garrus and Joker stayed with Sherpard until the end. So thats why i always prefer Tali(Male Sherpard) or Garrus(FemSherpard) at ME3.

[@yrpotria]

I am Tali's team but only Liara from Shep's crew worked to retrieve Shep's remains and gave him to Cerberus to revive him. So no ME2 (and 3) without Liara. Plus in ME2 she worked for future war to have intel.

[@sluttyMapleSyrup]

The biggest letdown of ME's romances have always been Tali not being bi imo, because she'll never reciprocate my FemShep's crush on her.

[@SpectreRyder]

Chakwas was in all three. Although I believe in the ME3 you had to ask her but the fact that she says yes shows her loyalty

[@gorkemkavak1965]

This narrowsighted viewpoint is all too common and super annoying Tali of all people joins at the last possible time she can to the crew (both in ME2 and ME3), initially refuses to join you in ME2 because she has a job to do first, which is the most insignificant b*llcr*p. Meanwhile Liara risks her and her friends life, her career and connections to recover and save Shepards life, before ME2. During ME2 becomes one of if not the biggest assests to the fight against the Reapers.

[@thefiendish186]

Liara really comes off a pushy here, talking about Shepard's love while standing in his cabin, over his bed, wearing a fancy dress and playing the Vigil theme in the background, ugh

[@aperfectday736]

When Liara confess that she knew about Tali that she liked Shepard 2 years ago. I immediately disliked Liara. Wrong move Liara!!

[@dubois41]

well to be fair tali was kinda illegal back then and liara was truly in love with shep,so... it's hard to blame her with all that in mind

[@6105boe]

I think it’s just a side effect of having to program this scene for both a shep that’s romancing liara and one that’s not. You can see it in some other scenes too where you have special music playing but the mood is just normal. Prob didnt think too much about it, but dont think it comes off so weird either.

With most of the other romances there's buildup and you have a choice. Liara's randomly obsessed with Shepard from the start and it feels like Bioware tries to force the relationship.

[@Protoss450]

@@Xehanort10 All 3 of the romances in ME1 are like that though. You literally only have to talk to them once or twice and they are already interested in you. It would have been the same for both Tali and Garrus had they been romanceable in the first game. BioWare just didn't think anyone wanted to romance aliens that didn't look humanoid enough. But they underestimated the horniness of the Mass Effect Fanbase lol.

I'm still kind of pissed that everyone kept saying how Tali always talked about Shepard but we never actually witnessed her doing so. I wanna know how she gushed over him, it sounds like the cutest thing ever.

[@DantetheHegehog14]

I want to be pissed at Liara for holding out on me. But then I remember that Tali wasn't technically legal in ME1. So, in a way, Liara was a real one for that

[@oprofeta6408]

Wait... How old is Tali?

[@erichunsaker4969]

​@@oprofeta6408 I had to do some research here: Tali was born in 2161 with the first Mass Effect game is set in 2183. Do a little math aaaand.... Tali was 22 in ME1, 24 in ME2, and 25 in ME3.

[@oprofeta6408]

@@erichunsaker4969 22 Isn't "legal" for quarians culture?

[@erichunsaker4969]

@@oprofeta6408 I think it is "legal" because I read that the Mass Effect 1 devs did originally plan for Tali (and Garrus I think) to be romanceable, but that was shot down during development because they thought that players wouldn't be interested. How wrong they were. Anyway, I think if that was originally a planned concept in the first game, Tali was most likely "legal" in that sense at 22, just it would have been a little strange because she was on Pilgrimage (a rite to adulthood). I could be wrong and the Quarians have a different view on what is the legal age of consent.

I mean, when you think about it, all the girls in ME1 are like a princess in distress being saved by a charming knight in silver armour. And I know Ashley doesn't fit that much in the maiden in distress category, but she was also about to get killed, so it kinda counts.

Liara loses her charm after ME1 honestly. Miranda wins on everyone.

[@poolee77]

I’m always torn between the two. By the end Liara is more of an equal to Shepard and strong enough to get on well after his death (always go destroy ending), but the romance with Tali feels more pure for some reason.

[@tooru-kun4178]

well the whole premise of the Tali romance is that you fall in love with a girl that you don't know how it looks and can't properly touch because of her immunity system so ofc it feel a lot more like genuine love. Shepard fall in love with Tali mostly because of her personality and way she acts

Shepard doesn't die if you choose destroy ending and you have more than 4000 galactic power (or 3000? I don't remember). Destroy ending with enough power is the only way to save Shepard.

[@coreymckee4844]

When i play these games i always play the legendary collection. But what makes it worth it is i play once a year as sort of a tradition. i honestly can never really just play one game. I always do the complete trilogy from start to end. But once a year as i like to build up hype and interest over time because of that. It makes it way more fun and emersive that way for me. I do this because femshep and Liara is and always will be my canon in this series. Now if i was interested in male shep and other romances, then id play more often cause i would honestly have to. 😅 But ive tried playing other ways before but could never finish. I always end up going back to liara and femshep. It almost feels wrong for me to do any different. It also helps that Jennifer Hale is my favorite voice actress in gaming. (Next to Erica linbeck ovcourse)🎉.

I love Liara. But I also love Tali. Plz help. I guess there is no wrong decision. Both romances are very close to the heart. But i think Tali has more to offer in that regard. Liara is just always so damn busy, and personality-wise almost an equal to Shepard which means BFF. They both have such cute moments though. I just broke Liara's heart in ME3 and i felt terrible, since i romanced the crap outta her in 1. But i made my decision for Tali in ME2 (after pinning Jack to the wall... Sorry Jack) The drama!!
