O_Rly: ^Aside from the fact that you can't romance her in 1, you're damn right. Tali > all.

thrawn94: @O Rly Liara is clearly made out to be the canon romance, seeing as her *three*-game romantic arc is more fleshed out than Tali's, she has an entire piece of Mass Effect 2 DLC dedicated to her, she appears early on in Mass Effect 3 (unlike Tali, who shows up halfway through the game), her love scene (along with Kaidan's and Ashley's) in Mass Effect 3 is actually unique (Tali, Garrus, Cortez, and Traynor all have the same scene, choreography-wise, so you can tell Bioware just slapped it together), etc. Also, if you don't romance Tali, you don't have to have to see the horrible Photoshop job that Bioware did with Tali's face, totally ruining any sense of mystery around what the quarians looked like under the suit. Oh, and Liara can be romanced by Femshep, too, so that's a bonus. So, Liara > Tali.

Rob0Comb0: I like the best of both worlds with Tali and Liara. Liara has that reserved, nerdy aspect and Tali is just goddamn cute.

Anonymous3: There was something to like in almost all the romances. I played multiple characters saw it multiple ways. Story-wise, I really liked the Jack romance, but all non-crew romances fall apart in ME3, due to them not being around enough.

As much as I loved Tali, I always felt a bit of a dick, stealing her away from Garrus, lol! It'd have been cool to see Garrus get with Dr. Michel...if she was the doc on board, and if Shep romances Tali. They even hinted at it in the lore, and I'd have been able to Talimance in good conscience (the bromance kept me from doing so). Incidentally, game-hacking to Talimance with Femshep is also cute.

More importantly, amazing work Horsey!

Anonymous5: This went from awkward and nonsensical with other characters to actually romantic here. Nicely done.

Anonymous6: @O Rly: Just because Liara is the canon romance doesn't mean she's the better romance. The concept that Tali ISN'T an option in the first game really strengthens her character in 2, where she fell in love with Shep in the first game and wants to be with him in the 2nd but is willing to give up the chance for you the mission and your benefit.

Add to that the fact that it is difficult for the two of them to be together what with her immune system and it is a beautiful love they share, insisting of being together no matter what obstacles they face.

Plus the long wait for Tali to arrive in 3 only built the anticipation, so that when she finally came aboard the Normandy, you wanted to seize her up and sweep her off her feet. Which I kinda did.

I still love Liara (2nd romance option for me, tied with Jack) but just because Mac Walters had a crush on Liara doesn't mean that we, the players, had to choose her. All her enhanced romance scene just demonstrated his favoritism.

Regardless of all of that however, Tali will always be my #1, because as Rob0Comb0 said above, "Tali is just so goddamn cute."

Anonymous7: I really don't think there is a "canon" romance, given as Mass Effect is built to avoid any of the player choices being considered canon. Sure Liara is probably the most concentrated on romance but that doesn't make it any kind of canon. After all as you point out Ash and Kaiden get more detailed love scenes in ME3 and if there were such a thing as a canon one of those is dead by then. And I liked getting to see Tali's face. After 3 games devoted to her I'd earned it!
Also Anon 3: Garrus was a very great friend but as far as Tali goes he can take a running jump!

O_Rly: I'm going to assume you meant to direct that at therawn94, Anon 6, seeing as I agree with you. And lol at Liara being considered the "canon romance". There's no such thing and never will be.

dananon: It's true. Tali is best Romance.

I once tried another romance in a 3rd playthrough to change things up here & there. I couldn't go on & finish that run through after finding out about Garus & Tali in ME3...
