I'd say the sex scenes detracted from the game.  I mean, when I let Kaiden die on my first playthrough, I grieved by doing a jig and singing "I'm gonna get some booty!"  On my subsequent playthroughs, I didn't even bother with the romanceable crewmembers.

On the other hand, Tali and Shep kinda had a BFF thing going on, which could have conceivably blossomed into an honest romance.  Really, a Tali romance would have felt so much more deep and meaningful to me.  Just imagine, Tali and Shepard in each others arms; never able to consumate their relationship, but simply content in the presence of one another.

The thought of it makes me want to baw my eyes out.


How do you make love to a woman who cannot breathe in your atmosphere? She wont even take off her suit for christ sake! (LOL) If we hear more on Tali's story, I'd love to find out whats up with her. Shes too much of a droid and robot-like for a romance though.

A relationship doesn't necessarily involve intercourse, does it?  A Tali romance wouldn't be cheapened with sex.

Yeah Stage the reason it worried me is it sounded like you meant break their spirit.

For those of you having technical issues I experienced none of these, but that's cause I played the PC version ftw.

I had forgotten that it was released on PC. I would of gotten it for that if I hadn't bought it on impulse.

In Mass Effect, I don't have time for all these pseudo-romances, and I am glad the game didn't have to have me go through that. I do like Tali though. She has this cool "geek" factor about her. Anyhow, I hope Mass Effect 2 has an ability to play it like Elite, where you can run cargo and set up shops that generate revenue.

Simple. Give Tali sterilized quarters that require entry via airlock. Shepard dons an enviro suit/body condom. And well you can imagine the rest.

Thats the same exact situation as before, but in reverse. Someone wont benefit from it. Possibly neither. :(

Not really unless you know something I don't. Tali's costume isn't a body condom. If it were Alasted would mentioned it by now....or maybe he wouldn't have

I thought Tali had to wear a suit because the flotilla was incredibly clean, and environments outside the Migrant Fleet had too much bacteria. Her weakened immune system couldn't handle it. I don't think we want Shepard pumping his genetic material into her.

Current rate is:  -18,262 per month    
Avge over last 6 mths          
Negative number means 360 is outselling PS3 by that amount per mth on avge
