When you first meet Tali in Mass Effect, she’s a quirky, bashful genius on her Pilgrimage to bring something of value back to her people, the Quarian. By the second installment, she is no longer inexperienced, as her experiences throughout the first game’s events turn her into quite the badass.

Alongside her growth as a fighter, Tali also opens up a lot more as a person in the Mass Effect 2, even allowing the male version of Shepard to persue a romance with her. If he does, she adorable reverts back to her schoolgirl like attitude from the first game here and there, simply unable to contain how much she loves Shepard.

What’s interesting about this romance is that there are literal complications when it comes to making it work. Due to quarians’ weak immune system and dextro-amino acid chirality, physical acts of affection are dangerous and possibly deadly. 

Despite this, Shepard and Tali can make it work, defying the odds and creating an adorable triumph of a love story as a result. 

My main hope is that the Legendary Edition does more than simply pick a woman’s stock image phone from google, add an alien filter to it, and say that this is what Tali looks like under the mask.
