I think that was more because they originally were going to let make shep bang Kaidan in the first game and then didn't.

HIJK posted:So out of 20 years of games there’s only 1.5 examples of fanservice affecting romance options? That Bioware and their insane fan service for horny fans.  If people like a character, what's the harm in bringing them back, especially when Cullen fit well into the story of Inquisition?

I'm surprised no one mentioned Tali. As much as I am for Tali + Shep, it's the most obvious one to me. Not able to be romanced in the first game, but then is in the next game due to fans complaining they couldn't romance her.

Tali should have stayed pure and virginal and not had nerds talk about how her sweat would taste

Tali is a fairly violent adult that shoots people and takes on adult responsibilities like trying to protect her family and spaceship, those don’t scream “teenager” to me.

And Varric and Aveline turned out to be the least controversial characters in DA2. Still have their haters of course but a fraction of the hatedom hat the four romance options receive.

Torrannor posted:I'm still mad Alistair was straight I'm still mad both Miranda and Jack were straight in spite of the fact Jack's backstory involves her sleeping with a man and a woman. Granted, because it's Jack, it wasn't a happy circumstance and they were potentially abusing her so maybe it wasn't voluntary. But ME, compared to DA, is just plagued by a lack of homosexual relationships. Plus I've heard a rumor Miranda was supposed to be a bisexual option but they didn't go through with it. Can't confirm this, though. But I was happy with Zevran and Leliana. I like Al but not in that way.

I didn't especially mind Jack being straight (although I think DA2's "playersexual" system is the best for games). But I did mind that she announces your femshep is not worth talking to any more because she's a woman and Jack is straight, even though you did her drat quest and everything. That's just a slap in the face for being female.

Tali's romance arc in ME2 pretty creepy because it comes off like Anime Senpai Shepard where she's presented as a teenager in whatever Quarian years are and we know Shepard is almost 30 at the time of ME2.

I never romanced Tali so I wouldn’t know, I just can’t imagine her being a teenager when she had such an adult manner and responsibilities weighing on her. She was quite chipper yes, but young adults are often chipper.

Did Tali ever act particularly naive or childish in the first game? Aside from the "rite of passage" being so commonly coded as an allegory for coming of age in media, I never got that sense from her. If anything, Liara and Garrus seemed like the youngest ones on the crew. I always interpreted the Pilgrimage less as a "now you are legally an adult" than something more akin to... like, buying your own house for the first time or getting married (moving to a new ship and getting your new name, respectively), where you "become an adult" by establishing a more permanent identity for yourself. e: of course, she does have some anxiety in 2, but given that it only ever comes up when flirting (at least from what I remember), I chalk that up more to a clumsy/lazy attempt at them writing her as a stereotype of the shy nerdy girl.

One argument for her being in her early twenties is the quarians probably are smart enough to not let teenagers run around across the galaxy on their own in the hopes they might bring something useful back and not die.

I only really played through all the Mass Effects once, with a manshep, and never hosed anyone, because this is a military ship goddamnit, get off my dick. Though I believe the Asari may have gotten psychic babies with me at the end of 3.Dawgstar posted:One argument for her being in her early twenties is the quarians probably are smart enough to not let teenagers run around across the galaxy on their own in the hopes they might bring something useful back and not die.

According to the Mass Effect Wiki she was 22 in ME1. "In 2183, she is on her Pilgrimage..." and "Tali was born in 2161 aboard the Rayya."

Tali was only naive in the “gets set up for an obvious ambush” way, I think Liara got some “barely an adult by asari standards” as reasoning for why none takes her research seriously.

Tali is the Mission Vao/Imoen/Nahlia/of the Mass Effect games. She’s technically adult and does “adult things” sure but her demeanor is meant to remind you of someone whose out to learn about the world with the player characters help and has child like tendencies. There’s a lot more than that but BioWare stick to the same few archetypes for every game.

That’s how I saw the whole pilgrimage stuff too Liara in the first game came off more like the young, shy nerd girl, like tripping over herself in your first ship conversation with her or her telling the whole crew “I’m 112, considered young by my people.”

They should have had Tali take her helmet off and be revealed as a tentacle monster. Although knowing the internet that would still turn some people on.
