As Garrus and Tali are two of Shepard's most loyal friends, they're not going to try to steal the Commander's partner. Thus, the only way you can initiate the relationship between the pair is to avoid romancing either of them — don't worry, there are plenty of other great romantic options for Shepard. If you're not in a relationship with Garrus or Tali in Mass Effect 3, then you might notice them speaking a lot on the Normandy, with some of their conversations being flirty in nature.
Eventually, right before heading to Earth for the trilogy's final mission, you can catch the two embracing in the Normandy's main battery the room where Garrus does his calibrations. When caught, the two lovebirds will try to lie about what they're doing, and by hitting the talk prompt on one of them, Shepard can give their blessing , and the romance is complete. She explains that her people struck first to try and stop the geth before the war started, but underestimated how far the geth had developed.
Shepard can debate this with her, pointing out that the quarians basically attempted genocide against another sentient species. At first Tali is very excited about being on board the Alliance 's most advanced vessel, but she begins having problems. She can't sleep because she's not used to a ship that runs so quietly to a quarian, a quiet ship means a dead engine or worse, a malfunctioning air filter. She also says that compared to the crowded conditions of the Migrant Fleet, the Normandy feels disturbingly empty, "it's like half the crew is missing.
Tali enjoys visiting the crowded, noisy Wards on the Citadel because they feel like home, and she particularly likes the music in Flux , hoping to take a copy back to the Flotilla. If Shepard treats Tali with respect, she is very grateful, explaining that her people are usually treated like second-class citizens. On Virmire , at the salarian camp, Tali is nervous about the upcoming assault on the base, but promises she will "fight with fire" for Shepard's sake.
After the mutiny, when Shepard steals the Normandy and heads to Ilos , Tali enjoys the adventure of it all, but wonders what the Council would do if the Citadel Fleet caught up with them. Shepard is sure Tali's father would pull strings to keep his little girl out of jail, but Tali isn't convinced: stealing ships is a capital offense amongst the quarians, stating that "he'd probably want to execute us himself.
If Tali goes with Shepard to Ilos, she finds the planet eerie and feels as if they are trespassing there. She claims the quarians once tried to find Ilos as a new potential homeworld, but they never expected it to feel so unwelcome. After speaking to Vigil , Tali is saddened by what happened to the Protheans —like her people, the Protheans tried to fight back against the machines, but eventually lost everything.
If Shepard chooses to partake in an Alliance campaign to drive the geth away from the Armstrong Nebula , a cache of data may be found in a terminal at the main geth base on Solcrum , detailing the evolution of the geth since their split with the quarians. Back aboard the Normandy, Tali asks for a copy of the data if she is spoken to. Though it is heavily encrypted and might take years to decipher, it is a perfect gift for her Pilgrimage. Shepard can agree to her request, or refuse—it is classified Alliance data, after all, and official appeals for access can be taken down the line.
If Tali receives a copy of the data, she is very grateful as it will enable her to return to her people once the mission is over. She reiterates her pledge to help stop Saren. If Shepard refuses, Tali isn't sanguine at the prospect of the Alliance actually releasing the files to the Migrant Fleet.
She pouts at Shepard putting humanity's interests at the expense of the quarians, and she opts to leave the crew as soon as the mission is over—in order to find something of equal value and complete her Pilgrimage on her own.
She also gained a new environmental suit, reflecting her status as a mature adult quarian. In , she led a mission to the human colony of Freedom's Progress , searching for a missing quarian named Veetor'Nara who had been helping the colonists as part of his Pilgrimage. Tali and her team arrive to find Freedom's Progress eerily deserted, but with the security mechs activated.
Tali guesses Veetor is responsible for turning the mechs on. During the search for Veetor, Tali runs into Commander Shepard—who arrived to investigate the disappearances with Jacob Taylor and Miranda Lawson , and whom she believed was long-dead during the Normandy's destruction. Tali is initially thrilled to find Shepard alive, but is surprised and disappointed to see the Commander working with Cerberus , due to the organization's anti-alien reputation, and recent act of sabotage against the Flotilla.
Tali convinces herself that Shepard is undercover and, hopefully, working to bring Cerberus down. If Shepard gave Tali the data from the rogue geth two years previously, then Shepard could ask Tali if the geth data helped her complete her pilgrimage; to which Tali said that it did, which convinces her that even though the Commander now works for Cerberus, it's still the same Shepard. After finding Veetor, and evidence that the Collectors are behind the colony's disappearance, Shepard decides whether to let Tali return the traumatized quarian back to the Flotilla or hand him over to Cerberus for further interrogation Tali's response is determined by this decision.
Regardless of Shepard's choice, they part ways as Tali returns to the Flotilla: she has an important mission in geth-controlled space that she couldn't discuss. This mission is, in fact, on the planet Haestrom to gather data on the planet's prematurely dying sun.
As Haestrom is deep in geth territory, Tali travels with a contingent of quarian marines, including Kal'Reegar , for protection. Unfortunately, a geth patrol ship sights the quarians and begins dropping troops; the quarian marines are killed and Tali is trapped inside a building with the data she has gathered.
Fortunately she is contacted by Shepard, who came to Haestrom in the hope of recruiting her. After fighting their way through the geth, meeting Kal'Reegar, and destroying a powerful Geth Colossus , Shepard's team manages to rescue Tali, who agrees to join Shepard's cause. She explains that the data she has gathered on Haestrom's sun proves it is dying too quickly, possibly as is elaborated later due to dark energy affecting the mass of the star.
Despondent over the deaths of her friends during the mission, Tali angrily hopes that the Admiralty Board will put this information to good use, and make it worth such a terrible cost.
Aboard the Normandy SR-2 , Jacob welcomes Tali warmly, but she dismisses him, reiterating her skepticism towards Cerberus' intentions. She makes it clear that she is joining the mission for Shepard's sake, not Cerberus'; if Shepard dealt with Cerberus experiments back in , Tali reminds the Commander that Cerberus thought that enslaving Thorian Creepers and rachni was a good idea. In parting, Tali is even more disturbed to hear that the new Normandy has an AI. After some time aboard the Normandy, Tali receives a disturbing message from home.
She informs Shepard that the Admiralty Board has charged her with treason. Tali asks to be taken to the Flotilla to discover what the charges are, and plead her innocence. During the events of the mission, it is revealed that the admiralty board has decided to change Tali's title to Tali'Zorah vas Normandy. Even after her loyalty mission is completed, she will keep this title, regardless of the outcome of the mission. After both Tali's and Legion's loyalty missions are completed, a conflict arises between each other when Tali catches Legion scanning her omni tool for information on the Flotilla to be sent back to the geth.
Legion maintains that it is merely warning the geth of the threat they face from the quarians' tests and their plans to attack the geth. Unless Shepard intervenes impartially, the Commander will lose one of their loyalties. If the conflict is resolved without Shepard siding with Tali or Legion, Tali thanks Legion for agreeing not to transmit the data back to geth and offers non-classified information on the Flotilla to Legion instead.
If Shepard sides with Legion, then the Commander loses Tali's loyalty, but it can be regained in a later conversation. Tali is a potential romance option for a male Shepard.
When Tali first joins the crew of the Normandy, Yeoman Kelly Chambers informs Shepard that Tali may wish to be "more than just good friends" and describes the noticeable signals in her body language. Kasumi Goto also notices the signs, telling Shepard that he's "all she talks about" and that he'd better be good to her. After completing her loyalty mission, Tali takes on a small fever and tells Shepard what life inside her suit is like.
She says that quarians are in their suits their whole lives and that the most intimate thing that they can do with another quarian is link their suit environments.
It can be dangerous and is considered their most sacred form of trust. Tali accidentally lets it slip that she trusts only Shepard that much. She initially acts nervous, stumbling over her words, and can even be accused by Shepard of blushing, though she blames it on her fever.
Eventually, she confirms the Yeoman's thoughts, revealing that since the start of their adventures together fighting Saren, she had developed feelings for Shepard.
Until this point, however, Tali was afraid to act on her feelings because she doubted that he could see who she truly was under her mask. She is happily surprised when Shepard proves her wrong by telling her how he feels the same way about her. Tali later apologizes for putting him on the spot, saying she was "unprofessional and selfish".
She tells Shepard that he "deserves to be happy with someone" and doubts that she can do that for him. But Shepard says that he doesn't want to be with anyone else, he wants to be with Tali, and he'll do everything he can to make it work. Overjoyed to hear this, Tali tells Shepard that she wants this relationship to be real, that she must "feel [his] skin against [hers].
She thus asks that Shepard give her some time until she can adequately make herself ready. Shepard can also get intimate advice from Mordin Solus , who will suggest Shepard "self-sterilize", citing oral contact as dangerous, and forwards information packets regarding quarian physiology and positions comfortable for both species to Shepard's room.
Shortly before the Normandy's entry into the Omega 4 Relay , Tali nervously goes to Shepard's room saying that she has taken several antibiotics and "herbal supplements" to bolster her immune system. Speaking nonstop a "defensive mechanism" , she becomes visibly nervous about removing her bio-suit and having her first intimate experience.
Shepard eases her worries and proceeds to remove her mask, viewing her face unobstructed for the first time. Her fears gone, Tali pounces on Shepard and passionately kisses him as the scene fades to black. Furthermore, if Tali survives the suicide mission, she informs Shepard that although she is "running a fever," has a "nasty cough," and her sinuses "are filled with something [she] can't even describe," "it was totally worth it.
Should Shepard choose to bring Liara aboard the Normandy to catch up after completing the Lair of the Shadow Broker , she will ask Shepard what he is fighting for and whether it is a chance to give Tali a new homeworld. If Shepard answers in the positive, he claims it is because Tali is important to him. In reply, Liara reveals that Tali has been awestruck ever since she joined him two years ago, to which Shepard wishes Liara could have mentioned it to him at the time.
Liara then reveals that had she told Shepard then, it would have ruined the fun of him finding out on his own.
If Shepard had romanced Liara in and later chose to just remain friends, Liara will instead say that though she was naive, she had a vested interest in "not adding any more competition. If she survived the suicide mission, Tali returns to the quarian fleet following Shepard's return to the Alliance. Due to her expertise with the geth, the Admiralty Board requests Tali's assistance in their campaign to retake Rannoch.
If Tali was not previously exiled from the fleet, the Admiralty Board appoints her as admiral in place of her father; otherwise, Tali lends her aid in secret. Tali reunites with Shepard when the Normandy joins the quarians in the war against the geth. In the Normandy's conference room, they exchange introductory pleasantries after meeting with the admirals. In Mass Effect 1 , Shepard can discover that she's not used to such a quiet vessel, which usually means something's wrong on a quarian ship.
As soon as the first game, Tali will faithfully fight by Shepard's side and provides the team with important intel along the way. Though Tali may leave Shepard's command at the end of Mass Effect 1 , she returns in 2, this time, as a love interest only for male Commander Shepard. Some might find it unfortunate that Tali can't be romanced in Mass Effect 1 , but if they continue on with the trilogy, her story arc is rewarding. Tali returns in Mass Effect 2 having completed her pilgrimage, meaning she's a young adult who's proven her worth aboard the Normandy.
Tali is the first former squad member Shepard will be asked to recruit in a dossier. During this mission, make sure to save Kal'Reegar by telling him to stand down, which increases Tali's loyalty levels.
Tali or Shala'Raan if Tali died in Mass Effect 2 will protest this decision: since the Quarians are already attacking the Geth , uploading the code will cause the Geth to retaliate and wipe them all out. Initially, you're given the option to pick "Upload the code" or "We're letting the geth die".
Similar to Virmire , this is actually a false choice; it doesn't matter what you pick here, the true decision comes immediately afterwards. Below is how each plays out, and what you need to do in order to unlock the Persuasion options.
They will sacrifice themselves to make this happen, and the Geth fleets gain full sentience. Their fighters will overwhelm the Quarian fleet and wipe them all out.
Your Quarian companion will witness this on the ground, seeing Quarian ships burn up in Rannoch 's atmosphere. If your companion is Tali , she will remove her mask and commit suicide by letting herself fall off the cliff.
You will be given a Paragon interrupt to try and save her, but it will be unsuccessful. If your companion is Shala'Raan, she'll shoot herself in the head. After their death, the Quarians will continue to attack the Geth fleet and destroy them. These are two of the hardest-earned options in the game, and have Shepard make a plea to the Quarians to call a ceasefire so that both them and the Geth can live.
