Joker is the only man in Mass effect that I would enter into a relationship with if it was 'real life'
I don't really like muscly men and I don't feel attracted to aliens although Garrus seems like a nice enough guy.
Joker makes me laugh too which makes him instantly win. It would take a bit of extra work becuase of his disability but it would be worth it I think. Plus flying the spaceship like a boss makes me go all girly.
Admittedly, yes. There is a part of me that not so secretly hopes when Mass Effect 3 comes out, you get the ability to have Joker awkwardly ask you out if you spend enough time in the cockpit. Hell, you've been fighting together for years, he's saved your life when he could use the ship as his own particular scalpel, you've saved his life when that ship went massive internal bleeding. And hell, the way you guys joke, its like you'd grown up together too.
As far as the bit about Tali, I will admit that it seems the discussion there is more or less over, but a couple of notes. 1, the Geth were not just a big threat to the Quarians, they were a big threat to everyone. As I remember, they're the ones who attacked the Citadel. Of course, I could be remembering that wrong, that's just what the humans I've talked to in ME2 seem to say. 2, Its not just a war from 300 years ago that was completely finished with a surrender/treaty/whatever. Its a war that is still going on. I won't say the Quarians aren't doing their share to keep it going, but there are Geth cells that attack on their own as well. 3, the Quarians are very, very obviously based off of a certain Middle Eastern religion/people, that lives in a certain area that is still in dispute. The only difference, really, is it's kind of like a futuristic version where they were ousted by their toasters and industrial equipment scrubbers. Not that accidentally making a tool sentient, then trying to kill it, and enslaving an already sentient race before trying to kill them are not equally bad.
Actually, they do kind of not sound equally bad... ANYWAY! 4, the entire purpose of the Geth/Quarians in this game, as evidenced by Legion, is the (possible) redemption of the Geth. Not their redemption with all Quarians, but their redemption. The point being, this game is supposed to show how all Geth in future games will be treated by all people based on how Commander Shepard handles their introduction. Yes, Tali freaks out when a member of the state actively fighting with her state attempts to send important information about her state to their state. However, after that, if handled correctly (and there's more than one way to do that), tensions cool, they see each other as equals, the steps towards acceptance are taken, and this is all, mind you, very shortly after she just finds out her father was killed by Geth in a laboratory.
Maybe what I'm really trying to say is, yes, you can call any Quarian racist towards Geth at the start of the game. You can call everyone on your ship racist towards Geth at the start of the game. However, once one of them actually starts reacting to you in a way other than with bullets, that's when You the Player are given the option to remain racist or to move on and get the rest of the crew to move on with you.
Really long, so TL;DR, I like Tali because at least she's open minded enough to get used to it. Honestly, its like convincing an Israeli to accept help from a Nazi, ex or otherwise, and regardless of whether or not said Israeli was involved in that war. Yes, the situation is different, but two sides need to talk before reconciliation can begin, and at least Tali is willing to try that (with encouragement.)
