10 Video Game Characters Fans OBSESSED Over (Commenter's Edition)
5. Tali - Mass Effect
Mass Effect's focus on its sprawling story allowed gamers to experience a narrative unlike any other. But for all the games' mind-blowing action and epic boss fights, it was the relationships between the characters you remember most, especially with your companions.
And there are few characters that moved us like Tali'Zorah nar Rayya. Despite her face being hidden by a protective facial covering, many gamers found themselves caring more about your quarian ally than anyone else.
Seeing her friendship with Garrus grow warms your heart. Her obsession with The Geth is fascinating and tragic. Watching her gradually find her self-worth throughout the trilogy is uplifting.
Although you couldn't romance with Tali in the first game, BioWare saw how popular she had become and added this feature in the sequels.
Even though she wasn't meant to be a full squadmate in part three, franchise writer, Patrick Weekes, encouraged the team to include her to appease fans. This means the story of Mass Effect was changed, not once, but twice, purely because of Tali's popularity.
