I hate Ashley. I do everything for the bitch, buy her books, visit her in the hospital, NOT SHOOT HER, bring her along on several missions, leave her drunk instead of getting upset at her, and Liara still has sex with me. Damn you Ash!

The racist human with her hormone issues, or a mysterious, alien race that's just so selfless and adorable...

Is this even a question?

Personally, I like 'em both. But what I never understood is that, if you look objectively at their attitudes and statements, Tali is just as much of a Xenophobic Hawk as Ashley is and yet only Ashley gets flamed for it.

My guess: Since Tali is an 'alien', her anti-alien views are not as offensive because their not from a 'human' point of view.

Just a thought.

That's actually the most interesting thing anyone has posted on this picture... I never thought of it that way, and now that I have you're completely right. Speaking personally, I like 'em both, too.

Tali is cute, smart and wants what is best for Shepard as well telling him that he deserves to be happy and that she can't do that.
Ash is just anti-alien not Cerberus lvls but still is. Can't think of anything really good about Ash. Sorry Ash groupies.

Not really a tough decision here.

Sorry Tali, but I'm going to have to stick with Ash. We can still be friends, right?




And now, my comment is going to be flamed by 6,000 Talimancers. Great.

Very POSSIBLE choice actually, you the RIGHT choice would be to just leave Ashley in the dust after Horizon... Effin' bitch.

Zack looks a bit young in this pic. Perhaps feminine? It's very emotional nonetheless.

Basically what Maoileoin said... I asked for him to look younger because if he looked as he did when I made him in the game, it would have looked odd.

And I don't mind him looking a bit feminine to some others. It reflects some of the aspects of his personality

If he looks young, I did my job! Part of the commission was to make him look somewhat younger, less rough. I suppose part of that came from my softening his features a little. (c:

For the record, I refuse to partake in any of the debates on this particular piece, since I commissioned it. If you don't like the fact that I love both Ash and Tali equally, too bad; deal with it

There ARE others in my predicament as well, with other characters I'm sure.

One of the best things about this game is the level of depth these characters and choices have. It is interesting to see what other people say, the choices they made and how why. (c:

I could understand it fine.

Also, I didn't even know you posted this comment because deviantart has been acting wierd lately, with deleting logs of comments, favs, etc at certain hours.

And I agree with you on your statement. Precisely why people shouldn't make such a big deal towards others about that stuff.

Impossible choice?
If you don't pick Tali, you're just mean. And racist against aliens. And potentially brain damaged. She's 'dawww' worthy to the extreme.

agreed. That's why Shepard is going to keep them separate for as long as he can before he can make his decision in the fanfic :/.

These situations can't be controlled, when you're torn between two lovers. That's why I love this piece so much, because the emotions of this choice were captured wonderfully, with Zack Shepard almost being pulled in two different directions , and him emotionally distraught.
