While I'm largely indifferent to the ship (they felt more like brother-sister to me), Tali/Garrus seemed like a serious case of "pair the spares" (to use TV Tropes vocab, lmao) to me. The fact they also bumped Kal'Reegar off-screen -regardless if you saved him in ME2- in hindsight felt like they were getting him out of the way to facilitate this if neither was romanced, considering Tali/Kal had a bit of a following beforehand.

tbqh, I kinda wished Garrus hooked up with Dr. Michel instead if you didn't romance him. Considering they had some sort of professional connection in ME1 (that was very vaguely hinted at), her letter in ME2, and the fact you can bring her on board the Normandy in ME3 instead of Chakwas if you choose, it seems like a wasted opportunity.

This so much.
I've always seen Tali/Garrus as brother-sister too.

If I recall correctly, there was a big stint in the bioware forums about wanting the crew members to have romances amongst themselves too so I felt it was "wrong" only because it was obviously a pandering move.

In fact, a lot of Mass Effect 3 felt like either cameo (oh hey, I know you) or pandering to the fans and I think that really impacted the story negatively.

[ex_mek82]

Their dialogue in ME2 at the Citadel (the "I have a shotgun" one) struck me as a familial type of exchange, so I've seen them as brother-sister ever since.

I get that people wanted more moments between the crew outside of Shepard (to this day, I weep that we never got any Thane-Samara exchanges in ME2, among others), and to be honest, I'd probably be more open to the idea of Tali/Garrus in a romantic context had they said more to one another in ME2, especially during their loyalty missions. (I recall Tali's writer saying he'd wished Garrus had extra dialogue during that, but it all came down to budget reasons. A pity)
