How do I know if peace is possible between the geth and the quarians? - Gray Textile on Brown Wooden Table

I'm basically trying to make peace between the Geth and the Quarians in ME3. I have imported save files all the way from ME1 and ME2.

My problem is that I couldn't select the peaceful option on Rannoch and I got a traumatizing video. Since it's been a long time since I played ME2, I'm not sure if I met all the requirements, and if I exiled Tali or not. If I start a new game from a ME2 Import, these are the choices I made:

Saved the rachni queen; Rescued Ashley Williams on Virmire; Chose to save the Council; Saved Maelon's data; Kept Wrex alive on Virmire; Chose to rewrite the geth heretics; Left the Collector Base to Cerberus; Survived the suicide mission with 9 squadmates; Romanced Ashley before ME2; Romanced Tali in ME2

The annoying thing is that it doesn't say if Tali was exiled or not, so I have no clue if this is my problem.

I read that there are conditions (below), and I´m aware of them, but is there a way to check how many "peace points" I have?

  • Rewrote the Heretics (0 points)
  • Destroyed the Heretics (+2 points)
  • Tali is NOT exiled (+2 points)
  • Tali has been exiled/You did not do the Loyalty Mission (0 points)
  • Resolved Legion/Tali conflict either using the Paragon or Renegade options (+1 point)
  • N7 Mission: Save the Admiral on Rannoch in ME3 (+1 point)
  • N7 Mission: Destroy Geth Squadron on Rannoch in ME3 (+1 point)
  • Completed Legion's Mission in ME3 (or no peace)

You can view (and edit) most of these decisions in Gibbed's Save Editor. Here's a screenshot showing where a couple are located:

Do you have to choose between Geth and Quarians?

Here's what they do: If you pick "[Allow the upload]", the Geth will come back online and wipe out the Quarians. Your Quarian partner will then commit suicide: even a Loyal, Romanced Tali will take her own life if you pick this, and not even the Paragon Interrupt will be able to save her.

Can you save the Geth and romance Tali?

If you're Romancing Tali, YOU MUST CHOOSE TO SAVE THE QUARIANS. If you choose to save the Geth, Tali will commit suicide in grief, and not even a Loyal Tali with a Locked-In Romance will be able to prevent this from happening. We repeat: If you choose to spare the Geth over the Quarians, Tali will die, NO EXCEPTIONS.

Can both Legion and Tali survive?

First, when debating how many Squad Mates to recruit, you need choose "Take your time. Recruit all", which means that both Tali and Legion join the squad and survive the Suicide Mission, helping you pass the first check.
