Personally, I'm of the opinion that I do NOT want to see Tali's face, I however do want to see a quarians face and this is the way I'd show it in ME3....taking a page off of Dragon Age: Origins====>

I don't really care about seeing Tali's face, I just want to know what quarians in general look like. If they show us what a random unmasked quarian looks like, people can still project the details of theirTali-fantasy onto the helmet, least amount of butthurt 'she's not pretty enough' fans.

What annoys me is that Shepard should know what quarians look like, even though we the players do not.

I mean, yes quarians for some reason obscure their face... (Is there an in-game reason why their helmets obscure their features?) However, there are individuals in ME who know what quarians look like. I imagine Mordin Solus might; some doctors certainly do. It's safe to assume that there are krogan and asari who remember quarians without their suits - e.g., the asari bartender remembers what they look like. It's also safe to assume there are databanks which have this information - it was only a few centuries ago, after all.

And last but not least, Shepard could just ask a quarian, like, say, the one on his ship: "So, what do quarians look like?"

Hehehe, that is quite an adorable picture.

@ lastspawn: Yeah, in-universe Shep probably does know what they look like. No reason why not. Stepping over dead quarians all over the place in ME2, Fornax (doesn't it mention having quarian models? I doubt all of them appeal to the suit fetish), Chakwas, Wrex/other old krogan, Matriarch Athetya, Space Wikipedia...no end to possible resources, really.



I think the masks obscure their features for some reason having to do with UV or general light sensitivity. If Tali really wanted Shep to see her face, she could just wear a clear faceplate. Gotta be a reason why not.

I think the reason is no ingame mechanic and no ingame lore (yet).
Tali is made to be hidden behind the suit. It makes her a mystic appearance.
And if you look at that ridiculous thread that always flies around on the first forum page, Bioware's concept worked.

Right, but ME is very good (even if inconsistent) about giving explanations and removing arbitrariness from the game. There's gotta be some reason why she can't wear a clear visor - so what is it? It could be something practical, it could be something cultural... whatever the out-of-game reason is (likely: making Tali mysterious), it'd be nice to see an in-game one.

I think the best way to reveal what quarians look like ( and still apease those who don't want to see tali's face) is to show quarians on their homeworld at the end of ME3, as part of the epilogue. That way people who want to know what quarians look like get to while bioware maintains the mystery of what Tali looks like. Win-Win, except for those who really want to know what TALI looks like.

Impressive, most impressive.

Quarians obscure their faces as part of a psychological reaction to being cramped on a ship their whole life with no privacy.

This.  I think it was explained in Ascension.  I mean, that is what ultimately helped the autistic girl, Gillian.

Decades in the future they show an old alien woman recalling the life of her long-deceased friend and/or lover, and then somebody refers to her as "Miss Vas Normandy."

I know! A Thresher Maw gently de-masks her.

[Ray Joel Oh]

But it's "gently," so she'll be fine.

that kinda reminds me of the ending of The Longest Journey.... which was quite good, though you could see it coming several miles away

[Ray Joel Oh]

It'd be an awesome way to address the issue, though. People get to see her face, even though it's not what it used to be. You see what Quarians look like but still leave what she looked like up to the imagination.

Thousands of years ago, last tuesday...

And then she walks up to the bow of the ship recovering the wreckage of the Normandy and tosses the Heart of the Void, a rare gem symbolic of her lover Jack Shepard, out the airlock, right?

Exactly!
