This confuses me as well. I believe the reasoning is that people have their own beliefs on alien species varying widely, like humans to elcor, while Bioware has taken a more conservative approach with bipedal, human formed aliens being more the norm. In universe, I don't think a human-like appearance for the quarians would be that odd, since in the ME universe, human appearance seems to be closer to a rule than an anomaly.

It's because I found the Asari being near human in the first place to be jarring, boring, and annoying. It detracts from the sense that Shepard is traveling the galaxy with aliens who developed completely separate from Earth's organisms.

Sounds more or less like you agreed with my hypothesis.  That you believe that alien species would vary a lot more than Bioware thinks they would.

Granted, the ease of design/appeal to an audience is probably more of the cause of that than actual beliefs on their part, but the end result is still the same.  Human like races rising to power in different parts of the galaxy.

I'm fine with some races being humanoid in appearance. But I don't want another race that is nearly just recolored humans like the Asari are.

How about the established descriptions in the novel?

Are we to throw that away as well?

They have eyelids, lips, teeth, and ears unlike a human. Allow me to create a list of different possibilites that still fit the description.

- Horses
- Elves
- Koalas
- Bats
- Raptors
- Lemurs
- Badgers
- Deep Ones
- Batarians

Do you see my point yet?

I feel like you have to take the placeholder into consideration some as well.  You can get a pretty good view of her face from some angles, and there is significantly less wiggle room for extremely alien than those earlier guidelines allow.  Granted, they could just ignore the placeholder, but I don't see that as too likely if they had the face done pre-ME2.

Alright... So we can toss away the in-game placeholder in favor of some of the worst descriptive language I've ever seen and we actually know less than what we did before...

Great.

That wasn't the point...

I am not saying they should just ignore the placeholder, I am noting people are putting too much faith on something that was clearly not meant to be taken for granted.

You could have a potentially epic "I told you so" if we are wrong. But I still stand on my claim and that I was the first to note it.

WEIRD THOUGHT! What would Tali's favorite pokemon be? the real ones everything after gold and silver is a lie.

[Collider]

Also, I would like Tali to be average looking (though I would not complain if she's cute).

It's still better than nothing or that very vague/non-existent description.

I really have no ****ing clue. I just picked something techy.

[Andaius20]

I theorize that her face if going to look pretty human, her head shape has more wiggle room I think.

Definately cute, but not drop-dead-gorgous. That would be too cliche.
