 If anyone could examine my idea for as to why quarian's eyes glow, that would be awesome.  I am unaware of any holes in my hypothesis, but a second opinion only helps.

Comments?

Quarian eyes have been discussed quite a bit, and it's actually something that particularly interests me (I even asked Tali when she showed up!)

The most popular theories are:

• Quarians have tapetum lucidum. This is a layer of tissue behind the ritna--it's the reason cat/dog eyes reflect light back. I personally believe this is one of the more likely cases.
• Bioluminescence. Quarian eyes glow from bioluminescence. I don't think this is likely, because it doesn't make a lot of sense for eyes to be like that. If anything, it's counter intuitive to what eyes do.
• Cybenetic implants. This is self explanatory. I also don't really believe this is likely, because it doesn't really make sense that every single quarian would get synthetic eyes. Why would they need that? Could the Flotilla even spare such resources? And forget about potential infections from surgery.
• The mask emulates glowing eyes so that people talking to a quarian can look at their eyes. This doesn't really make a lot of sense, since you can clearly see the glow behind the mask, but it's not impossible I guess.

Really?  Because every picture (including your profile pic) that shows Tali's "real face" show her with some sort of naturally glowy eyes.  Secondly, most fanfics seem to describe her as having eyes that are naturally bioluminescent...

I just have it because it's a nice fanart. (ps, this version has no glowing - there's like 5 different ones out there)

Just using it as an example, not as an attack against it (even if it is too boyish for my likes ).  

More like too human. I really hope quarians have some facial feature that clearly distinguishes them from humans. Or a hair analogue, that would work too.

Their legs, maybe?

The cheekbones (one of the most distinquishing features between males and females) are too low, or so I believe.  And I have to agree with you papercut, I would like to see something *a bit* more alien.  

And no.  No predator mouths.  Just like purple or black skin (real black, not human-black).

You don't know that 20 million made it out alive. No one knows, if anything it's safer to say 75% where killed. It's more safer then saying 99% because we don't know the full numbers.

Incorrect.  17 million is the current acceptable life average the current flotilla can support.  Current.
   So the number that survived the morning war, by default has to be less than  17 million.  That means,even if there were only a billion total quarians, that only 1.69% survived the morning war.  That's a 98.31% fatality rate - that qualifies as genocide.*

*(16,999,999/1,000,000,000)%=1.69%

He did say "facial feature".

Yes, he's been hiding in the left corner of Tali's mask. Who knew?

So who thinks the relationship btwn Tali and Shep might go down hill after the war ends? At the moment Tali looks up to Shep and considers him some sort of war god that will always be there for her....but the cold hard truth is that she has never considered a relationship with anyone but Shep ...so either the relationship will continue and Tali and Shep will love each other for ever....or she will realize that there are other men out there that dont have a 98% chance of getting killed, she will continue to love shep but no women that i kno of can stand to be with someone who could be killed any day

So it's safe to say the flotilla had to leave behind a lot of people? Sorta like the Titanic?

Not really, Kraidy left all logic behind when he started claiming that the Geth didn't wipe out most of the quarians, why infact this supposed genocide was nothing at all
