Simple! Because he doesnt have the rights.

Mass Effect lore is not a property of Bioware. It merely has just the rights to publish a game based on their world. Simply put Bioware has no right to manipulate, to add or alter any of the mass effect lore.

Imagine if the Darth Vader's face was firstly shown in e.g KOTOR. Bioware couldn't do that because he didnt own the Star Wars lore.

As regards my part, the LI scene with Shephard removing tali's mask is the closest thing we are getting.

By that logic Bioware was breaching contract by writing ME2's story.

For everyone who wants Tali revealed, I foresee her being revealed, lets look at this logically.



ME3 is going to be the end of Shepard's story, but it will NOT be the end of Mass Effect games, there will be other games made after Shepard's story with new characters while still featuring the races we already know of.



In my opinion Bioware has to reveal what the Quarians look like eventually unless they make up some crazy reason for not doing it like making them extinct (which would be a very bad move on their part).



Also Bioware's in a bit of a pickle with revealing Tali's face and what the Quarians look like, if they don't they will make people angry, if they do people will get angry because they didn't want her revealed OR she didn't look like what they envisioned, its kind of a lose-lose situation for them there.



But simply put, Bioware has to reveal what the Quarians look like at some point, and ME3 is gonna be the best time for it.

Yeahhh... Except the fact that ME is Biowares IP, and EA are the ones who only have the right to publish it, that would make sense if it was the situation you described though

Even if EA owns the rights to reveal Tali's face it would still be a better idea for them to reveal her face. I still stand by what I said.

I don't necessarily want to see Tali's face; any quarian face will do. I just want to see what the quarians look like without their masks.

They shouldn't reveal what Quarians look like because if they didn't all we'd have left on the forums would be the Liara cultists who've managed to turn fun into ****. That and it would destroy the mysteriousness of Tali's character leaving something about as appealing of a character as a husk in her place.

Strange, what I really got from other forums is that books existed for Mass Effect and there's where Bioware got the lore for the game. I also heard something about "first turian war" or something, that gave me the concrete idea that some facts already exist and they were building upon that lore.

If that's the case we might actually get to see how quarians look like. Nothing like batarians I hope.

For me Garrus, Tali and Joker were the 3 reasons ME2 rocked! Anything related to them is in my top concerns. Just not seeing Tali's face kinda let me off somehow. Still hope they can pull it off.

The books are based on the games. Not the other way around. By which I mean the setting, not the story, since the books are their own stories.

Even were that the case (I'm pretty sure it's not) the real reason is even simpler.  The reason Bioware will never reveal Tali's face is because of us, the fans.  The people working at Bioware know full well that no matter what they make Tali look like most people are going to complain and rant and send them letter bombs (worst case scenario) so they just won't do it.

So there you go Bioware won't reveal Tali's face and we have no one to blame but ourselves,

I beg Bioware to do it just to put an end to the damn space elf fan drawings you get! Gah!

I'm gonna bet that we see another quarian, but not Tali. That way we have an approximation of what she looks like, but people can still project their own space elf fantasies or whatever.

First off OP, I think that you believed that the game was based off the books (I can understand that). All you have to do is look at the books though to find out Bioware owns the rights. As you can clearly see in this link. The Book Revelation, has a big ole' Bioware logo on the book. Also Bioware is a developer not a publisher, publishers (usually) merely own publishing rights.

Now onto the other thing....I hope Bioware never shows Tali's face, but they damn well better show a quarians face at some point or I'll be pissed.

I'm sorry an old Talimancer has to intervene. Oh, they are going to show her face, because they made us all mad by not showing it in ME 2. Oh, its ok for Shepard to see it. Well guess what I decide what shepard does sense I'm the Controllers. We are going to see the face one way or another ahhhh!.

The books are based on the game, not the other way around and the person who is writing the books also wrote the first Mass Effect story.
