Perhaps a cross between the drell, turians and humans would be a nice look. I do quite like the photoshopped night elf idea and agree it is a bit cartoonish but I think we need to keep with Drew's (vague) description.

The one moonsoontides posted was within Drew's description. The Night Elf is not only too human looking IMO, it does not really fit Drew's description.

The Asari already fill the role of space elves. Quarians should look as alien as the drell, IMO.

The quarians already have plenty of alien features, the body structure's fairly different and they've got -glowing- (might be tapedum lucidum) eyes.
All they'd need to do is give them a slightly unnatural skin colour or complexion, but keep the face human-like, possibly even implementing hair, and they'd be fine.

That was my problem with it (the cartoonish-ness,) I couldn't care less about ears personally.  The eyes really bother me on any concept where they aren't right.

Same here. I really don't like golf ball eyes. And it's just her iris that's "glowing", right?

no just no.

Mind giving a little reasoning? Stuff like that pisses me off. <_<

I prefer not to writ to much.

but very well, skin color looks wrong to me I don't like the idea of a grey/white Tali.

Let's not act like Drew's description means anything at all.  It was clearly written specifically to not disclose any real information.  There isn't any realistic concept that doesn't fit the lips/teeth/some kind of ear model.

But Drew doesn't really add a description.

I disagree. It would be very jarring to see such a human face on an alien body. It is of course a matter of opinion. but I always felt that the Asari were immersion breaking in how human they looked and I do not want another asari clone race.

"What passes for the Quarian ear" seems to imply something that isn't like human ears.

Fair play Collider. However, Bioware needs to create something similar to humans and Asari, perhaps an asari face with human hair? They also need to consider what they would look like after living in a suit. I agree waxy skin is a good idea but I don't think they are cyborgs, at leat not on the outside.

The only facial description he gave us was when Hilo's face was torn apart.

True, but an elf ear isn't a human ear.  Or at least, isn't by all peoples' accounts, so the description doesn't even rule that out.

You can't just stick a human face on a quarian's body. It will simply not work without being too creepy. They are going to have to do something to "alienify" it.

indeed, I guess they work really hard to make it right.

She lives in a suit her whole life. She isn't going to be an african goddess.

That assumes that quarians work like some human beings.  Turning pale without sun isn't even true across all of humanity, let alone across alien races.

It's the "what passes" part. That again implies that their ears may not be easily recognizable as similar to human ears. And elf ears are pretty damn similar.

Uh, I hope not. Again, I think the Drell level of "alienness" is great.. I don't want them to be so similar to the Asari - we don't need a clone of them. The Drell fit the description in the books.

have to go keep the Tali love strong.

If they're going the elf-looking ear, that's a sign of laziness if yoou ask me. Just because it's not exactly human, doesn't mean it has to be pointy ears. Be creative.

Regardless of what it implies, it doesn't exactly rule anything out which is what my point was.  The whole description is fluff.
