The fact that the scene from ME2 was the defining moment in their relationship demanded that her face be shown to the player as in the game you are Shepard. Any future showing of her face will be anticlimatic and IMHO ill conceived. Even if they show them on Rannoch at the end with a slowly setting sun, seeing her face then should have been there she is again and not 'Well, would you look at that? Those idiots finally show us.'[/quote]
Hmm... Well I never heard an argument touching on that sort of thing, all I heard of was those who think that the mask is what keeps her so mysterious and interesting, but there was this one time that I showed a counterpoint to that saying that there are a whole bunch of characters who hide their identity and then show it either because they are forced to or they trust someone with the knowledge, yet the character itself is still just as interesting because of who they are, and perhaps how they change because they reveal a part of themselves.
For you though, you pose a very good and tough arguement, to that I pose this counterpoint, one with a familiar character who is also behind a mask;
A defining moment of any given story or relationship within a story is not always limited to one instance, it could sometimes be two, maybe three, when Luke got his hand chopped off by Darth Vader and it was revealed that he was his father, it was considered the "defining moment" in the entire original Star Wars trilogy, everybody knows it, everybody remembers it, it's what made the ending to The Empire Strikes Back so good, but as Luke confronts the truth of Vader being his father more openly in Return of the Jedi, the entire personality of both characters is conflicted, Vader wanting so badly to be a part of the Light Side for his son, but feels that he is too far gone, and Luke growing into a mature and wise Jedi Master, the crowning moment of this change that a lot of fans remember is when after Vader kills the Emperor, he asks Luke to take off his mask so he can see his son with his own eyes before he passes away, and slowly Luke takes the mask off peice by peice until the two are silent looking at one another, Vader finally feels true happiness after all his years of being a Sith Lord by being able to look upon his own son like a true father, and Luke is amazed at just how damaging the path of the Dark Side was to Vader by looking at his pale visage and his scars, but to see that Vader regained the pureness of his soul by the symbolism of of his original blue eyes when he was Anakin Skywalker is a great consolation, Luke has, in essence, saved Darth Vader's soul, a very powerful moment at least to me, so while not the same character because he was redeemed and changed, Darth Vader is still one of the most fascinating characters in the world of science-fiction, even though his character changed morality at the last moment and we know what he looks like under the mask.
I hope that I posed at least a good point in that "defining and powerful moments" can happen more than once!

Your argument for Darth is good but not the same as with Tali I feel.
The entire reason, the only reason, for Tali or any quarian wearing a visor is their own safety
At that one instance in time Tali decided that living without knowing the feel of Shepards skin, of knowing what it felt like to have him touch her was something she could accept. She gave up her own safety to do that. Nothing can be stronger than that one instance no matter how they pull a rabbit out of their arses. They did not show her face solely to force us to buy ME3 and that is unacceptable. Again, IMHO.
Retour en haut
