Since quarians come from a planet with no insect life I can see them having hair if they evolved to help spread pollen/whatever.

that is a very possible, very alien, which would be pretty interesting. Strange hair would be interesting.

Quarians aren't terrestrial mammals.

which is why many of my claims can be false since I am looking at it through the perspective of an earthling.

Yes. Seeing Tali smiling would be.. special.

I'd prefer a sort of bow-like :3

Maybe I just don't know what terrestrial mammal means, but how could you possibly know that?



Also on the topic of hair, if the plants did indeed rely on mammals to spread pollen, hair would be a necessity.

Oh i thought quarians had evolved from a land mammals like humans evolved from monkeys. Sorry i'm not very good at these scientific things :whistle:

Aren't Quarians' legs sorta backwards? like the knee bends the other way? That might prove to be a challenge of Shepard-like porportions.

Not backwards. Simply curved to a degree.

Perhaps more tellingly, she runs heel-toe, so she's definitely not digitigrade.

Terrestrial=of the Earth.

And necessity is the wrong word. It would only be the most obvious way for a terrestrial mammal to carry pollen around. For all we know, large animals on Rannoch could have microscopic cilia covering they're bodies adapted for capturing pollen.

Not that I'm suggesting they do. I'm trying to get away from all this speculation, fictional races are designed by artists, they don't evolve.

Okay so i read the OP and basically everything around about posting here. I don't enjoy spamming or breaking the rules so i might as well double check to make sure before i go off and break some rule and ruin it for everyone. Can we advertise Shepard/Tali Fanfiction if we don't spam it?

Official answer:

Pacifien says yes.  She even said shorter stuff could be posted into the thread.

I believe we need another angle.
For science.

Necks- If you look at the necks of male and female quarians they are different. males tend to have more, to the shoulder necks while females have longer necks. Evolutionarily speaking this shows some common traits to primal survival. The males would have been more of the hunters while the females would stay back and guard the young and other protection to the homefront. Seeing as Rannoch is arid I would assume that most of planet would be tall grasses. Females would need the elongated necks to see over the grass as much as humans stood on two feet. This increased neck length allows for a better look around like a prairie dog. Males have shorter necks and the shorter necks are thicker. This would be caused from them putting their "necks" on the line more when they go out and hunt, knowing that in every environment a species of something is always stronger in some way over the other.


Yay!  More agreement with Rannoch: planet of savannahs.

Also:  Quarian Geographic.

I remember Kikai saying that Tali's neck was long. Like way longer than even femshep's giraffe neck.

Unless the proportions of her face are really off, her chin would be roughly halfway down the voice modulator. The rest is all neck.

It's more obvious how long her neck is in ME1.

Haha, when I got that waterfall scene, it was Mordin. Now don't get me wrong, i love me some Mordin, but Tali is more fitting there. More graceful and romantic-like.

Yeah, her hood really obscures how ****ing long that thing is in Mass Effect 2.

OK, stop it, everyone. You are reminding me of the Padaung women of Burma (especially with those gold things she has on her neck).

I am not saying it is bad...but that pic I posted is far from the most extreme example of body modification they do, and I didn't picture Tali that "extreme". Long necks can be very attractive, I think. But too long and it gets kind of creepy IMHO, just my opinion. Tali's neck looked long but 'proportional' to me.

Ash is pretty swan-like, too.

Edit:  That's probably the nice way to say it.

Haha, I just noticed Ash's neck very recently in finishing ME1

But to tell the truth, I never paid particular attention to Tali's neck in either game (although I thought she had a graceful form, overall)...is this an established thing, that she has a particularly long neck?
