...but Quarians have no good reason to be so occluded when it actively hurts them, not just with other races, but also as they are suited on the flotilla, their own.


One could argue they tint the facemasks to give them a semblance of privacy, sine privacy's basically nonexistent in the cramped quarters of the Migrant Fleet, where they can have multiple quarians sharing sleeping quarters. Though one does wonder if there's polarizing/depolarizing visor technology in the ME universe similar to what the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers have in Halo 3: ODST.

Well you can make out through the visor that the Quarians have got basic humanoid features. However I think we'll see something more akin to elves from fantasy. Pointed ears, tight skin which excenuates are sharp bone structure in the face. However for the most part they'll be humans.


No goddamn space elves, I hope.  There's no reason for pointy ears anyway.


You can take solace in the fact that pointy ears are highly unlikely. The use of the phrase "what [passes] for the quarian version of an ear" gives the impression that they don't look anything like ears as we would expect them. Elf ears might look different, but they're very obviously ears to us. Who knows, maybe they'll be like Piccolo's ears from Dragonball Z or something.

Why cant they just make an average looking face that still fits with canon? Why are the option only super model and ugly wierd alien?

Nobody romancing Garrus is complaining about how he looks, and he is very alien.

Dont be a dick and make her super ugly for the lols. Make sure what has been seen behind the mask fits though, keep to your source material, dont throw that away for a completely new design. The people who like Tali wont have any problem with an average looking alien.

I honestly don't care, nor can I see the big deal.



I like Tali because of her character.



If they reveal her face, well, that's a plus, but it won't have much impact on me if they don't.

Shepard looked pretty impressed when she lost the mask, so I don't think there's any harm in seeing her face, because it probably won't be TOO alien. That being said, I wouldn't mind if her face is never shown. It'd be Bioware leaving the Quarian face for the fans to decide for themselves. There's a sense of mystery to it, like it's something that lives only in the past when Quarians were mask-free.

Agreed with op. Quarians have only one intriguing left about them - it's the mistery what's behind the mask.

It better be left unanswered.

I am fairly indifferent on this front, whether or not quarian faces are revealed. Part of me likes the idea that nobody has seen Tali's face but Shepard. I guess I'm just sappy like that. But I also don't really want quarians to just be purple asari either. I think asari design is pretty "meh" as is.  If quarians do get revealed, I am one of the ones cheering for them to be fairly alien. Tali's romance and story is all about how relationships can transcend the physical. I'm not saying I want Tali to be ugly. More like I don't want her to be beautiful in a traditional or really human sort of way. And aside from the Tali romance story, I don't see a really pressing need to reveal what quarians look like except idle fan curiosity. If we are talking purely "for the hell of it" type stuff I would rather see a female turian/krogan/salarian than an unmasked quarian, or some new alien race altogether.  I don't find the mystery of quarian faces to be that compelling of a mystery to be honest.  I think other things about them like their history and where their race is going in future to be much more interesting.

In the grand scheme of things, I don't really care what Bioware does with this so long as the character progression is coherent and sensible and the writing is good.

As much as I love Tali, agreed, I hope they don't reveal any quarian faces. There is no feasible way BioWare could appease everyone, since we all seem to have our own ideas on what they look like.

What I think would be cool is if we ever see Tali's face/what a Quarian looks like without a suit, it's as they're dying, shot up or something and a bullet has shattered her visor. All the people who love Tali enough to never let her die never see her face. People who don't like her, don't care, or simply enjoy the dramatic part of a story where a beloved character dies gets an epic cutscene unveiling Quarians.



Thoughts Y/N?

Why even make what they look like a mystery, if we never see one? Ever?



Thats like Scooby Doo leaving in the middle of a mystery. Sure it's the easy thing to do, and the guy in a mask would be happy about it but that'd just leave Batman or the Globetrotters wondering why they even bothered guest appearing on the show in the first place.



...yeah. Tali's face is like an old episode of Scooby Doo.

Now this is just my opinion of course, but I always figured Quarians looked similar to the Tau from Warhammer 40k. Humanoid, but with distinct alien features.



As for the topic at hand... I'm torn about whether they should reveal the Quarians or not. On one hand I really want to see Tali's face, and the race at whole. On the other... I really like the mystery, and I love how the mask looks.

I most definitely think that 3 should reveal Quarian faces.

They ought to do it just to put an end to sanity destroying fan art. And they probably are pretty ugly for living in suits most of their lives.

Are there people out there, like me, who find Tali annoying? I'm not trying to start a rage war here, but seriously. Am I the only one who never cared for her?

is this your first time being on the forums?

^ Your not the only one who doesnt like her. Talimancers, which are different from fans of Tali, (Im sad that I even have to make that distinction) are very, very vocal.



So then you start getting people who hate Tali, not because of Tali but because of her fans, then it turns into a flame war... and now people who legitimately dont like tali get flamed out.



Really its a complicated social dynamic that belongs in the "why cant we all just get along" category.

Were you refering to me with that first sentence or the person I quoted? I ask this because I never said nor implied that I dislike Tali.  Infact shes my favourite character. lol

Was referring to the quote. Was having trouble with the quote system at the time.

Say Bob really really wants to know what Tali looks like. But Joe doesn't, he prefers the mystery and his own imagination.

All BioWare has to do is think of a way to make such a reveal optional, such as through an optional conversation. That way Bob can see Tali's face, and Joe can keep the mystery.

Everyone wins.


Until Bob posts a bajillion screenshots on the interwebs and Joe inevitably runs into them without ever intending to.

@ didy whats up wih your avatar is that a crocoduck

funny this consider your little drawn forum avatar is pretty darn close to how they were probably originally designed considering what we can see and make out of their facial features.  just make that face a little more human-ish and there ya go....pink Quarian...look you even show cleavage.

I'm hoping they show Tali's face or even her whole body (with sideboob a la ME1's Paramour scenes). However, I'm not going to flip out if we don't see it. The ME2 love scene was cute and sexy enough for my tastes.



I'm guessing Quarians will be airless, angular creatures with facial features not unlike Star Wars' kaminoans and luminous eyes, skin tones ranging from grey, to off-white, to light purple.

I say reveal her. Id rather see her happy in her own skin by some cure they figure out in ME3 than to have her saddened by her life in a suit.

Yes, let them give in to Tali stalkers. I see nothing wrong with beauty, no matter how fictive it is. And seeing how this is a sci-fi game to start with, Tali being really attractive isn't really that unbelievable.
