Am I the only one who things, that Bioware missed the most obvious opportunity to create one of the most memorable scenes in video game history by not showing us Tali's face when she removes the mask on Rannoch?
Your not alone. It really made no sense to do a face reveal and not render it in 3D.
I may not exactly like that fact that we don't have a 3D representation of Tali sans suit in-game, but to be reasonable, there are important factors in here. The game obviously got time crunched. Things were cut. As nice as it would have been, sparing the time (and it *would* take a lot) to model, texture, rig, and animate her face to the level of perfection that wouldn't make it demeaning to fans is simply not an efficient use of resources, given that they'd only use it for one or two scenes. Heck- we were given a hastily made photomanip (though my only real problem with that is her hand, and the nail polish), and people are in an uproar.
Now, imagine if her in-game model had been so slipshod. As much as I'd have liked to see her in glorious 3D, I'm glad they went this route rather than giving us a sub-par effort in 3D. We all have imaginations, and now we can (literally) fill in the blank, in the case of her face.
