If you want to get angry at anyone, blame Bioware. Keeping that whole race masked the entire time you played was an excellent device to build an air of mystery around them. I’m not condemning them for it either, itwas a great idea. I'd lay bets that the Tali fanbase wouldn't be as large (and probably have less stigma) if they hadn’t. Having that scene in the second game, where the mask comes off and no one sees it but Shep, priceless. To me it felt halfway between Bioware building additional tension, and a hypothetical dev coming across a petition thread titled "Let Shepard see Tali's Face!". Hmm? Challenge accepted. U mad? *Trollface*
At this point though, I'm a bit tired of it. It worked great for the first two games as a device to build additional interest for the character... a little too well maybe. Just reveal the damn face in ME3, I say. All I can see in the future if they maintained the secret would be a returning influx of the weirdos discussing everything from diaphoresis to the hotness of them possibly breeding like seahorses. Do not want!
“But what if she’s too alien?” She already obviously has chicken feet, and if the placeholder face anddescriptions in the book have any merit then I think it’s safe to say she’ll be “not-repulsive” and human-like by most standards.
“But what if she looks too human? They’d be lazy if she turned out to be a space-elf!” She already obviously has chicken feet, and if the placeholder face and descriptions in the book have any merit then I think it’s safe to say she’ll be “not-repulsively alien” and human-like by most standards. Additionally, you’re playing in a fictional universe where all but two sentient races are bipedal, with lateral symmetry; differing only in skin tones, number of digits and eyes and various bumps and scales. In other words, just about everything is humanoid.
Star Trek did pretty well for itself over the course of decades differentiating humans and aliens simply by whatever bits were tacked on the actors, or even just by the name of what you called the aliens themselves!
I really, really don’t care *exactly* what she/they look like, and I think most of the fanbase that isn’t insane doesn't either. It’s the end of the trilogy, who cares about polarizing the fanbase? By the time the next game comes out, people will (hopefully) realize that they spent hours of raging in a forum for no logical reason and by the time the next game gets released they (again, hopefully) won’t give a damn. I dunno, increase your suspension of disbelief. I was pretty jarred when I played the first game at how just about everything looked human, but eventually I just went with it and had fun. That’s what games are about. Wasting time and having fun doing it.
*fix'd*
