Integrity of the lore? They haven't had a consistent lore since ME 1.
And now they're doing it deliberately and significantly reducing any sense of versimiltude they once had.
If they want to destroy someone's look, let them.
I'm not going to stop them but i see no reason why I should just lie down and take it up the arse like some fanboy. They're ruining both a character I liked and a franchise I loved for reasons I can't possibly agree with.
It's not like Tali is going to actually look like a pig when you take that mask off.
No doubt if they do reveal her face she'll be a beautiful space elf with her only alien feature being violet skin or something.
Can't anger the fanboys and their stubby little dicks now can we?

God I'd love to see her original writer's take on this 'development'
I keep hoping that any minute now Chris L'otile is going to leap in and determinedly write his arse off to fix all of Bioware's mistakes and save Ashley from the editorial cutting board just like Chris Claremont did for Ms. Marvel a few decades ago (if anyone doesn't get this reference I'll post a link) by writing out the changes and restoring the character's dignity somewhat.
But of course as great as that would be, I suspect that would never happen.
I can say, however that if I were him I would be plenty pissed to see a character that I made get redesigned like this just for the sake of mainstream appeal. Hell I'm already pissed about it and I'm just a nerd on the web. The only thing keeping me from just throwing my hands up in the air and saying:
"F*ck it!"
And dismissing Bioware forever as America's answer to Team Ninja is that after reading the leaked script, Ashley's character at least remains intact and is done justice in some of the dialogues (especially romance). Also of course the fact that Bioware finally gave her armor and got rid of those awful white pants.
I think I've come to realize that as an Ashley fan I have to take what I can get, and while that's a very sad defeatist statement to make I have to admit, it could be worse. She could have Samara's low cut top or do the Miranda thing with constant arse shots, she could have had her personality totally rewritten to match her new look and gone into battle wearing nipple tassels.
So yeah, it pisses me off immensly but I've resigned myself to trying to look at the positives. But yes, I still am annoyed by this whole situation.
Quoting because it's a fine post that suffered the annoying misfortune of being the last post on the previous page.
