just wondering...anyone know what the model has had to say about this? does she even know?

[Reorte]

Nowhere near the thing that bothers me the most about everything I've heard that puts me off buying ME3 (and I'm speaking with a Talimancer hat on here). Bioware were going to be damned by a lot of people if they didn't show her face and they were going to be damned by a lot of people if they did no matter what she looked like. It's probably hard to muster much enthusiasm for putting a lot of effort into an original appearance under those circumstances

Ah! i knew that picture looked familiar
wow how can they be so lazy

It just feels like they didn't even try.

Aw, I just made myself sad. I just typed in middle eastern woman into getty images, and that photo was on the very first page.

I'd like to expand upon this, please.

How do we know that the model wasn't a friend/relative of somebody at BioWare, or perhaps had done a shoot for them and was allowed to post the original online while they worked on the in-game version?

Not likely if it's from a photo library. Probably just a boggo shoot with a regular photographic model who signed release forms and got paid by the photographer at the time, who in turn has now been paid by BioWare for its use. Lazy and cheap aren't necessarily the same thing, though this is still a bit cheap since it appears to be a royalty free image so the photographer won't be getting an amount per game sold. It's just not as cheap as being suggested here.

I can honestly say, it would of been better if they didn't reveal her at all, if this was their grand scheme for it. I could of stomached an ugly tali or beautiful tali, but revealing her in a picture...idk anymore bioware,I had faith in you, now I'm losing it.

Im starting to think why ME series was created in the first place.

Get a freakin' grip on yourselves this is getting ridiculous. I hope BioWare just stops listening to fans altogether and just continues making games that they want to make.
The "fan" bull**** that goes on here is ridiculous.

That thing sailing over your head right now? That was the point. Sorry you missed it!

People are not upset that they revealed her face and they hate the face. They are upset because they revealed her face and it was a 5 minute photoshop of a stock image. Calling out lack of creativity has zero to do with "damned if you do, damned if you don't."

I really was looking forward to seeing her this game, but honestly I would've been ok had they not revealed her.

My bigger problem is that they did the reveal via a low res photo next to your bed. I (and I'm betting we) wanted to see her (or a quarian) and see them emote and speak the same way every other character we travel with does.

Given the options, I would have rather had no face reveal than the way they did it.

i agree lost count on how many times ive said that

Normally, I would agree, but they didn't even put forth any effort to creating a Quarian face. Instead, they ripped off a copyright-free photo off of the Internet and spent a few minutes in photoshop.  If I were a Tali fan, I would insanely pissed, too.

[Therefore_I_Am]

Is bioware LOOKING to be humiliated?

Did they tell the Tali fanbase that they did this or did somebody actually find this out on their own by accident?


-edit-
On a lighter note... at least the girl is cute.

Royalty free isn't the same thing as copyright free, and I doubt there was any ripping off as such. I'm sure they paid the going rate to use the image, it's just that being a royalty free image they don't need to pay for each use. To be fair to BioWare that could open a huge can of worms depending on how you define each use. Would be each copy of the game or each time it appears in the game, or even (worst case scenario for them but absolute dream for the rights holder to the image) every time a player triggers the scene in which it appears meaning a fee per playthrough, so basically each playthrough would mean BioWare paying a fee. That's probably extreme and I'd hope that copyright law hasn't got that retarded yet, but going for a royalty free image where they only have to pay one fee one time makes perfect business sense both to BioWare and gamers since a per game arrangement would likely add a few dollars to the price of each copy of the game.

Really the only objection I'd make is that it's lazy. It's lazy to just find a photo of a relatively exotic looking girl and pshop out two of her fingers and pshop in some Star Trek Alien Of The Week style marks on her face. It's almost like it was decided that there'd be a Tali face reveal early on but everyone forgot about until the last minute and it was too late to get one of their own artists to do something original. It's a matter of opinion but I also think it's lousy writing to have a reveal at all. For Pete's sake, we have two and a bit games telling us how taking their masks and suits off is a huge deal for Quarians even at home in the Migrant Fleet and now we're supposed to believe that Tali just casually desuited for a happy snap for Shepard? Come on! It's brown and warm, you get it from bulls, and I'm calling it.

Better to have preserved the mystery and not done a reveal at all. It's like the last Star Wars film (the originals) - when Darth Vader's mask came off and there was this old out of shape guy underneath .... even though they acted the hell out of that scene seeing that after all the menace Darth Vader actually looked like the least scary guy in the retirement home nearly killed that movie for me. Same thing here. The ME2 scene where she took of her mask but didn't quite get to see her was nicely done, and for my money they should have done something similar, maybe revealing just a little more, but otherwise left the details up to the imagination of the player.

[foundthisway]

well at least we got to see darth vaders face..no matter how ugly or screwed up it was or didnt fit lol...we still did not get to see tali's REAL face as in her turning her damn head around to the camera if u romanced her or didnt. and it should have happened on her home world thats where BW should have done it would have been perfect.

jeez its just stupid to even rant about it

it should have already been in the game

People just take a look at Tali's hand on the picture. They didn't even try to draw proper Quarian hand which has 3 fingers, instead they just chopped off 2 fingers from the original picture...

I'm speechless

I wish if they make some DLC, to prove that they are not lazy, and make real digital Tali's face like on the picture....
