umm no it's the face of one of the characters who has in been in all 3 games and all we get is a photoshopped image off the internet.

Whan an irony, ppl express their readiness to spend money on something that should be in the game in the first place. Doesn't this alone just say it all?

... And yeah, I would also pay for better ending.

Le sigh.

And for the love of the Force, why does Tali do that thing that causes that (really bad) photoshopping to appear?

In fact just the opposite. Its the fact that Bioware was lazy and uncreative by taking an internet photo and dressing it up as one of the fans' favorite characters.


How do you know for a fact that it's a stock internet photo? If it is it would show up on TinEye or Google Image Search. It does not. So where did this photo come from?


It came from GettyImages which in fact in the ME3 credits it says the game used stock images from Gettyimages.

Shepard had sex with Tali so
Shepard knew what they looked like. Who gives a ****? Is it important
what they look like? Is it a game changing detail? No!


If so then why bother showing her at all, and yes it's important BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN TEASING IT FOR 2 GAMES. you can't sell the mystery of a freaken character on not knowing what she look likes then just use a poorly edit stock image to reveal her.

It's lazy, irresponiable and all levels of retarded.

If they wanted to reveal her why did they not just make a model for her when she takes off her mask on Rannoch it would have made perfect sense there.  You either reveal her or don't, but if your gonna reveal her you don't reveal her in such a lazy way.

At the risk of going off-topic to answer this quickly: 

My personal interpretation is that her picture is symbolic of the 'no barriers remaining' stage of Shepard and Tali's relationship.  Tali obviously cannot be out of her suit or without the mask 24/7 - but her picture allows Shepard to always 'see' her.  Admittedly, he shouldn't really need it since physical image has never seriously defined Tali's character, but you could also argue that the desperation and hopelessness of the war they fought factored into the decision.  

Anything more on this should go in the appropriate thread, I think. :D And back on topic: I'm torn between the unprofessional approach taken by Bioware with regards to a lazy photoshop and the fact that...well, the result isn't -terrible-, per se.  It's one of those things for me that shouldn't be done and I would condemn, but wouldn't go berserk about.

Pfft so? It's a mystery because you want it to be a mystery, nothing more. It changes nothing in the game and is a mear detail. At this point you people are just looking for excuses to bash the game, nothing more. Get over it, get on with it and get a life!

I really don't see the point of shoving your opinion down everyone's throats, while refusing theirs as having any merit.  Get off your high horse.  Tali fans were disappointed and some of them felt that this was a cop out / lazy.  How about YOU get over the fact that that's how some people feel.  To each their own.
