Am I the only person who remembers Grunt describing Quarians as tough? Crispy, hard skinned? He says they're difficult to kill with a blade is what I'm getting at.
Just another thing about ME2 that was dismissed? File that one along with anderson was councilor?
The Quarians resemble Humans far more than the Asari:
Quarians are generally shorter and of slighter build than humans.
Quarians have an endoskeleton, lips, teeth, and two eyes with eyelids
and tear ducts; they also have three thick fingers on both hands which
include a thumb, an index finger, and a long finger, similar to the
middle fingers for humans, as well as three toes on each foot. Quarian
facial structure and hair actually makes them the most similar to humans
in physical appearance. Their lower legs are bowed backwards
significantly, compared to asari
or humans. Aside from hands and legs, their general body shape and
sexual dimorphism is similar to humans. Their ears or ear analogues
differ in a noticeable fashion from those of humans, with references
made to "what [passes] for the quarian version of an ear".
Apologies to the hardcore xenophiles among Talimancers who wanted their Shep to bang a hentai tentacle monster. It's 'canon' that they look like us, except for the leg structure, ears, and Turian-esque feet and hands.
In any case, I like the look they picked for Tali. I just think the photoshopped picture could have been done a bit better, since fans have put forth 'cleaned up' versions of that pic that look far better. And a 3-D rendering of Tali's face in the portrait would have been awesome.
Ignroing your insultingly ignorant comments I will just say this.
With that vague description you just easily described Drell. That description was incredibly generic on purpose you silly billy.
This forum really needs an eye-roll smiley.
It's not that vague at all. The Quarians, amongst all of the humanoid races in the galaxy, most resemble Humans. They have all of the Human characteristics, including hair. It doesn't say anything about scales, tough skin, or any of the reptilian features that would pertain to the Drell. If they had such, it would stand out. And be worthy of mention. The description of the Drell:
Drell are omnivorous reptile-like humanoids with an average lifespan of
85 galactic standard years. Drell appearance is very similar to asari
and humans, but their muscle tissue is slightly denser, giving them a
wiry strength. Although many of their more reptilian features are
concealed, their hyoid bone, located in their throats, is particularly
developed. This allows them to inflate their throats and produce vocal
sounds outside of the human range. They also have two sets of eyelids,
akin to crocodiles. In addition, drell possess the ability to shed
tears.
A clear difference in the descriptions. The Drell have features that stand out and makes them unique compared to Humans. In the Quarian description, the major differences are mentioned. There is nothing "vague" about any of it.
And by the way, my little joke was directed at those still b*tching about Tali not being "alien enough", not Talimancers in general, despite the Codex firmly establishing that the Quarians are the most 'Human-like' among the galaxy's major races. Know before you go, amigo.
Actually you proved my point. The codex entries purposely describe the drell in direct detail, while the description proveded in the book is a bare bones, generic description of a humanoid, that describes a drell, or an asari, or hell a human!
The description of the Quarians goes into no detail at all mate, which is what I was trying to tell you. Pulling up the description of the drell only proves how bare bones the description given for the quarians is.
As you say, "know before you go, bosh'tet."
