Wasn't expecting them to change this at all. They needed to allocate those pixels to valuable, compelling characters like James Vega and Diana Allers. No time for Tali. Who likes her anyway? She's from ME1, so she doesn't matter.

TWO models for Vega. It was absolutely necessary to make a second one with his shirt off.

Very disappointing. Not surprising, but very disappointing. Relying on photoshop instead of an actual reveal was one of the many things that made the game look rushed, and this was a perfect opportunity to correct this. But this is coming from the same people that thought having the flashbacks default to Liara was a good idea, so I'm not at all surprised.

Well, this little piece of information more or less confirms my fears for the EC. At least I know now that the game is worthless. Maybe Gamestop will still take all 3 as a trade. Halo 4 will probably be decent.

You know... I don't think they know what "listening" means.


Seconded! I listened to the podcast talking about it while at work... I still don't understand how Casey Hudson could sit there and claim he listened to so much of our feedback, when he then all but outright said he chose to ignore all of it.

Here. It looks like an unmasked Quarian.

I was okay with the face they gave Tali, and yes; I'm a huge fan of Tali.

OH FU-- *Runs away from angry mob*

First off, I am not a Talimancer and have never really gotten into her character...but I was considering it after seeing vids of the great writing for the Tali romance in ME3.  But it would have required what I assumed would be a given - that Bioware would deliver on this basic piece of fan-service.

That seems rather shallow of you.

Not everyone can be an ocean.

I also, for the most part, am ok with the artistic direction they went with for Tali's appearance.  I just think it was so poorly executed that it cheapened what could have (and should have) been one of the game's most epic moments. 

She takes off the mask on Rannoch and looks at you for the first time ever in open air (aside from your cabin if she's your LI).  It would have, and again - should have - been a beautiful moment.  Since they already decided to show us what she looked like, why not show us in a stirring way?  It would have capped off her story arc perfectly.

If you look closely, the Quarian is shown in profile.  The mask may or may not be off, but it does not show its face.

EDIT:  But I don't want to get off track discussing EC images - there's already a thread for that.

They couldn't be bothered to even do an original digital painting of Tali, of course they weren't going to do a 3d model.
Even if they did do a model, it would p/o a lot of the fanbase. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

The stated intent of the EC was always to 'clarify' the ending, so I'm not sure why some people were expecting a fully modeled Tali. While that would be cool, it isn't really linked to the ending of the game.

They can't pull "Artistic Vision" for Tali's face, even the non-Talimancers admit that what they did with that reveal is lazy and extremely insulting.

I swear that Tali's story, face and stuff will be a paid DLC. No doubt, since people crave it so bad.

Again, I don't know about that - people weren't really upset with the concept of Tali's face design, only the execution.

I thought the concept was really lame as well, to be honest. It is far too human looking.

I thought it was lame, but if it was revealed as a 3d model, in a tasteful scene, I wouldn't mind

Really discouraged by this news. I'm not a talimancer, but the implications this oversight has on the rest of the DLC would make me choose not to buy it if it wasn't free.

Yes.  I expected that the company that brought me Shadows of Amn, KOTOR, DA:O, ME1, and ME2 would be able to add a *minor* piece of content to the EC - reveal could have been on Earth, even - that would have generated an enormous impact.  It's not so much that *I* am dying to see this in the game, but I know that so many fans are - and I think this is indicative of just another major disconnect on Bioware's part.

I am disapointed they are not taking this chance to make a Tali face model! It would fix up the whole picture mess thing and improve things with fans. (Me being a huge Tali fan)
