hahahaha I'm sorry dude, but you really expected something like that from BW...

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.

Damn truth

Consider the source here. Unless I'm mistaken, Jessica Merizan is not part of the dev team and moreover has been known to issue statements that turn out to be inaccurate.

This is becoming a misnomer. Those were different people working on thsoe games. Still BioWare just different studios.

She's played the EC multiple times today, unless she lied about that.

She just wanted us to be jealous

I may be seeing things but I almost believe you can see an exposed quarian nose.

Bud, I wish, oh how I wish, but it's just not there, whatever spark of brilliance they had has been extuingished, and now they're just another cog in the machine...

There were so many things that I wanted to see in this game; I would've paid good money, and waited another year or 2 without question, but here we are, and it's not going to get better...

I see lips and a chin too.

I think the Quarian's face is kept in obscured profile intentionally, even if we do get to see a glimpse of a nose.  I doubt it, though - if they were willing to do a 3D model for a generic Quarian, they would have done one for Tali.

[Zardoc]

I saw this coming from a mile ago.

[TamiBx]

I didn't expect them to. I never thought they would spend resources and time in modeling the face of a character that might be dead(especially if you sided with the geth).
They had more important things to try to fix...

[devSin]

I hope they fix the portrait at least.

That hand cannot be the best that they can do.

[Omnifarious Nef]

Well, it did take them a million dollar team and four months to make a 10 minute cut scene... Soooo actually modeling something?

Pretty much.  That picture is about as close as we're likely to get to seeing a rendering of any Quarian. 

[Khajiit Jzargo]

I'm so pissed off.
You have a link?

Is it just me, or have they been in love with using the multiplayer models for everything lately?

For some reason I can't seem to link to specific tweets, only twitter pages.  You can scroll down though and find it pretty easily (ctrl+F; search "no it will not").

Here you go

Edit:  pissed or not, please don't flame her

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*

Don't worry brother I have your back. *sees mob* OH SH- *Runs away from mob*

But seriously, this wasn't a big deal to me. Not surprised it's not being adressed

[goose2989]

I've said before that I liked the actual design for Tali, but the picture was a disservice to both Tali and Hammasa Kohistani. I am genuinely shocked this issue won't be addressed.

[garrusfan1]

I didn't think they would they will for $15.99 a little later

Tali's design itself was great to me; I didn't want her to be very alien. But the photoshop was lazy, and Bioware knows it. The hand was simply unacceptable

[adam32867]

god whoever the quarian photographer is should be shot. who takes all of their pictures with the sun glare in it?

Sort of, but the MP model is just carried over from SP

But it is a big deal to a lot of people (and I'm not really one of them, though I would have liked to see it).  My main point is just that Bioware missed a huge opportunity that could have been really easily capitalized on.  They could have done something big with this DLC (not too big, unfortunately, thanks to antequated XBOX 2gb download limits...thanks console gamers), but it seems they chose to play it safe.  I don't even think there would have been that much risk in doing a face reveal at this point, even if the model wasn't perfect - I think a lot of fans would have just been happy to see it at all.

It's interesting that so many don't find this surprising.  Given that...

1. Bioware needs to generate goodwill among fans to sell future DLC
2. A great way to generate goodwill is through fan-service
3. Tali's face has been a sticking point among fans right up there with the endings and day 1 dlc

= adding a 3d model face reveal would have generated significant goodwill and increased the overall positive view of the EC.

I'm still cautiously optimistic about the dlc as a whole, it's just that the decision not to include this obvious piece of fan-service makes me wonder what else they decided not to include.  They keep saying they're listening, but they keep acting like they're wearing earplugs.

I didnt mind the photo myself, but the one part I can't stand was the hand.
