Were you really expecting something of that quality to hit the EC?

Personally, I'm glad they didn't show her face. Even that photo was already too much (and would have been too much even if they had put more effort into it).
The Quarians' charm and mystique pretty much depends on us NOT knowing what they look like, and letting each of us fill in the gaps with out imagination.
Revealing their faces is a bit like revealing the ghost in a horror film: no matter how good the cgi or the masks, they can NEVER live up to what our imagination can conjure up.

There is that picture of the EC with the Geth and a Quarian who appears to be unmasked.

What picture is this? Is there a link?

Not surprising. They had a lot more pressing matters to show in EC.

I personally believe Bioware should have used Liz Sroka for Tali's face.
That would be nice. In the making of pictures released for the Extended Cut, there seems to be a still photo of a post-Synthesis Geth platform speaking to a Quarian with no mask. Her nose barely extends from the hood. We could still see a Quarian's face yet in the EC, I suppose, though that makes me think not.NS Wizdum wrote...

Honestly, this doesn't bother me that much. Where exactly did you expect to see Tali's face?
"Ok, war's over, let me just take off my vitally important environment suit and breathe deeply of the germy air!"
A better version of the picture of Tali's face would be nice, but I honestly don't think they can just jam it into the ending. Maybe if the EC modified the romance scene? I thought it was just going to be the final mission that was changed though.
I'm more worried that Liara will show up in a flashback instead of Tali. That pissed me off more than the stock photo, more than anything really. It totally destroyed any relevance of the ending to my version of Commander Shepar'ds decisions. I'm more worried that the Catalyst still won't explain his logic to Shepard in the light of his accomplishments on Rannoch, that Synthesis won't be explained, that Destroy will be left ambiguous, that Joker's reasoning for leaving Shepard won't make sense, etc etc etc. The reveal of Tali's face could have been executed much better, but it's not really a problem with the ending.
If you made peace between the Geth and Quarians, there was talk of the Quarians not needing their suits in 2 years due to Geth assistance. The EC is suposed to show how our choices effected the galaxy. It would not be a major stretch to have a cutscene showing Quarians running around on Rannoch, if you decided to save them.

LOL you know using the existing face mesh and just adding a new texture to it takes all of what? 3 maybe 4 hours to a professional to make it look polished. A sloppy job it can get done in less than an hour... like that photoshoped pic of tali....Versus Omnibus wrote...

That isn't a lot of effort. They couldnt spare 400 dollars to add in a new face?
It looks like to me they are just being stubborn for their egos.

Pretty much my take. I would have liked a bit more effort be put into her photo (the hand!), but I never expected quarian faces to be shown in the series. Every individual would have had a different idea of what they look like, and no artist would be able to satisfy the many interpretations out there. I'm sure whatever they did would devolve into people whining that quarians are too human, too alien or something else.

I'm sure someone will eventually mod it in, assuming the copy protection doesn't melt your computer for using modified files.

These posts are amusing. Think about - the fact that in game, the quality of Tali's reveal is photoshop level... why would they go out of their way to include a full 3D model in the EC, when THAT should of been in game, no? It's like asking to re-write the whole Earth sequence.
