If she looked a little too alien, just a
little too repellant, would they still feel the same way about her? Or
did her personality and your history together trump appearances? It's an
interesting area to explore and I hope we can find other ways to ask
that question."

Dont know if those pictures were posted already, the search function didnt show any.

I didn't care what she looked like before the reveal, and I don't really after.

Very, very old news. This stuff was horrible, even worse than the EDI and Shep concepts.

Btw, this was back before ME1. The Quarian face design was pretty much clear in ME2.

Looks like bioware watched a little star wars before making tali's face.

If they went with that appearance, let's just say Tali's awesome voice would not be enough reason to romance her.

Worse then what the players actually got? Hardly.
At least here was some effort used and Quarians arent humans with three fingers...

Imagine the reaction Shepard would have had if she looked like that when he took the mask off.

Umm yes, they pretty much are. Their appearance is canon since ME1(description in codex). You can see Tali's human facial features very clearly in ME2 and perhaps even ME1. The final look for Tali was not just totally fine, but very expectable. The execution was just horrible, they could've just given her a facial render model.

Tali, it's just too dangerous, I won't put you in that position for my benefit. I need to be alone.

Miranda, can I see you in my cabin please?

i think what he means is, is that supposed to be a picture of a quarian, or just a human with three fingers?

So this raised question is answered now. Most who romanced Tali just wanted a weird looking human female with three fingers, personality never really mattered...

What the heck? Now you're totally exaggerating and ignoring Quarian canon appearance. You can't just ignore ME1 canon because you'd like Tali to be uglier. 

Why should character not matter? If I'm in love with a beautiful girl, does her character not matter all of a sudden?

Hold your horses sport...Tali never had a canon appearance until Mass Effect 3.

If you are referring to the passage from the books that described an unmasked Quarian, it was deliberately vague to give Bioware room to potentially design Tali in any number of directions. That passage was also deliberately misinterpreted by the faction among Tali's fans who wanted a very human-looking reveal, rather than one that looked alien.

The unmasked Quarian was described as having humanoid facial features, an endoskeleton, lips, teeth, and two eyes with eyelids. How on Earth that got distorted by some fans to mean "Tali looks human" still baffles me, as all of those features are also present on the Drell and Asari, two humanoid species that no one would mistake for being human.

That Tali ended up looking almost exactly like a human in ME3 was a decision that was made during the development of Mass Effect 3, not prior.

Combine the info from the extended codex and Ascension with what we see through her mask in ME1 and 2. You can clearly see a concave humanoid face with a pointed nose, fair skin and cat-like white glowing eyes with eyebrows. The only things we don't see are the mouth and scalp. That matches the pic very well.
