that question."
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.
