 Agreed. Even though they were already known as a humanoid/bipedal life form, Bioware had a chance to distinguish them as something truly "alien" and maybe even ugly, yet beautiful in it's own way

 

 

But, nope....they had to give her some hair and make her "hot", because who really liked Tali simply for who she was?! I know, what a crazy thought.....

I agree

 

Tali's fans are not interest about body or face, but character. Making her human-like was a mistake... Plus, Quarians can NOT have human-hair, because they're dextro type, and what about they live in environment suit to protect themself.... Let's do hair when you risk to die by breathing the air.... -.- Where the hell is the logic ?

 

This is Tali:

 

This is Tali too (with hair ok, but she's still better)

 

This is not Tali:

 

Please Bioware, tell me why fans can make better quarians than you... ? Really .... I'm not the kind of angry fan, but there is a real problem there !

If you didn't have time to design her well, then don't show anything. Because it's nothing else than ruining the character, and her whole race.

 

I wish we'll see a lot of new species in the next ME. I wish they will be well designed, with both male and female. I wish they will be original and logic.

The top photo was always one of my favorites even though it slightly resembled Asari attributes. There is also another piece of fan art that depicted her in the usual Quarian attire only without the mask. She had some sort of circuitry going across the one side of her forehead. Totally cool, still.....I hope they go a lot more "alien" with the next installment.

 

 

 

 

Personally, I would've preferred they left Tali's face a mystery. If you liked Tali by the end of the trilogy, it was never because of her looks. You liked her for who she was. And I think that is totally cool for a videogame character. That says a lot about the people that wrote her. It would've said a lot about Bioware had they not thrown a photoshopped Google pic in the mix. Mysteriousness can be really cool and really sexy. 

[Fufunette]

Totally agree Mcfly616 !

 

What about this: (I found those images on some Bioware staff blog...)

 

 

 

I can accept any Tali's alien looks, because this is Tali. I love her for what she is, not for what she looks. I don't want a pin-up. I want a quarian girl.

 That bottom one resembles early concepts seen in the Art of the Mass Effect Universe book. Just a bald alien with exotic eyes. Anything but attractive by human standards, if not downright ugly. But I appreciate the "alieness" of it. I actually prefer it. The weirder, the better. Sci fi can be so cool. I don't see the point in making everything so familiar and relatable.

[Fufunette]

If I'd care about beautiful women, I'd romance Miranda or Ashley. Even Liara. But I don't. Tali is superior and this photo just made me mad. I felt it like an insult.... <.<

As I romanced Garrus, instead of Kaidan or Jacob. I don't care about beautiful people. They're empty.

 

Jack is the only beautiful character I liked to romance. She's awesome. But they ruined her love story in ME3. Sad...

[Mcfly616]

I just don't think they should go out of there way to make people attractive by human standards. Being different is attractive in it's own way.

[Fufunette]

I read that Raloi have to wear environment suit too, when they're close to alien species....

 

I don't know what I should think about this.

[SNascimento]

That Quarian photo job was an embarrassment. I mean, there is no excuse for that.

[Terca]

For Raloi it could be to prevent contact plagues. The species would have had no immunity to the galactic diseases, artificial or otherwise.

[Fufunette]

Yeaaaaaah... The first word coming in my mind, reading this was "again?". Really, another enviro-suit race ?

[Han Shot First]

Before ME3 was released this was probably my favorite fan concept for Tali:

 

 

 

I liked it because the artist seemed to walk a middle line between giving her alien features & more human-like ones, and before the reveal that was my preference. I thought she should have enough alien features that no one could mistake her for human, but not so much that it would be a massive troll of the players who had their Shepard romance her. 

[SNascimento]

@Caesar The only thing that doesn't look human in that are the eyes

[Fufunette]

I didn't know this one, thank you Han Shot First. ^^

[MEuniverse]

I'd like the asari to have males or look more androgynous. No more obvious fanservice crap. Make them more than just the "space lezzies" and give them some depth.

Male Asari? that's a very bad idea. lol

[Terca]

Male Asari? that's a very bad idea. lol

 

I agree. You can change the build of a species to better fit the impression it can give, but changing the monogendered Asari to something else would be changing something intrinsic to the species. It contributes to character like the intellect of the Salarian, the speech of a Hanar, the humor of an Elcor, and the Quad of a Krogan.

I think they should redo all species in a certain way. It being on a new engine with superior hardware. I've stated on several occasions my want for them to make species move uniquely based on their anatomy. Dog-legged species would have a little bit of bounce in their step. Humans and asari would walk as they do. Krogan would have more weight and be more lumbering etc...

Pretty much what I'm hoping for. Each race should have their own unique models, including male and female. Non of them should share the same human model again. Thus the way they walk, stand, run should all feel different. There is no reason this should not happen with a far more powerful Frostbite engine.

[Vortex13]

I'd like to see a species like the Xenomorphs from the Alien Quadrilogy. Nothing but ruthless killing machines. I'll ignore that there's no evolutionary pressures that could create such a species, just cause they are so awesome

 

 

We already have a species like that. The Rachni are giant space insects that can combat people using guns, shields, amor and tanks with nothing but their carapace, claws and acid spit.

 

Unless your talking about the Xenomorph's form of reproduction; which would give a (potential) Rachni companion a rather 'interesting' love scene 

[SolNebula]

Outside of the Quarians I don't see any need for physically changing the races we have.

Asari are the must gorgeous alien chicks every respectable sci-fi franchise has so I don't see them becoming something different and neither having a male counterpart since that would mean a deep change of the entire lore behind them.

Krogans are cool the way they are; was kind of worried by that Krogan-like being we saw on the concept-video....hope it's a mutation of sort.

Turians/Salarians are awesome the way they are nothing is required. Female Salarian maybe? I frankly don't recognize males from females when salarians are concerned.

What we need is more lore and stories regarding their cultures.

 

The quarians are the big deal. Provided the game is a sequel I can see them gradually getting rid of their environmental suits so a clear design is required. I think everyone will agree that Tali photo is a misfortune and nobody would oppose if BW would outright ignore it.

In this regard I hope they remain sort of middle-ground between human-features vs alien features.

my favorite Tali version

 

While I'm fine with how the Quarians turned out, this was one of my favourite fan-creations. 

 

I didn't like the photoshop picture BioWare have us, though. Tali'Zorah still should have been wearing her suit in the photo, but just without the mask. And they also should of used her VA, Ash Sroka, for her look.

[zestalyn]

 

Male Asari? that's a very bad idea. lol

Totally bad idea because that's basically retconning one of ME's most important species.

But I definitely would have preferred that they were gendered to start with. Esp if the boys would look this good   

 

[dogstar12]

This is the best Tali picture

But back to the original question I would like to see a Raloi just see what they look like also in the mass effect conviction comic you see a four armed alien

I posted a wikia link, where it says they wear enviro-suit close to alien species... Don't expect seeing them, but on dirt photoshop..

We already have a species like that. The Rachni are giant space insects that can combat people using guns, shields, amor and tanks with nothing but their carapace, claws and acid spit.

Difference is that the Rachni did establish a culture, architecture and even spacecrafts and the like. The Xenomorphs do none of that: they just kill. Looking at them from an evolutionary standpoint is hilarious, cause I can't think of an environment with pressures that would lead to a species like the Xenomorph that wouldn't eventually kill itself because of it's reproductive strategy, but I'll get over that. Just like I got over the Krogan

Unless your talking about the Xenomorph's form of reproduction; which would give a (potential) Rachni companion a rather 'interesting' love scene 

Didn't even think of that

 You shouldn't look at them from an evolutionary standpoint. They were created by the Engineers (aka the Space Jockey's)
