We are still in an operational mode? I thought for sure we would be at 3.0 by now.

My guess is they decided that it's better to let us have one thread, then to keep making a new one every 4 or 5 days haha.

Found this on Deviantart. I would be very happy if this is the face Bioware used on tali, I only think the eyes should be a bit less bright.

I saw this earlier, and I'll say now (approximately) what I said then: I like this interpretation, and would be thoroughly satisfied if BW were to have their own close variant. One of the better Tali-face pics I've seen.

A bit scary though, I might add.

A little. But if Bioware's were to be similar I'm sure they would soften it up in the right ways.

How.. is it scary? Have you looked at a Tuirian? next to a Tuirian that nothing.

Well yes, but Tali is not a Turian, she is a Quarian, who I find to be very attractive in my own mental picture. In fact, I'd rather Tali's face not be shown, her personality revolves around her mystery.

I think that's a bit unfair to our beloved to say her personality "revolves" around her mystery. The mystery is an element, certainly, but it is not her biggest merit. I personally am of the opinion that her face should eventually be shown.

I tend to disagree. I find that a primary reason some are attracted to Tali is due to the inability to focus on her face, as it is not shown. Think of it like blindness, if blind, other senses are enhanced. Translating to fan's attraction to Tali, more focus is on her personality than her body and face, they are concealed. This makes for mystery, "what does Tali look like?", which draws a picture in our head based on her personality as to what she looks like.

I think you're partially incorrect in your first major point. I believe that the the inability to focus on Tali's face is one of the biggest reasons many started to become attracted to her... but over the course of two games and numerous conversations with the lovely lady it is most certainly her charming personality that is the primary reason for attraction now. I find this is true of both myself and many people in this thread, who have previously relayed similar opinions. Sure, it can be fun to draw a mental image of her, but I feel there comes a time that this mysterious element of her must be cleared away. It is not essential that we see her face, but it seems like it would be a sad thing to be denied the pleasure. We've gone so long getting to know and love her, and to never be able to fully know her would just be tragic.

D'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... Poor Tali, she has no family...

All the more reason for those two to get married! They both have no family.

Well, Shepard does or doesn't, depending on background. But my point remains!

Hey, don't be mean. I don't love him like I love Tali. I just think he's pretty awesome.

Reegar is awsome, he's the quarian Shepard. Only two people in the galaxy can take on a platoon of geth and a colossus with just a rocket launcher, Reegar and Shepard.

Hm. You may have a point. May I suggest the tried and tested methods of our ancestors the cavemen? One club swing and a female being dragged by the hair later and all is well.

Don't make me repost the chloroform pic

Hi KFD, i started a holy war over reclaiming Tali from someone who claimed her. Because i traded a bridge for her. He's lucky I didnt have any beads.

Hi Moose. Sounds like a party. But really gentlemen, you are all trying too hard. Let her come to you. It worked for Cmdr. Shepard.

I dont have the time to defeat a few reapers, a few thousand geth and krogan, and then rebuild myself after plumeting from a spaceship surrering reentry and then spending 4 billion credits!

So i'll try to Krogan poet approach, it worked before. *takes out a violin and places a heartening quarian opera song*

Hm. You may have a point. May I suggest the tried and tested methods of our ancestors the cavemen? One club swing and a female being dragged by the hair later and all is well.

You cannot do that to Tali, you might break her enviro-suit helmet, then she could DIE!

Sadly she dies from an outbreak on the Flotilla 7 years prior to ME2

Mmhmm. She was one of the first to fall ill, hence why they couldn't save her. She was too far gone by the time they realized the epidemic had spread, and she had already passed by the time they had a way to counteract it.

I think.

It's in the sly smile. 

Still a gaze to me but as I said difference of opinion. Like looking at something you really want with a small smile coming to ones lips, I could bet tali had this expression many a time looking at shepard threw her mask.

I see both. A marvel of gaming cinematics conveying some of the most potent emotions without a single word being spoken.

It one of the key trait behind tali, one cannot tell what she thinking or feeling threw facial expressions you have to depend on her vocal tones and body movement. Probably why she feel the most alive character.

I see your point and I agree mostly. However I did mention that it was 'a' primary reason, not 'the' primary reason. I am quite indifferent to seeing her face, in fact, like most, I don't want to see it, but I really want to. There are actually few people that truly 100% want to see Tali's face and would die to do so, but then again, there is the large group that would like to, but grew up with Tali's face being concealed. Honestly, her mask makes her cute, you can't see an expression, so you focus on her voice. Her voice is then 'cute'. I fear that this trait will fade should her face be revealed for at least a long period of time. I wouldn't mind a glimpse though.
