Quarian/Turian lifespan presumed to match human norm. Likely not noteworthy in game. No mention as shorthand for 100-150 yrs. Good speculation. Adding to list.

Also i think i recall somewhere in the first mass effect... or maybe the second, where it is said that medical improvements has increased slightly humans longevity, anyone can confirm?

I'm going to add a few thoughts based on data the esteemed doctor might have overlooked

Skin: Unknown. Presumed to be smooth from view of nose. Color either shade of blue/purple or various pale shades.

I would suggest that quarians' skin might not be pale, quite opposite in fact. Rannoch, Quarian homeworld orbits a star that is older tnan our own sun, and thus emiting more in red and infrared wavelengths. Possible result would be dark(er) eyes, skin and hair if present. I don't believe physical traits would change much during time spent in space

Good input! Was unaware of Rannoch solar properties. Source?

Regarding skintone: Original speculation based on view of skin through tinted visor. Pale skin more likely to take color of visor. Tali's visor is blue/purple. Perhaps Quarians exhibit color variation dependant on longitude of ancestor origin. Good speculation. Will add.

I'd do that.

don't know if anyone else that read ascension picked up on this: one of the quarians that was running along rooftops on omega was able to easily jump 15 - 20ft from rooftop to rooftop with a loaded pack and shotgun. So I think the world record long jump is around 25 feet and pretty sure it's done without a pack, shotgun, or environmental suit. So either the suit is powered to enable quarian to run/jump faster, or they maybe something to this quarian pounce thing.

I think so, I need to find my Mass Effect disc and pull it up.

I believe that in the novels they mention something about that, but someone else will need to confirm. Miranda mentions that she will live half again as long as an unmodified human, but I forget if she mentions a hard number to go along with that statement.

From codex human lifespan maximum 150 years. As mentioned, due to medial advancement. 21st century maximum lifespan in 1st world country is 120 years. Averages approximately 75-80yrs.

Hello everyone. My first post of Tali love for the day. It's great to see we're inching ever closer to 1000 pages dedicated to our girl. Keelah se'lai.

I haven't read the novel, but I always thought that with their pseudo-digitigrade lower legs that they might have been sprint or ambush hunters rather than endurance hunters like humans.

Maybe nocturnal, if their eyes really are reflective?

I've seen a screenshot somewhere on this forum, in this thread possibly where you get to see her face. It's just a placeholder, just a human(oid) textureless face.

One other thing worth considering is since their homeworld is more arid than Earth, Quarian's eyes might be slanted

To echo the sentiments of Kilmor, the amount of shameless self promotion (which I have done a bit of too) has increased dramatically the past few days and it is beginning to clog up the thread from time to time. While I too share the enthusiasm and desire to share any new work (in my case music,) with you fine folks, perhaps it is worth considering the idea of simply mentioning it once or twice once you have new material ready and then simply set up a general link that links to all your work (or your blog) in your signature. That way it's readily accessible to all and we can all spend time in this thread doing other things than spam posting and/or reading through said spam posts. :-)

Miranda does mention that but no hard figures. Also, IIRC the increase in human lifespan is mentioned in the Codex in ME1.

Had forgotten slanting. Noticed previously. Somehow forgotten to add to speculation. Adding now.

Oh yeah.  If you look at Talis' face you can see that her eyes are slanted.  same with other quarians.

If quarians are sprint or ambush hunters they probably wouldn't sweat. I think sweating was one of the advantages that humans had developed to be able to do our impressive endurance running in order to hunt.
