Tali has a rockin body and her suit is nice and tight
plus i totally like her two digit hands and feet 
Yeah, I was just saying that because some people are wierded out by them. I think they're cute though 
I approve of this topic. Besides Asari, it seems there are a lot of 3 fingered aliens, so after 150 hours of ME2 I feel like humans have too MANY digits. In reality it's obvious I've just been playing too much Mass Effect 
Quarians and turians have them, I think salarians have only 3 fingers too. I can't remember with Krogan. Wonder if there is some genetic link to be revealed in ME 3? Reapers seeded each of these species on different worlds to harvest them later on???
Quarian 2 fingers 1 thumb
2 toes 1 side toe
Turian 2 fingers 1 thumb
2 toes
Krogan 2 fingers 1 thumb
3 toes
salarian 2 fingers 1 thumb
unknown
batarians humans and asari all 5 digits
vorcha pretty sure 3 digits
So there are three reasons why these very different races could share the same hand and foot structure:
1. Evolutionarily, this is a very good design. They each developed it independently by mutation and it worked very well for survival.
2. They all come from a similar genetic background. Of course, there are differences in DNA structure, but if the Reapers could re-engineer the Protheans and the Keepers, maybe they had a hand in the birth of these racs.
3. Easier for the devs to think up, animate, or use the same frames and textures.
