I saw this picture much earlier today and I haven't seen it re-posted, so I figured I'd bring it back up.  There is a lot about the picture that is interesting, even if you don't like it entirely.

Of course there are a few things wrong / inaccurate about it... for instance they lack the curved-back shin bones. Besides that, I think that the build of the body is too heavy for a female... the arms and neck especially are a bit thick; Tali is a pretty slight girl.  The nose is too wide/chunky for the profile that they give through the helmet, and the face overall is clearly not as feminine as what little we have been shown through the helmet.



However, there is one thing in particular I LOVE about this picture, and that is the way they did the neck and head.  The neck looks natural, and attractive, and mimics the profile of the Geth with the smooth line coming from their back, up their neck, and all the way over their head.   If you ignore the details the artist added, like skin markings and the little holes on the inside of the eyes, it also completely retains the human shape of the face while giving a physical basis for the somewhat elongated heads that Quarians appear to have.  They even have some aesthetically pleasing qualities that humans don't have, like that lovely swoop that her neck muscles make as they come down towards her collar-bone area.

Obviously Bioware already knows what Quarians look like, and it probably isn't like this.  But IMO it is an interpretation that has a lot of merit and makes sense in a lot of ways.

Well thats unfortunate.

And besides you guys seem a bit more accepting of other romancers.

Right, so, completely random question.
You know how Omega, at the game's
start. There is that Quarian kid who got
swindled by the Elcor? Has anyone ever
waited until Tali was in thier party before
talking to and helping him? Does she add
anything like she does on the Citadel with
Racist security agent and the Volus? I've
always loved that moment, since not only
is her dialogue awesome, 

    Tali: "I am Tali Zorah of Clan Rayya; and you 
            are an idiot!"
 
But, her presence also goes a long way to
instilling hope in the young Quarian girl on
her pilgramidge, since I always found it
kind of lame that we couldn't give her credits
or something like the kid on Omega. I was
kind of hoping she had the same effect on the
Omega kid.

No, she doesnt do anything.
I tried and was dissapointed.

Well, like Sergio and you, that's pretty darn dissapointing.
I mean, how could the Devs pass on 'any' opportunity to
have Tali say 'anything.' Hell, she could make a comment
about how she hate under-suit belly button lint, and I'd be
like:

*Swoon*

Still, at least I know I don't loose anything by helping the kid
out early. I always feel bad leaving him while I go pick up
Garrus and Doc Solus.

I think, as a whole, most Talimancers are romantics.
Romantics are, or at least I believe that they are more open to relationships. Hence why a character who has her features hidden can still captivate. Its not that we don't like the other LIs.

Wait, actually depending on the situation every LI do have their "downsides".
Liarra is the sweet "innocent", till your death and the two years in between that changed her.
Ash is racist, however you can change that and at the end, because of your influence reviewed her outlook towards other species and for that to happen, means that she was at least open to ideas and was willing to at least try for your sake. You death too, affected her. Without your influence, she back slided and became more closed minded.
Kaiden.... well I only have 2 femsheps. He's a good enough guy but he has some serious emotional baggage.

Tali. Her fault, at least in ME1, was that she was young, just come to age. She also carries the stigma of being Quarian. Like it or not, it did and still do dictate her actions, towards you and others of your crew. In ME1, she showed little interest, or seemed that way, but is it because she didn't feel comfortable because she's Qaurian or because she had no interest? I believe that she was intimidated by Shepard, by Liarra and perhaps mostly afraid of Ash. Even so, if you speak to her often, you find that she is a very emotional girl. Talking about the geth showed that. It is only right at the end that she tells you how she feels, or at least a glimpse of her own feelings, which I think she is trying to come to terms herself.

In ME2, so many things changed.
I have to admit my first play-through I had my Paragon who had Ash as the Li. Ash on Horizon struck as really, really dumb and blind to even accuse me and Cerberus of actually being involved in the abductions, even when Shepard and squad had just saved their lives and half the colony. Just as I wanted to strike out at Delan, that cowardly mech who blindly blames the Alliance, wishing for a renegade interrupt, at that moment, I too had wished there was a renegade interrupt and did something, say something to tell her just what I thought.
Same thing for Kaiden.

Liarra was a slightly different case. If you had romanced her, she tells you she was instrumental in saving your life so to speak. Her giving you up to Cerberus was an action that spoke of desperation in trying to save you. For that I was grateful but it seemed that she wasn't ready to go back to you or want any distraction from her taking down the Shadow Broker. Mission Priorities I can understand, only thing is she is a little too obsessed by her need to bring the SB down. Though at least on that note, she didn't quite made herself an arse as Ash did on Horizon.

Thus it all comes down to Tali who in her own words, who stood by you from the start. Backing you at first because you were her captian, then as a friend, then as someone she came to care about. For that, she deserves better then just a one night fling. No?
