Not a fan of Space Elf Tali, I'd rather Bioware do something unique.
Me too. Hell I'd honestly rather just have her be human but with the 3-digit limbs and recurved lower legs than have her be a Night Elf from space. The books even say they don't have external earlobes, yet people keep giving her pointy ears. There doesn't need to be fae-like creatures in every single setting, especially not sci-fi

.
The other problem is that people who draw her up to look fae also give her those elven features -- delicate, pointy features with high, defined cheekbones, a sharp jawline, and narrow or almond-shaped sultry-looking eyes. IMO, those features just do NOT fit Tali's personality. She isn't some hauntingly beautiful intergalactic fashion model type, she is just... cute. Cute, sweet, approachable, and girl-next-door-like. I think that any design, wether it be human-like or alien, should capture that feel. That's just my opinion, of course, but I think it fits her personality.
