Ok.. going to ask a dumb question here.. Why do we all assume Quarians use cybernetic augmentation on them selves normally? I mean if anything you think Quarians would shy away from that after geth, as well most cybernetic goes unnoticed or there be allot people looking like renegade Shepard ((note Shepard a extreme case of cybernetic augmentation )). In most normal cases the implants heal over to an invisible state.

We don't have to assume anything:  the final upgrade of Tali's passive skill specifically says that "modest cybernetics" provide a health boost.  Game mechanic and everything.

"Modest" probably does imply unobtrusive, though.  Although... under their suits, how would anyone know/care?  Hmmm...

I don't know. But exactly on that "realistic" picture form Vespaz. I'm not sure about the eyes but those "Wires" on her forehead are maybe some device to monitoring her vitals or something like that. I think it's logical.

Again I ask, how do we know it be so visible I can only name 3 people Who you can clearly tell have been cybernetic augmented and it be visible.

1. Saren: Note he was being indoctrinated by a reaper could easily explain why.
2. Renegade Shepard: Case they wanted to add the Jedi/Sith idea to mass effect? Really I have no idea why.
3. TiM: Only in his eyes which I could be understand would be harder to hide.

Really outside of those 3 you see many other Cybernetic augmented people who don't look it the skins heals over it or may just lay over the skin and be removable ((Thou I kind of doubt that one)). If cybernetics were as visual as people like to make them out to be then there be allot more people looking this part then Quarians.

I think this pic fits your description perfectly. Am I right?

Yes, that is one of my more favorite Tali renditions

I'm sorry something just isn't right about that picture I have no idea what it is but I dislike it greatly, and it not that it not well done or anything I just hate it with no way to explain why.
...

Why here my fav.

Yes many people are put off by the 4 nostrils, but for me it speaks on so many level from the day dreaming gaze of a longing site of a wanting heart. As well as that of the idea she look human with out being human, that it show what defines aliens do all Human life faces have to look exactly like Ares or can they show the fact way alien life can evolves onto it own unique spin of something so familiar.

Run-on sentence is almost unreadable, periods and punctuation, please
Anyway, from what I gathered, you think that Nightcrawler Tali is alien without being human, and that you like that.

Honestly, I agree with you.  I've always defended that picture from critics.
However, I have 2 main issues with that picture:

1) She is still a re-colored human.  Dark blue skin, glowing eyes, and the odd dermal creases all over her face make her look non-human, but frankly I think it is still pretty unimaginitive from a design standpoint.  To me when I think "alien", I think of things more like a differently-shaped skull, or an elongated neck.  In 3-D terms, you could create that picture just by changing the texture on a human model -- the details are mostly superficial.  IMO, a real alien design would require changing the geometry of the model.  If they are just going to change her texture, honestly I'd rather just have them make her look entirely human.

2) The far more important issue for me regarding Nightcrawler Tali is that it simply doesn't fit Tali's personality.  The glowing eyes are cold and inscrutible, and her face doesn't give the impression of being cute or endearing.  I don't think her gaze looks "dreamy" at all, and if it is, it is only because of the way she is resting her face on her hand, not because of her expression.  I appreciate the effort to make her look alien-but-human, but for me it is far more important to reflect the character's personality in their face, and that concept simply doesn't do that.

someone post it?

*adorable snip*

the artist of this one, did they do the picture of Tali where she had a pinkish face and white tattoos on her face?

You're thinking of the one that's a shot in profile from below and she's got kind of a cold look?

The pink/facial markings version is actually an edit.  The original has a more pearlescent tone.  Not sure if it's the same artist.

I'd post, but I didn't save a copy.

I did

Lol its not the same artist I myself did the edits in photoshop. xD

Oh, I see what you're getting at.  I thought you were going somewhere else with what you said.

You're forgetting Garrus on your list:  he needed cybernetics to survive being shot full of holes by the gunship.

Not a clue.  Given their history w/ the geth, I doubt the quarians want to be looking like toasters.  But again, they hide even their faces, so no one would know if they were.  It's worth noting that the unsuited quarian in ME Ascension had no visible cybernetics (visible in his case happened to include some of his insides).

And sadly, it's a game engine issue, too.  It's easier not to make a bunch of cybernetics to add on to models.

Well Sarens were easy to tell.

1. His eyes were allot like TiM
2. His mandibles showed a metal under the skin that pop up.
3. Behind his mandibles near his teeth you could see what looked like some kinda Bars.
4. His arm was defiantly a cybernetic augmentation looked more geth then tuirian.

The glowy eyes... well, the eyes of quarians glow. Too bad.

I myself would like Liz's face with an alien skin + glowy eyes. Just MO.

Only reason I didn't count Garrus is case his are VERY fresh there hasn't been time for the skin to slowly take back over the scaring, if it still visible in Me3 he will be the 4th.

He is a different Turian from the start. It's like he's a Turian Matriarch.
On the cover of the book he's in (forgot name), he also looks like that.

I mostly aggre with you.
But that "Differently-shaped skull is not right. It was dismissed already due to screenshot taken in ME2. It's from side mission where you are rescuing lost Quarian crew on some planet.There are dead Quarians, or their skeletons exactly and they have human-like shape of skull.

I assume that in most cases any cybernetics are going to be hidden, for the reasons I already mentioned:  nobody wants to look like a toaster, the "science" is already good enough that if you can hide then, why have them in the open, and because game developers don't want to have to deal with it on unimportant bystanders.

I didn't think Garrus' cybernetics WERE visible (I figured they dealt with his internal injures, rather than the cosmetic damage to his face).  I thought the thing on his face/neck was just a futuristic bandage.

Can see or can't see there Augmentations if can't just to name a few.

1. Kaiden as well as ANY human biotic:  Humans unlike the other races must be cybernetic altered to use there biotic powers while other use cybernetic enhancement to boost there power, If you carry kaiden around allot for Me1 you can get a convo over the befits of a L2 cybernetic over a L3.

2. Miranda: She is both an engineer and a biotic I've all way assumed most engineering ability need some forum of cybernetic augmentation to get said ability off.


those are the ones off the top of my head I'd have to look deeper but I'm sure a few Alliance navy group have a mandatory cybernetic augmentation as well.

Indeed. But I think he should look like that only in the end where Sovereign gave him the implants.
Before that he should look more... normal.

had a conversation last night about ME3 and taking off Tali's suit during the last moments of the game. wrote this up for lolz in a couple of minutes last night, enjoy

Tali begins uwrapping her purple cloth that weaves around her curvy body.
"Shepard, before we fight the Reapers..." Tali begins, but is cut off by Shepard who helps her with the cloth bringing his body close to hers. "I...I want you to see my face one last time," she whispers stroking his arm as he helps her with the cloth. "This may be the last time we see each other." She stares deep into his piercing eyes through her purple veil. He gracefully looks up into her hidden face smiling. His hands slip under her hood and Tali grabs them half nervous; she could feel his warmth pass through her glove that keeps her fingers from feeling his skin. "I love you Shepard," she says barely audibly as she felt the Normandy's cool air brush against her bare face. She opened her eyes and looked at her commander, her savior.
"Tali," he paused for a second staring into her eyes, “I love you with all my heart,” he placed an open palm on her chest over her rapidly beating heart. “The flame that I know exists in there is what has gotten me this far,” he said in his deep yet caring voice wiping a tear off her gentle face with his thumb. She inhaled the liberating air and the comforting scent of her commander.
"Shepard... I, I," she stuttered, but was cut off by Shepard pressing his finger against her soft lips unzipping her suit. She was nervous, but at the same time she was in heaven. I have my commander. The fresh air lapped against the bare skin on her back and the wonderful sensation moved down to her feet as her suit that has been hiding her true self fell against the ground....

you guys can take it from there...

Most excellent! Only two crtiques. Tali's line may be "I have my captain." Suit does not unzip. Zipper cannot form vacuum seal. Minor complaints to otherwise great prose.

This.  Any glow is not going to be actual light emission on a noticable level.  It might be a little sparkle from cybernetics, or just reflection off the retina.  The shot we get of the inside of Tali's mask certianly seems to suggest that there's a HUD in there that's casting light on her face.

Edit:  Also, the glow isn't uniform in the game: you can tell where she's looking.  Blank eyes don't show that.

That's true, but there is a lot more to a head than facial features.  You could have something with eyelids, nose, mouth, teeth, lips, and even the same skin color as humans, and still make it look alien.  That was my point.  Perhaps, they have elongated skulls, or perhaps their neck connects at the back of their head instead of the base (would explain Geth profile), or perhaps they have any number of other other things that don't alter facial geometry.  If the only thing they can think to change is her skin color, then I would rather simply have her look human.

2) Yes. However, they make her dark purple because her visor is.
The glowy eyes... well, the eyes of quarians glow. Too bad.

I think they only made the eyes glow brighter to give her face more expressiveness from behind the helmet.  For many reasons, both from a biological and a design perspective, I don't think they actually glow.  I think it ruins the expressiveness of her face and makes her look less friendly and inviting; it simply doesn't fit her personality, IMO.
