We know they are constructed like humans... sorta. Thay have eyebrows (hair), nose, lips, nails.

So do they look basically human? I read the codex but it doesn't explain much. Can someone help figure out what quarians might look like?

[Onyx Jaguar]

Nobody knows, in theory the developers know but who knows if they know. You can make out a bit what they look like but not enough to 100% positive

[Collider]

Quarians have an endoskeleton, lips, teeth, and two eyes with eyelids and tear ducts; and evolved from mammals. That's all we know conclusively, although I may have read that they do not have hair according to ascension.

Hair just doesn't seem right, and the only time their bodies are described is in the last novel, and that was of one that was near death.

[Onyx Jaguar]

Well you can make out eyebrows which are hair... in ME 2 anyway in ME 1? DIdn't notice much, I actually think they devs changed their facial structure from game to game.


EDIT:  Also I heard somewhere that in the novels Batarians had hair, and they apparently don't in the video games soooooooooooooooooooooo

Everything we know points to them looking like humans.

In fact, in that mission where you rescue that female Quarian from the varen, there are skeletons all around her.

The skeletons are human skeletons used as placeholders for quarian skeletons. But the fact that the devs felt comfortable enough to use a human skeletons as placeholders for quarian skeletons says a lot.

Here's an eyebrow pic:


Although, supposedly the placeholder face has no texture, so that may be an accident of lighting.

Ascension does not say whether or not they have hair, although given that they are mammals or at least an off-shoot of them, hair is a very likely possibility. I would imagine that they are probably the most human-looking of all the species you encounter. I tend to think of them in terms of the traditional gray aliens.

[Internet Kraken]

I imagine their body structure is similar to the Geth. Considering that their hands and feet are the same, other parts of their body may also be similar.

I don't think it neccessarily says a lot. It's a lot easier to use human skeletons that exist already in the game rather than creating new ones for the quarians. using human skeletons also keeps some of the mystery.

That's the thing, the fact that they went ahead and used a human skeleton instead of making a unique quarian one says that they look similar enough to get away with it.

They couldn't do that with any other race in the game except *maybe* asari. Even that may not be the case, their skulls could look different due to their head fringes.

I don't get the term "placeholder face." Her face looks different from that of other quarians. Do you just mean that the texture of her face isn't meant to be distinguishable?

[Collider]

We already know the Quarian general body shape. Other than what I've posted, we don't know much about their face.

[Xaila]

 I'm pretty sure they're very humanoid.  They seem to be one of the few races that have protruding noses.  Most of the aliens except Asari seem to have them pretty flat to the face.  I'm guessing their ears don't look like ours due to the description in Ascenscion which went something like "what passed for the Quarian version of an ear".

[MyChemicalBromance]

So I guess with that hair question semi-resolved, the next item on the table is whether or not Tali shaves.

I just think some people are expecting a major shock and that her face looks completely different from what it looks like with the helmet on.  I'd be more inclined to believe that the facial texture (kind of how skin looks on Asari v humans v Elcor) and skin coloring would be a bit obscured.

Her mustache?

Turns out her helmet has a funhouse mirror effect that distorts her face into something humanoid.  In reality she has a neanderthal brow and concave cheekbones.

The hood that Quarian women wear has been postulated to be a stand-in analog for "hair" that they put on since they can't display hair outside their suits.

Add on to this the eyebrow that can be seen on Tali in certain lighting situations, and... Quarians in all likelihood have hair.

The only other thing I can add is in reference to what Grunt says about Quarian being "hard" compared to humans and salarians. Now that could mean scales, or a thick hide...or could simply be in referance to their reliance on thick suits to resist ruptures.
