BioWare Still Unsure About Tali Reveal

I think they should leave the mystery intact.
I always find it funny that everyone thinks Tali is an okay LI but Joker should be off limits becuase he has a bone disease. They do know that she could die just from kissing Shepard :| Not to say Tali shouldn't be an LI but it's strange that people find her acceptable but Joker isn't.

I agree with what some other people are saying, I feel the best solution would be to meet, and actually see, another Quarian. That way there's still the mystery of what exactly Tali looks like, but you get a vague idea.
I feel kinda bad for bioware cause if they don't show her face some fans will be disappointed, and if they do reveal the face behind the mask then whatever the player imagined would probably be off by a long shot. Kinda like showing off Samus's face... The fans were not pleased on bit!
Funny, I think Tali's off limits, because I don't think there's enough penicillin on the Normandy.xXxJessicaxXx said:
A plot twist for your plot twist, she's a Geth wearing an Ilithid's skin.fanklok said:
While I personally dont want to see Tali's face, I do want some general idea of what a quarian looks like. But then again no matter what, if the reveal does actually happen, the reality will no doubt disappoint a lot of people as whenever we are faced with the unknown, we like to create an ideal image of it in our minds, and when that gets overridden it can feel really crappy.
A good example of this could be how many people are disappointed whenever a book or comic gets a film adaptation as we all usually create the ideal voices for characters in our minds and hearing something completely different in the movie theater is jarring.

Tali always was an awesome character, but the romance thing shouldn't have been there. All the stuff you hear about Quarians and immune systems and children living in bubbles, then she strips down in shep's dirty cabin the Normandy crawl space... whatever.
The romance was only there to pacify the more rabid fanboys, not because it made any kind of sense.
I hope they don't reveal the quarian face, its much more interesting to be a mystery.
As for the fan art - its very well done. But its barely any different to human, and I will go postal if Bioware try and do an Elf in space crap for Tali and quarians.

I can't picture people being disappointed with that, especially since like Canagath said, they do tend to model their characters on their RL actors. I personally would hate (well, dislike) if they didn't show her face, it's like a cheap way of copping-out. What would be even worse is if they do another scene like they did in ME2. It's like being rick-rolled, and at the end of the day that's unpleasant.Carnagath said:She's obviously gonna look like a polygonal version of her voice actress, like pretty much every other humanoid-ish Bioware character ever.
I don't see a problem with that or any fan objecting. Casey Hudson is just hyping.
Crap man, I'm not even a Tali fan. I didn't romance her on any of my playthroughs I just saw the vids on (name your favorite video sharing site).
Awesome. Did they just hack the game's camera to keep it in the same place, or is that a simple photoshopping?icyneesan said:If they really wanted it to be hilarious they'd do something like this...
Anyway, I just think they shouldn't show the face. If necessary, Shepard can make some brief description of how she looks verbally to half-satisfy the crowd. It's like the Pyro from TF2.
At least the Mass Effect crowd gets to see which gender Tali is, and what her voice sounds like.
I don't really care what "Tali" looks like, but I would like to see a random quarian w/o its helm on to get an idea of how they look. From how they described them before their faces aren't too far from humans aside from the ears and glowy eyes you see through their helm.
I think they should show another Quarian, maybe say that the Quarians could have a custom where they unmask their dead before burial/cremation/whatever. Could kill Tali...
Hacked the camera. Was done with Halo as well way back when.Katana314 said:Awesome. Did they just hack the game's camera to keep it in the same place, or is that a simple photoshopping?icyneesan said:If they really wanted it to be hilarious they'd do something like this...
OT: Please don't reveal the face Bioware. Don't make the same mistake of almost every horror game these days by showing us the face. Keep it a mystery, because we'll always come up with something way better than what you come up with.
Same with horror games, when not showing us the monster, we come up with what scares us the most, and that makes it far scarier than what you show us.
Still dont want that to be revealed. Keep it a mystery, or make some kind of sacrifice. Like a kind of Darth Vader face reveal. Want to finally see her face? Well then, you cant have your romance, too, make it more meaningful by seeing her face as the last thing before she dies.
