Poll: Should Tali's face be revealed?

[The Last Nomad]

Tali? I don't really care, seen as she died on my playthrough of Mass Effect 2 so it wouldn't really effect me if I do get ME3, but I think that they should reveal at least one Quarian, or at least part of a Quarians face or something, but I think they should maybe leave Tali covered up because like the OP and a few others have said, some fans would probably be angry at what she eventually looks like.
If Bioware do make a Mass Effect MMO like they have said a few times then they really should reveal what Quarians look like because it would be kinda stupid to have so many people playing as a race that they don't even know what colour their skin is.

 

[Zeetchmen]

I think they should keep it, to keep her mystery alive.

Whoooo

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

Part of her intrigue is that the player has no idea what she looks like. I already have my own vision of her, and I don't want Bioware to change it. (Though I suppose it wouldn't ruin the game)

This, essentially. I too have a Clear image of what Tali looks like under her visor

....and for some reason......it's not what I expect it to be. Does that make any sense? The face I have of her in my head....is NOT the face I expect her to have....in my head.....

...I'll shut up now and OT: I wouldn't be very riled up either way.

Yes, yes they should.

Make it a moral choice. Make her REAAAAALLY ugly, then have a moral choice where you leave her and she leaves the squad or you stay with her.

I'm pretty sure that would mess with the fans a bit.

That would be deviously awesome, and one of the toughest choices in the Mass Effect series. But the very fact that Tali is a love interest to begin with is that BioWare has been keeping an ear to the ground for what fans want, and presenting a choice like that would put the skin-deep subset of Talimancers up in arms.

It's basically the "Can't have the cake and eat it" dilemma going on ova' hea'.

Let it be, that the Quarians could finally take off their suits, and than reveal her, romanced or not, in the game once the time is right.

It'll build up anticipation, revelations and finally astonishment to compensate for the mystique and allure their suits gave.

 

[jamesworkshop]

No people can't keep their creepy Quarian sex comments to themselves as it is, so I dfon't believe the fan base is mature enough to handle the truth.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Part of Tali's allure is that you don't actually know what's behind her mask. It's up to your imagination to figure out what's behind that mask. So, no. Don't have her remove the mask.

 

[Jodan]

i like her character but i also think that the mask is part of her character see boba fett syndrome

if they did reveal her i fear they would not make her alien enough. see sexy star trek alien syndrome. she is an alien i hope they dont make her an attractive human with messed up legs.

 

[Rex Fallout]

I personally think they should reveal her face. But only if you are romancing her.

I can kind of see why people wouldn't want her face to be revealed though, it adds to the mystery and appeal of her character.

It does but I still REALLY want to see what she looks like either way. It should just be a romance option, and it should- PLEASE happen.

 

[Baalthazaq]

Snip

I'd definitely like to see what she looks like, but I don't get the fuss. We know what she'll look like already. Like all of them, she'll look like her voice actor.

Spoiler

All we'll really learn is what Quarians look like.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Meh it doesn't matter much. Quarians are known for not being known so there is a reason not to show any faces. It's the last game though so they can break the rule if they want. Personally I really don't care. Once you see what's under the visor of her character model the mystery ceases to be interesting even if that's not the real face.

 

[AngryFrenchCanadian]

I wouldn't mind either way.

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

I think that if they do, it should be one of the last things you see in the game, and only if you romance her. Maybe her and Shepard together on the Quarian homeworld?

 

[Purplecoyote]

I don't think they should, it would take a very interesting part of the mystery of the Quarians away, there HAS to be a little mystery, otherwise it'd be boring.

Not to mention that it won't matter what kind of appearance Bioware will give her, they will get a lot of rage to deal with. I'm not going to complain if they do end up showing it in ME3 but in my opinion, they shouldn't.

 

[RedDeadFred]

I think that if they do, it should be one of the last things you see in the game, and only if you romance her. Maybe her and Shepard together on the Quarian homeworld?

That would be perfect.....

 

[Caligulove]

I wouldn't mind seeing what Quarians look like in general, but I dont really like revealing mysteries unless theyre done right and make sense for revealing them. I have a feeling that unless theres a reason that most fans want to see her face but have no good ideas for how to go about revealing it other than before sex in the fanfiction or just out of the blue with no context.

Personally, I've heard some ideas to do a Darth Vader when it comes to this topic. Mass Effect 3, includes many hard choices or even leaving your love interest behind or something horrible happening to them, before they die each has a meaningful last few moments with Shepard, each unique. For Tali's death, she dies wanting the last thing she sees to be Shepard without the distortion of her helmet- or something heartbreaking like that. It'll bring a rage from the Tali Lovers community, but hey- can't have it both ways if I were to have it my way. That and definitely makes it more meaningful if its in a characters last moments that something big is revealed.

It's sort of like the creator of FFVII saying that the fan outcry over the death of Aeris, wanting to bring her back or find easter eggs to resurrect her proves that he made the right decision in writing her character to die. I think the same would apply here.

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

I don't think it would be a good idea simply because I think it lends a certain mystique to her character. I like her just fine without knowing what her face looks like. That, and I think that just about no matter what they make her look like, it's not going to be good enough for a lot of people and they'll rant and rave about how she should've looked different.

That, and once we see her face, the mystery is over, it'll take some of the interesting bits away from her as a character.

That, and we won't be able to joke about what she might look like under there. XD

 

[Killertje]

I thought everyone already knew Quarians are just like Draenei under their suits.

[DarkhoIlow]

I think that if they do, it should be one of the last things you see in the game, and only if you romance her. Maybe her and Shepard together on the Quarian homeworld?

That would be perfect.....

I second that.

OT: Yes I would very much like to see her face.The sole thing that made me go "Oh cmon!" after Shepard removed her mask in ME2.

 

[HerbertTheHamster]

No. She'd probably end up looking like a supermodel knowing Bioware, to please all the neckbeards writing fanfic about her.
