I think a great way to end the series would be for Tali to remove her mask, the 'camera' pans to her, but just before it gets to her face, the credits roll.

In my mind Quarians are an alternate universe Star Wars battle droid, Bioware will not take that illusion away from me! :)

Lmao I tell you what would be great, if you chose to romance Tali and then just before the end some Krogan Husk grabs her masks and rips it off and you see her face for the first time. She starts screaming for help and Shepard runs to her but it's too late as bacteria eats her face while she's still alive. Ye, and Shepard is powerless to stop it. Major sadz moment ='(
They wouldn't hurt Tali! :(

I'm really not sure. I guess I'd really only want them to reveal it if it's....right. Somehow.

My very basic knowledge of xeno-biology, biochemistry and having spent far too many hours playing the games...Quarians look more like turians than human (turians and quarians share the same amino-acids which is why the food is different in the bar, although how this translates into physical features required a massive suspension of belief on my part, and how that translates to turians and humans being able to breath the same air....and I need to stop thinking about this)
someone find a picture of an turian elf.

Quarian homeworld has been confirmed as a location to visit in ME3. Quarians aren't allergic to stuff in their homeworld, so there would be no reason for them to be wearing masks.
No they are at least slightly allergic, during Talis' loyalty mission she explains that taking back the home-world would require 60years to re-adapt vs taking a new planet which would require 600 years of adaption.

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.
Just want to say I'm not a talimancer, but I'm making this point anyway. I think revealing the face would just spoil it. There's no way they could make something that lives up to the air of mystery.

Nah, I'm happy not knowing. For me, it's one of those charming secrets of the game series; what do Quarians look like? Keep the mystery!

They'd fucking well better after what they pulled with the romance option, really that was the time to make the reveal. It's just perplexing to think that your avatar has had sex with someone without seeing their face.

i think that quarians faces should be DESCRIBED and not actually shown, so we can create our individual ideas about what they look like under there masks

if it was actually shown though, it wouldn't really phase me
This seems like a really good idea, but I doubt it will satisfy them "Show her face NOW" kinds of people.

As for when they do show her face, it would peobably take some time but I'll get used to it. The first time I met a krogan I was like "Holy Moses I bet God created you just to prove the fact that he has a sense of humor!", but I got used to them too. Then again, that's probably because there's krogan everywhere you go, and given that you will probably see the quarians face for less than 30 seconds, disappointment is almost guaranteed as there is no time to
get used to it. (unless you've got the free time and use it to Google "Tali face" all day long)

They could also show part of her face, or shaded or something, at least show some skin so we have something to build on with our imagination.

I'd like it if they showed the face of a Quarian and they're revealed to be androids. That would be great. I've always thought there was something a little off about their body shape and eye intensity.

you fools, don't you realize that her face is a helmet? You take it off and you've got the headless horseman as your romance option

While I personally don't think that they need to show Tali's face to make the game more immersive, I would like to see other Quarians faces. I found it kinda funny that amidst the explosions and shrapnel flying when you first meet Tali, not a single member of her group lost their helmet or had their suits breached. Bioware would not have to show a full Quarian face, but a damaged suit that shows part of a Quarian would help fill in what they look like.

I think it would ruin the mystery that makes the Quarians such a cool race, but if it was really done well, it'd be cool to see some other Quarians face.

But, id be absolutely devastated if she didnt look like this

Nah.

I'm not hugely fussed, but I think it would be better if they didn't.

a) It's part of her character.

b) You know that odd discomfort you get when an author's depiction of something clashes with your imagination, like seeing the movie version of a favourite book? Yeah, that would happen here. And people would hate it. "Oh no, she just looks human! How boring" "Eaarg! She's hideous! How could they do this to me?" Etc etc.

However, I wouldn't mind seeing another Quarian's face. Maybe Kal'Reegor or Admiral Xan.

I'd be interested to see what quarians look like, but otherwise I'm not bothered. I've never understood why so many people are so taken with Tali, I think she's boring as hell!

I don't think they should.
Doing so would just disappoint most people when they figure out that their fantasies were wrong.

Also, blah blah blah keep the mystery going.

What about the Volus? Doesn't anyone want to know what they look like?
That, unforutnately, is never going to happen. The Volus CANNOT go outside of their suits in an environment suitable for Humans, Turians, Quarians and Asari. If they do, they will suffocate because they breathe ammonia, their flesh will split open and their blood will boil out of their bodies due to the lowered atmospheric pressure. Quarian immune systems might make open-air environments very hazardous, but they can at least attempt it. Not so with the Volus.

They need to definitely do a reveal, it's the last game. We may never get a truly-canonical chance!
