Poll: unmasking Quarians/Tali

[Internet Kraken]

My point is getting the Quarian homeworld back is easier than the Quarians are make it out to be. Give Legion herpes, and the Geth will fall.

Actually, that is a horrible idea. The main reason I said computer viruses for the Geth are the equivalent of organic viruses in humans is because the Geth can adapt. It's stated multiple times that the Geth are capable of self-correcting errors in their system, so viruses aren't effective against them. The Geth learn to eliminate the virus to quickly for it to cause significant damage. Hence why that one admiral who wants to brainwash the Geth with a virus is an idiot.

lol the video you posted was made by a friend of mine. XD

It's a small world after all? XD

No shit. XD

wait she is racist?

Did you somehow not notice her intense hatred for the Geth and desire to wipe them all out, even if it means throwing away millions of lives in a pointless war?

But the Geth are not a species they're machines? You can't be racist against a machine...

Maybe you could be metalist? Do the Geth divide themselves up by trace element; "Damn you Ironites always keeping a Cobalt down!"

No, the Geth are a species. Being machines doesn't change this.

I say do it, I think the fan base is curious enough. Also I lol'd at this :

ROFL!!

 

[kokoska]

things i want to see in ME3:
-unmasked quarians
-un-bodysuited volus
-female turians
-female krogan
-Hanar homeworld
-if they add any more aliens, make them something other than humans with bits on them/slightly modified bone stucture.
-more actual dillemas such as the 'kill/brainwash the geth' mission
-Elcor hamlet

and on a side note, geth are by far the most interesting race in the mass efect universe, with reapers a far second. they touch on the question of what sentience is, raising further questions on free will. also they're baddass robots. most interesting is that if you can dismiss the geth as midless automotons, your thinking becomes that of the reapers, that any lesser form of sentience is fair game for reaping.

Yes, yes in fact it does. That's kinda how biological terms work.

Not biological? The term does not apply.

I hate her, because every dialogue option to talk to her makes me sound like a total pussy, she is KINDA cute though of how she is horny for shep.then again, it would be cool if she got shot in the face and she needed medigel and shep could see her faec.

 

[RanD00M]

Betcha didn't see that coming did you? xD

Of course I wouldn't, I don't watch Doctor Who, so that reference would completely escape me. Well it would if I hadn't seen that clip with that guy from that one episode where.

OT: I frankly don't care. I don't care for the Quarians, and I don't care for Tali. She died in my suicide mission in ME2, and I had no real emotion to it. However Miranda got hurt and I got mad.

That said, if they do decide to reveal how Quarians might look in general, I imagine the best way to do it - without it feeling like a contrived "ZOMG look no mask!!11!" moment - is for your team to perhaps come across a group that had been ambushed. They find a few dead quarians, and some of them - it doesn't need to be more than one or two - had their masks broken/shattered in the attack. You can make out their features more clearly, but they still might be obscured with dirt/glass/blood/whathaveyou. The community gets a clearer glimpse under the mask, but the mystery of what an unblemished quarian might look like remains intact.

Just an idea.

My curiousity demands that I know!! It doesn't have to be Tali, (in fact it needs to not be) but I totally have to have a glimpse. This guy's got the right idea.

Not every masked man needs to be unmasked. One of the reasons why Watchmen was so clever, with the whole Rorshach thing... he was a regular, pimply ginger-haired man, and liked his "true face" better. Tali's face should remain a mystery. You can see her eyes and part of her face through the helmet anyway. Other Quarians, though, the sky's the limit!

That's a pretty bad example seeing as Rorschach was unmasked...

 

[WanderingFool]

I say no, they've been masked this long, and many people have their own idea what they'd look like.
If they got unmasked, a lot of people would no doubt be disappointed.
It'd be like if Master Chief was unmasked.

I never understood that. People get worked up because something ended up not the way they saw it happening. ITs like at the end of Doomsday Arcade, where they dont show the evil guy in charge because people would be dissapointed (though there im pretty sure it was for comedic effect). If the fans are dissapointed with what the Quarians look like, they can GTFO, its not their ame, but Bioware's, and Bioware can do what ever the hell they want with it. (not a happy thought from someone who wants ME3 to return to the RPG-ness of ME1, but still, it is their game.)

And he was a regular, ugly guy. It ruined the mystery... it made people upset. Of course, since this is Watchmen, that was the point. Bioware, I hope, isn't trying to screw their players.

Going strictly by the definitions we have for these words now doesn't make much sense, since the meanings of these words have expanded in Mass Effect. The Mass Effect games consider the Geth to be a species, so I don't see what your point is.

 

[scw55]

The fact you don't know what they look like is the elure of Tali. If we knew what they look like, we'd just see her as an endearing person.

 

[TheAceTheOne]

Garrus is just a badass, so he gets his own separate paragraph. He doesn't need to be believable, or well done. He's Garrus! >.>

In my game, Garrus died at the end. Someone hit my berserk button, I got soooo mad. I was like, "NO! DAMMIT GARRUS, YOU'RE TOO AWESOME TO BE ALLOWED TO DIE LIKE THAT!"

OT: I think they should leave her mask on UNLESS THERE'S GOOD REASON TO TAKE IT OFF. Like, if she gets killed (Please, Bioware, don't let this happen), Sheppard could close her eyes. You know, all that. I'm sure I could think of other reasons for her to take her mask off, but I really don't want to use my brain too much at the moment.

 

[OliverTwist72]

I romanced Tali in hopes of getting to see her face. I was hopelessly crushed! *cries*

I don't think it'd be anything major but it would be nice, the way they did her non-reveal "reveal" seemed like a cop-out to be honest.
