What she looks like for certain isn't necessary. Showing us a quarian in general or even a picture of how they looked before the enviro-suits would be more than enough. Some of the tech systems still functioned on Haestrom, certainly you could find a portrait of a quarian.
I don't know! I mean, there is the whole mystique about never seeing her face, however, it's that mystique that makes me want to know what she looks like.
I think a proper compromise would be finding out what a different female Quarian looks like under her mask. Then I'll know what Tali roughly looks like.

I'm going to jump the "show another quarian" bandwagon. I like the mystery of Tali's face. I think it's what made her interesting. However, curiosity is killing me, but only for what the species look like, not Tali, herself.
Still, I hope they don't announce their decision. Make it all a surprise, either way.

You know, partially i'd agree on this. However the Criteria for showing her Face is that she must have been romanced in ME2 and died in the last Mission and the game is imported into ME3. Basicly, you can only see her face when you killed her off. Imagine the rage of the Fanboys.
Seriously, i dont see her appeal. Didnt romance her at all, ever, not even for "shits and giggles". To me, Tali is kinda like the little Sister, a bit nerdy, lil bit cute, but no "Romance-material". Same as Liara isnt really either, too bookworm-ish in ME1, havent seen much of her in ME2 yet as i dont have Shadow Broker DLC so far...bloody DLC Prices. Same btw for Garrus there, he is more of a Warbuddy, you know, someone you go hopping around the Galaxy with, smashing People's Skulls and generally shooting stuff and then go drinking afterwards, but not romance-material there either.
So here's the Thing. If she is revealed, Tali that is, then make it partial. Do not show her full Face. Show a few Pieces, a little of the Nose, the Eye, maybe the Corner of the Mouth and a bit of Cheek. That way People can get a sense of what she kinda looks like without it being decided for them. Basicly you can please those that want the reveal while keeping everyone happy because what is shown is vague.
Kinda like the Sex Scenes in ME1. Only a little here and there but nothing "straight on".

To me it's a complete failure of art design that at no point was there any codex or art showing what Quarians look like without their masks.
Now they are trying to make up for this by turning their fanbase into a focus group about whether to show Tali's face or not. Yeah, that makes all manner of sense.

I like this option. It could probably tie in to some poignant scene down the line too (you know, when Tali's dying from an infection).DAJ_ said:
Just make Fornax magazine a real thing and we all will know what Qurians look like. Also im curious as to what Salrian, Krogen, Turian females look like. Two game and we still havent scene any.
I'd like to see Tali's face. Ultimately a game character's looks aren't as consequential because they're created. Now developers are using facial modeling, but sometimes that looks a little weird. Miranda is a little 'uncanny' at certain angles.
And the reason we haven't seen any quarian's face yet is because they're allergic to everything but themselves. Doesn't mean their visors have to be frosted, though.
EDIT: Quarians also have skin that's somewhere between an aligator's scales and tree bark.

To everyone curious as to what Quarians look like, I think it important to remember that the question is not whether or not to reveal Tali's face, but whether you want someone at Bioware to design what her face looks like under the mask. Less of a "reveal" and more of a "create". That is less intriguing than a genuine mystery.
I remember on Omega that you could buy a "titillating" magazine called Fornax the codex said that it specialized in xenophilia including Qurian umm relations. if only you could flip through it. 
Ahh yes, good point. I'd like to see this happen in Mass Effect 3 actually, Bioware should take note!JediMB said:
