Personally I hope they keep it a mystery. Maybe show a Quarian's face but not Tali's.

I tell you one thing. If they do reveal her face it's gonna be at least somewhat good looking. They're not gonna take one of THE most popular characters and make her completely unattractive at all.

If they listen to the fans and reveal her face I hope she's cute because that's what her character is. If they they do what they want her face should remain a mystery. I mean the biggest reason some people want Tali to be ugly is to piss off the people who they think like her too much. Don't please stupid people like that.

A possible and interesting way of action could be to only reveal it if she's romanced, and then, by player choice (chat option). That way, people who want to keep the mystique up could just ignore it, as long as they don't give in to temptation.

C'mon, Bioware, you're good at giving the player's the power to choose, why not make it an optional choice somewhere in the game? That way the player can choose whether they want to see it or not.

Maybe they should just have a "Do you want to see Tali's face?"
at the beginning of the game heh
Mass Effect as a whole is all about choice so I think it could easily be done.

There is no need to reveal a tali.

Serves to only undermine her sexiness.

i just hope that if/when they do show a quarians face it looks alien. not human with cheerios glued on like in startrek where different colour cheerieos represents a seperate evoloutionary path.

At the very end of the game. Yes. I deserve that much for sacrificing so much of my time playing these games. I like the whole mystery of what she really looks like and yes I find that attractive, always wanting to look but eventually.. I really would like to see.

I don't think it matters that much,just as long as it isn't built up too much.And i hope bioware already know what quarians look under the mask(be it human or alien) its just a bit *facepalm* if they haven't decided what quarians really look like.And i do think she should look like her voice actress (well if she's human)

It allure of the unknown would be completely lost if we saw her face.
That fact that we want to see what she looks like it part of makes her special.
Just like Jack's emotional scaring or Miranda's pants.

If we saw her face it at best strip of her of that allure and at worst disappoint.

In Pulp Fiction did we ever find out what was in the briefcase? No. Was Darth Vader cooler before we found out he was Hayden Christensen? Yes. Would the ending of Inception have generated the same level of analysis and discussion if it had been more clearly defined? No.

BioWare must have done something right to make this many people that concerned with what she looks like under there--let's keep that up. Mysteries are compelling, and their reveals often can't live up to expectations.

As a side note, a lot of the fan art versions of Tali's face give her humanlike hair; how much of a pain in the ass would that be, if removing your helmet for a haircut could potentially kill you?

I don't want to see it. For ne, Tali's helmet IS her face - it's what I know her by; what I've grown fond of. To show her actual face is an unnecessary step, because as far as I care, she already has one.

It'd be hilarious if they just stole one of the faces that Rule 34 artists have given her.

Nah. You see, I haven't even played any of these games (I want to. I really, REALLY want to) but I guarantee that whatever you imagine she looks like, her real face will be nowhere near as stunning/grand/weird/awesome as you want it to be. Any masked character of this sort should remain masked unless it serves up a plot twist, which this clearly isn't doing.
