She's like Darth Vader's cuter, younger sister: You will always see the mask as her real face.

CAT GIRL!!!!

No, not really. As I said before, judging by the similarity in DNA and leg structure with Turians, I'd assume she has some reptilian characteristics.
Only recently noticed that they have the same/similar(?) feet. But I always imagined them to be pink and hairless, like babies in the womb.

Whatever she looks like, she's one of the best realised female game characters i've seen.
Funny how in 2004 we were saying exactly the same thing about Alyx (Half-Life 2). Alyx still holds up well today but she's got nothing on our favorite Quarian.

Anyone know why the Quarians want so much to retake their home world rather than recolonise a new planet?
I think primarily it's symbolic, but also it'll be the planet which is pretty much guaranteed easiest to colonise and adapt to because that's where they came from.

I can't wait 'til ME3 when I can convince the Quarians and the Geth to get along in harmony. I want Shepard, Legion and Tali building a house on their homeworld together :3
I don't see why the Quarians wouldn't get their homeworld back if they made peace with the Geth. Legion states they don't use it anyway.

[/quote]sure its concept but its a better representation then the in game picture. they cant show a human nose under the mask then go turian nose (example). since that face was used for the lighting, that will be a close imitation to what tali will look like.[/quote]
Actually, that concept art can't be accurate. It has ears, and it's stated in one of the novels (probably Ascension) that Quarians don't have ears. I believe it states they have "What [passes] for the Quarian version of an ear."

I think it would be interesting to see what she looks like, but that's not the big priority.

I think Yeoman Chambers summed it up best: "Passion is good wherever you find it."

I was initially like, "ZOMG THREAD NECROMANCY IS BAAAAAAAAAD"

But if this thread wasn't dragged from the pits of forum hell onto the first page, I would never have seen this, AMAZING, post:

Change her skin colour to a purple and that's almost a perfect visualisation for me.

I am undecided on whether I want them to show how Quarians look though, on the one hand curiosity makes it frustrating, but on the other it leaves it to the players imagination which is always a good thing at times.

We will never know. If they show her face, pretty much everyone will be disappointed by it. I don't think Bioware are that stupid. If they do show her face, they'll tell us looooong in advance to build hype.

Btw, why do people think she'll be pale? There's no reason to believe she has pigments in her skin. She's alien, remember?

I actually came across a video that showed someone glitching the camera through a Quarian's helmet so that we could see the face, but it's not showing up in my history for some reason.

Looks like this is the thread that won't die.

Anyway I think I must point out two things:

1) They HAVE to show her face in Mass Effect 3. Mass Effect 1 had the meeting, Mass effect 2 the falling in love and the bastard camera man deciding to point the camera away from all the action. Mass Effect 3 has to have the reveal. Anything else is just bullshit. Preferably Shepard and Tali are walking around in casual clothing on the Quarian homeworld after peace with/extermination of the Geth.
2) Tali is attracted to Shepard, and Shepard carried out the sex with Tali (providing you picked that option). So they must be pretty similarly structured.

Also, who else was disappointed that after Grunt's loyalty mission you couldn't take up the offer of the Krogan female who put in an offer to breed with you? ..just me then?

This one has been done before probably but the fact is, this is probably the best picture someone has ever done for what Tali might look like. Believable, cute and human enough for Shepard.
