Please dont bump your thread, ive seen the 4 day post gap....
Can we really complain about people failing to use the search bar, and complain when people revive interest in dead discussions? It seems like we either say, "USE THE SEARCH BAR," or we say, "NO THREAD NECROMANCY." What else is there? Either we repost the same discussion in new threads, or we revive the existing discussion.

OR, are we just supposed to talk about something once, and then never again, even if we are tempted to add to that discussion?
You have been sent by the gods.

TL;DR ahead

First, what we know:
1. Two eyes, at least human-ish. Possibly featureless, but with the mask, it's hard to know for sure.
2. Humanesque nose. Along with the eyes, this is very clear through the mask.
3. Quit it with the damn cybernetics. Tali makes it clear on the elevators that Quarians are not cyborgs.
4. Ears are different.
5. Quarians have similar mouths to humans. How do I know? Their voices. The only distortion on their voices comes from the echo caused by their masks. Otherwise, they sound pretty human. Only the Asari and Humans don't have weird effects added to their voices. Turians, Batarians, Salarians, Krogan, they all have different looking mouths, and they all have added voice effects.

Now for speculation:
1. Hair is a human thing. To avoid making aliens just be humans with bits glued to their faces and funny bending legs, humans needed something unique attached to their heads. We got hair.
2. Regarding skin tone: They will be a pale color, because of the constant lack of exposure. Judging by the general visible tone through the mask, it is probably a cool color, like blue, purple, green, or gray, rather than red or orange. Alternatively, skin tone may be telegraphed by the visor color. Not all Quarians have the same colored helmets.
3. No room for tentacles or anything like that stuck to them. The head is the only part that doesn't appear to be painted onto Tali, and even that is small. The back of the head doesn't have much room either, as you can see some Quarians don't wear hoods, and the back connects to various tubes for the suit functions.
4. Quarians are generally slim. I imagine this continues on to their faces.

Tali herself is apparently attractive enough to warrent a look on Shepard's face that just says "I win" when he removes her mask.

TL;DR:
Quarian faces are skinny, pale, hairless, earless, but otherwise human looking. Also, they're not damn cyborgs (no matter how awesome that would be.)

Is that Doakes, from the masterpiece of television known simply as "Dexter"???!!! And if the answer is yes, would that make this picture the BEST THING ON THE INTERNET SINCE PORN ITSELF???!!!! AND WILL I FEEL REALLY FUCKING STUPID IF THAT'S NOT DOAKES FROM "DEXTER" AT ALL, ESPECIALLY AFTER ALL THIS BUILD-UP????????!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the answer to all three of the above questions is: Yes.

Nope. That's Doakes all Right.

EDIT: Forgot to say the Topic.
Doesn't Matter. Whatever our Imaginations could possibly come up with basically. I don't believe for one second that Bioware will tell us.
Better let them stew in their own creative juices they'll say. Bastards, True. But Bastards with Vision

BioWare is wise not to show her face, as no matter how unfathomably improbably gorgeous she'll be, it won't be enough for her fanbase; which is by far the most problematic in the Mass Effect community.
Overall, Tali took a real turn for the worse in Mass Effect 2. While her role as Quarian encyclopedia in the original wasn't exactly interesting, it was a fair stretch better than this shy and timid Mary Sue of an adolescent fantasy whom only Shepard's manly caress can sooth.

But I digress. What do I think she looks like?
Allow me to refer to her in-game character model:

Whats wrong with NOT showing her face, there are far bigger mysteries in Mass Effect and after you do see her face it will just be dissapointment.

the asarians have that squid hair
Bioware is hinting that Asaria use biotics to make themselves look difirent to the diffirent Specias. We see what humans see while turians see somthing else and solariens see them with the weird horn things.
OT: I realy want to see her face that's the only reson I romanced her.
DAMN YOU BIOWARE!
