You all know damn well she's going to canonically die in ME3, and she's going to have an unmasking, which Sheperd is going to see, before fleeing from something that is exploding.

Just so Bioware can fuck with all of us.
That would be a *****. She is one of the most 'real' characters and easily relatable.
Bioware won't kill her off as part of the fixed story.

Let me know if the image doesn't work.
Image doesn't work.

OT: I just noticed on Haestrom that Quarians have red blood. Asari is purple, Turian is blue, Salarian is green, Krogan is orange.They're the only aliens that I know of that have red blood, and it may have an effect on their appearance. Tali also tries to convince Shepard that she isn't blushing (even though he wouldn't be able to tell through the mask) at one point, so their blood may have an effect on their skin tone as it does with humans. Also, I am embarrassed to have thought this through so much.

I always figured she's whatever your imagination wants her to look like. I always assumed that was, in part anyway, the reason that she is so popular apart from the whole 'sweet and innocent' thing that everyone seems to love. It's because the player can project any face they want into that mask and so she'll look different to everyone playing.

If she ever actually showed her face I think that illusion would be shattered somewhat, hence why I doubt anyone will be seeing her face anytime soon.

In all honesty, Bioware wouldn't show it.

If you ever been on the Mass Effect forums, there are these Tali Love threads. And there are like 4 of them. The previous ones got shut down, always having 10000+ replies and fanart within them.

If they would show it, they would suffer alot of nerdgasm because it doesn't correlate with the picture most of dem nerdz imagined. Granted, I have my own image of her and I like it to be not confirmed. Just let it be a mystery.
About a week ago I did some quick basic maths, and I estimated that altogether, the Tali Fan threads on the Bioware forums have recieved just over 400,000 posts.

I am telling you, the love for Tali is insane. It's because of the same guys, Tali was actually a romance option. Bioware never ever would have believed everyone wanted Tali. Granted, I was one of them. x]
Same. Still, those people creep me the hell out. Great character, best LI, disturbing fanbase. I just hope there isn't a group of crazed infiltrator-obsessed lunatics, as well.

As if. Garrus is way more awesome. In fact I may go as far as to say he's

You sir, win at least one internet. I wouldn't know how Garrus's LI plot goes. I've never played a femshep. I just know that Tali is a hell of a lot better than any of the other options for maleshep, Jacob, Thane, or Liara. I suppose Garrus and Tali would be the best, having had a previous appearance to deepen the characters up (so as not to end up with the priiiize). Although it never made sense to me why they all have to wait until they're about to hit the game's climax(teehee) to get it on. Tali made sense because she was trying to boost her immune system, what is Miranda waiting for? The right weather?

Garrus' as LI is awesome, featuring classic lines as: "You know me..i always savour that last short before i pop my heatsink...wait..that metaphor just went somewhere horrible..", "Your..hair..is very...nice..and your waist is..very supportive. That wasn't offensive, was it? Damn it, i should've watched the vids...".

My femshep would've jumped him if she hadn't held out the hope Liara'll stop trying to imitate Blofeld in ME3.

Somehow, the fact that Liara is the only squad member ever that can't die no matter what you do makes me like her the least. I like cheating on her on purpose when I play renegade. I'm a jerk.

Ok if the rest of Mass effect is anything to go by (Miranda, Doc Chakwas, Aria etc.) look like the actor that play them: Yvonne Strahovski for Miranda, Carolyn Seymour for the Doc and Carrie Ann Moss for Aria. Ok Miranda has dark hair and Aria is Blue with a squid for a head but facially they are based on the actresses. So Tali should look like Liz Sroka - which is all good, she is a major babe. I would say very pale skin - no exposure to sunlight and she seems to have either pale while eyes or they glow. Either way I think that should rest the debate, we all know Tali is a babe I just think it's a shame we dont get a sceen like we did in ME1 with Liara - blue babe sexiness - why do I always hit on the aliens first time round? maybe I have issues? although I don't think I'll be hitting on a Krogan, Vorcha or Solarian any time soon - roll on the blue chicks with the tentacles - (phew spell check wanted to change that last word - the outcome would have been very funny lucky escape for me)

I hope they never show Tali's - or any Quarian's - face.
I second that! It would ruin the mystery that's a big part of their charm. Also, whatever Bioware might come up with, it will never be good enough for everyone.
I'm not going through this massive thread keeping count, so x'd.

from what we can see they have a relatively large nose, eyes are faintly glowing, and their skin may be purple, or the purple may come from lighting in the suit.
