Mass Effect 2
Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Jan 26, 2010
After a violent death by an unknown force and a timely reanimation by the human supremacist organization Cerberus, Commander Shepard must assemble a new squad in the seedier side of the galaxy for a suicide mission in the second installment of the "Mass Effect" trilogy.
If They put Tali's Face in Mass Effect 3?
For Tali fans it will either be the greatest reveal ever, or the most infuriating thing to ruin a game ever.
For the rest of the Mass Effect players it won't matter.
"Oh so thats what Quarians look like, huh."
" @EasyPeasey said:... I can imagine Twilight Zone music playing in the game at that moment. That would be terrifyingly hilarious." she takes off her mask and looks exactly like your Shepard "Fuck that-she looks exactly like you in real life. "
I doubt BioWare will show her face in Mass Effect 3. The quarians mysterious physical appearance is part of the charm. I guess revealing what they look like will ruin that. It's probably best left for the imagination, even thought I am a big fan of Tali.
It might be fun if they'll come across a decayed corpse of a Quarian in ME3, just to hint to their skeletal structure.
If you hooked up with her in ME2, Shepard already knows what she looks like. If her face is revealed in ME3, Shepard shouldn't be surprised at all. I mean, in that romantic scene he definitely wasn't appalled by her. I think she has a celestial kind of beauty to her. A bit odd, but attractive.
"I don't really see you allowing her to die in the final mission because you chose wrong as a spoiler. It's really just a "you slipped up and chose the wrong people for the tasks."
i hate tali more than anything in the world big spoiler i'm about to insert if you didnt beat mass effect 2 dont look at it
"i laughed when that stupid bitch died
If they show Tali's face, it better be for a better reason than "Hey check it out I'm hot" or "Hey check it out I'm hideous." I can't think of any way for that to happen off the top of my head other than her deliberately taking off her mask (for love-making, of course), her getting shot directly in the helmet and the player being able to see her face through the broken glass, or discovering a half-nekid Quarian corpse missing its helmet.
I have a feeling she'll have a simple, humanoid face, although probably with very frail features and skin. Which reminds me, I wonder how/what Quarians eat.
" @HaltIamReptar: From what you can make out, she has two eyes and a nose; beyond that I don't know.If you didn't, I would have. I also doubt they will ever show her face.
I don't think they'll show her face because of their dicks... I mean they're dicks.... Which makes me a dick for being a dick for commenting on 'their dicks.' Okay, I'm done. "
I'm certainly no grammar stickler, but I like "because their dicks." Yes, they wont show Tali's face because of their dicks... :P
" To the "chicken feet and three fingers" haters, I present to you a list of everything everyone of us is thinking but not saying.6. Her mouth is actually an anus.

- Tali's accent is super exotic and cute.
- Tali's nervous bumbling during the romance, is also cute.
- The bends in Tali's legs + sex = abundant positions.
- Tali is packing some thighs and ass.
- Tali, like everything else in Mass Effect, is also packing sizable breasts.
7. Her nipples are actually tiny anuses.
8. Her foo-foo is still a foo-foo but inside are five anuses.
9. Her main anus is for Sunday best only.
well, she sounds like a young eastern european prostitute
so that's always a plus.
But seriously, i banged jack.

I'm thinking she'll look a little something like Anakin Skywalker at the end of Return of the Jedi. I can't imagine anyone looking healthy after a lifetime of living in a fucking space suit. She'll probably be all slimy and pale and sick looking. With big nasty bags under her glowing mono colored eyes.
They won't show her face. Not because their dicks, but because it's better for the story. Her face doesn't matter in your romance with her, and that's the beauty of it.
Honestly, the mask gives her a great deal of mystique which is very erotic, but Mass Effect was planned to be a trilogy, so there probably won't be a ME4, so with ME3 there is no reason to pull any punches or keep any suspense, and the fan base seems to love Tali (myself included), and it would add a tremembdous deal of closure to see her face. It would add a great deal of intimacy to the story to reveal Tali's face only if the fan wants to see it. So here's what I think would be the best way. ME2 pulls your romantic choice from ME1 and integrates it into ME2, such as with a short cutscene later in the game. In the same light, ME3 can pull from ME2, and if you chose Tali in ME2, you get a romantic scene at the end of the game where you finally get to see Tali's face. As for her face, I am thinking they will make her the hottest thing to ever walk to citadel, too many people like her to go any other way with it. Personally, I would love a full nude scene like in ME1, but we all know that won't happen after everyone threw a fit about it in ME1 (hell the game was banned in singapore because of hot female on alien female lesbien action). And btw, some of you guys' comments on this thread had me laughing so hard I gave myself a headache, you guys are great!
Ok, so you all want to see Tali's face? I ripped the model from the game at the scene where Shepherd takes her mask off. Not surprised she was still wearing another mask, so I deleted it out. I did however make one small change. I reealized a technical paradox, wearing a suit her whole life, Tali will not only be pale and pasty in complexion, but also bald, which she was. However the back of her "hood" shows volume as if she has a healthy head of hair. So I had to make the choice of whether or not to add hair, and I don't really like bald chicks, so I took one of Shepherd's mops and retextured it. So here is the real face of Tali, just with the addition of hair.
I don't know if this is real, but check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNzUwrYSyCc
I don't know if this is real, but check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNzUwrYSyCcIt's just a placeholder face. They didn't actually design it underneath because there was no reason to.
Well, I would pick D except I wouldn't think Bioware would be dicks for going that route. As much as I want to see her face I don't think, no matter what she looks like, the fact will match the expectations of the fans. I think it would be better just not to show it but keep building upon her personality (which is why I like her in the first place).
It's along the same lines as the Master Chief. Granted, not as big of a deal, but it just will never happen.It's not really the same. The Master Chief has been described in literature, but in the games he is in, he is the protagonist and not revealing his face allows players to feel more connected to the character in a much more linear environment.
Tali on the other hand is a companion to a protagonist who we have quite a bit of control over with gender, appearance, general moral disposition, just to list a few. I think they will reveal her face, or if not her, other quarians.
