Tali will the mask come off?

LINK :lol: The debate rages!

I'm actually not even sure if I want the mask to come off. It would be ridiculous if she looked super-nice and human- that's what the asari are for. Ugliness is also not an option, many fans will be disappointed. 

Something in the middle is nice, like this fanart

Didn't N7 post somewhere that there is going to be a Quarian statue in ME3?Falcon084

That particular pic could be a statue of anything, as we didn't get a proper close-up on it. We'll find out for sure when the game comes around

There's been some pretty have debate out this on BSN as well. My prediction, Bioware is going to leave us in the dark. It's the safest option for them. If they reveal her face they'll end op dissapointing people one way or another, leaving us in the dark means leaving it up to our own imagination in which Tali can be as beautiful or alien as we like. Personally I hope they do reveal her face, I always feel better knowing something is "canon" especially since there's been so much hype about it and the Quarians play such a major role in the game. You'd think all Shepard has to do is go on extranet and Google (yes google will still exsist then ;P) "Quarian" in order to see what's behind those masks. Lone_Warrior_66

or he could just rip the mask off of a dead one, lol

She better look something like this or im going to be pissed:

Well or atleast make her appealing visually. She is the most interesting character in the game and i dont want no bald freak.

Yes she is an alien but i dont care.  The great relationship between shepard and her needs to feel rewarding.

You and everyone else. :P The problem with Tali/quarian-faces in general is that everyone expects them to be both different from the near-human Asari, and also ridiculously attractive, a feat that, while it can be pulled off, will inevitably dissapoint someone. I'm guess Bioware leaves the masks on, but includes something like the aforementioned statue to give the players a rough idea.

I hope they do something like that...I'd rather see what Quarians generally look like before I make up my mind about wanting to see Tali's face...

Yeah, I think that's the best way. Give the players a general idea of what a Quarian looks like without spoiling Tali herself.

ya, cuz what if she looks like this?

Tons of ways to do this - a statue, drawing, holo, corpse, etc. They could even just hide it somewhere as a special easter egg

Btw, I like your sig psn, it's quite interesting :P

Exactly, and I'd bet that's precisely what they'll do.

... oh and thanks! :D Azula's a boss!

For curiosities sake, I'd like to see what Tali's face looks like. Either way, I don't mind.

If they choose to keep her face hidden though, I just feel sorry for all the fanboys who were keen to see what she looks like.

They really should just do it the way COD MW2 went about the questionable massacre scene - they just straight out ask if the player wants to see it or not. It's even easier with ME3 dialog system...

Oh, and I also think that Tali's face should look different depending on your choices/actions - this way there will not be any two same looking Tali's :)

"You're home Tali, take off your mask so I can see you again" - Shep

"It will take a while to get our imune systems back to normal" - Tali

"When will I be able to see you again my love?" - Shep

"Mass Effect 4" - Tali :P

< We are all assuming the worst. However she could end up looking like Jessica Alba.

This sounds like something BioWare would do. Compromise. They don't want to disappoint Tali fans by showing them a face they don't like, so they'll show a similar face. 
I have a strong feeling about this theory :P

Are Quarians even allowed to remove their mask?IndianaJones414

Allowed? Well, I don't think there's a law that prohibits them from removing their masks...it's just a "remove at your own risk" situation...if they remove it, there's a really good chance they'll get sick and they might even die...

Now that I think about it, I wonder what Quarians do with their dead...?

Do they remove them from thier enviro-suits or do they keep them in?

Bury them (bury where?), cremate, launch into space...use their bodies to repair hull breaches? :P

How could we possibly know if Tali is beauitful when we havent see her face?IndianaJones414

Some say beauty is found within one's soul.

Or some hopeless romantic crap along those lines :lol:
Point is, she's got the fanbase to prove that you don't need a face to be adored. Kudos to her on that.
