Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given

[Mass Effect]: You've Just Been Tali'd!

I insist upon a thresher maw romance option for ME3. If it isn't there I will hate Bioware forever.

Exactly
Get quads or GTFO.
Oh, we know. I bet you guys didn't realize Quarians are marsupials!
You now know what every artist who creates things that resonate with creepy people feel.
What I wonder is why so many people assume that Quarians are blue, and that they look normalish rather than having Rakk Hives as faces, etc.
(not that I actually even know what quarians look like myself)
From what we can tell it seems to be mostly their chins which seem abnormal...otherwise usual, smooth skin, 2 eyes, 1 nose, mouth in approximately the right spot.
Personally the art I've seen of them being grey clicks the most for me.
I always assume Shepard's blank expression when he pulls Tali's visor off is not a good sign.
He just sits there. And then Tali jumps on him.
I'm thinking they're like Sam from Freefall. A black-tentacled squid in a humanoid exoskeleton. http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1400/fc01346.htm

Juc Juc Juc.
If you can convince them to reveal Quarians have Vorcha faces in ME3, I'll protect you from the Talimancers.
well when you get close up in some scenes, you do see ,under the visor, what appears to be an elfish nose and the two whitish eyes...from what I recall.
Doesn't stop her from having the mandible of a spider I suppose.
the "quarians have normal faces" thing is already established in the novels
and juc you seem to be a borderlands fan :^:
also also
looks pretty normal to me

That's the model in-game for her at the moment right? If I recall, that model's just to provide some hint of features behind the mask, that's not what she actually looks like.
yeah. there are several points in the game where you can see the quarian features in profile. pretty sure if/when they reveal a quarian face in-game, it'll at least hew towards the human model. but you'd know better than me, right? :rotate:

Considering what a coincidence it is that the Asari happen to be babes by human standards....yeah the Quarians wont be ugly.
finally bothered to track down the relevant part
http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Storyline_II#Two_Traitors
near the bottom of the section
obviously you have to read the novel yourself but that's where the quarian face is described

Mass Effect has always been more of the future fantasy genre than the science-fiction genre and I'm cool with that.
Of course it won't make sense. The whole asari design is to be space babes , they weren't designed to make sense in the least. They basically admit as much on the Platinum Edition of ME1.
"You can guess I was thrilled at getting the task of designing space babes."
.....
"They didn't like an androgenous approach, and they didn't like messing with the face. So instead we just added head tentacles which could look like stylish short hair in silhouette form."
quarians don't really make any sense (regarding their immune systems)
but vanguard charge goes through solid objects
i'm willing to forgive both in the name of space opera

no one even commented on this but it was so funny.
where does shep even make that face anyway?
one of the many problems with the second trilogy is they tried to in some half assed way
midichlorians bleh
the second set of movies were just as enjoyable as the first in their own way
and i don't care what Star Wars purists say, the Extended Universe is infinitely more interesting and enjoyable to partake of than the movies. Going into detail about how things work is how you suck audiences into your world that you created. how do you think LotR was such a popular book.
Reading Wookiepedia (Star Wars wiki) for all of the technology explanations and character bios is one of my favourite past times (or it was before I read most of it)
DAMN STRAIGHT!
Novels are what, b-, c-canon? There's still time.
On the serious, I did think this pic was fairly cool.
I may be missing something here, but when did LoTR go into specifics about how things worked? The Silmarillion might, but I never could get into that.
I just finished the long conversation with Garrus in ME1 where he describes, in great detail, krogan testicle transplants.
Wrex: What are you trying to do, make me cry ? You want a long story, go talk to the quarian.
No no no, you see, when people in this thread post disturbing depraved fanart, and fanfiction staring Tali, they are doing it ironically, that makes it all okay!
I am ironically trying to scrub that image from my mind.
You sick little puppy.
I'm looking for PAX Badges! Please PM me if you have a Four Day, or any Single Day Badges to spare!
Now i'm going to ironically find that pregnant Ashley on Virmire picture.
And I mean a lot.
But that was because it was all hells of bugged and when she'd push me down a box would land on me and I would be stuck doing nothing until the commando units killed me.
I eventually gave up and started a new game. Haven't had a problem since.
And I'm not sure I would blame them
I copped shitty physics in that fit. She stuck me inside a wall. I had to reload it, but I got it done the second try. Worst fight by far for me in ME1 was the Krogan Battlemaster on the planet you save Liara on. Took me ages to discover radiation rounds cut through him like wet paper.
