whats your point m8?

if you're playing the game with crap settings on a shitty monitor or tv, you might not notice the nose and can barely make out the eyes

user I first played ME1 and 2 on a 360 using a cheap HDTV and I still could see her features clear as day in ME2. Unless you were playing this shit on a CRT you've got no excuse for being fucking blind.

I wear glasses now

I never expected a shitty photoshopped human.

Would be cute if she wore a wig.

I was going to say that it was kind of weird that they were so humanlike but then the fucking Asari are just blue people. Granted that might be mindfuckery if you believe the memes.
My point is they didn't think about Tali, they did the bare minimum and shit it out.

None of us did user. None of us did. However we knew she was going to be similar to an Asari, just another different coloured human.

Reminder that the Asari's design is used from one of the designs they did for the Quarians so it's all circular.

I don't think you know what those words mean

The funny thing is that they said they looked through thousands of stock photos and picked one. They seemed genuinely surprised that people were mad, they didn't even try to deny it. It reminds me of how celebrity photos were adapted into character portraits in Baldur's Gate and I think NWN. I don't think they thought they were doing anything wrong, they just were doing what they have always done. They had always cut corners in the past, and they never learned how to spend their budget effectively, or how large modern game studios are supposed to do things.

>You don't fall in love with the looks
Jokes on you, I totally fell in love with her looks, and especially her faceless mask and skintight latex. Her personality is great and adorable but my god is she sexy in that suit.

Ugh, i know. It's such a damn shame her VA refused to do convention appearances after she read the Sweat thing.

Drawn in by the hips, stayed for the personality in my case. And the hips.

Stock photos aren't just a free for all, you need permission to use some of them especially in a commercial capacity. Iirc they just grabbed this off someone's deviant art page.

...Sweat thing?

It's about her hips actually.

You stopped being pretty in ME2 when they turned you into a spineless schoolgirl to appease waifufags.

uh user you got that backward
I remember her becoming less spineless as the games went on

Won't lie, I prefer to think this is what Tali looks like instead of the horribly lazy theft job Bioware did.

Makes much more sense with the practically non-existent immunity her species has.

Having a poor immune system doesn't make your capillaries bruise and cause your hair to fall out unless you really are constantly sick, but the idea with the Quarians is that their suits keep out all that infection.

Healthy, but not falling out. If she had any hair, it'd be limp and weak, but not falling out. Chances are she'd shave it though.

it certainly wouldn't be this

We all know Shepard wouldn't care and would hold her all the same.

shepard is just being nice, pretending that the sickly bald pale freak is cute

True but it's obvious the effect the artist is going for is she and all Quarians are living an uncomfortable existence in their enviro-suits away natural nourishment and they use indicators of human unhealthiness that appear when you become a an unkempt shut in.

How do you install software to boost your immune system? Are all Quarians cyborgs?

Probably implants to better interface with their suits

Incremental changes in suit atmosphere regulation. The software would let very small amount of breathable outside atmosphere inside the suit so that the body would be handling very small amounts of microbes with its immune system. The software would monitor the body's response and increase the amount of microbes allowed in over time if the immune system recovers until the body can safely handle outside air.

I think (at least for the BG1) they've used photos of developers, their friends and relatives. But the artists actually did a lot of job making those photos into characters, there's a lot of expression and dynamic in those portraits. Every BG2 portrait is really bland in comparison, it's just people looking at camera. And for some reason there's some random porn actress painted blue for new Viconia portrait.

Dunno, but they did get into trouble with some of the portraits in Neverwinter Nights that were based on real people. I miss Spock.

How bad is the ME3 DLC? I paid 12€ for the base game back when I bought it but the DLC is 30€ and has never been nor will it ever be on sale because the price is based on Bioware points. Paying more than twice the price for a smaller amount of worse content sounds insane to me.

You can just by the complete DLC bundle, it goes on sale occasionally.
Just checked Origin it's on sale now 60% off.

Average to decent, just pirate them. From Ashes actually adds a lot of really important plot stuff, but they fucked up by making it a pre-order bonus/DLC. Leviathan has a pretty cool water planet, and the titular Leviathan has some huge revelations about the Reapers... so Bioware promptly forgot about it and delegated it into a war asset that isn't even seen in a cutscene.

Omega is mostly just boring action, but it has Aria and the first female turian, if you're into that. Citadel's almost pure hit-and-miss comedy. I liked the main mission, but some of the side stuff is just weird.

What the hell? That's exactly the pack I was referring to and it has literally never ever once in the history of Origin been on sale whatsoever. And I know this because sale tracking websites track history and until a few months ago its minimum and maximum prices were both 30€ ie. it had never changed ever since the bundle was created.

I'm not saying that really long loading screens for no reason is a good thing. But the flavor dialogue in those is definitely not a negative.

The ME trilogy was made during a time when games didn't yet need full performance capture. Mouth animations are auto-generated and then combined with canned facial expressions. There was no restriction in what kind of face a character had. All you needed to do was assign expressions and mouth movements.
But I agree that when there are canned humanoid animations it's cheaper. You don't need to animate new walk cycles when you can just re-use the human animations.
