The lens flare seen in the photo only makes things worse, both making the cheaply photoshopped nature of the picture even more obvious while also making players wonder if Quarian photographers typically engaged in the alien equivalent of glamor shots. Even if Tali's true face was especially ugly, that would be less because of her alien heritage and simply a design choice. However, this mindset makes little, as other Quarians already bore fairly humanoid appearances. Concept artist Matt Rhodes supposedly spent quite a while on getting her uncovered look just right, not wanting her to appear too alien and potentially repulsive to players.

Many fans derided the original reveal for Tali's true face, as it was clearly a slightly edited photograph of British supermodel Hammasa Kohistani, with tattoo-esque lines being added to Kohistani's face to make her appear more "alien." Ironically, this effort ultimately made Tali only slightly resemble her fellow Quarians, as she more so resembled a generic (but still very humanoid) alien from a cheap sci-fi movie.

The original version of this scene, however, was arguably far lazier. The updated version of this scene in Legendary Edition has a picture of Tali's face uncovered, which clearly matches the looks of others of her species.

The species are also known for their particularly weak immune systems, which forces them to wear protective bio-suits to keep an environment's toxins and bacteria at bay. Their main differences with humans were their skin colors, as well as some organs merely being Quarian facsimiles of the same organs seen in humans.

She was a member of the Quarian race, who were fairly humanoid in form and stature. Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, or Tali for short, was a member of Commander Shepard's crew in the first entries of the Mass Effect series.
