      Garrus is MORE loyal than Tail. Tail be like "Migrant Fleet," while Garrus is like "I'm fit for duty Shepard." Tail is all about duty in Mass Effect 2 when you meet her on Freedom's progress and doesn't join your team until later, while with Garrus he immediately joins your team after recovering. He's there for you every step of the way! Plus I find that Garrus's romance is better than Tali's. Still, Tali is one of my top five favorite characters in Mass Effect.

      Aiste Duseviciute people get worked up over her face because bioware didn't make a 3d model, or a fully original image for tali's face, and instead gave the players a cheap photoshopped version of this: www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/photo/hammasa-royalty-free-image/123488108

    • @caledonianwarrior6288

      Tbf on the team they were being rushed and had to take out some content and modify the story a bit so they could meet deadlines, so they probably did have a lot of ideas of Tali's face prior to actually making it and were eventually forced to just copy a face, modify slightly and just slap it in the game.
      So what I'm saying is, blame EA

    Also, I think female aliens are just hard to distinguish between male aliens WITHOUT having them look sexy. From a purely appearance perspective, most people can tell if someone is a female based on breasts and eyes. But these are very HUMAN-oid details. It's unlikely that a lot of alien races would even have breasts or vaginas. There's the Asari that are very much like humans and the Krogans where you can't even distinguish between woman and man.

    I always imagined that there was barely any noticeable difference between male and female Turians (Least by human perception) In some deleted conversation you find a Turian who can only tell the difference in humans by the "funny chest bumps" I was personally hoping that the team would have a conversation with a Turian NPC and as they left they'd say "He was nice/annoying" and if garrus was around he'd say "Err ...That was a she." Or garrus thinking a long haired man was a girl or something.

      +Blaze28339 To be fair, the Turians are a militaristic race.
      Military is stereotypically a place for males. You wouldn't find that many women in the military since the Turian culture is probably male-oriented.
      You could see female Turians on the citadel as civilians though and sometimes as military personnel, but I don't know what they were thinking, they probably just lacked the creativity at the time to figure out how a female Turian would look, probably more pressing matters were happening.

    Using a stock photo for Tali's face, yeah, that is very creative and caring.

      Here's the scenario: You have a character with a hidden face that you're thinking of revealing after 5 years of anticipation. Do you? If you don't, everyone that wanted a reveal will be disappointed. If you do, no face you could come up with could match 5 years of hype, and inevitably a portion of the fanbase will be disappointed, whether because they wanted it to stay a mystery, or because they just imagined that character looking different than the final product.
      Oh, and also creating the face will stall development in other areas so you need to make the decision before you start.
      Oh, and you only have a few months to decide and finish. Every day you don't choose hurts the final product.
      Now, that stock photo is a disaster, I'm not trying to excuse it, but pretending this guy is a liar because of a bad decision is a logical step too far.

    well, it looks like they eventually figured it out by the time of mass effect 3. There are female turians hanging out at the silversun strip. And by Mass Effect Andromeda there's a lot of ladies for both the Turians and the Krogan when they didn't used to be shown.

  • @cheesyflames

    @mujuma Yeah, the readiness is, by default, at 50%, which means your assets are cut in half. Playing multiplayer raises that percentage, and consequently, your EMS.

    I remember there being a bit of complaints about the Asari basically sharing head shape and just colour differences, but they pretty much did the same with Turians and no one batted an eye, limitations of development budget, I do like how they added more variety gradually throughout the games and we did eventually get to see female Turians.

    That was a PC port bug. Dunno if they ever fixed it. I used texmod, with Garrus's facial texture from Mass Effect 2 before he got shot, which directly inserts the texture into the game.
    Made Garrus the sexy beast he deserves to be.
