WHAT DO VOLUS LOOK LIKE UPDATE

Judging from the dirty glares he was getting by the mass of beings in line, the volus was the only one amongst them who didn't want to go inside. Nid approached slowly, skirting the lines and held back more by fear of what lay beyond than the intimidating posture of the guards. With a strict limit on the number of people allowed in Afterlife at any given time, the guards would sometimes accompany their words with displays of physical force when the potential patron threatened violence which, given Aria's reputation amongst the station, didn't occur very often. Batarians, krogans and even an elcor stood silent watch, speaking only to placate the more foolish beings in the crowd that complained at the wait to enter. The volus' consternation was not aided by the twin pillars of flame that burned forebodingly on either side of the sign, nor the presence of so many brutish and well armed guards that staffed the entrance. But the Mass Effect Legendary Edition delivered in one of the most unexpected ways, finally ending years of what-if fanart collections.The well manned doors of Afterlife loomed large ahead of Avo Nid, the sight of the red neon lettering sending a brief chill down his spine. She holds a special place in the hearts of many fans, and to see her role in Mass Effect 3 bookended by a stock image has been a tough pill to swallow for nearly a decade. Tali is one of the only two characters to appear as squad mates in all three games (with Garrus as the second and Liara being a close third if you include the Shadow Broker DLC for Mass Effect 2). There are also some edge lines on TaliвЂ™s brow, suggesting a not-quite-Klingon forehead resting near her hairline. TaliвЂ™s eyes normally glow through her mask, so itвЂ™s likely the image doesnвЂ™t capture how bright they are without her mask.

First, her eyes are almost entirely white, with some slight darkness around the pupils and iris. Her face looks almost human, with two notable exceptions. Unlike the original stock image that showed Tali outside of her entire Quarian suit, the new image only shows TaliвЂ™s face, with the rest of her head covered in her usual purple headdress. Not only does this give players the first real look of TaliвЂ™s face, it also shows what Quarians look like under the mask. This is significant for Tali and Quarian fans alike. But as time passed and more players met the proper conditions to see the image, players realized the replacement image is now officially canon. The new image is so good that players in the thread on the Mass Effect subreddit called it an impressive photoshop. Players who rushed through the Legendary Edition found a fully rendered image of Tali, maskless, sitting on ShepardвЂ™s bed stand. Finally, a good look at TaliвЂ™s real face Image: BioWare/Electronic Arts via Reddit user MaxgoodsД«ut the Legendary Edition undoes one of Mass Effect 3вЂ™s greatest sins - at least for fans of the geeky, loyal Quarian. BioWare planted the image in Mass Effect 3 back in 2012 - which was extremely blurry and hard to see - and never updated it. But the original version of the image was a stock photo of what appears to be a dark-haired woman posing in the country. This image of Tali shouldвЂ™ve been a big deal for players back in 2012, as itвЂ™s the only chance to see TaliвЂ™s true face, despite her presence in all three Mass Effect games. Tali is a Quarian, an alien race that lives their entire lives on ships, leading to a compromised immune system that forces them to wear masks at all times. Players who romance fellow Normandy crewmate TaliвЂ™Zorah nar Rayya (known as vas Normandy, due to her affiliation with ShepardвЂ™s ship) in both Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 got a special treat in 2012: a picture of Tali without her mask on, set on their bedside table.

The old stock image is gone, replaced with a visible rendering of TaliвЂ™s visible face, breathing in the non-toxic air of her homeworld, Rannoch.

Players discovered one such change over the weekend, with a major, but easily missable, update to TaliвЂ™ZorahвЂ™s infamous maskless picture. BioWare clearly put some love into the Mass Effect Legendary edition, with a host of small changes included for the biggest of Mass Effect fans.
