What would you have preferred? Her to have a giant sucker mouth, and beady spider eyes?
They've always alluded to Quarians being very human-like - and in every reflection you can see into their visors they have very human-like features and facial configuration.
Plus you can bang Tali in ME2, and Shep doesn't bang ugly broads with creepy alien features.
Nomatter what they made Tali/Quarians look like,
some fans were bound to go "aww, what the fuck. She looks too human/too alien/nothing like I had hoped or expected or wanted."
They could have released a picture of Alf, and someone would be like "Aw, yeah. This universe needs more Wookie-like creatures. I didn't see that coming!" and someone else would say "This was the dumbest thing ever. They put no time into it. Everyone knows satisfaction equates from differences you work on in hours of photoshop and character modelling."
(I actually saw almost that exact comment on some mega-fan forum when I was searching up what Quarians looked like a few weeks ago.

Edit:
It seems sort of funny to me that everyone is complaining about the ending of the game. (I literally mean everyone, with all that petitioning shit and whatnot)
It's not your game. Sure, you paid for it and spent your time playing it - but they spent the time
making it, it's their creation which they (apparently) had future plans for - which is why they had holes in the ending cutscenes/story. They were leaving themselves openings for future DLC in order to be able to keep the game relevant -
according to quotes I've read by the 'creators' of the game.
Complaining about the ending is one thing. Fuck, I've got no problem with that. If it sucks, it sucks. If you don't like it, tough balls for whoever made the game and wrote the story. What I'm hung up on is just all the people demanding a new ending. I hope whoever grades those kids' papers refuse to mark their next essay and publicly calls them out until they re-write the ending of it because the teachers have all decided that kids' story sucks and his writing ability is vastly sub-par.
I say 'kids' because something as immature as asking a storywriter to rewrite a story because it made you unhappy/displeased seems so childish.
"Mommy, why'd Bambi die?"
"I'm not sure, honey. That seemed awfully sad. I'll call up the studio and start a petition to see if we can get them to make a more satisfying ending where everyone lives, and everyones dreams are fulfilled, and they all become millionaires."
Hell, I should petition for a different ending to Red Dead Redemption. I didn't know I as a consumer could (after purchase) tell the creator of the story of the book/game/movie I'm reading/playing/watching that the studio who signed off on the project and saw through every stage of it's development was wrong, and the story too, was in fact wrong. Hell, the main character gets shot and dies before the end of the game. That wasn't fun. I wanted to keep playing as him. And what was with the man in the black suit? Was he the devil? I want answers, damnit. How
dare they have creative freedom over their own story, especially if it interferes with
my enjoyment.
Remember back in the day when you didn't like a game, and it was simply:
"I don't like the direction they took _______, because I thought it would be so much better when I was imagining the possibilities of the story. I guess I just don't like this game as much anymore, or maybe I just built it up too much in my own mind"
and not:
"I don't like the direction they took ______, because I thought it would be so much better when I was imagining the possibilities of the story. I guess it's time to petition those dicks and make them change the game they spent so much time lovingly creating for my enjoyment so I can then enjoy it how I was imagining rather than move on to something else like an adult would."
"Oh, Schindler's List wasn't that good. Let's tell them to re-write the movie with a happier tone. Maybe a comedy this time. Something I can watch with the kids. It was too dark. Too much sadness. Too many people died."
This will start a dangerous slope of a petition being formed every time there is a large number of like-minded individuals (which there always will be thanks to the internet) who thinks the ________ (plot point) of ________(game) was _________(adjective) and demand a new _______ (plot point) for ______ (game).
