@Aislinn: Wow, your trailer is spectacular. I really like the soundtrack you put together, really evocative. But I have to admit (this is not your fault) that the focus on Harbinger at the start made me cringe because his tone and dialogue are so corny. Seriously, the tone he says "Know this" in is totally identical to Dr. Evil's tone in the second Austin Powers movie. I half expected him to continue into..."Shepard...I am your father..."

Oh and about ourselves in femShep. Not really in any direct sense, but since Lia is my "canon" Shep I basically tried to do what I think I might do in that situation in order to get the job done without too much collatoral damage.

Edit: ToP femShep scenic view!

Of course that doesn't count all the ones I've deleted.  We don't talk about them.

Some of us do. *sniff*  Some of us do.  Oh Rhona...

Edit- Not that I'm saying I don't love Teagan and Caroline.  I'm just sayin'.

Oh, and, Caroline+visor+beret=Me swooning out of my chair.  Which sucks 'cause catching up on about 20+ pages of femShep thread has left me bruised with the fainting.  What with all the Arrival pics of Marge and UJ and Hrist and, well, pretty much every Shep.

So I finally came up with a halfway decent FemShep question (which may or may not have been asked before):

Your FemShep, in one word and only one word. Go!

Oh.. that's a really hard one... it depends on if it's before or after Arrival
Sarah Pre Arrival: Dedicated
Sarah after Arrival: Broken

@Aislinn - Another great vid! I'll agree with whoever (I forget) said that they would rather watch your vid than play the DLC.

ME2 Arrival FemShep Trailer  (Available in 1080 HD)

A few things of note.  It has a different flow than the original as well as differing dialogue.  I also used music from the DLC (and a few sound effects), from about 4 different tracks edited together.  I think it's a great soundtrack and was surprised they didn't use more of it in the original trailer.  I wish I knew who the composer was, haven't been able to find out as of yet.

It's a tad more spoilery, but not too much so.  I tried to make it feel a little more epic, emotional and slightly Paragon. Anyway, hope you enjoy it!

Amazing video again, Aislinn.

But again great editiing Aislinn

Wow, I was asleep for a few hours and there's four pages of stuff. You're nuts, all of you!

On that note, a femshep that looks like Amanda Tapping would be awesum.

Shepard: I think the beacon suffered a major malfunction to it's processor core and power supply that resulted in-
Anderson: Shepard! I haven't had coffee yet!
Shepard: It burned a bunch of images into my brain and blew up.

I might have just let out a loud and brief chortle.

@Aislinn
Lovely work with the trailer, as usual. I think it's much better than the original, if a bit spoilerific.

I think I was supposed to say something else too, but I forgot it a few pages back. So I'll just leave a barrage of mediocre screenshots here.




Pitne For: Oh dear, not that low.


Adria: What? I can't have a snack while on a mission?


Random crewmember: Agh! What the...?
Kelly: Commander, do you remember our talk about sexual harassment in the workplace?
Adria: My ship, my rules.


Some of those could have used some cropping, but I'm kind of in a hurry. Click for original size.

I like talking about them...and I actually ran a fun little experiment the other day with your Lena Shepard template. I remember you saying you couldn't get into her because you couldn't match up her look with Hale's voice. I disagree with the voice, I think it could work but I'll be totally honest and say that I simply think you managed to make her too gorgeous. I actually cought myself doing a: "I'm sorry, what?" moment in one scene, simply cuz she was so bloody gorgeous that I wasn't really paying attention to the game...though given that I've played the game 10 times and know the script almost by heart might also have had a hand in that...but I digress.

nice! finally had a minute to watch it. really, really nice.

hmmm... i like that paragon line, too. i got so annoyed at the end i went pure renegade lines, but i do like the regretful line. have to replay arrival anyhow for the cheevos, so mebbe i'll do that instead. glad you vid was spoilery for that reason. 

and re: youtube trolls - sheesh - i seriously think youtube has among the DUMBEST users on the planet. i see comments all over the place there that do nothing but belie the idiocy of the posting person. so yeah, i know what you mean, but i'm glad you're still representing femshep! 

(seriously though, love your vids, and i love that they star your femsheps)

And maybe I'm lame as I only have 2 femsheps. 

I only have one [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/joyful.png[/smilie]  Because Bioware did such an amazing job, the voice/face/character are inextricably tied together, burned into my brain. I know I'm not alone in that, there are others here with that 'problem'. 

I could probably play through as another character if her dialogue wasn't voiced though!

pretty much this.

Sable Phoenix wrote...

Every character has a bit of the writer in it.  In fact, the best characters are aspects of the writer's personality and history, expanded upon and explored.  Think of, say, G'Kar and Ivanova from Babylon 5, both of them self-proclaimed self-inserts of aspects of J. Michael Straczynski's personality, and two of the most memorable characters in a show populated with nothing but memorable characters.

The same goes for players.  A character is birthed from an aspect of yourself, even if they build themselves out of it.

and this. totally that^

i think you have to put a little of yourself into a character if they're anything beyond a passing extra to the plot. you really do, if only to sympathize enough with them to give them believable motivation.

of course, i've also always had the opinion that fiction writers have to be a little split personality for the same reason. kind of like actors that way, i guess. or maybe writers are all just crazy.

....and back home from work, saw Aislinn's video and it's great as her work tends to be.

Now, off to bed earlier rather than later.

'night.

[NM7]

It's taken me two thirds of my lunch hour to catch up with this thread!

@Aislinn: Another really good video. I enjoyed watching it more than playing Arrival.

And going back, what? 10 hours?

About the Thane romance? I'll take your word for it. I've only seen it once and that was about a year ago and I don't really remember anything from it to be honest.

As for part of yourself being in your characters. There's defintely bits of my personality in all three of my femsheps, but they each have their own unique aspects and none of them are a self insert.

Hi all. I posted this originally in the FemShep group and it has been recommended to me that I repost here. So I am gladly doing so. Here's my favorite Shep and the only one I still like to play. I've posted a few pics elsewhere, so here's the bio.<br />
<br />
Name: Ariadne "Ari" Shepard<br />
Background: Colonist, War Hero<br />
Alignment: Paragon (was only 10% renegade in ME and 1st playthrough of ME2. more renegade so far on 2nd playthrough of ME2)<br />
class: Soldier<br />
Favorite Combat Ability or Abilities: Sniper rifle<br />
<br />
Decisions, decisions, decisions....<br />
<br />
ME1 Council: saved<br />
The Rachni: let live<br />
What happened on Feros?: managed to save all colonists<br />
Virmire: Chief died, LT came home to the Normandy<br />
Conrad Verner: played nice with him<br />
Noveria: stole some files for Lorik... let the rachni live... can't remember what else<br />
Bring Down the Sky: i haven't played this<br />
Anderson or Udina: Anderson<br />
<br />
ME2 and the Council: reinstated as Spectre<br />
The Collector Base: nuked that baby<br />
Suicide Mission casualties: none first playthrough<br />
The Geth: rewritten<br />
Tali: told no one of Tali's father's experiments<br />
Genophage cure data: can't recall... whatever the paragon choice was<br />
Overlord: haven't played<br />
Kasumi: let her keep the files<br />
<br />
Personal stuff<br />
<br />
Romance: Kaidan<br />
<br />
Why Shepard and her LI are such a great match: <br />
he's always got her back... so to speak<br />
good chemistry all around, it would take a lot to get either of them to break regs, after all<br />
<br />
Best Friends: <br />
Liara, because she's awesome like that<br />
<br />
Personality:<br />
Resilient. Can be aloof until she lets you in. Tends towards anxiety, but high stress scenarios have a calming effect on her. The slaver raid on Mindoir was not the worst tragedy of her life, though it was incredibly traumatic. The biggest tragedy was her mother's death when she was just a preteen. In the wake of that event, her father had a bad grief response, started stockpiling weapons militia-style and training his daughter to shoot, fight, etc. Ari survived Mindoir with a bit of luck and a lot of training. Her father had caches of food and weapons all around his fields and the surrounded wooded areas. She evaded detection and made her first kills during the Mindoir attack. When the Alliance picked her up, she was freed from the eccentric life her father had forced her into, but her combat skills did not go unnoticed. (To fit with canon of both parents dying on Mindoir, I imagine she either had a stepmother and step-siblings who died in the slaver raid or else she straight up lied upon being rescued and made up an idyllic family scenario, which may never have been questioned depending on the state of record keeping for an outpost farming colony). Ari does not think of herself as a war hero and is profoundly embarrassed to be called one. She's had her share of lovers, though had been in the midst of 2 or 3 year dry spell-- by choice-- before Ilos, when she realized that she didn't really give a sh*t about the fraternization regs anymore.<br />
<br />
Three fun facts: <br />
1) Ari can dance really really well, but takes immense pleasure in pretending to be all left feet and awkwardness<br />
2) Until the destruction of the original Normandy, still carried around a large and slightly irridescent hex nut that her first boyfriend--who died on Mindoir-- had once given to her when they were just kids<br />
3) Had a fake identity with full documentation (name, Adela Martinez) that she used-- primarily after the Blitz-- when traveling in order to avoid drawing attention to herself<br />
<br />
Screenshots:<br />
<br />
In ME, discrete flirtation<br />
<br />
<br />
In ME2, with Liara and dead fish<br />
<br />

ooo, I sooo love your Shep! Any chance of getting sliders or ME2 code so I can copy you? Please please please *puppy eyes*

@Aislinn, great video, as always !

And to answer the question running around here, I don't know `but I'm guessing parts of Jen are basically me...but not all of her, she grew into her own unique self after a while.

[Silmane]

 
Lucaria Shepard with Garrus, her knight in broke ass armor. He's got her back no matter what. 


Joker, gonna need a pick up. Now. 


Calm before the storm.

Also, video in the sig of Lucaria. Love this character.

I really like the heavy Ursa armour but the N7 Onyx heavy armour looks damn good too. Choices, choices...

Thanks guys, I'm feeling a little better this morning.  Not taking my medicine tends to make me feel horrible.  And cranky.



As for ELE's Lena, I liked her too.  She was super cute.  Especially dug her little beauty mark.

Heh... I'm still sticking with Onyx medium until I find a set of Duelist medium and/or Colossus medium (I used this play-through's BDtS to get Tali her Colossus armor)...

BANG!

[Tup3x]

You know, I've got tired of playing the whole game in ****** poor armour just to get something better on Ilos. At that point it doesn't even matter so now I just bind numpad 4 and 7 for ursa and onyx heavy armours.

Adept or not, I like heavy armour.

[jeweledleah]

you know, I'm almost jealous of those of you who can focus on just one femshep. I keep making more...and more...and more... I'm actually thinking about maybe creating another one, must...stop..self. voice doesn't bother me, some how it just blends into their personalities and it fits, no matter the face. using variety of lines helps, of course, but in general...I'm actually having more trouble with Mark Meer fitting some of my male sheps, but that's what I get for designing one of them to look like Patrick steward - I keep expecting captain picard's voice

as for personality..I suppose they all have little pieces and fragments, but all of them evolved. (did design Leah to look like me and tried to play her as me for a while) I'm finally starting to get the merit of role playing, until ME, I just never understood, I couldn't pretend to be someone else..I was just.. me :/

[sagefic]

nruuugggh... oh 5 o' clock am - i am so productive when i get up this early, but it's EARLY

but i got another fanfic chapter written and up. now i need to put in some time on my own fic world.

Endgame 6: Nothin' Left to Lose

^ in which the awesomeness of janis jopin makes kyrie's playlist. also kaidan going through messages (warning, smut involved, though i do tone it back so fanfic.net doesn't kick me out, but still, sensitive eyes may wish to skim). I now REALLY wish i could photoshop up a picture of him at this moment.

failing that:



i need caffine now.

edit: wait! jho just did a picture of kaidan getting shep's reply. NICE! not the expression i imagine in the above chapter, per se, but just had to share. very nice femshep art from jho, as always.

Got to read your latest fic, loved it! Poor Kyrie, accidentally sending all that mail to Kaidan. XD I truly do adore her. You're starting to make me feel inspired to write some more!
