On the "weight of history location" thing, I'd have to say flying into the Citadel. That cinematic gets me and Myddine every time.You have all the races of the galaxy, millions of people in the culmination of civilization, and it's a Reaper trap. Such a great juxtaposition of immense concentration of economic and political power on the brink of being exposed as hubris.

General question: are there any places that do that to your femShep? just make her stop for a moment and reflect, perhaps feeling the weight of history bearing down on her?

For Maddy...the Normandy wreck site and debris field.

It is hallowed ground to her and a constant reminder that no one is untouchable. It is also a reminder to her of the only time she ever failed at something. Until the loss of the Normandy, Maddy was at the top of her game. She had served in countless battles, risked herself againt impossible odds to save her fellow soldiers and left her "mark" on many of the most important military operations since the First Contact War......all without ever loosing a soldier under her command.

She still strives to live up to that reputation, but scars of a commanding officer who has lost the ship and crew under her command keep her striving to do better.

hmm, the weighing of history for Kallen would probably be after the suicide mission. She's got the most advanced Ship in the Galaxy, a great crew and connections all voer the place with people and machines ready to assist her in the war against the reapers.

Don't lie. You'll go through them again just before ME3 comes out

EDIT: This question is so fun I have to answer it again as I think about it.



This sequence really affected her because of the all the implications surrounding the Geth and their relation to the Reapers. I have a feeling that the Geth are going to be very philosophically important in ME3, and her and Legion at the end of the Suicide Mission might represent the start of a new brighter future of machine/organic relationships, building our own future and rejecting that of the Reapers. One of the most emotional moments in ME2.

PS: Cgrimm's landscape shot with the pyramid is one of my favorite shots ever.

The Normandy crash site for Lili as well. Also, after the suicide mission and after killing Saren.
Colonies in general, too, since she grew up on one.

Re: Game Informer magizine cover
Captain, you have outdone yourself! Too bad they won't use that for the cover, if they did, that's be awesome.

Yep. Would much rather have FemShep on the front cover. Even default Jane.

For Renee, since she's the most developed, the Normandy Crash Site was emotional as all get out for her. She also relished being one of the first people landing on a world. Grandad's crate of 200 year old Heinlein novels were something she would 'borrow' when she visited Hannah's parents on Earth.

Much as I would like to see femShep get some recognition in marketing material, I'm afraid what some artists would do when given "female space marine" as a prompt...

Starcraft1@2 was the games i played before ME and i totally agree. They're filled with the bad gender steriotypes. Ugh is the word that describes it all. FemShep is changing the gaming to a much better place

After those comments I couldn't resist:

Agreed.

I'm actually kind of glad that there isn't any official femShep marketing material. This gives us so much more freedom to make the femShep we desire and never have to feel that she is being compared to some standard "default" femShep. Yes, I'm aware of the default femShep preset in the game, but there is nothing otherwise to indicate that she is "THE" femShep. Sure, the strong female character may not get the direct recognition that she deserves, but on the positive side, Marketing never has a chance to ruin her image for us.

Now, I don't know if maleShep players ever feel any comparison or measuring up with the official Sheploo, but it seems to me that such a feeling could be there. Partially because in the face creator Sheploo is the most detailed maleShep you can create (at least it seems so).

So basically you're saying we can have our cake and eat it too? We can be happy to have freedom of image, but also get to feel self-righteously persecuted by Bioware?

Really nice work! Great background image, layout, colors (if I had to dig up a criticism I might suggest seeing how the bluish text looks as a more steel blue to match the ME logo).

He is, but there's a big problem w/ Sheploo based on the vids I have seen of him.  His facial features don't seem to animate as well.  In fact, femShep's facial animations seem to be better overall than Sheploo or ManShep in general.  Also, unlike Sheploo, DA2's Hawke and Lady Hawke, we can base our Shepards on default Shep.  I feel that's a place, actually.  Unless you have a PC mod, that is.

Heheh... maybe.

Slightly more seriously, think of it like this: if there were an official femShep, instead of simply appreciating and being awed by all of the awesome femShep fan art and counting them all equally and just enjoying them, I suspect there would be a tendancy to compare and contrast with official femShep. Maybe not considering this is such a great group in this thread, but who knows.

As it stands now, we can simply enjoy and think of all of our own femSheps as the "real" femSheps all the while simply appreciating (and being suitably impressed by) all of the other femSheps. And so we get stuff like this:

I read about that earlier. This I'm not looking forward to... Oh the irony if they would give femshep a chance to "shine" on this. In conclusion: NOOOOOO!

Hey guys, quick update re: video project.

I now have 25 (!) femsheps lined up for the project. At this time, I think I'll strain myself if I try and do more than that. I'll let you all know if I have open submission time again, but for now, I think I'll go with the twenty-five.

Thanks again for offering to help! I'm gonna be afk most of the weekend, so if you PM me or email me details and you don't hear from me, know that I won't be around until next week.

Thanks!

I certainly hope so. It's cake, after all....

ETA:  Oh... and anime? That might be doable, but then I've seen some very schlocky anime. (...and I do not want to see Pretty Soldier Magical FemShep or anything like that.)
