Oh, sure, there's a varren clamped onto my leg, and I had to fight through a horde of angry mercs to get here -losing my icon in the process; very sad-, and I think my hair might be on fire, but it's the principle of the thing.
Life blindsided me there for a while. I have missed this thread so. I will never leave it again. ;3; *cling*

baha no, you're protected inside my...I mean the pokeball. that could have sounded...terrible.

[Ashwraith]

I see what you did there.

Aaaaaanywho. Played Arrival for the first time yesterday. My reaction was... well, mostly furious screenshot-clicking, interspersed with OH MY GOD IT'S HACKETT I MISSED YOU GIMMIE HUG.
And Harbinger's epic The Reason You Suck speech. That made the whole thing worthwhile.
....Speaking of screenshots, I got one totally by accident the other day. I kept it mostly because it's so ridiculously over-the-top dramatic.
I can see it now.
YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH

"Oh for the love of- is she always like this?"

Shep's companions must have the patience of Buddha to put up with her explosion-based shenanigans.

Awww, thank you. :3
And 'cold' was, in fact, what I was aiming for. Nice to know I achieved the intended goal. Huzzah!

LOTSB allows for some nice closeups, I'll give it that.


Also, Meowth is EDI. No one will tell me otherwise unless it's Grunt, which would be hilarious.

EDIT: What is up with the linkfail tonight?
EDIT THE SECOND: ...Forget it, I'll just post it directly on here and get it over with. Rgh.

You did a great job!  It was very pretty and sweet.  I also LOVE Within Temptation so that definitely gets points with me.  <3

Yeah, yeah.  I'm plugging away at it.

A little piece from a new GI interview.

For both Mass Effect and Dragon Age, the marketing has focused on male protagonists. Since players can create both male and female characters, why isn’t the female side represented?

Muzyka:
That’s a great question. One of the things we really embrace in our games is diversity and enabling people to take on different roles so, obviously, we have strong female leads. We have amazing voice acting talent for both the male and the female roles.

That said, for the marketing face we have to make a choice. And it’s a tough choice to pick an iconic face -- the face of the brand. You have to pick an iconic representation for the brand and it comes down to the marketing team’s
intuition. It’s not easy because we know a lot of the fans enjoy playing the female lead so we always make sure it’s just as high quality as the male lead for the main characters in our games.

Muzyka: "That said, for the marketing face we have to make a choice ... You have to pick an iconic representation for the brand..."

Ummm... No, sir. In no reasonable sense is that a true statement. It's nothing more than marketing provincialism -- something on the level of 1950's Kellog's always thinking they had to create a cartoon character to associate withevery cereal brand. And that's exactly what "iconic" Shepard becomes in BioWare's simple-minded branding - the Tony the Tiger of the Mass Effect universe. A rich, ensemble-oriented game and story is downgraded to a shooter-wannabe, testosterone-worshipping caricature of itself.

Sheer superstition. The marketing team has no idea what would happen if they used both a male and a female Shepard representation in their branding, and they're afraid to try. Ironically, "marketing team's intuition" is more revealing of the truth of the situation than Muzyka intended. As far as I'm concerned, Mass Effect 1 & 2 have sold on the strength and quality of the product, in spite of their marketing and branding.

I have a great deal of respect and admiration for Muzyka and Zeschuk, which makes Muzyka's position on this just that much more puzzling. If BioWare "embraces diversity" and the importance of enabling people to create unique characters, why does the Mass Effect branding communicate the exact opposite? Smart people can be really dumb sometimes.

[Shadow_Soul]

Okay, I'm still working on FemShep battles, so, if anybody else (new or you just missed it) I'm taking more enteries for round 3.5+
ere's the stuff I've got so far: Linky
So, PM me your FemShep's info; LI, class, bonus power/weapon etc.

Thanks.

The one time I feel like doing femshep related stuff on gmod, Garry goes and breaks the game with an update. Well, he always breaks something with the updates, but now the game won't even run. Stupid machine! *angryface*

You mean what happened between Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2?

Finally put Athene into ME2, and now deciding between hairstyles (just to be safe, I have a separate save-file for each, and I'm not ready to start the game yet; aside: it's funny to listen to Miranda repeating herself and imagine her getting annoyed as you ignore her about getting the gun and armor while you check out your hair).

Obligatory unflatteringly lit passport photos:

Default Hair:
http://cloud.steampo...91CA2E3973D4C5/

"Sexy" Hair:
http://cloud.steampo...A4497D8BC9C034/

Personally, I prefer the "sexy" hair look, but I haven't yet decided if it's right for Athene or not. I think I'm going to finish getting Artemis through her definitive ME1 play-through and import her into ME2 before deciding. I'm almost certain Artemis will have the "sexy" hair, so the main decision is whether or not I want Athene to have the same hairstyle, or to have a different hairstyle as a further distinguishing feature along with having grey-blue eyes (vs brown) and pale skin (vs tan).

BTW, does anyone know where I can find a list of all of the hair-style, norm, and diff codes for the ME2 hairstyles? MassEffect2Faces only has the codes for the custom unofficial styles. I wouldn't mind trying out all of the hairstyles and seeing if perhaps a completely different one fits better for ME2.

There's my first and only Femshep "Miranda Shepard" She's been good, bad, and in between. (3 games) She's got a few different hairstyles as I figured out how to use the gibbed editor.


She always liked Garrus however.

Ash, femshep battles?

Miri has your back!

Hah!  Love it.

So, it's still early in the game, and Ashley doesn't trust our alien crewmates. In an effort to promote bonding and unit cohesion, Artemis decides to pair her up with Wrex for a little hunting trip...

Artemis, like Athene, is a sole-survivor...

And you know what that means?



http://cloud.steampo...1DCDA6F8BFEDD6/
Ash: Uhhh, Commander, I don't think this is such a good idea...
Artemis: This is how we promote bonding with crewmates on my ship, Williams. Shut up and shoot!
Ash: Aye aye, Commander.

Shepard: AT THE THRESHER MAW!!!
Ash: Oh, right. Sorry, Wrex.

:innocent:

(I love how the thresher maw appears to have a "What the heck is she doing??" look in that second shot)

Apparently they also consider the average gamer (or person) is clueless and wouldnt be able to understand why there is a male and female Shepard.    

hmmm theres two Shepards on the box!  They must be married or something!! 

Mass Effect = You and your wife go across the galaxy fighting Reapers...  Witness the epic fights as you cheat on your other half with new alien crew members!!   Suddenly the Reapers arnt the only threat to your existance!



Bethesda markettng shows this doesnt happen so take a leaf from their book.  You can show different variations of your protagonist and actually make this improve your games image!

And why is Sheploo supposed to be a dumb, testosterone-worshipping, simple-minded,shooter-wannabe caricature exactly? That's very discriminatory.

I think anyone complaining about FemShep not being in the cover is making a basic mistake in their logic.
Sheploo is not another CustomShep, Female or Male. He is the only face of Shepard that Bioware paid money to use, and not using it makes absolutely no sense. I don't see why the only complaints are about a Custom FemShep not being in the cover, and not a Custom MaleShep.

That said, Marketing aside, I would, too, like to see more attention to animation skeletons and romances for FemShep in ME3.

[AlexMBrennan]

hmmm theres two Shepards on the box!

None of the box art characters (on any game in my collection) have name tags, so the response would be "there are two N7 people" - so maybe it's a cooperative shooter? Or something like SWAT3? If 95% of games stick to a particular convention (e.g. different people on the box are actually different people) which you subvert then you will confuse customers.

Bethesda

What, exactly, are you referring to? NV box art features a NCR ranger in combat armour, a probably female courier and another NCR ranger (in patrol armour)
