Little off-topic question: Is there any info regarding travel times in the ME universe? Like... how long does it take from the Exodus Cluster to the Hourglass Nebula?

As far as I know instantly. It's much like a wormhole without the nasty side effects of gravity getting in the way.

Yeah, with Relays. But there must be some FTL travelling in between.

So, I've done my bit of experimentation... Glad I got to see some other styles, but in the end, it still comes down to the original two, with me leaning strongly towards the default sexy for Athene (upper right in this image) and the custom sexy for Artemis (would be the upper middle hairstyle, but with brown eyes and more of a tan). Still, here are the styles I checked out (minus the pony-tail attempt, as I messed something up and ended up with only a ponytail and no hair / bald head:blink: ):



[edit]
Essentially, Athene will look like this in game (old shot from the original Artemis):

I think that fits her.

I don't think so. Like wormholes the distance between the connected space does not matter much for the travelt time. However, wormholes require more energy to keep the connection between larger distances alive. An alternative would be quantum teleportation, but that cannot transfer matter. It can transfer information and that too happens instantly - no matter what the distance. In ME2 that is used to communicate with TIM.

Edit: The idea behind a wormhole is that you can travel a large distance at normal speed because the connection between the two locations is warped and effectively makes it shorter. But the observer, the one who would be able to observe start and finish measures a speed faster than light. The traveller is not aware of that.

OK... I'll stop now, before we get corrected by a moderator.

I know, i know. :happy:
 
I wasn't referring to the Relay jump, but to the travelling within the systems, clusters, to the next relay connecting to another cluster etc. That should take some time.


And to keep this on topic...

Yes, Lili spars with Garrus, and is teaching him how to use the katana while he teaches her how to snipe. Also, she just plainly works out, sometimes manages to get others to spar with her. (She's given people black eys, bloody noses etc. while doing so.) She also plays sports like soccer and football.

Well Sarah practice hand to hand combat and sometimes with knives aswell.. Sometimes a crew mate is the victim but mostly no  The raid on Mindoir gave her plenty of reasons to know how to fight and she still thinks that if she knew how to fight she could save her family

Sports, yes, spar, rarely. Being a biotic makes Kyrie wary of messing around outside of combat.

in highschool, she played 3 sports: football, basketball, and softball. post mindoir, she became a runner. she's also got some martial arts training, picked up with the Alliance training.

it's funny, but though all the femsheps have the same build, i really think some of them look like the have different bodies to me. i guess it's a combo of armor and the face, but kyrie seems taller and leaner than average to me, like a cross country runner's build. i guess it's that armor of hers. other femsheps look like gymnasts or dancers or like they're packing more muscle or whatever. again, mebbe its the armor

Maddy does work out and loves baseball and soccer, but doesn't really spar with anyone anymore.  in the Mindor raid she suffered sevear knife wound to her left eye.  Though the Alliance Navy Medical Center surgons were able to save her eye so that she could still use it, she was left color blind and had hardly any depth perception in that eye, requiring the use of a corrective contact lens.  Until this was diagnosed properly however, she had a tendency to hit her sparing partner on accident.  This earned her a "reputaion", and as a result....no one liked to spar with her.

Hannah Shepard made Kristina play various team-based sports during her childhood and teen years. Being a spacer, Kristina never really settled on one sport because it always depended on what was available. However, I do sort of imagine that she did set up a hoop in the cargo bay of SR2, so that she and any crew member that wants to can shoot hoops. ((I have watched Firefly way too many times))

As for sparring, Betaverse Kristina spars with Garrus...and insert standard tiebreaker joke here.

Erica sparred with Ash back on the original Normandy. Unfortunately, she really hasn't found a good replacement partner on SR2. There's a few members who can give her a good challenge, but its really not the same. 

Alison's favorite sport is shooting things. She would like to have a fullout biotic spar with Jack and/or Samara, but she is very very sure the SR2 wouldn't survive that. Other than that, I have been trying to come up with a sport-esq leisure activity she can do involving her biotics that isn't completely "pre-existing sport WITH BIOTICS!"  I fail at that type of creativity though.

This is 'almost' the same pose like one of the ME3 fanmade wallpaper, and the very first I try to make.

Colly love to rush into battle/hot zone, so she practise her short distance sprint whenever she's off duty.

There are so many sports, so that would be kind of hard :/

I want boxing, where each person gets 2 giant chair sized boxing gloves and can only manipulate them with biotics.

Myddine wasn't much of a sports person, but as a Vanguard sparring is pretty much mandatory.

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.

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.

I said their simple-minded marketing presents the GAME as a caricature of itself. Twisting my words by gathering my adjectives together to modify the wrong noun is not something I appreciate, honestly, and is not typical of the behavior I've come to expect on this thread.

I am very careful to say exactly what I mean, and I am anything but discriminatory. I would argue that your contention that the expense of creating Sheploo requires he be used as the single "iconic" Shepard characterization is where the logical error lies.

EDIT: Now that I've caught up on all the posts between there and here, I just want to thank everyone who jumped in to clarify and expand on the points. I suppose my words were stronger than necessary, but they were about marketing's mischaracterization of the game, not about the male Shepard character. I was actually trying, as well, to say that it's insulting to the ShepLoo characterization to make him the cartoony shooter-man on the box.

But no use rehashing it ad infinitum. Moving on...

@MizzNaaa, lol me too. I never saw it before because it's a Paragon option. I started this playthrough like always (different class, same personality), but I'm finding myself leaning more and more toward paragon, it's like I'm playing another new, different game! And I'm loving it!

Oh, I saw it on my very first playthrough, cause My Jennifer is a paragon...well I think she might be a paragade (Full paragon, one bar renegade) because sometimes the renegade option makes more sense. I generally however play choosing options that feels right, wether paragon or renegade until I shaped up her character. Gah, in ME1 she was a full paragon, and not one ounce of renegade in her...but in 2, she's got some anger, and she takes it out on those who deserve it  She needs to get back to the alliance, marry Kaidan and be happy

Jane does a fusion of martial arts. During her training, she studied with a guy who was trying to found a new style, a fusion of Karate, Judo and tai-chi that incorporates biotic techniques. Some of his theory is a little out there and she never took him entirely seriously, but she thinks there may be some truth to the idea that old techniques for the manipulation of ki might have some relevance to biotics. She mostly does kata rather than spar, though. If she does spar, it's primarily with Kasumi - sparring with women gives battle a different flavour, and she's less afraid she'll hurt them by accident. Plus I'm guessing their styles have similar foundations. Sparring with Garrus is tempting, though I think she'd probably get him to give her a foundation in Turian techique, first.

She also does some basic gymnastics and tumbling, mostly to keep herself limber and used to falling. Learning to fall correctly is a pretty fundamental technique, especially if you're getting hurled in the air by biotics on a daily basis.

Jane was never much for any sort of traditional sports. Running, tumbling and fighting are it for her. Sports of self-improvement.

Renée ran triathalons at the Academy, and she still runs on various 'gerbil gear' on board the Normandy.  She does keep up with basic hand to hand techniques, and has run a few drills on techniques for non-humans with some of the crew.  And yes, the image of her and Grunt (or Wrex!) working together to find out how a human could take on a Krogan and survive is mildly amusing.  As for sports, I figure she played in team building events, but she wasn't that into playing.

Nimue, I can see her taking up a martial art as an authorized way to beat people up.

Oooh, I do like the idea of Krogan sparring, especially biotic-enhanced Krogan sparring. I mostly don't want to punch any of the dudes on my ship because I don't want to hurt them. Less danger of that with the Krogan.

Finally started Edward Shepard's run.

(Was tweaking a facecode in ME2 and instead of stopping after the first convo w/Jacob to get a few screenshots to judge the tweaks I found myself completing Freedom's Progress. Managed to destroy the YMIR without having Miri or Jacob die on me, though. That's sort of progress, even for normal level.)

Anyway, thanks(?! ) to Aislinn's Tank! video, I present Edward Shepard.





"Edward is not happy about being unable to access Hacking during Eden Prime."

Going to have to rewatch enough of Cowboy Bebop to get that right. Or mellowed.
