Casey Hudson has already confirmed that "Shepard" will have better walking, etc. animations. Nothing femshep specific, though.

yeah apparently the bad animations (and the bum shoulder) was an effort to remind everyone that Shepard's body wasnt a finished product since they were woken up early cuz of Wilson. by ME3 that should be taken care of.

That doesn't explain why armored Shepard and casual clothes Shepard have the exact same movement animations.

yes it does. armored and casual shep had the same motions outside of combat in ME1 so they had to same movements in ME2.

True, but it doesn't explain why she limps before she gets blown out of the ship.

if you mean before the ship blew up she stood in explosion after explosion:

I've yet to make a renegade femshep...that's next for me.

My current Paragon, Penny, is kinda vain. lol. she got the upgrade in the med lab first so her face would be normal and usually wears a dress on the ship. (using mods) she's dipping her toes in the water with Thane. (although, water is a bad description when it comes to thane, hmm..)

[The Tookah]

I wouldn't want to see a small step back toward femHawk's high school posturing. ME1 was fine.

I prefer they don't do much femshep-specific on animations. I don't think it's worth the risk. Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I feel that if they start making femshep specific animations, they will feel the need to make her look 'feminine' (ha) which would very likely mean a step back from Alliance Commander into Pole Dancer. I'd fix the size related issues (like when she hugs Liara in LotSB and something weird happens with her arms) and practically nothing more.

Agreed. I haven't noticed the arm in LotSB, but I'm sure we all did when she was sharing a drink with Dr. Chakwas. That was...odd. Also, the way she sits, especially with Kasumi's DLC dress. (You see up her skirt almost all the time.)
But that's about it, really.

A bit late (I have a reasons) but; FemShep ME3 Trailer, this is awesome news, beyond awesome, really. Lili is happy...


"Good....It's about damn time!"

But yeah, this is wonderful news

Edit - on pretty femsheps

It's a stereotype that beautiful women can't be tough; it's just unlikely; about as unlikely that anyone in RL is going to be that gorgeous; I've seen enough exceptions that I'm okay with it.  I won't go into how fair it is that very beautiful woman can also be extremely succesfull
I quite enjoy going against stereotypes...especially in a medium like videogames where you absolutely can and no one's going to argue.

Double Edit - does it help that Drea has Jedi powers and could probably kill you by thinking about it?

yes, it does help. 

and personally, i always liked really cute/pretty renegade sheps. somehow it fits that a shep with a cute little face would be best at ripping you a new one. this is part of why i tried really hard to make kyrie not super pretty, since somehow that fit her middle-ground paragradeness more in my head.

I've sensed a great disturbance in the Force. As if many FemShep fans suddenly squeeeee'd. Something awesome has been voiced. Or written. Brain not working well this week.

well i just tweeted at dsilvermanea that i want caroline to star as femshep in a trailer.

(and that's nothing against any other femshep, even my own. i just think caroline would look particularly awesome in a femshep trailer)

i wonder if he's wondering what can of worms he opened with this 'what should femshep look like" question.

Sure agree with that. Default FemShep violates just about every rule of facial proportion there is.

I know this is about performance tweaks and this is not a tweaks thread, but I wanted to post it here since I know many of you who play ME2 on PCs do some tweaking. Some of you have done a LOT of tweaking.

Some of you may have noticed that my recent screenies are better quality than older ones. I stumbled on a couple of settings (on a forum for another UE3 game) that have enabled me to take my lighting and shadow settings up to higher detail levels without killing my frame rates (I play on a laptop so my GPU is borderline). If you want to see if it helps you, you can edit them using the ME2 Coalesced Editor (Sage has really good info on getting started with the Coalesced Editor on her blog here. It's in the context of setting up the FlyCam, but the principles are the same.)

BIOEngine
[MemoryPools]
FLightPrimitiveInteractionInitialBlockSize=
FModShadowPrimitiveInteractionInitialBlockSize=

The value you enter is in MB, and defines the initial amount of memory the engine sets aside for storing lighting and shadow primitives. I believe 512 is the default for each, but you can safely increase each to up to about 1/4 your total RAM. (The sum of the two values should be no more than half your total RAM.) Since my machine has 16GB, I set each one to 4096. (e.g., if your machine has 4GB of RAM, set each value to 1024. if 8GB, set each to 2048, etc.)

No guarantees, of course -- your results may vary depending on the characteristics of your system -- but it worked for me.

It does helps alittle, Skaldfish. Thanks for the tip.

Ok, just got back from work and read all the replies to my question earlier.  It seems like I'm not the only one who has a Shep with a mind of her own.  Too many comments for me to reply to, but I wanted to answer one specifically.

aimlessgun wrote...

...But why restart? The change is part of the story!

But yes...stupid paragon Kaidan and his disapproving looks 

The restart is because I took Rani too far into the story trying to force her to be renegade, even though it didn't feel right for her character.  I wanted Rani to be my "Renegade" playthru, as well as my Kaidan romance playthru.

Long story short, I've lost all my save files (***AGAIN***), and I'm redoing all my playthroughs.  I've got a MaleShep romancing Ash, a FemShep romancing Liara (I freakin' LOVE LotSB, wish there'd been a VS DLC of that caliber for ME2, but I guess I'll hafta wait 'til ME3...), and Rani was to be my Kaidan playthrough.  Of the three, Kyra (no pics atm) is my Liara LI, and she's my full Paragon.  It fits her, although I think she'll reneg-out a bit in ME2.  Jonathan is my MaleShep, and my main canon Shep, so I've got his personality down pretty well.  Paragade, some renegade decisions, but he's fairly pro-Council and he's good to his crew, so that leaves him with more Paragon points. 

That leaves me with one Paragon, one Paragade, and Rani.  Rani was intended to be the Renegade of the bunch, but it just didn't work out that way.  I'm not sure how her final Paragon/Renegade scores will turn out yet, but she's definately in the Paragade/Renegon area.  But, since I wanted a full Renegade playthru, I tried to force Rani to be someone she ain't, and I didn't have any save files from early enough to "fix" it.  So, the restart.  But it'll all work out, I think.

Sorry for the wall-o-text.  I had more to say than I thought I did!

[Rheia]

I also have trouble staying full renegade. Paragade/Renegon? No issues solving problems renegade way with paragon-ish conclusion, but full out renegade I find really hard to play. Even the latest Shepard who was originally meant to 'renegade it out' in ME2 isn't doing a very good job of it since recruiting Thane.

It is kind of like your situation with Kaiden: doing something brutally renegade makes me think of what that particular companion would made of the act, instead of falling back on ends justify the means/no time for bull**** mentality. Kind of funny. Looks like it's yet another Renegon character for me.

Oh, well. Jennifer Hale's paragon/neutral lines are golden. (So are some of her renegade ones, but I think her blue/neutral deliveries especially shine).

I agree that the run animation needs to be fixed as it always reminds me of someone running with a heavy backpack, slightly hunched and leaning forward. However, the sitting in a dress made me a bit more aware of how ladies sit. You would be surprised how many ladies actually sit with thier legs slightly apart while wearing a dress.

I know this sounds a bit of a pervy thing to admit, but when you are stuck on public transport in London in the middle of rush hour your eyes wander around (when not stuck with your nose in someone's armpit), and it is surprising how many younger ladies actually sit this way. I'd like to call it lazy sitting as older ladies don't tend to sit this way, this maybe something to do with how thier mothers told them how to sit.

So over the course of 2 weeks I became much more aware of how ladies sit, the older generation sit in a prim fashion, while the younger generation tend to be much more relaxed and sit quite often like men do. This could really boil down to two things, the sign of the times that the boundaries between sexes is slowly crumbling (thank god) or that there is a lack of mother/father to daughter teaching taking place, or perhaps it is a combination of both, It would be interesting to find out what the ladies of the forum think on this as I was quite surprised how often you see young ladies sitting like men do these days.

Interestingly, I have male friends who wear dresses and sit appropriately for that attire, so in my head that style of sitting was always directly connected to the dress and not the gender. Then again, dresses themselves are usually assigned to the female gender to begin with. As for me, my mom was super sporty and always hanging out and rough housing with the boys, so that tomboyishness got handed down to me. I was always more male in my gender identity anyway, though I'm not sure if my upbringing was a cause or an effect of that. (Never did play with my barbies, except the one I assigned as April O'Neil to my Ninja Turtles.)

When I saw my FemShep sitting inappropriately in Kasumi's dress, I couldn't help but laugh because that was TOTALLY me when I was younger and didn't know/care about how I looked to anyone else. I imagine my FemShep would be similar -- with an Earthborn background, who would even be responsible for having taught her? Posture would likely be different if someone higher up on the chain of command is around, but that's more tied to authority figures than it is to attire. My problem with the way she sits is less about dress vs pants and more about posture vs chain of command and her role as a space marine. Not to mention we also don't know how many official Alliance functions require women to wear dresses.

(Good lord, I ramble a lot at 5AM...)

[AkodoRyu]

I thought this was discussed through many times, so I'll make it short.

1. Weird running, walking animations don't explain why during all cut-scenes Shepard is walking, running and doing other things normally.
2. Being tomboy all my life, wearing pants through 95% of time of my life, I always felt really uncomfortable when I couldn't move freely in a skirt. Ball gowns were a different story as they covered my legs and I could sit how I wanted. I'm wiling to say that if that LBD was animated differently and folded like a normal cloth, I'd never pay attention to that type of sitting.
But yes, wearing a skirt or a dress I feel like I have to watch my sitting and walking. And it's pissing me off.

I think headcanon like upbrining/tomboy lifestyle, etc, etc, etc... is a good way to explain away the atrocity that is female animations in ME2, but that's just that: headcanon. No way in hell it should be considered a norm, or a minor thing not worth looking into.

As much as I love the LBD, there are exactly 2 instances where wearing it is bearable: Kasumi and Samara loyalty missions. And that's just because wearing it adds more to immension than horrid animations substract. In any other instance armor (any armor, be it vanilla or modded) looks slightly, if only just slightly okay to move in it.

Walking in LBD for immension? Where is that bleach to put in my eyes to remove the memory?

Exactly.   A couple of people in the request thread said they really didnt have a problem with femsheps animations. So I pressed them on the issue because its on the most noticable things.  Turns out they just got used to it and just built it into their character.  Or they hadnt played ME1 so wernt aware that she had a unique frame once upon a time. 

Saying you want to keep the animations the same really just because Bioware got lazy with them in ME2 really fustrates me.  It making an excuse for a flaw and doesnt resolve anything and doesnt move the issue forward.  From a very young age you recognise men and women on the majority walk and posture different.  Sure in combat in heavy gear it may not be to much of an issue.  But walking around the Normandy ect, it clearly is.
