One interesting thing to note is that women on covers sell well. However, that note is based upon past covers, where women are scantly clad, or in provocative stances. If we do get a Special Edition cover with FemShep on it, she better not be in her underwear. Or if she is, se better be extremely attractive.

Not in this case. I don't think Bioware run the risk with us...they know perfectly what we ask.

They damn well better not sexify FemShep on her cover debut...

ETA: TotP FemShep!

"Wait... you're taking the cover shot NOW?!  But I'm not even in my...  I mean, at least let me get my gun out or something!"

What I don't know is why David Silverman uses that sentence, I say, he uses the more complicated: a negation (doesn't seem) + negation (unreasonable) to result an affirmation, instead of say simply: "yeah, reasonable request to me". In a pessimist position it seems as they don't want to say "NO" (obviously, they aren't opposed their fans) but neither say "YES" because they don't have in mind.

Well, often enough the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
Plus I don't know whether it'd be healthy to dig too deep into wording anyways, can just be a completely personal thing.
I know I use turn of phrase sometimes most would find unnecessarily awkward =P

On the subject, I don't understand why they haven't done it before. Femshep in trailers or posters or whatnot, specially because they had Jennifer Hale voice her.
She as a VO artist has fans, not just limited to specific games. If you're going to hire such talent, why not exploit it's 'selling-potential', and that's aside from the fact that games visibly featuring a male or a female PC can (using my logic) only sell you more games.

Here is a clip from the scene where she says, "Show me yours, tough guy. I bet mine's bigger."



I think it works so well because she looks so cute in her purple-tinted kestrel armor and that little N7 shoulder pad to remind her of where she came from. The red stripe looking so out of place. Adorable.






But she will chew you up and spit you out.

I would really like a double-faced cover... you know: maleShep on one side, femShep on the other.
That would really kick ass

I second that. Retail outlets like this, too. It gives them options for product placement.

Though that would mean that at least 30% of the retail boxes would have to have femShep on the cover
If the customers then don't like the cover, then they can simply flip it over

Exactly! I've heard it said that choice is a good thing.

A long, long, long time ago, I promised Aislinn to do something for her Shepard Trista (because she's my favourite of her Shepards).

I finally managed to get around and finish it:



I hope you like it!

Oh my!  This is gorgeous!  Thank you so much, my dear!   *much hugs*   


@Akodo

You going to share these lovely texmods?  I hope?  *puppy eyes*

OMG-OMG-OMG-OMG

...so I'm running the Kasumi DLC with Rhea. I save the game and use the Gibbed Editor to change her hairstyle. I decide to keep the LBD for this go-round, 'cause I want to get some screenies to match wihat I have for Enid.

The DLC starts. Rhea and Kasumi are having their conversation in the car on the way to Hock's party. I freeze play, go to FlyCam and start looking for shots from different angles. Of course the LBD is ballooning up in Rhea's lap like it always does, and her hands are going right through it. And of course she's not sitting "like a lady." But as I'm panning across to take a shot of Rhea from the window side of the car, Something "catches my eye."

I think I'm gonna be sick, 'cause -- dude -- there's something up in there that ain't s'posed to be there. I don't know what it is, but I think Cerberus made a SERIOUS mistake during the reconstruction. 

:sick:

brb -- gotta go stick my finger in a light bulb socket to see if I can erase the memory.

If this is a well-known "artifact," WHY OH WHY DIDN'T SOMEBODY WARN ME???? This may leave a permanent scar.

Definitely NOT a finger. Definitely... not... :sick::sick::sick:

[SkaldFish]

What was I saying?

Huh. Weird. My index finger is turning black and feels real tingly. Wow -- where did the time go? Didn't know it was this late...

[Cyansomnia]

Skald, you gonna be OK? XD

I like! She reminds me of my ME1 shep, if I hadn't been as harsh with her cheeks.

I'd be interested in the face code, if you have it.

Yep

Ultimately marketing ploys trump fan appreciation. Every time.
