It's mostly the same story, but here's another article (this time from GamePro) on femshep marketing w/ just a bit of commentary. Also, femshep.com gets a mention.

Can't argue against awesome. Fact!

@Ottemis
yup, that's it
The shot up there was taken just a few moments after I deactivated film grain to see if I like the screenshots better that way (which I now do)
I like your team btw, I gotta take Wrex with me more often

Marge in ME1 was an implanted and trained Soldier, but no matter how Alliance wanted to make use of her abilities, they weren't potent enough to make them truly useful.
After hanging around Kaidan she was kind of surprised/jealous/inspired* (* - cross out useless words) , and got amped again, figured out how to use Throw in CQC (or rather how to avoid close contact by hurling enemies away).
So yeah. Her biotics were kind of awkward.

For RP purposes I teach her Throw, for fast gameplay - Singularity.

In ME2 reconstruction changed, well, everything, thou it was more of an upgrade than actual change. Is she still like before as Miranda claims? She's not sure, but same as in ME1, she decided to embrace the opportunity, not to sit and contemplate. I don't know how she learned new mnemonics though... Were they "programmed" into her brain somehow during Lazarus?
So, the class shifted to half biotic Sentinel, because: Tech Shield is kind of similar to Immunity. Marge prefers to control battlefield, or draw attention of enemies on herself while rest of the squad is safer behind. Versatility - it is also important to balance between brawler and tactician somehow. It's not possible to be fully prepared for EVERY situation, but she's ready for most of them.

(undeveloped boring Shep is undeveloped and boring :happy:)

Everyone's moved over to the ME3 forums, at least for character discussions.

That article was also just mentioned on the ME2 Facebook page titled, "Get ready to see a lot more FemShep!!"

I was wondering who's Shepard that was.  Cool! 

And I'll have to change the tagline on the site as she won't be an easter egg any more.

I wonder what Jennifer Hale thinks about all this?  I know she wanted more femShep exposure.

it's just so nice to see  the months and years of femshep support finally take off. too bad that it's rare and newsworthy that fans support a strong female character, but hey, unless we push for femshep-type chars to become the norm, all we'll get is damesels in distress.

Thanks Jamie, AD, and Sage but thanks to everyone for helping in some way whether it be big or small.

I think we're slowly moving forward.  I also like what they've done with the new Lara Croft and hope for more not so sexualized Fem characters in the future.  She's really the only lead fem besides Hawke, FemShep, and Samus Aran that isn't what you typically see.

yes, except for the part where lara was gasping and panting like she was in a soft pr0n vid as she fought free of the sinking ship in that demo. i found that incredibly distracting. i kept thinking, femshep would be saying, "Taking heavy fire!" like she's all pissed off about it, in that wonderful way jen hale does. then again, it IS lara's first outing in that vid game, so we'll see if the story has her toughen up.

Lots of semi nekkid ladies here it seems! You won't see Tiia in that suit for sure.

nor kyrie neither. even when she's off duty she wears things that look military. i imagine that since the alliance became her 'family' since she enlisted as soon as she could, she just does not think of clothing beyond what she must wear for armor and what she finds comfortable to go down to the mess to get a coffee.

and @ all the new sheps - okay, SO many beautiful sheps have been showing up, i'm not going to be able to quote them all, but they're AWESOME, look lovely, and yeah. custom femsheps are the BEST.

@ Jamie: that article is great!

yay for fan pestering. the other part that hasn't been mentioned, but i still this is cool, is when @patsquinade on twitter asked about what femshep fans wanted to see in terms of writing. the speed with which fans replied, the thoughtfulness and maturity of their feedback, and the speed with which P.Weeks replied and seemed to take all that feedback to heart was just great. 

as much as there are noxious trolls out there who still do the "LOL, femshep can be on the cover of the CE if she's baking a cake" (<--that was a true comment), i think it's not just the persistence of femshep fans, but the politeness and intelligence that has worked in our favor. if i can go ahead and pat us on the back, i think we've shown we're not just trolling freaks. we're dedicated fans and we're paying customers and most of all, we have a good point: the world of video games needs more characters like femshep. bioware has a good thing going with her and they should promote her more.

and as this awesome blog points out, it's a case of voting with dollars. i buy bioware games because they consistently have strong characters that are not male, white, or straight that are portrayed in a positive light. that is sadly SO rare in gaming. i don't get why VG companies insist on making so many games with a jr. high homophobic, racist, mysogynsitic mentality when a lot of us paying gamers don't want that stuff.

at least bioware has been consistently leading the pack elsewhere, and i'm glad they're still willing to take a risk and go even further than the rest of the industry is willing to go.

Article from GamePro: "FemShep will also appear on the Collector's Edition box of Mass Effect 3 "
Why only on the Collector's box? Too bad that they think about it only in me3. ^^

The small pet peeve of mine is that the game doesn't really allow you much of immension when it comes to non-soldier trained Shepards. They all end up treated like a solder anyway.  (cutscenes, reactions, no awknowledgement of tech/biotic expertese anywhere).

Still. Given an opportunity, mine would completely embrace their biotic training. Sort of like a human asari commando .

Dug up another pretty screenie. I don't like N7 armor in game (mainly because it's too damn bulky), but N7 designation itself... I don't know, it lends a certain air to Shepard, I think.

Mikaela really loves her biotic skills. She uses her powers more often than weapons. It is a great gift for her.


Unlike Mikaela, Diana wants to be a normal human. She fears her biotic powers and uses them only if there is no other way. Sometimes she believes it would be better if she had never had these abilities. She fears herself.

Both of my Shepards would be dead without them, their abilties gave them the chance to survive situations that would have killed a normal person. Be it a suidical attack on Torfan or facing down an entire platoon solo. Though both are mixed classes (Vanguard and Sentinel) the abilities seem to coincide with their personality, one aggressive and unpredictable the other measured and resolute.

Though the game does really fail to emphasis exactly what life as a biotic entails for Shepard or how they use the power they have both in combat and everyday affairs.

[NM7]

There's been some great photo manipulations over the past couple of pages, and they're all excellent. I'd like to get started on something for Hrist in the same vain, but my PC has decided to mess with me and started crashing every now and then.

went out in the future. : p

I'd like to see jeans and t-shirt casual wear in ME3 as well. I imagine that as Hrist's preferred clothing when she has some down time. She's definitely going to be rocking the N7 hoodie that's part of the ME3 CE when wandering around the Normandy.

My adept, Lenneth sees her abilities as something to be proud of, to the point where she's quite arrogant about it. In her younger days they made her very cocky and she was of the opinion that she was better than others because of the power she had. She's been humbled since those days though and doesn't have such a high opinion of herself. She's still very confident in her abilities, and sees her biotics as part of what makes her who she is. They're also another tool to help her get the job done and give her an edge in combat.



Hrist on the other hand, who's a soldier, has very weak biotic powers (she had throw as a bonus talent in ME1) and generally kept it a secret even when she joined the Alliance. She wouldn't use her power in front of others, unless it was a life or death situation, and by the time of ME1 only a handful of people know of her abilitiy.

In ME2 she has stasis as her bonus power and I like to think Liara taught her how to use that particular skill as well as harness her limited power to the maximum. That combined with the Lazarus project and her biotics are now more powerful than they were, hence the upgrade from throw to stasis.

Well Kat always had middle of the road talent with Biotics, but only because she's also a techie so she fits the sentinel role perfectly. She alswyas follows up a tech attack with biotics and vice versa since both of her skill pack a hell of a one two punch. Her bitoics brought her close to Kaidan and even closer to Jacob in ME2 (her LI) and they use biotics to flirt and do other stuff around the ship that's not relationship related. Also as adneate said they've gotten her out of some jams. She didn't have her omni-tool with her on elysium so it was just her gun and biotics that held off the mercs until her back up arrived, even crushing one guys head agaist  a wall with throw when she put her mind to it.

And Escapist can't tell the difference between canon and defult, but it's nice to hear them talking about femShep.

This sounds exactly like people Marge was training with. She enjoyed showing them it's not exactly true. With fists usually >_>
She also assumed that Kaidan is the same until she talked to him >_< Actually I write a short fic about that atm... But it will end up a scrap probably.
