 hey look! it's marge again - this time, being used as a counter point to femshep #5.

while i do like femshep 5 and all, why couldn't they just use a shep that looks like marge for the new shep? she's classically shep in my mind.

edit: top shep. gotta be marge:

Because people voted?

Everybody seems to forget that the "concept" art we saw is a poor rendition of the in-game model. Who knows what our new Jane will look like? She'll probably look as tough and strong as Vanderloo.

hehe, Marge now comes equipped with a lesbian watermark   

Also looks like yet again people are using her a default shep.    




Anyway im fed up of blonde shep rants.  People will have said the same thing that she was too plain if they went for green-eyed, red haired shep.   Yeah it was a beauty contest.  But take pride in the fact you all had a choice! When does a game developer ever let the fanbase actually have such an active participation in something like this?!   Rarely to never!

Jennifer Hale (femShep) featured in August issue of New Yorker.

I'm not a subscriber so I can't read the entire article, but it's always a pleasure to see more of Hale in interviews and such. From what little I read, though... 300 hours voicing Shepard? That's... a lot. o__o

Doing 4 hours a session too is interesting.   Its impressive how she and Meer both keep up consistancy over such a long period.

Very good read.  Well the snippet above the main article anyway :happy:

That is amazing, but even more so is that they both start cold, meaning they are reading the lines after just seeing them for the first time.  I think my favorite part of the article, which related to ME3, was when Hale asked Mac Walters, “Is Shepard tired of fighting?”  It sounds like they wanted to go that route, but it just didn’t work.

Double agreed! (Plus, blonde Shep is just as sexy and badass as a redhead, a burnette, black hair, anything in between.) And if anybody wants to bash blondes, I say this now, Lili is ready to bash some heads.

This so much. It's give and take and is ultimately a win/win situation for both BW and us.  It's also a baby step toward real change in the industry.  While not a perfect solution, it was possibly the best solution for both parties. 

[sagefic]

^ very true.

and sorry if it sounded like i was saying i don't like blondeshep. i do (i voted for her, even) and i don't mind the contest *too* much. i was more amused by the fact that marge shep ended up as a postergirl again for someone's 'this is what my idea of default shep is' thing again.

and so has zody and a few others. it's just funny to me that when i see a 'this is what i think shep should be' it often comes from a shep i've seen on this thread before. interesting....

QFT. Lets just leave it at that.

[Ottemis]

Shep questions people's sanity.
Agree with Crash.

And Sage, no worries, I didn't see what you said as something negative really.

All Hail FemShep! An amazing woman ass kickin' to save the galaxy? yes, please.

hope this is an okay place to post this... I tried to make my main femShep look like myself (always do with the first playthrough). Since this was the first creation if I had to do it again, I think the nose to mouth/mouth to chin spacing needs work. I envy those that play on the PC and can get awesome screen grabs.

Anyways, here is my main Shep (ME2 top ME1 bottom) - Lissa Shepard, mostly paragon with a tad renegade thrown in to deal with certain nosey reporters

[SynheKatze]

Well, just finished my first complete (100%) walkthrough with a female shep, and I wanted to share my experience. First thing to say is, I'm not very good at roleplaying, I tend to roleplay as myself, making the decissions I'd make and not paying too much attention to anything else.

However, I tried to go on a different path this time, and that is how this woman was born:



Name's Ilenna Shepard, Colonist, War Hero, Adept. (100P/80R, if this matters anyway).

Well, when I first thought about those traits I ended up coming to the disheartening conclussion that she had been stripped a fairly decent infancy by the slavers, and then saved by the Alliance. When she enlisted I saw it from this point of view: she chose to enlist because she wanted to repay the new oportunity she was given helping to protect human colonies (a deep thought she wouldn't share with anyone).

Then, there comes Elysium. The batarian attack gave her the opportunity to do the thing she had hoped for, and so she didn't let it slip by. She took her weapons and showed her dedication to the cause she had chosen as her way of life. Definitely she didn't picture herself as a hero, but she wouldn't contribute to making things even worse than they already are.

Okay, with these precedents, someone would think that a somewhat xenophobic, self-righteous and distrustful attitude fits as the natural conclussion of what she's gone through, instead, I went the other way.

I wanted to her to be a person that had matured, to be a woman that has gained insight on things, able to consider things from more points of view than her own, that can forgive, able to trust and to make decissions based on what she thinks would be good for the majority. Sometimes she would screw up, as we all do, and she really doesn't have a way with words, but she's able to worry about those around her.

That's why I chose a pragmatic approach to the myriad of problems spotting around her would fit, I wanted her to be cautious, but also able to step up in front of danger when the situation calls for it. If she had to be harsh, she'd be harsh, and if someone needed resort, she'd offer it (well, maybe not always, she's a little bit slow with that kind of thing, just like myself )

That was the way to go for Mass Effect 1, but ME2 was quite different. She was driven to colaborate with a criminal organization she despised, and although she shared their goals, she could never approve their methods. That's why she tried to find reliance in her squadmates, those that trusted her with their life (after the loyalty missions D:<), she focused on them and tried to make them find to ease their burdens from the past:

Garrus spared Sidonis, Jack let Aresh go, Mordin could reconciliate with himself keeping the genophage data, Samara had more than words with her daughter, Thane met his son after several years...

She tried to help those those that needed her:

She took Tali to the Migrant Fleet, Kasumi retrieved her gray box from Hock's vault, Grunt finally found sense to his life, Miranda was finally able to communicate to her sister directly...

But she didn't hesitate in threatening mercs, blackmailers, taking radical decissions.

I don't know, it's been the playthrough I've enjoyed the most. And I intend to repeat the experience.

Sorry if the wall of text bothered any of you and, some pics:

Hehe, they should have just made Marge default Shepard. You'd think she already was with how much her face has been popping up 'round the intarwebs

^ blanket compliment on all the posts above me: nice femsheps! thanks for sharing

Now, a little Then and Now, in pictures. Drea on the SR1 and the SR2.

ELE, after seeing your pictures, Drea seems a bit more lifelike in her ME2 appearance.

So I was waaaaay bored and went to google, searching girls with blonde hair and blue eyes. Well, I have been wanting to do some kind of thing for Lili''s past, besides fanfic I mean, and I got some awesome results on google. I thus made this -




1: Eightteen years old on her first shore leave with a few friends.
2: Fourteen years old on Mindoir and drinking a chocolate milk shake.
3: Six years old, still sweet and innocent.
4: Thirteen years old, posing in a dress she got as a gift for her birthday.
5: Fifteen, just after dying her hair.
6: Seventeen, the year she spent with a cousin of her's.
7: Sixteen and quite the rebel b*tch girl on Mindoir (also, Ottemis' awesome manip she made me ^^)
8: Her second shore leave, this time visiting an older place on Earth that Ra Li told her about.
9: A new look she was trying out at sixteen, Mahi tried to talk her out of it, but failed.
10: A shot of her at thirteen, her father surprised her with the new camera, or old one from many yers before.
11: The day right before Torfan, she cut her hairr because she didn't want it to get in the way as she killed slavers.
12: An old shot of her from a photoshoot her mother talked her into when she was fourteen.
13: Twenty-five, she let her hair grow out and dressed up when she and Ra Li met up to honor the fallen.
14: Posing in front of a lake in Mindoir in a new dress she had sewn up. She loved that lake.
15: Lazy day at the age of twenty-seven in an old apartment she had gotten and had had since she was twenty.
16: Newborn! So cute and so very innocent, unlike later in her life.
17, 18 and 19: Fifteen years old, just after dying her hair.
20: In game Lili, of course.

All pics were found on google, I was bored when I did this, tell me what you all think of my google and photobucket project made from boredness.

[thompsmt]

@Ottemis: "Liar, Liar" It's the game Jim Carey plays with his kid. Gawd, I have memory for terrible movies!

@Shadow_Soul: That's really cool. It gives a very interesting view of Lili's backstory.

I'm getting tired of the blonde Shep arguments as well, honestly. xP

And I agree, so much. To have fans take part in what goes down in anything in the game is really something! I think it's part of the reason why BioWare is so successful - or the Mass Effect series at least, from what I've seen. They not only communicate with their fans, they take them into great consideration while developing their game. It's one thing to listen and another thing to act on what you've heard.

So yeah. I may not completely agree to how the promotional femShep was chosen, but it's a step in the right direction for the gaming industry, and I'm honored to have been a part of it in some small way.
