Think thats she being practical.  From the sounds of it she going to get into some right states in ME3.  Thats a long time in the shower getting all the dirt, grime, blood, sweat, bits of husk out of it!    Its probably better shorter

   :innocent:  

i RP that kyrie had her hair cut short some time before ME1, but as a biotic, her hair grows fast and she never had time for a trim when hunting Saren. then in ME2, she never has time for a trim (or she's bald/growing it out in the fanfic)

yeah, i'm crazy. 

I tend to over think things as well and had RP reasons for the change from long to short hair from ME1 to ME2 and I’m sure I’ll come up with an RP reason for whatever hairstyle Kate winds up with in ME3 once I get a look at what’s actually available in the ME3 CC.

I made sure to save the blonde wallpaper to my hard drive just in case that particular one gets replaced with by a redhead version, which is winning by a landslide at the moment. They'll probably just add the final version to the gallery, but JUST IN CASE. My precioussssss.

[KyreneZA]

It's quite surprising that the original 'blondie' is now in 3rd place. I woulda figured she'd score higher than the brunette. Not voting–didn't vote in the first poll either–but will be quite happy if 'red' wins. Easier transition from default Jane 1.0 then to my mind.

As for freckles, I notice all our freckled girls suffer from dark rings under their eyes. Too little sleep chasing bad guys around the galaxy? Probably something with that 3rd complexion...

[Ottemis]

I don't see complexion 3 have it any more or less than #1, check out default Jane:

I reckon that's more the product of the specific screenshots lighting up the contrast in the texturing better, which does accentuate everything aside from the freckles aswell.
Also funny you'd say that about Default Jane, but she's not even a redhead, observe above..
I would say she'd even be closer to a brown/auburn then red. Ofc it can light up to look redder, but that's quite common for alot of people.
Let me accentuate the lightup:

Looking browner.

Looking redder.

And I don't see blondy losing as a big surprise after all the negative atention for the fact she's blonde and more people showing up for this vote now who specificly came to 'boycot' her. Sure, not all of them, but no saying how many and seeing the sentiment is noticably present, that's bad enough on it's own. Anyways yeah, I don't like people as a collective, they're as stupid as a box of nails and prejudiced as feck on average too. Here the result.

Freckles?! How do you get them? Katie (my blonde) has freckles in my mind's eye, but I didn't know you could do them in-game?! What's the option for them?

It's face texture/complexion 3 if i'm not mistaken. It's subtle though.

There might be way to change the strength via gibbed but I like the way they are now. It's definitely my favourite skin texture and in my opinion the most realistic looking.

Random close-up pictures.

I really feel for Silverman and his team with this femShep campaign of theirs. I'm sure they had the noblest of intentions, that being allowing the fans to participate in the decision-making however small, but that sentiment is constantly being thrown under the rug when people argue over which should be right or wrong. I mean it's alright to discuss, but to tear each other apart like what I've seen on a some threads? Sad state of affairs.

I say we just wait it out at this point. The angry posts will die down eventually; it did the first time, to some degree. I just hope BioWare doesn't get too discouraged about asking for fan input because it really felt like the community looked a gift horse in the mouth, set it on fire, and threw it out the nearest airlock.

Yes. Let's spam him with thank you's again when the deal's done after PAX.
It's atleast obvious to me they have asmuch difficulty figuring out how to appease the largest crowd as the crowd has making up their minds. And to be fair, these forums can be a freaking horrible negative feedback machine (not to mention people in general leaning more towards the negative then positive more often then not).
Anyways, they have great pokerface, I'm horribly happy that whatever happened with the vote we will get a hightexture femshep and we will see all 6's hairstyles in the CC now as I understoold it.
And frankly, that's more then I could have hoped for.

My wife just finished her first playthrough of Mass Effect (with a FemShep, natch) and we started talking about the different backgrounds and war records available for Shepard, and how they would influence personality and decision-making.

So here's your question: What background/war record is your Shep, and how do you feel it affects the way she approaches the world?

I chose Earthborn/Sole Survivor. I guess that kind of background is supposed to be a breeding ground for psychological trauma and a harsher edge, but I played it differently. Because of her gang-member background, I gave her a much higher tolerance for putting up with bull****. I figure she's been pushed so much, dealt with so many hot-headed jackasses in her life that she simply can't be goaded into, for example, punching out al-Jilani over a few insinuating questions.

As for the sole-survivor bit, I can imagine a lot of mental trauma and internal strife stemming from survivor's guilt, but I wanted it to be a catalyzing point in her career. A moment when she realized that she'd been squandering the gifts she'd been given just to take things easy, and in doing so it probably cost more lives than necessary. She became much more focused on her military career after that, despite it not being the best fit for her personality.

I originally picked the middle choices (Colonist/Sole Survivor) because I didn't want to play the big hero or the supposed jackass. I just wanted to be an average person who got the job. I found myself being tough on mercenaries and merciful on civilians so my renegade/paragon meters both rose evenly.

I did change it to Earthborn/Ruthless because I prefer the no-nonsense/pragmatic path. I felt that earthborn actually gave me a lower tolerance for BS (opposite of your reaction). Shepard wasn't about to punch someone out, but she spoke bluntly rather than hold someone's hand to coddle them. (More diplomatic with civilians though.) For example, she's not gonna push the mercenary out the window for not cooperating with her, but she will tell him it's a long way down and asks him what the last thing he thinks he'll hear before he hits the ground. This gives him a chance to reconsider his position. It's like being similar to Wrex. He doesn't want touchy-feely reason or flowery prose. "Speak your mind. Suck it up." =p

Ruthless is harder and more complicated, but I actually like this. It originally seemed like Shepard just poured alliance bodies to douse a bad situation, but there's an angle where this weighs heavily on Shepard, that she was in a bad situation and did what was necessary. This made it a lot easier to send Kaidan with the salarians because he volunteered, knowing the risks. She knew he was the best man for the job and didn't hold him back to coddle or protect him. And I liked how in the beginning of ME2, where Miranda and Jacob quizzed her about her background, picking the upper choice had Shepard clearly being uncomfortable with being percieved as the Butcher of Torfan because that day weighed heavily on her shoulders. What are you gonna do with the bad rap, y'know? So the news reporter putting yet more negative spins on her actions is the same old, same old so Shepard isn't going to knock her out, but she will tell her to can the disrespect.

Hopefully all that made sense.

A beauty contest campaign that delays any actual visibility in video and other media for months (aside from which face is prettiest and ignoring basically everything about what makes FemShep a great character in her own right) is hardly the "noblest of intentions" in my book. Especially when this is coming only after years of flat-out ignoring her and the first thing they really acknowledge being her physical appearance over anything else. I mean, yes visibility is good and I am super glad for what they are doing in theory, but I don't see why people having legitimate complaints about the problematic nature of many aspects of the campaign is so bothersome. I'm certainly not going to praise and brown-nose without criticism for something I have many issues with. It's not telling them to take their marketing of FemShep and shove it up their ass, it's telling them that we want it but it's kind of being done in a way that makes many people uncomfortable and creates huge rifts among their fanbase.

As with most things, only if you let it.
Anyways yeah, the way it was done was pooh, but i reckon in this case I don't think that changes the intention.

Renée is a Spacer/War Hero.

Being from a military family, she saw a lot of time in different locations, and spent a few years at either a boarding school or with family on Earth.  She does her best to let individuals who aren't trying to kill her explain themselves.  She's got the military anti-political view (as an officer she won't get invovled in politics if she can help it).  Her basic rules are:  Everyone gets a chance to prove themselves, and you always have permission to return fire.

"Saving" Elysium scares her.  "I was only doing my duty to the best of my ability, and I was very scared for most of it.  I'm just very lucky," is the expurgated for Extranet consumption statement she makes about her actions there.  It also told her how fragile Humaniti's expansion onto the High Frontier really was, and how her dream of being just another officer in the Explorer service wasn't as tennable as she thought.  What Churchill said about T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) also rings true, "He [Lawrence] had the art of backing reluctantly into the limelight.  He was a very remarkable character and very careful of that fact." 

The being a symbol, and wearing the Hero's Mask are not what she wants to be, but she does it because she can't damn every thing she knows to slavery and death. It's the toxic combination of knowing you aren't allowed to fail, and knowing there is no one else to step up.

[floccinaucinihilipilification]

Nice to see the sound of reason and appreciation has arrived, regarding the advertising campaign. The only way BW could mess this up would be a 3rd vote for silly things like the length of her eyelashes, or where to place the mole on her face. Won't happen.

It's difficult to imagine for some, but listen here pumpkins: these boys and girls are professional, smart, and confident at what they're doing. We can be absolutely sure they'll reach a huge success in the end, regardless of the little bumps along the road. So, I suggest to try something that's nearly non-existent these days: trust.

Since this post makes little to none at all sense, have a femshep pic.

If anyone is interested...

I've finished and uploaded the last part of 'Breaking the Ice'.  I've also decided it will be the first entry in a long-running series about my Shep and Thane.  Hope you guys enjoy it!

Sarah is a Colonist, i picked Colonist just because it's a very grey area. It gives me the chance to develop her in all different directions with a good background. Losing her family is hard! It can make her in some situations be very harsh and reach a hatred for Batarians but it doesn't mean she's evil. She still take her experience and do the best she can, she won't let any other Human colony go the same way as Mindoir did and she's 100% dedicated to what is best for Humanity. She try her best to save everyone just because she don't want anyone lose a person they love if she can do anything about it.

She's also a War Hero. Being on Elysium was just pure luck. But what happened Mindoir fueled her will and determination to save the colony to the best. Seeing kids and family die was hard on her and it reinforced her hatred for Batarians but also slavers and raiders in general that she won't rest until she have hunted down them all. She dislike being the one wearing the ''Hero'' status since she belive the true heroes died saving the colony. I can see her being annoyed whenever someone brings that up and when all this is over she will go into hiding for a while and do what Grissom do when he retire.

But yeah what happened then really do affect how she act. ME2 is a merc/raider slaughter party and Sarah got no remorse for them or any second thoughts about killing them.

@Aislinn

Awesome chapter! I really enjoyed reading them all and it ended with a promise of something equally as impressive. Well done! :happy:

The times I find complaints truly bothersome is when it's of the destructive sort (name-calling, chest pounding, etc). I'm all up for good civil discussion.

But I suppose even then the lack of mention of the fact that BioWare at least made an effort to get FemShep out there, and let a fans have a say in it to boot, is a bit unsettling to me. It may not have been a perfect plan, but they tried. Criticism is all well and good but I think they need a deserve a bit of love too.

It's not necessarily saying that they did a stellar job of it all and can do no wrong either. It's saying that we appreciate that they made an effort to involve the fans in something that the fans themselves have rallied together to make happen - more visibility for FemShep in the gaming community. That, at least to me, deserves a virtual pat on the back.

You can say that again. xP

I agree. We all have different opinions about how the image for FemShep was handled, but at the end of the day we're getting a FemShep that can rival that of Sheploo's in terms of quality, and that in itself is pretty damn awesome.

This! I agree so much, this is exactly on how i have felt about it. Sure they didn't do it the perfect way but they did something and that is what alot of people seems to forget. They wanted to involve the fans and just because of that some feel they need to bash and complain about it. When we get the trailer i'm ready to give Bioware a virtual hug.
