I don't think so. My imported Shepard looks much... smooth and, as someone said, innocent. She looked more tough in ME1. I guess it goes different for different Sheps. The only thing same for them is slightly longer hair.

Shepard should be about 31, though I don't know if her death has affected this

She still may only be 29

I think you can intepret this as you want. Her internal organs may now be older than her skin, if you get what I mean.

Body was constructed the same to as she was before her death. So either her hair grew up between Battle on the Citadel->Alchera, or when her body was complete enough to "age" (which could me few months before ME2). I say Shepard is around 30.

Well I'm sold.  And I love creepy stuff so I think I'll like it.

I'm ready for some new content with FemShep # I don't really want to know.  She's raided Jack's closet and is ready to get some killin' done.  I know a lot of people aren't a fan of the facial scarring but I love it on her.   

<3......<3

okay. do want. you should post that outfit in the alt appearance pack thread - they're asking for suggestions. and that just rocks. or is that jack's? anyhow, love it.

re: appearance - given that in the redemption comic they can't tell if shep is a man or a woman, i think it's safe to assume her skin is all newly grown.

and yes, i think it's the makeup that is a problem in ME2. imported shep with light blush and she has deep maroon rouge on. also the haircuts different greatly, esp. the default cut. it looked okay with darker hair, but the lighter colors it had really awkward texuring imo. so yeah, tweaking was needed.

Technically, yes. You don't advance in age when you're dead/incapacitated, for obvious reasons.

Also, thanks for the additional input regarding Jane, Tighue. I agree that the current lighting conditions play a significant role. My own Jane looks most natural under normal lighting conditions, while in other (especially dark) areas she seems to look somewhat different. As that one volus put it, "looks can be deceiving."

I'm fairly sure, since people keep asking, that ELE08's Shepard is wearing Jack's Alternate Appearance Pack outfit (sans wraparounds) as an armor outfit. Possible with some Coalesced editing, I believe, still getting my head into the modding thing.



Somewhat tangentially related to this post, at least: ELE08? My first-PC-playthrough Shepard thanks you for Dapper Garrus.

That is quite awesome, ELE. I love her tattoo! Great work! I've noticed
that facially, your Shepards appear quite unique and distictive, in
addition to obviously being quite attractive. Excellent job!

Thank you.  All my FemSheps tend to look similar to each other (all femsheps look the same hurr hurr) probably cause I found a structure I like and build off that.

Jane Shepard wrote...
I
like default Jane Shepard. I didn't change her apperance in both games.
Well... there is a difference between her appearance in Mass Effect and
Mass Effect 2. The events of the second game take place after two years
(the same is possible to see in Tomb Raider Legend, Anniversary and
Underworld)... Jane looks a bit older. But she is beautiful:)

Ah,
now this is something I can attest to. In Mass Effect 2, my Kate
Shepard appears subtly older and more mature when compared with her
appearance in ME1. It's hard to properly explain or describe, but she
seems to be aged and more worn to a greater extent.

She's still amazingly sexy, of course! I love her more mature look!

Tigue said it, lighting.  The graphics in the second game are so much better you see a lot more detail and textures in different places in the game.  ME1 looks so flat in comparison.

That is Jack's alternate appearance pack outfit (reskinned with texmod.)  I kind of hate texmod, but take what you can get, eh?

And Garrus thanks you for making him dapper

(Yes I just had this image lying around.  Sorry for the OT )

KaidAN. There, I feel better. Even the fan thread spelled it wrong for a while though...anywho.



I like the idea of more natural interractions, not just two heads talking to each other. I would imagine implementing stuff like this is more work though. I think as technology progresses games will get more and more life like.



I think the reason I'm not really creeped out by the romances is I assume there are interractions happening behind the scenes. Not just the three or so conversations on the Normandy.

She's 29 and holding, just like every other human female *around* that age.

Regarding romances in Mass Effect:

I'm not a huge fan of flirting with squad mates in Mass Effect. There's just something about being engaged by a recorded voice that seriously creeps me out. Maybe my brain has funny wiring that way, or maybe I project my psyche onto Shepard more than I care to admit. I dunno. But I digress.

Last night, I read a fanfic that seriously made me want to replay Mass Effect just to romance Kaidan's brains out. I'm not ashamed to admit that I was in full-on predatory mode; Kaidan was in serious danger. I restrained myself long enough to recognize what made this fanfic so awesome:

1. Shepard and Alenko were interracting (not just talking)
2. The situation Shepard was in was fraught with sexual tension

So then I started thinking about how BioWare could improve romances in Mass Effect 3. Here's what I came up with:

Put Shepard in situations that foster or dampen sexual tension with a potential love interest based on the player's actions.

Don't restrict us to dialog, make these scenes more interactive. Write some potentially embarrassing or unique moments into the game and seed them with player interrupts that trigger subtle (emphasis on subtle here) flirtatious moments.

In the fanfic I read, Shepard and Alenko were trapped in the Normandy's lift while the crew was on shore leave. At one point, Alenko lifted Shepard up on his shoulders so she could feel around for an emergency hatch in the ceiling. The lift jolted suddenly, sending both of them to the floor with Shepard's legs wrapped around Alenko's waist. To me, a moment like this screams of player interrupts!

Paramour interrupt: Kiss Alenko after a prolonged silence
Renegade interrupt: "Don't get too excited, Lieutenant. This isn't my idea of romantic."
Default: "Well, this is awkward."

So, uh-hum, yeah.

Paramour interrupts for Mass Effect 3!

I'd vote for it.  A lot of people point to the locker scene from ME1 that defines what is missing in ME2.

Just a slight correction regarding that last one: It's not exactly "default", but more like "neutral". And I definitely support this. <3

I agree that the ME2 romances lacked depth, and interaction.

However they had much more emotion than the ME1 romances in the talks.



Yet the ME1 romances had a much better conclusion, and the locker scene.

Overall ME1 did it better, while ME2 just seemed more rushed and hey lets do it.

[Fiery Phoenix]

While we're talking about romance, you guys should check out my post from yesterday (in the Thane thread).

[Giggles_Manically]

I think that Jacob got that kiss since the devs thought that he would be the most popular romance for females in ME2.



I am a guy, but hell I feel objectified when Jacob was talking to my femShep.

[Christmas Ape]

While I don't disagree that the 'Paramour Interrupt' system would be an exceptionally clever way to give additional depth to the ME2 romantic subplots, I think the problem is that they'd be monumentally hard to integrate with actual gameplay. Those kind of events only feel right when they're accidental and spontaneous, following from more or less everyday interaction, which is almost impossible for a sci-fi action/shooter/RPG to include without it being padding; you'd either see them coming a mile away because this part of the game doesn't have any shooting or you'd have to personally arrange for them to occur, like other conversations, and they'd just be another kind of Biowork.

oh, that jacob. i avoid him like anything after his loyalty mission.

i too, would love paramour interrupts for me3. would also love a scene for shep and his/her love - NOT just an end nookie scene, but a "by the lockers" type scene from me1 - something heartfelt and just them two.

yeah..that would be nice.

[sagefic]

yeah. i think this was why - for me - of the ME2 romances, the Tali one made the most sense. it was built into the actual structure of the story: you run into her, she helps, then leaves. you save her, you help her, she was around from before, etc.



garrus' had promise, esp. with the recruitment - the loyalty mission was epic, but the actual "romance" dialog made me think, really? like, that's it? no wonder so many fanfics abound trying to fix that. ME1, truly, had more romance alongside the narrative. even for all the sadness of horizon and what happened to liara, me2 made me like the me1 romances better. they just had more weight
