But then I'm a proper fangirl; a Bioware ontop of a Mass Effect one, they can't really go wrong on this one for me.

I only just wish they would be a little more straightforward when it comes to marketing speech. Since when has the FemShep been "coming soon" now?

It's little things like these that get me. At this point I'm starting to think the trailer won't see the light until a week or so prior to release.

More awesomeness? There you go.

This is truly amazing, BTdubs.

I thought I'd share my Shepard, Kate, a Paragon Soldier. She's my favorite playthrough.











Is it weird that I kind of have a crush on my Shepard?

[Lucky Thirteen]

Rylie Shanti Shepard : Rylie because I wanted a gender neutral first name and it kind of reminded me of Ripley, another badass chick fighting aliens.(I know I'm not alone in thinking Shepard is like Ripley. )

Shanti is technically her real birth name. I actually grabbed it from a documentary I had watched about a handful of low class children in India. When the little girl named Shanti lost her mother, she disappeared for the rest of the documentary and it was presumed she was forced to take her mother's place as a prostitute. She was about ten. I thought it'd be a good idea to at least give Rylie an Indian name to indicate her origins(I don't know why I didn't think that in the first place), and the story from the documentary inspired me.

Bonus points, Shanti means peace which I feel serves two symbolic purposes. 1. It is the opposite to what Rylie's life has been. 2. It goes with her paragon behavior. It is what she hopes to bring to the galaxy.

My other Shepard, Nicole I didn't put too much thought into but it was one of the first names I pulled out back when I first started ME1. The Shepard has changed in personality and appearance but the name remained. She's a lot more renegade, and Nicole has always sounded like a bad ass, rebel chick name to me.

Then my newest Shepard I named Paige, because it sounded like a simple, plain, common however cute name. I mostly created her to do the stuff I haven't done over the Mass Effect series and experiment with things. However I've leaned towards making her the grounded one of the three.

I've had lots of other Shepard's but none of them have stuck with me, let alone last all of ME1 nor go into ME2. So blah to them.

Hmm, I can understand your frustration however.. If they'd have said first off, after all the hype (if they were already able to properly anticipate the wait-time) over femshep that the trailer would mean waiting till 2-3 months before release maybe longer, people would have been dissatisfied from the get-go.
I can understand that whatever they might tell us they want to have happen, will very often not end up being what will happen, and I would rather they delay a trailer when it's contents might be directly tied to the quality of the gamecontent. Plus this needs to pass through so many proverbial hands before it even gets close to being ready to be marketted that it would seem something impossible to rush, and I really don't want them to.

This isn't the only cake they're baking, it's one for the fandom in the end. Making it ties into their already existing development plans for the game, so it takes a logical place in that plan. But that's something we'd never be told about or we'd be constantly put back by delays. Normally they would announce a trailer incoming when it's actually already incoming, this one went bass-ackwards, so yeah.

By saying something like soon, the impatient crowd slowly gains momentum while the wait is on, but any other way with a dealine passed they would ALL rally and spam the forums with negative hatecries against Bioware and 'broken promises'. Honestly, this is the best thing they could have done, for both parties.
We can't blame them for missing a deadline when they don't give us one. Most people would hardly care how valid their reason for taking their time or missing a deadline would be, they'd rather just complain, that's just how people are unfortunately. (Not having a dig at you btw, just a general observation, especially on these boards)

I trust Bioware to not screw this one up, they obviously care about this product asmuch as we do, and they've certainly been listening to the demands of the community, so yeah, I'll wait. Let them do it proper.

I'll choose between Ilona, Helmi and Aino and try to build acharacter around the name. I already know that she will be blond/dark brown hair with blue eyes(don't know what shade of blue); earthborn/ruthless. I'll see where it takes me.

I'm interested to see the result.
By the way,
Ilona: ilo = joy; ilona is essive case of 'ilo'.
Helmi: helmi = pearl.
Aino: comes most likely from word 'ainoa' which means 'only'. Aino is also one girl in Kalevala.

The names translation really helps. Helmi works for an earthborn/ruthless character: pearl=value ; desire to be valued and appreciated by people around her because she grew up an orphan ( not necessary alone ), along with a quest for redemption after what happened in Torfan. While Aino is well suited for a Mindoir/Akuze character who would really feel alone not only because of the raid but also after loosing all her teammates. I think i'll have to go with both and create 2 Shepard. 
Blond/blue eyes: earth/ruthl.( symbolizes fire ) 
DarkbrownHair/green or brown eyes ( alenko's shade of brown [ or is it hazel ] ): Mind/Aku.( symbolizes darkness )

We have been waiting this long for the FemShep trailer and ME3. A couple more weeks/months means nothing now. Bioware knows they won't get by without releasing the Femshep trailer. It will be here soon.

Care? Listening? I sometimes think they do too little of the former nowadays and too much of the latter. And I therefore don't trust them not to screw this up. I have an almost new DA2 game DVD colleting dust somewhere proving that, to me at least, they are not infallibale. Anyway, it's not a femShep trailer, so I'm moving on...

Presenting a few Kassia pics (long overdue, but I've been lazy with the snapshots):

The only ME picture I took...


Scaring little (and not so little) squints since Torfan. When squint mothers want their little bastards to behave they only need to mention Shepard...


Good thing the Collectors had already left Freedom's Progress by the time she got there...


Taking command of the SR-2 just wasn't the same...


Talking to mercs always helps you kill them later...


Horizon really sucketh this time. Speaking to Joker and Kelly afterwards, she was optimistic, but I think she was just putting up a brave face. Alenko really cut her deep...

[Ottemis]

@Kyrene : Well nobody can hit a home-run everytime hehe. I understand the frustration/sceptisism, though I'm pretty sure this won't be re-occurring in the form of ME3. Then again for me, even though DA2 had alot of missed potential, I still quite enjoyed it for what it was. But as said before, I'm a die-hard fan so it helps.
Plus, I've had a look at SWTOR and omg, that makes me a tiny bit horny =o

I've made pics of the CC slider settings for most of my creations, I'm hoping I'll be able to play (pay) it too fairly closely after release.

My knight in beta, made a cyborg trooper aswell which i mean to play as my main, but we'll see, cause the Twi'lek grew on me hehe.

While I do agree, its important to note that two deadlines were given to the fans by the devs. One at the end of summer, and one for sometime in November. 

The saving grace for the marketing team (in my opinion) is that they haven't shown...well...anything ME3 related since E3, minus a single MP trailer and a handful of dev diaries. As such, I can't attribute this femShep media blackout to the devs just not caring about her specifically. They aren't showing femShep. They aren't showing the MP (officially). They aren't showing game play. They just aren't showing anything at all. 

So its just one big list of things that aren't being shown that we all want to see. Yes, it pisses me off that we haven't been shown the femShep trailer, especially after their original (public) goals. But at this point any trailer on this game will do.

A bit of a late anwer but haven't been able to get on at all until now.... <_<

How did you come up with the name of your Shepard?

For Lili I played waaay too much Tekken 6 with my fiance (who now refuses to play the game with me now because I always win) and I usually played as Lili (the girl with long blonde hair and bright blue eyes, who always has a cute fighting outfit and has some killer moves, literally) so I guess once I created Lili Shepard, well, that' her name origin, another game.

Other names I've made up from something that sounds cool like I do for most characters for fanfics, like my Titra Shepard, others I've used popular names that I know of from real life or history, Elizabeth Shepard got her name from Queen Elizabeth the first, while some are named after goddesses, such as Athena Shepard who got her name because she is seriously all about warfare thought she isn't all that wise. Then some from friends, movies, anime or other characters (Maria Shepard is named for somebody from the anme Soul Eater, Naomi Shepard for another character Hale voices, or Alice Shepard because of Milla Jovovich's character from Resident Evil) So I get names for all my Sheps from all kinds of places.

Anyhow, that's it. I'll go be a good school student and go work on homework now.....or something like that.

@Femshep Trailer: If it would be out already, I would just get frustrated for not having the game yet. Maybe another Teaser Trailer around New Year would be fine.

Watched the trailer again this morning. Still awesome as hell. The developer who thought up a Reaper vs Thrasher Maw had his epic pants on that morning. The only thing that will top that is if Shepard puts on some rocket boots flies into space and punches out a Reaper.

Hmmm your Shepard and Vega? That might be possible. We'll see. Kind of want to draw Vega anyhow.
