...if the protagonist is voiced, it better be good voice acting or I will hate it. There's no worries with FemShep, as Hale does an outstanding job voicing her!
Too true. I swoon for Hale. Love your avatar image, btw.

"Okay, okay. ......Okay" Is simple on paper but when voiced by the two actresses, it becomes almost the iconic phrase for the pair. FemShep inspires so much amazing work.

I love the scars and your shading. She looks really tough - I like it. (Her right eye seems a bit higher and bigger than the left one, though.)

Oh there is so much chemistry between Hale and Hillis. I honestly think Hale enjoys herself when voicing lines to go with Liara's.

I believe we still need to voice our concerns over her movement animations though. She had her own in Mass Effect 1, why didn't they take the time to do this for her in ME2? I doubt we will ever get an answer to that, but I hope that if we continue to try our best to be heard, that we will see her walk like she did in ME1.

Another issue that I would like to address again is that the fanbase deserves some screenshots of what FemShep will look like before Mass Effect 3. Not only a few days before release, but preferably around the same time that Sheploo screens are released. I am pretty darn sure that there will be Limited Edition armor in ME3, and I would like to see what it would look like before I decide where to put my money on a reserve. This goes the same for if Bioware decides to release a few more DLC Shepard armor packs before ME3. That really isn't asking too much, when the developers pretty much have the "key" to all this stuff. If the fans have to take screenshots the day the the armor packs are released, something is wrong.

I believe these issues that I mentioned are the most vital to having a "better" FemShep experience in the future. A video showing FemShep in action would be nice, advertisements, so would her own seperate ME3 cover, but I really feel the issues mentioned above are of the utmost importance. I would like to hear from others what you think is vital to the best FemShep experience possible.

Noticed it. Thank you. Did this in an hour while drinking coffee, so mistakes were bound to happen. But I appriciate constructive criticism. Will surely be fixed.

No problem! I'm really looking forward to see the finished version. Are you going to colour it?

Yeah, these things are just icing on the cake, so to speak. I don't think we will get a cover, but if they could do the same with FemShep as they are doing currently with Lady Hawke, I will be more than pleased.
LesEnfantsTerribles wrote...
I do happen to believe that,
with the recent attention that LadyHawke is receiving in DA2's
marketing, things are looking a little more optimistic with FemShep
enjoying a more prominent role in ME3's marketing and promotional
material. Obviously, she will not overshadow Sheploo in any way as BW
want him to be the marketing face of the series, but it would be nice
for her to receive some attention.

Well, I thought I would try and re-ignite the discussion over a "better" FemShep experience come Mass Effect 2 DLC's and Mass Effect 3. I was filled with pride to see that FemShep finally sits proper-like in LotSB. I hope that this has been implemented into their engine and will stay this way.

I doubt we will ever get an answer to that, but I hope that if we continue to try our best to be heard, that we will see her walk like she did in ME1. I have to admit that I am nervous about how this will go. I read in an article that they have already started working on ME3. I know that even months before this thread was conceived, I saw many forum goers express their dislike of her "hunchback walk". I'm only nervous because I hope it is not too late for us to take action.

That was the major purpose of this thread, but I also enjoy gushing over Jen Hale's performances and looking at people's FemShep creations.

Thanks for your kind words, J and Les. I also hope that this will be the case. I am still a bit nervous since they are two different games/development teams.

Might do so, if I'll have more time in the following days. For now one hour doodling is all I can do. And you saw how that turns out.
I'm surely going to draw more Fem Shep. She's just awesome to draw/ doodle/sketch.

For the record, I never thought that was a bad term to describe us. We need to be louder in our efforts. I think the misconception about our fanbase is that we believe Sheploo should be abolished and replaced with Jane. Realistically, that's never going to happen and it would be silly for that to occur. I also see many forum goers say we complain too much, when FemShep is treated the exact same way as MaleShep. She is not. The points that I stressed in my post show otherwise.
) but would just like small things featuring Jane, like pictures of armor, or a few general screen shots prior to ME3's release.

No problem, ryn! I think that there is definite reason to be optimistic, though. I would have assumed that BW utilises the same marketing team across different franchises, and this indicates that they may be more willing to use Jane in marketing and promotional material in the future. At least, I hope so.

They may not be the same team (I doubt that) but perhaps they share ideas? I don't really know how marketing works, tbh.

Two different teams with different project leads, Mass Effect's leader is of course Casey Hudson while Dragon Age is headed by Mike Laidlaw. They're aware of each others work but each team has a very different feel to them and I don't know how much they concern themselves with what the other guys are doing. Besides I believe EA largely runs BioWare's marketing department now . . .
