I just went through my recent screenshots and found what I think may be my favorite picture of Jessica Shepard so far.



For once I can't tell what she's thinking, but she seems pensive, even a little sad.

Stunning....

[Fiery Phoenix]

I really like that one, Sable!

Yes, Jessica Shepard is in my top 10 list of fave Shepards. <333 If there is one advantage I think FemShep players have is we have better customization options. Which is why it's difficult to make an ugly FemShep!!!

Mikaela and I totally agree with that:)

Must. Resist. Can't do it.

Same
here.  I think I slip into my Shep's skin rather than creating her as a
possession.  If I were her, I'd basically do everything I already do in
the game, including going for Liara.

I think you
just hit the nail on the head. I play my Shep the same way. I
essentially become her. There are very few characters I've been able to
connect with to the same extent as I can with my Shep.

As a writer myself, (webcomics), any character I play, write or whatever will be an extension of my own personality to a certain degree. I believe it is that way for most writers, creators, etc. Early on in ME and ME2 I definitely just let myself be the character, but in pulling away from that a bit in later playthroughs, especially in ME2, the character became her own person. Oddly enough, if she were real, I’m not sure we would even get along that well, even though we share similar ideals. UJ Shepard is much more conservative than I am and sees things a little more black and white than I do. She is a honky-tonk party girl, something I am not in any way, shape or form. She’s a little more casual w/ her relationships than I am. For me, the differences aren’t just background and gender. She is her own person. In a way, the lack of a stronger narrative (as in ME1), allowed the imagination to take over a bit more in ME2. Though UJ can’t help but be a part of me, there are some profound differences. As far as in the game, as w/ Sable, Mordin on Tuchanka is a great example. UJ tore into Mordin like a tornado, but I would have cut the guy a bit of slack. I can see Mordin’s point. UJ was like, nu-uh. You don’t do that. And she too agonized over the decision, but ultimately took the practical route, “better to have it and not need it.” Though still paragon, I like to play her as a little bit of a hypocrite. She’s got a little, “do as I say, not as I do” in her. For me, the fun of the game is the evolution of this character and I can’t wait to see who she ultimately becomes in ME3.

Currently, I’m doing a renegade playthrough and it’s a lot of fun as this girl, Erica Shepard, is nothing like me at all. She is a b*tch, though I would not classify her as evil. The motto I am guiding my playthrough w/ is that she is there to win a war, not friends.

It is possible to mod these armors into ME2 on PC



But it's a huge PITA.  Like most ME2 modding actually.  I guess it depends on how high your tolerance for frustrating workarounds is.

well if its just a case of adding the line to the c.ini then thats no problem, as you can see from my last pic i got a green version ingame, but would love to know how to get different skins, maybe using the Wasea version as well

if you could send me a quick pm with the details? or post it here...lots of people liek this outfit

That is why I classify myself as a reader and not a writer. I've created characters with the intent of giving them a totally unique personality. For some reason they always revert in to my original, Alexandra Shepard. I created Alex gave her a background and a personality and it stuck. In my mind Commander Shepard is none other than Alexandra.

As I said earlier, I put myself into Shepard. In any given situation, I ask myself, what would I do if this was really up to me? It's not that I lack imagination. It's just that once I get something into my head, I have a hard time getting it out. I had a little more luck with my male Shepard. Obviously, he was not Alex. I could do whatever I wanted with him. Now while it was fun to see some of the other choices one can make, it just seemed wrong. Everything felt out of place. As if I was playing in an alternate world or something. If I could get past this roadblock, I might be able to create an alternate FemShep with an entirely unique persnality. I have nothing but respect for all of you that can create several Shepard’s and breath life into each of them. I suppose that is the beauty of fanfic, videos, art, etc.

Edit: Fixed formatting, not sure how it got all wonky

Dang I was going to link to a thread in another forum where I explained how to do this and it's GONE.  Domain has expired.  Boo.  Here's the simplified version.

1. Add the armor to your ini as a casual outfit
SPECTRE armor is mesh BIOG_HMF_ARM_MED_R. MEDc.HMF_ARM_MEDc_MDL
The different patterns come from changing the number of the material type
FemaleMaterialOverride="BIOG_HMF_ARM_MED_R.MEDc.HMF_ARM_MEDc_MAT_1a"

2. Add a binding to your ini to force casual wear off the Normandy
Bindings=(  Name="NumPadSix", Command="setSFXPawn_Player bUseCasualAppearance true" )

In the game, force casual wear with your binding then go into the armor menu and choose the casual outfit with the desired armor.  When you exit out Shep should be wearing it.  I used the armor locker to avoid going to the captain's cabin on the Normandy.

Using this method weapons are invisible.  I can't figure another way to get the different textures to load off the ship though (since it normally defaults to that green camo.)

I am looking forward to Christmas Ape releasing his ini tutorial.  I can explain methods I've used, but I'm terrible at explaining how specifically to mod the ini step by step.

So this should work for any of the Mass Effect armors that show up as casual wear but not as armor.  All the Mass Effect 1 medium, heavy, and spectre armors are there.

Edit: OMG formatting

hmm, ill look at my modded c.ini (I use the strudelman modded c.ini) tomorrow, I actually added the mesh to the c.ini so it shows up in the armor section, but it shows up as green, ill check the mesh you used againts mine, maybe its different or maybe my method only gives the green version

Hahaha!

I've been perusing Sage's fanfic, Valkyrie, and came across this priceless exchange:

"I find it's best not to tell a woman how to drive, Garrus," Kaidan told him.

"Whoa," Shepard said, glaring over at Kaidan and then back at Garrus. "Are you two suggesting that I can't drive because I'm a woman?"

"Ah," Garrus choked out a laugh. "It was nice knowing you, lieutenant."

Appropriate to the thread because it's centered around femShep, and it's too hilarious not to share.  I laughed for a good three minutes.

It always seems to go to a default texture regardless of material type when set as an armor.  I've only been able to get the different skins by making it casual wear.

[Chugster]

hmm, maybe i wont bother then, i dont mind changing or adding to my c.ini but keybinds that need to be used everytime you load just seem like too much effort...but thanks for posting, im sure others will use it

I just wish the standard armor parts didnt have that 'carbon fibre' effect on them, then i wouldnt be so bothered about modding these other armor parts

I have the same "problem". But I'm working on that.

What's really funny is that it only seems to be femShep who is made the butt of driving jokes.  dudeShep is just as terrible, and gets off scott free.

I think it's more likely that artists draw their Shepard and their Shepard just happens to be a woman.
