Very nice Shepards, Flies_by_Handles



I've only beaten ME2 with one Shepard....5 or 6 times. I have trouble playing others, though I've tried.

I don't know if you guys noticed this or maybe it is just me.

Does ME1 Shepard look older than in ME2? Some don't but some do.

My other sheps looked younger in ME1 and older in ME2. I haven't imported the latest, so we'll see.

I really like the sheps, files. very nice.

i feel like each of my shep  playthroughs has been a different draft of the same shep. basically,  just tweaking things until i got her right. i just don't feel the need to play her differently anymore, but i do love seeing other people's shep screenshots, vids, and art, etc.



posting that again because.

I do keep changing my Shep's hair but now I'm back to her original:

*looks at above FemShep pics* very nice.

I don't know if I'm the only one but I haven't been able to create any new characters for either ME for months...it's like writers block...with a character creator...

Yeah, I know what you mean.  I have had trouble making a good looking or strikingly different Shepard for a long time.  In the end, I either use the random character and tweak her or I copy a face code from the face code database and do some major tweaks to her there.     Still doesn't come out the way I want her to.  Oh well.  I know that nothing I ever make will top my canon Shepard.  She was made from scratch and I doubt I will be able to create her from scratch again if I had to.  Good thing I have her code saved in a few places and will also have her headmorph file too, once I get around to doing it.

Cool.
I tend to take default FemShep and tweek the features until I get something new...my last one made Ugly Shepard look pretty.

I made this after beating the suicide mission again, even I don't know what it is. It's sort of Grindhouse-y or some stylistic thing at any rate, thought it looked interesting.







Oh and on the subject of other Shep designs I'm with ryn in that I have one character that's just fantastic I don't want to, or think I can, out do it. I might be able to do something different but I don't know if I'd ever actually use it myself.

Catching up as best I can:
 re: Scars, I trust PC players who miss realistic scarring have seen Quething's Scar Continuity Program retexture? I mean, I'm kind of in love with his(her?) Dramatic Scarring for FemShep* anyway, so maybe I'm biased, but it seems to fit the bill.

I Remember Me is one of those sidequests that sticks in your head. Took me about twenty minutes to finish the first time, with a lot of putting down the controller and going outside to breathe. It's kept me from even once making a deal with Charn in Bring Down The Sky - "a simple slave grab" is more than enough reason for me. I've taken embittered, Ruthless Colonists through the game, but I simply cannot make the mental connections that say "Shooting Talitha is best for everyone". There's no logic to it. She's hurting, but at least she's free.

You know, I don't think I've ever punched out Ms. al-Jalani. It just seems so...unprofessional. If her little camera drone was right up in my face and she followed me around, maybe it'd be okay, but she sounds so smug when you clock her one that I think she's trying to provoke you to cry Council censorship.

Basically all of my FemSheps now are database code tweaks, but it's amazing what swapping out the common facial features for a less frequently used one can do to make them interesting. Of course, I haven't made a new one in months being neck-deep in C.ini these days, but that's how I do. I'm lucky enough to have not yet made one I don't feel I could ever top, so I still enjoy messing with the creator.

And there are too many in ~5 pages to list them all, but another excellent round of screenshots and arts. Nice to see I'm not the only person who prefers a 2-round Claymore.

* This is actually one of my few complaints re: FemShep's treatment by Bioware. She doesn't get any of the really pronounced, face-changing scars that ManShep does. She's still a Marine, damn it, and Spacer/Ruthless is the only combination I can see that might not have picked up a noticable scar. Let my girl take the hit!

I never once punched her out either...until my last playthrough, which I would consider my canon story.  It is definitely unprofessional and at the time that made perfect sense for me.  The first game I used all the paragon charm options, totally diplomatic and professional.  In ME2 my Femshep was totally bitter at how things turned out, and felt like "playing by the rules" had gotten her nowhere the first time around.  At the point she came to the reporter she just didn't care anymore.  Pretty much screw politics, screw the Alliance, I'm gonna do whatever I want.  I had her renegade interrupt punch her out, and it felt damn good. Then she said something to the effect of "I should have done that the first time we met," and went on her merry way.  Very satisfying.

Also it made watching the LotSB videos of Al-Jalani getting punched out by a krogan and a volus that much more hilarious for me.

I kinda wish the punch option for al-Lilani was switched witha wedgie option. much more humane.

bumping for femshep love



I'll hopefully post a pic of my madly in love wi th kaidan shep soon

[Vralenalien]

I, Remember Me was really touching and emotional scene to play. I wasn't even used to all the hard choices ME will deliver when I first got to that part. My very first playthrough was with colonist background. Hale does phenomenal job on that scene.
My current Shep got to that last night and even tho I was bit afraid what happends when you use the renegade options when talking to her I wanted to try those. Those were as good and almost as touching as paragon once were, but instead of comfort Shep tries to breath strenght in her. Hale delivers those lines really well. As for just killing her or something I can't see any of my Sheps ever do something like that no matter how renegade she might be.

As for what comes designing new FemSheps. At first all my FemSheps seemed to look very much alike. They still do in some extent. I think I got Jennifer more different tho, but that might be just the hair since it was first time I used the ponytail hair. I wasn't 100% satistied of my first FemShep which is my canon one so she went through some changes in ME2. Alltho I have 1 playthrough as she is in ME1 too.
My last attempt to get ME1 through without romance I used default FemShep even tho I didn't like her look that much when I saw it first time. At the end of ME2 I already liked it and she blew up the collector base with style.

She's
named Jennifer after our awesome VA. She's colonist and Ruthless. Atm
she seems to be paragade and hopefully I can keep her out of romances.
(Read: Out of not falling in love with Liara.) To that end I'm going to
do Therum last even tho there is huge possibility that it goes. "Ooh,
Liara how awesome shade of blue you are!"

Truly
amazing shot! There's like a faint hint of a smile on her face. And she
wears it beatifully. She is very pretty. It's the small moments that
count.

Thank you Iwakura. :happy:
I was lucky with that one, but then again that's how it usually seem to go with screenies. If you plan them they rarely are what you wanted them to be.
Your Kira looks lovely aswell.

Thank you for playing thru it as renegade, and telling us about it. I never really had the heart to do so myself, but it's a relief to hear Hale managed to shine there as well (now why does this still come as a surprise to me? Nothing Jennifer Hale does is ever trite). Now I'm inclined to go back and try it myself.

As for what comes designing new FemSheps. At first all my FemSheps seemed to look very much alike. They still do in some extent.

I know what you mean. I briefly created a new Femshep once (Sandra, the one on the right):





LOL. She just wound up looking almost exactly like my Kira (and I abandoned that track altogerher). And I created Re-L, in ME2, because I wanted to experiment with modding. Ultimately, to me, it's not a matter of downright inaptitude: if I really sat down, I could probably make another beautiful Femnshep. The thing of it is, though: (subconsciously?) I kinda don't want to. I've grown attached to my Kira. I feel loyal to her. Not out of obligation or something, but because I simply am her. Though I decidedly like the package, Femshep is a whole lot more to me than just her appearance.

Thank you Iwakura.
I was lucky with that one, but then again that's how it usually seem to go with screenies. If you plan them they rarely are what you wanted them to be.

Which is why I usually just leave the camera running. Then I can frame-step thru the FRAPS movies later, and sort it all out.

Your Jennifer really shines, though. I'm sure it's been said before, but it's actually harder to make a believable Femshep than just a pretty face. Yours I can see as a real Commander, and still watch her for her looks.

I have a tendency towards rerolling disease, myself; I don't so much have multiple Shepards as I have this one, single Shepard I keep replaying through Mass Effect 1 every so often because there's just some mission or detail or whatever that I'm unhappy with and want to fix.

She keeps ending up a Soldier; I've tried Infiltrator and I've wanted to like Vanguard, but.. for some reason, I just keep ending up feeling that it isn't her, somehow..

You can probably blame the cutscenes, really; I keep envying cutscene Biotics who can really tear loose mid-sequence; Shepard has a tendency to be stuck with gunning, so I think it's pretty much ended up as "okay, fine. If she's going to be forced to swing an assault rifle, I may just as well swing the biggest one there is! ha!"


She always seem to end up younger than I intend to; might be the eyes. Still, it's one of those consistent details that tend to stick through all various incarnations, along with the set armor colours. Very plain and simple - it's actually weird, I keep seeing all these screenshots of Shepards that use shiny colours and fancy patterns and it looks great.. and then I try it on Kate, and it looks all wrong! I just don't get it.

Your Femshep is prettier than you may think. I especially like the way she looks in your profile picture. Seems all that fiddling around paid off.

[Jane Shepard]

My canon character.



Name: Jane Shepard
Background: Earthborn/Survivor
Alignment: mostly Paragin, but also Renegade in some situations.
class: Soldier

ME1 Council: The Destiny Ascension saved.
The Rachni: Released the Rachni Queen.
Feros: Zhu's Hope colonists and Shiala survived.
Virmire: Wrex was saved, but Ashley died.
Conrad Verner: convinced Conrad to return to Earth, and spend time with his wife.
Noveria: Assisted Gianna Parasini in her investigation into Anoleis.
Bring Down the Sky: Kate Bowman and the hostages were rescued, Balak escaped.
Anderson or Udina: Captain David Anderson became a human councilor.

ME2 and the Council: Regained Spectre status
The Collector Base: Destroyed. The Illusive Man was very angry.
Suicide Mission casualties: All teammates and crew members survived.
The Geth: Rewrote the geth heretics.
Tali: Full Paragon, and Tali wasn’t exile.
Genophage cure data: Kept the cure.
Overlord: saved David.

Romance: Kaidan in ME1 and Jacob in ME2 (or Garrus or Thane)
Best Friends: Jane became a good friend of Liara, Ashley and Garrus (Mass Effect 1) . And in Mass Effect 2 her best friends were Jack, Miranda, Tali, Garrus and Kelly. And also Joker.
Personality: Jane doesn’t like conflicts, but she also doesn’t like when people become rude with her or with her friends. When Jane was the child, she was very shy and timid. But in the Military Academy she has changed a lot.
Now Jane Shepard continues to protect mankind and her native planet from the Reapers.

A bit later I'll tell about two my other FemSheps. Diana and Mikaela

I went to bed really early last night so I'm gonna try to play catch up.

Flies_by_Handles wrote...

 Over the past few weeks I started two new femSheps and I wonder if others in this thread have felt conflicted by creating multple characters. A couple of things I worried about are:

1. Creating a face that I find as satisfying as my original Shepard. The character creator is a bit of a crapshoot forcing you to cross your fingers when pressing the confirm button. I also worried about not having the ability to create another face that I would consider "good."

2.  Seeing the new Shepard as a separate character from the one I have used these past two years.

3. Worrying that I will see the new character as the official Shepard....that must sound real stupid but I can't put my finger on why I would find that a little troubling.

I can relate. I've played both games with one character, Alexandra Shepard. Sometimes I might tweak the hair color (I wasn't thrilled with the ME1 color that was my main save imported into ME2), or as in this most recent ME1 playthrough, I totally changed Alex's facial scars.

I made 1 male Shepard. It was really hard getting through the entire game on him. It's nothing against him, it's just in my mind there can only be one Shepard.

One of these days, I'm going to have to create a 2nd Shep. I want to be able to catch the renegade choices. Or maybe Alex will just wake up in an alternate world where the Lazarus Project failed and she woke up with a whole new personality.

I have not seen that. I'll have to look at it more closely. I could have a lot of fun with something like that. Thanks for sharing:)


@Jane, I love that screenshot. Nice bio too.

Okay, since I've yet to show off Alex, here we go. I don't have any action shots yet because well, I just started taking screenshots.


Alexandra Shepard
Spacer/War hero
Paragon

My "canon" Alex is a soldier. I've thought about changing her background, but Spacer/War hero kind of stuck. When I first started ME1, I wanted to see if I could get through the entire game without getting a single Renegade point. I was successful and after that playthough, I couldn't see Alex as anyone else. I have a whole background story swimming around in my head somewhere but I've yet to put it on paper.

[Chugster]

well im currently playing through on an 'evil twin/what if' Shep, she is the opposite of my canon shep Jane (I know), ive used the paragon ME1 playthrough but instead of going the paragon route ive gone completely renegade, basically she if pissed off coz everyone aside from Anderson mistrusts her and unlike my canon shep, Jayne gets angry with everyone...was fun telling the council where to stick it



I just wish i could get some decent screenies, most of mine are from normal gameplay where the lighting and the close ups are usually crap

[Iwakura-Lain]

Morning, fellow Femsheppers (and/or Femshippers?). Was playing around a bit with Photoshop, and pulled up an old Femshep banner I once made:





Sparkly, for sure. Today, though, I decided that I didn't like it any more, LOL. Kira facing me directly, I dunno, it felt a bit dull to me. So I remade it into this:





Eh, still too boring. Besides, I don't like the fugly green background behind her sniple rifle (nothing wrong with green by itself; Kira wore her green Heavy Krogan armor very often; but there's something wrong with this green). So, spiced it up a little more:





What the eye don't see, the artist gets away with. And, finally, look at what crappy source material I had to work with:





If there was ever eminent domain to force AA on Mass Effect, this is it, LOL; if she looked any more jaggy I could slice bread with her! (Can't get nHancer to do it with the Steam version of ME1 yet, but I digress).

I'd really love to see some of your banners. If anyone ever made any, of course. I love the 'cosy' dimensions of a banner (although this board's 45px height is a little too small for me: I just can't work within those restrictions; half the time I need a loupe to find the characters therein, or the banner itself even).
