Beautiful! I love how the artist used the dark red to make the picture more interesting.

Fully agree with you. My FemSheps often end up looking like that, but use the camo design for the red.

I love the black or dark gray/ red color combo. One of my favorites.

 I don't know if this has been discussed in great detail, since I am not the best lurker, but do any of you have specific favorite facial scarring for your Femsheps, in ME1?
I am getting really warmed up to sort of gaunt cheeks with the scar that crosses the entire left side of the face, from jaw to cheekbone.


OH NOES, A HIGH RES SCREENSHOT FEST!

Also, I'm horrific at BBCode so that link is probably butchered, but yeah. It's even surpassing the large welt scar across the mid-face at the nose.

It just seems way too complex for them to track all that throughout the entire game.

I don't know...the whole thing sucks, IMO, and should go back to being skill based.

As I understand this: 

The game checks the points you have in Paragon or Renegade against how many points you could possibly have based on everywhere you've been so far in that playthrough, from interupts and other sources. 

You need a certain precentage of what you could possibly have in order to unlock the Blue or Red conversation response option at hand.

Yep.  Renegade player here.  Trick for me is to pick and choose renegade lines.  I never pick the one above for example.  I end up with a mix of a lot of neutral and renegade choices--sort of going for the stoic badass.  The way I look at it is you don't have to stick with just one side of the wheel all the time.  A lot dialogue wheels I don't consider "paragon" or "renegade" choices, just polite, neutral, and **** (and a lot don't give any alignment points.  They're like RP choices.) 

Renegade doesn't always equate to jerk ass.  I was pleasantly surpised at the "I Remember Me" intimidate options from ME1 when I tried the colonist background.  I thought they were pretty touching.

I've noticed some of the Paragon options in LoTSB sounded kind of mean, especially during the hostage situation. I think some of the renegade options are actually the right choices (like during the Clan Wereloc speaker, when I actually listened to his whole speech I was horrified at what they were planning.) and it's the only way to tell Elias Kelham that you're a spectre without all the bs of that interrogation and beating him up.

Two of my favorite renegade Shep moments.  I liked the Kelham intimidate because it made sense only renegades could pull it off.  Shortest.  Interrogation.  Ever.

I loved it, but I love when his lawyer gets there and THEN you tell them you're a spectre, freddies reaction is priceless.

Just a small picture from mine

[NamiraWilhelm]

I have been thinking 'Why haven't more people used the Kelly hairstyle?'



It certainly looks very good on your shep



I might be being weird, but i think that style might look alright on a maleshep. If we could get him 'pretty boy' enough

[skcm]

I really like blonde Femshep, but mine always tend to look a little creepy and washed out (which can be a good thing!) if I don't opt for plastic surgery in ME2. I've found that my preferred hair style for blonde Femshep is 'Mom' just like Khargan's posted example.



LOW QUALITY GIF, AWAY!

Here's a simple "Yes/No" question that I don't intend to cause a controversy in asking:

When you design a custom FemShep, do you at all take in to account the fact that, in the ME setting, humanity is near a racial singularity?  That is, most everyone is of mixed races, and recessive traits, like blond hair and blue eyes, are extremely rare.

I do think about this. My sheps are always dark haired and dark eyed as i am, and white as i am. Part of me thinks it should get brought up because its a rarity, but i know that'd get a bit complicated

I don't, based on the fact that altering in-born traits (like eye color and hair color) is likely very easy in the ME setting.  Not to mention the possibility of genetic engineering for desired traits by parents able to afford it (ie Miranda's father.)  That's just my personal assumption based on no official facts whatsover though.

[NamiraWilhelm]

Yeah, there's nothing to say Shep hasnt played around with her pigmentation etc.

I always liked the one that goes across the bridge of the nose.  You can kind of see it here:

I love all the scars, but those two are my favourites:

- Devon's scar on her cheek



- Noah's lip scar

 

[NamiraWilhelm]

Wish i added a scar to my femshep. Was clearly very vein for her, love scars including my own

Yeah, exactly. As I said above, I get the distinct impression that, canonically, Shepard is mistrustful of Cerberus regardless of alignment.

Jennifer Hale backed this up in the same interview (with Destructoid?) that she says she wants to do the motion capture suit stuff. She was having to be a bit circumspect (think it must have been pre ME2's release) but she said something along the lines of "Shepard's having to deal with something that she does not like at all ... Martin Sheen has a role to play in that."

[skcm]

I tend to give my Shepards dominant trait eye colors, most have variations of brown (some of the ones you can choose from creation look really nice and vivid, while still looking rich), though I did have a few exceptions...granted, I have a /lot/ of Shepard, erm, faces.

Quick thought that came to me. I know we've talked about how many of us feel like we are Shepard while we're playing her, or how we at least share her feelings (I'm the latter). However, there is the odd occasion where Shepard's feelings deviate from my own. The biggest one I can think of is Kaidan, especially post-Virmire. I love Kaidan; not only is he well-written, Sbarge is a great voice actor who I've loved listening to ever since I was introduced to Carth Onasi, and I find him the most useful squadmate in ME1 besides Liara.

Jessica is a bit different. Because of her background she does not have a good view of men in general (the line to Ashley "You ask me, all boys need a cold shower that lasts from age twelve to twenty-five" was the outstanding example in the first game of a line that might as well have been written just for her). She doesn't hate men generally speaking, but she has trouble relating to them; nevertheless, she got surprisingly close to Kaidan (at least for her), striking up the deepest friendship she'd had with any man for a long time.

That all changed after Virmire and her sacrifice of Ashley. Not only was she devestated with sorrow and guilt for Ashley's sake, but she also feels resentment that Kaidan got into a situation where she had to make that choice and resents that he's the one who's alive instead of Ash (which makes her feel like a horrible person just by itself). Now she can't look at him without thinking of Virmire and stirring up all those feelings, and as a result she basically shut down around him, talking to him only for duty-related communication. On top of it all is a good dose of guilt for treating him this way, because she intellectually knows it's not his fault and this is very unfair of her. Problem is, she can't stop the feelings, and has no idea how to put things back the way they used to be between them. As a result, her friendship with Kaidan is almost completely dead.  I kind of dread how badly she'll treat him on Horizon.

This is one situation where I sit back and say, "What the heck is wrong with you?" Normally my feelings towards the people and events in the games overlay hers, but like often happens for roleplaying and writing, the character has developed a mind of her own and insists on behaving that way, no matter how much I might disagree. Does this happen with anyone else and their Shepards?

May I first submit to you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you!? And that you're reacting in exactly the way you're supposed to.

The Virmire Choice, to give a name to our moral dilemma, has no 'clean' outcome. Whatever choice you make, you'll wind up feeling guilty about it. By design. In Gödel, Escher, Bach, for instance, Douglas Hofstadter posed a similar moral dilemma, like if a person would force you to kill either your mother or your father, what would you do? To make a long story short, he offers a way out: namely to unask the question by... ignoring it. Instead of arguing with the guy who threatens to chop off your head if you don't choose, or fight him, or do anything radical, or anything at all, for that matter, you simply pretend the whole proposition was never put to you in the first place (basically, what it boils down it, is that when you unask the proposition, whatever the perpetrator then does, like kill you, or you and both your parents, the responsibility for doing so then remains squarely with him, and him alone. Why, it's a bit more involved than that, but that's essentially the gist of it).

Now the thing is, on Virmire, you don't have the luxury to unask the choice being forced on you. You simply have to make a choice. Period. And it's a horrible choice to make. You have two people you hold dear in your party, and you're obligated to send one to his/her death. Had you chosen Kaidan to die, you might have resented Ashley as well for still being alive (for having put you on the spot, as it were; whereas, intelectually, you know that to be false).

In terms of RPG, I find The Virmire Choice to be a masterful one. Why? Because it's doesn't offer a clean way out. And this is part of what it means to be a commanding officer. You don't get the luxury commonly afforded the grunt: you're the one that has to make the call; and someone will die because of what you decide that day; and that person didn't have it coming. And I know soldiers who are purposely not looking to becoming an officer, precisely for that reason: it's an awful frakkin' heavy responsibility to bear.

So, I say your ambivalent feelings are entirely normal. You're entangled in the inevitability of making an inherently unclean decision. If, indeed, there's anything 'wrong' with Shepard, I would say that Bioware doesn't give her enough time (or any, really) to contemplate on such matters (like her own untimely demise and subsequent miraculous recovery. Somehow "I got better," while funny, doesn't quite cut it). Perhaps they're willing to think about this stuff for the next installment. We can only hope.

My favorite scar is the one that starts at the eyebrow and down across the cheek

The first time I created Alexandra in ME1, it really didn't cross my mind. In more recent incarnations, I've kept that in the back of my mind but ultimately, I just go with what I felt suited the character.
