ooh, nice! very good use of that hairstyle, too. i wish there were more short cuts.

randomness, playing me1 make me nostalgic for squaddie banter. upon killing a geth colossus:

Kaidan: Good work. Now we're halfway to driving those sythetic b*st*rds out of this sector.

the matter of fact way in which he says that is priceless. is not swearing. is just what they are.

Speaking of which...



A paparazzi at Afterlife's VIP lounge managed to snap a holo of Jessica that is undoubtedly the sexiest image that's ever been taken of her.  The tabloids the next morning speculated she was coming by to continue her rumored illicit affair with Aria T'Loak, since those same tabloids have made it widely known that the Savior of the Citadel cannot control her asari-centric xenophilia.
Ah yes.  Al-Jilani's been busy.  ../../../images/forum/emoticons/tongue.png

(Catching up) Just reading about Femsheps primarily being judged on their pretty face. I can see how that would annoying... Just stop makimg your Femsheps so gorgeous then! Give a guy a chance, would ya?

For ME I think good lighting happens when talking to Kaidan at his workstation. Both lighting and angle are very favorable for Shep, I think. Example (do forgive the Xbox-quality capture):

I agree with this one.  Except some Shepards get this weird plastic-y glossy sheen there for some reason.

Our Sheps are cousins!

oh and comparing ME1 and ME2 Skirmish armor:

[sagefic]

really? i think the ending shot she has a constipated expression. like "omg, just take the picture already" - or maybe that's my shep. she's not a fan of photo ops.

in honor of lotsb, taking liara with me a little more often this run. she's so useful! though several times she failed to get a singularity off and kaidan took the brunt of the attacks. i think she planned that...

i'm becoming steadily more a fan of her. shows what DLC will do for a character.

Yeah, I brought that up earlier but it seems as though my mention of face structure 7 steered the conversation more towards favorite settings than the issue of female characters restricted to a certain look.

The irony is I think your characters are beautiful, just not in the conventional Megan Fox-y sort of way. 

I guess I'm resurrecting the topic you brought up earlier, but I personally don't feel any pressure to make "pretty" femsheps.  I tend to do it as a matter of personal preference.

Since we're on the topic of femShep's appearance and mannerism, does anyone feel that there is a lot of pressure to make your Shepard conventionally pretty, and not just to others, but for yourself? I've noticed that a lot of maleShep faces are harsh, scarred, and mean looking while femShep faces steer more towards a clean, petite look (face structure 7, here's looking at you...). My point is, female faces posted on the ME2 database site are often judged by their beauty and little else. I find that bothersome.

I just enjoy playing a character that is badass and hot to boot.  I guess it's a part of the escapism for me.  I appreciate that others prefer more realism for their Shep, but if I could stick my Shep in high heels and give her a ridiculous big ass gun I would.  Oh wait, I can.  Sweet. 

As far as the broader topic of it being okay for men in media to be grizzled and "ugly" but woman being judged by beauty.  Unfortunately you'll have to take that one up with society   I can't speak for everyone but I often find harsh, scarred male faces very attractive (Zaeed, how you doin?)

This brings up a salient point for me though, and that is the implication that it's not realistic for femshep to be both gorgeous/sexy and be a badass soldier.

Who cares what people think though, when you've got a Krogan at your back.

or a turian with a sniper rifle
or a teenage quarian tech genius
or the future Shadow Broker with commando powers
or a stable L2 biotic marine with mad tech skills
or a lady with a big-ass gun, an attitude, and a book of poetry
or...

well, you get the idea.

I've been meaning to ask you: Did you post the first version of Danielle's facecode over on masseffect2faces.com? I found one there that looks an awful lot like her, same name, even. I was just wondering if you'd be willing to part with the lastest version.

I know this was like 20 hours ago but it was directed at me so the least I can do is try to answer the question. I've never given out my face codes for ME2 and upon seeing this face (took some digging though) it's not that much like mine the codes are pretty different though both start with 7 and end in 76 and that's pretty much where the similarities end. As for handing out codes and morphs it's always sorta weird for me, if only because I have had problems in the past with people ripping my work off wholesale, reuploading it and saying it's theirs. Which is always super strange for me because I never really think my stuff is worth stealing in the first place and I feel somewhat silly being protective of what essentially is a bunch of computer code that produces a face. Not that I don't want to be a team player and help people out it's just a somewhat awkward situation for me and I'm hesitent to give away "Trade Secrets" so to speak.

Edit: I should ask of those who make custom faces how do you feel about sharing codes? Do you hand them all out or keep them super secret?

I have shared all my face codes.  But I understand wanting to keep a face all to yourself.  Teagan's the first Shep morph I've really felt attached to/ownership over, so I wouldn't post it publicly (like on the face site) but I still give it out if someone PMs me requesting it.

I like to share assuming it's for personal use and enjoyment.  But I've also never had someone claim creation of something that was mine.  I'm assuming that happened to you with DA face morphs.  That might make me think twice.

edit - I'm inclined to feel less proprietary over a Mass Effect face just because the creator is so limited; a lot of femsheps look alike just by chance.

I needs to play ME1 again...I still need to reverse engineer my ME2 face code from my import so I can replay ME1 with my original face for Rachel. I didn't write down the ME1 sliders

Sometimes I feel the intentionally made the ME1 LI's as "unappealing" as possible so we would cheat on them with the ME2 LI's.  I remember reading an article with one of the devs bragging about the new LI's and how it's going to be hard not to be tempted by the new romances.  Ugh.  No offense to those that prefer the ME2 LI's but this was just a thought I had.  Since Kathryn is gay, there really wasn't anyone there for her to raise her eyebrows at and even if Jack or Miri were romanceable, she still wouldn't go for them. 

I have to agree with you there. To each their own, but I was never all that intrigued by any of the ME2 LI's either. If Alex was going to romance anyone, it probably would have been Garrus. However, that whole romance just seemed so akward to me. I think my Shep is much happier having him as a good friend. Honestly though, even if I thought there was an awesome romance option in ME2, I don't think Alex could have "cheated" on Liara. To me, my FemShep/Liara is just a perfect match. In fact, it's my favorite relationship in both ME1 and ME2. I'm a sap like that though.

[jlb524]

I'm a sap too when it comes to romance.

Ouch.  I feel for you but think of the screenshot opportunities!!

It just involves some math and stuff...I should be able to figure it out. 

I'm excited...I haven't played ME1 with her in a long time.

Do you know about the me2 to me1 face-code converter website?

It works like a charm.
