Got myself a new graphics card and 22" widescreen monitor and when I started playing ME2 (finally without letterbox!!!) I realised that it was time for a break from the game... again. >_<

Lantrun Valkyra was ready to go, now she's not amused.



I played too much Mass Effect and DA:O in the past months (/year). Now I'm rekindling my love for Lords of the Realm 2.



Oh, and I fully support this: "i would love to see biotic shep light up, engineer shep threaten with an omnitool a la tali on feros"

[Reverie]

Yes. I enjoy the atmosphere much more in ME2 for all my picture taking. I'm just glad my old as dirt video card can hold up to the game even on the highest settings.

Question.. does anyone know where I can find a decent tutorial on how to add the Liara outfit from this social.bioware.com/project/3456/ I get that it says to check out the modders group, but I got a little lost as to what I was looking for from there. I also know you need to use the textmod. I'm just stumped from there. It's probably some simple instrauction I've completely missed.

Names for sheps. Those are hard.

Abby. It has a 'double' origin. I think I already said it a couple of weeks ago. Abby is short for Abigail, an old album by King Diamond. And Abby is also the goth chick in NCIS. She rocks.

Hayley. That's for Haley Stark, from the movie Hard Candy. Of course for a guy, at some point, that's a movie really really hard to watch... Anyway, P. Wilson's and E. Page's performances are superb. And she owns. Plus, 'Hayley Shepard' sounds good.

Machete. My dudeshep, that I got it from the fake trailer on Tarantino's Death Proof. Doesn't get anymore badass than that.

 If I had to pick a main theme for ME2 (besides guns and 'splosions ! ) it would be Shepard's struggle with herself when faced with basically everything going against her.  She died.  Everyone abandoned her.  And whereas Kyrie has an inner strength that drives her to hold on to her idealism, Teagan just doesn't have the past foundation to do this.  She is fairly damaged (earthborn/sole survivor) and very cynical.  It's fascinating.

This is why I think Kaidan and Ash fans will see a big payoff either in DLC or the third game.  It's their Return of the Jedi, which means party in teddy bear forest, and rainbows or whatever.  I would be extremely surprised if there wasn't a happy ending for all the characters based on what they've been saying about the general story arc.

okay, *snip* all over the place there...

i like your optimism! and i hope you're right. i want my teddy bear forest - er...or something.

does teagan have an LI? i can't remember.

and ME2 was actually why i settled on colonist war hero. i wanted the at-some-point-stable background for kyrie. it just fit with the journey i envisioned her having over the course of the 3 games. other backgrounds and appearances just gave rise to a different "feel" than i wanted. it's subtle, though. it's lines like "the alliance won't abandon us" that really get me in ME2 - like kyrie has this unwavering faith in the alliance and she just gets kicked to the curb.

Names for FemSheps. Hmm. I'm one of those odd ppl who don't have problems when it comes to names. I do write stories for fun so mostly names I use comes from them. Sometimes I need to change name a bit to fit it in the world. Some fantasy names just don't fit on ME world without little tweaking.

I also used the Jane that's default and ofc I had to make one Jennifer. Just because Jennifer Hale is awesome.

I honestly never put much thought into my characters names. Although oddly enough one of my characters named Nyla has a few meanings to her name, two of them being winner and champion. And my male shep named Alex his name means defending men and protector of mankind. Although my canon shep Jo is kind of named after me, although I have no idea of the meaning since my full name is not on any name database out there.

And I still cannot find any tutorials. I think I'm stuck with default armor.

 As you guys can tell, I'm big on Irish names.  Meaning isn't everything, but I like it to fit the character.

Aislinn -  it means "vision" or "dream"  (a graceful biotic and quite pretty)
Trista -  means "sadness"   (loss of her family and pining for Kaidan)
Constance - "constancy", "steadfastness"  (perfect for my badass Vanguard)

My original Shepard shares my first name, so nothing really special there.

My Kaidan video is about 80% done, it's turning out quite well.

This project has some decent instructions included in the readme Miranda's Locker.  It includes the Liara outfit.

So I uploaded Shai and Liara's first kiss to youtube.  I went into a whole lot of detail in the vid description.  lol.  I wish I could sit down and write fan fic, maybe I will but I'm a major procrastinator.  Check it out if you would like.

The way I roleplay Shai Shepard's story is that she never romanced Liara back on the SR1.  She lied to Liara about her feelings and said she didn't feel the same way that Liara felt back then.  She was scared to get close to her for fear of losing her.  She's always had this fear ever since losing her whole family on Mindoir which is why she never had any close friends and never any lovers.

She is the one who ends up dying and when resurrected by the Lazarus Project, she is angry at first for being brought back to life.  She always felt like she should be dead when everyone around her has fallen.  Shai also has the sole-survivor background.  She even angrily berates Liara for getting her body back.  "You did this to me!" she shouts.  Shai hates looking at herself in the mirror.  She looks at her cybernetic eyes and the ugly scars on her face and feels like a monster.  Her decisions became rash and she almost jeopardizes the mission from her anger.  Cerberus decides to give her intel on where to find the SB's location.  She had been angry at Liara for being so different from the last time she saw her and they hoped that they could help her resolve their issues. 

During the mission, Shai feels increasingly guilty for being such a jerk to Liara.  She may not care much for her own life but was amazed that anyone cared so much for her that they would risk everything to bring her back.  Old feelings that she had always tried to keep under control were resurfacing.  Liara herself was finding it difficult to let go of this special person.  She had always sensed that Shai cared for her but didn't know how to show it.  Back before she died, Shai nearly drunkenly admitted that she had romantic feelings for her. 

And so after the SB's defeat, we see this scene that occurs.  Shai ignores the thoughts in her head that tell her she is nothing but a machine and tool, and is in fact a human that deserves to feel.  Liara senses there is something different in Shai.  Especially since she just hugged her because Shai never makes any physical contact with anyone unless absolutely necessary.  This is Shai's first kiss in her entire life.  

Thanks for sharing that one, ryn.
Very well thought background. Now that kiss has a different weight and meaning.

Exactly.  My happy ending includes FemShep and Garrus riding off into the sunset, going to right wrongs and continue some righteous ass kicking into their old age.

It wasn't that bad.  I picked the tight high bun in the creator, so all I had to change was the hair model to the regular bun.  Didn't mess with the scalp textures at all.

very nice. i think teagan is one of the few sheps i've seen who can work that nose. it looks so cute in the character creator, but it often doesn't "sit" well on faces, i think. you managed to make all her features work well together. the texmod just is icing on the cake.

[ADLegend21]

@ELE: Thank you, thank you *bows*

Thanks.  It's still definitely funky at some angles, but I think that can be said about a lot of the features.

true enough. i feel like my favorite sheps are often ones that take odd or unusual features and manage to make them something beautiful and unique. noah's face structure, teagan and UJ's nose come to mind

WOW.....that hair change made a HUGE difference!  Those "peepers" are certainly the same ones!

Boy, either I'm going blind....or just really oblivious, I thought this was an entirely new face/look for her...nicely done.

....and sorry Teagan, didn't even recognize you

Damn.
That black armor really looks good. I should try it for Abby.
But I'm lazy and all that modding thing sounds complicated.
What about stats ? you lose them all ? Not that they make a big difference, but she's a vanguard and having a 45% boost in melee damage comes in handy.

[Fraevar]

@ELE: Lovely as always. BioWare should offer that hair model out of the box in ME3.
