The last ME1 shots before importing the save game.

Accessing the Citadel control.


Companions reactions when they found out that Shepard's alive.


Little smile (finally!).




Tiia reached lvl 57.

Quiet around here this morning. Here are a few shots I liked of Kate that I haven't posted yet.
 
About as close to a combat shot as I'm going to get.

 
Enough monologing!


 
Shot from the collectors ship, thanks to Sage's tutorial on giving Shep a breather mask


 
I just thought this one was neat looking

Wasn't that impressed with the new LIs. None of the males really blew me away enough to cheat on Kaidan with the Shepards who romanced him. Now if they'd tempted my Shepard with, say, Hackett or Kal'Reegar in ME3? I can't promise any loyalty. 

seriously. what was with having alec baldwin as a VA and not making his character an LI? - even a small one. *sigh*

My Shepards all remained faithful to Kaidan and the one single Shep I made with the intention of using for a ME2 romance stayed single as well because none of the ME2 romances appealed to me enough to pursue.  As much as I love Garrus as the best friend to my Shep's I just found myself unable to view him romantically.

And thank you for the compliments on the screen shot, I'm still a rank novice when it comes to creating pictures of Kate so it's more luck than skill when it comes to pics of mine that turn out well.

Wow, Noah seriously rocks that dress, Chignon. That devilish pixie-look she has on occasion just nails it <3
Argh, why couldn't we have a scene where she sits down with her legs crossed like Aria and every other woman in the game does...

[Captain Crash]

Scary how accurate it is though. I understand why she does it with everything she said. But it also contributes directly to the problem by girl gamers just accepting it.

screens from tali's mission. and i'm not going to try to come up with clever captions, as that doesn't seem to be my strong suit. ;p







^ Kyrie rallied the crowd this time. Never done that before. It was glorious.

Honestly, Garrus was the romance my Shep had been waiting for forever. So I was very happy when it finally happened

I'm still holding out for a Reegarmance in ME3. They'll have to introduce a FEW more potential love interests for the people jumping into ME3, right? Right? That's what they did for ME2, after all. I'm holding out for Joker, too. I mean, Adam Baldwin and Seth Green-voiced romances? YES PLEASE!


You can sneer all you want, Dia, but you won't be getting Hackett. I'm sorry.

Thought I would drop this link from Kotaku regarding the ME2 player statistics: http://kotaku.com/5698422/mass-effect-2-gamers-greatly-prefer-playing-as-soldier-dudes , if anyone is interested on reading more comments about the stats.

This comment made me sad.



I haven't played ME2 yet, but I (a girl) was
planning on starting off as a dude. I generally play through first as a
dude since most games are designed with male players in mind. I think
you usually get the most out of a game that way. The only real
exception I can think of is DA:O when I can't seem to RP though the
complete game as a dude, and TES III:Morrowind when so much of the story
is in your head that RPing as a woman is easier for me. I usually
start a trial game, put out feelers as to what the game is telling me,
and then trust my instinct as to whether a male or female character will
work best.

I'll find out for sure this summer how I fit into
this statistics set when I actually have a chance to sit down, play, and
enjoy the game without grad work looming over my shoulder. 

uff.... i'll probably get burned for this but.... is it really that bad ? i mean, her approach to gaming.
she's playing male characters for the same reasons i'm playing femshep. she's not playing her own gender just because she's supposed to. she wants to get the best experience.

of course, i understand there aren't many games featuring fully developed female characters, but that's another issue.
i hope she plays ME2 as femshep at least once. i'm sure she'll love it.

Heh, I'd be easier to get my single Shep through ME1 if I knew one of them was waiting for her at the end.

Me too, and I only started playing ME1 like, 9 months after ME2 came out. I wasn't exactly waiting but I still liked it xDD The friends-> lovers, the trust and the awkwardness of it is exactly why I love the Garrus romance, but I also like Kaidan and Liara's and I have Shepards that romance both of them (and stay faithful).

But yeah. Fave LI and character is my favorite.

Meh, I agree with you *shrug*.
In general I'm reluctant to judge others for what comes down to personal preference.

The thing that is dismaying about the post above, is more the reason she plays as a male character: because she feels like the developers make a better game for male characters because they are designed with men in mind.  That is disappointing.

Just because this is the femshep thread, I don't think it means everyone has to be hardline "Femshep is the better choice".  I hope that's not the spirit of the thread.  We love playing as femshep--that doesn't mean it should be imposed on other players.  I support femshep because I like playing as a female character, and want an equal-quality game as her male counterpart, not because I want everyone to love femshep over maleshep.

Hmmm, you have another fireproof suit on you?

I think that comment is sad because she expects videogames to give players of female characters a "lesser" experience than one would get by playing as a male character.  Of course she should play what she prefers, but if she's doing it because she doesn't believe a female hero is going to be as good of a gaming experience as the male hero, it is depressing.

When I was a kid, I was desperate for female role models.  I loved stuff like She-Ra, I was a huge fan of Scarlet and Cover Girl on GI Joe, and I secretly believed that Boba Fett was female under that armor (thanks for crushing my dream, Lucas...).  It makes me sad to see anyone believe that female heroes *can't* be as good as a male hero, even in a video game, where there is no reason not to give them parity.

That's just my take on it, no flaming intended.

~passes out fireproof suits, puts one on herself~  I agree with you.  I play FemShep, my husband plays MaleShep exclusively.   We neither of us have to play the opposite gender that way.  

I really want him to finish his paragon Jack romance -- I've gotten to see Ashley's, Liara's and Miranda's that way.   He's seen all the male LIs.  (Told me to stick with Garrus & Kaidan after seeing Jacob's.)  We're just missing Thane's and Tali's.

Ditto.  I patterned my early personality on Wonder Woman, Princess Leia (mostly her), Miss Piggy and Margaret Houlihan.  I was a grumpy little girl.   I would have eaten FemShep up had it been around.

I agree with you TZ, everyone has the right to play their game however they want. However I also agree the sentiment that it's disappointing that someone feels that they have to play a male toon to get the better gaming experience.
