I like Holly's Colonist/War Hero background. Very fitting and probably pretty close to what I'd come up with myself. The nice thing, is they leave things vague enough that you can fill in the gaps with your own imagination. Both MacKenzie and Moira are Earthborn, but they both followed very different paths. MacKenzie rose above adversity to become a hero and a genuinely good person, who's spunky and happy. Moira became something quite different. She's not a horrible person, per say, but very dark and ruthless.

I'd make a minor change to the Sole Survivor background because I think they sorta screwed it up in ME2 what with the whole ignoring that you're now working for the people who lead you and your comrades into a brutal nightmare of death. I'd make it more like the SAS Bravo Two Zero mission during the first Gulf War, a commando mission that fails and then in the subsequent escape you ended up battling both the enemy and the elements and on Shepard made it to safety the rest being killed or captured. Then there would be less questions about why Shepard was being considered for the Spectres since she fought and evaded enemy patrols for days until rescue, which is one hell of a feat.

I'd actually have to agree with Aislinn. The backgrounds do give some info on your Shepard, but leave it open enough for your own interpretations and reasonings behind thier pasts and personas.



Colonist/Ruthless ties together well for my Cam, like the Colonist/War Hero background for Aislinn's femSheps.



In all honesty, I can't really come up with a suitable past other than Cameron being a colony girl and have that taken away from her, leading her to seek revenge against batarians slavers. That's who she is, and she gets over her hate of batarians thanks to Torfan, as well as Bring Down the Sky.

I wouldn't change anything about Lili's colonist/ruthless background because it shows why she is the way she is. Ya know, why she does things the way she does. (read my blog of her background if you haven't) But I just couldn't change a thing.

BW should have made a background where Shep's parents got a divorce. (Well you have the Sheps with parents and the orphans) Just sayin'.

I made her a colonist/ruthless for a reason and wouldn't change a thing.

Lili had fine life until the raid, losing her friends and family scarred her, so bad she thought she couldn't go on. When she was able to go on, it was because of friends and revenge. But she still thought she would never find somebody to love....that is until she met Garrus.

My point is that that background fits her, and it's what I would have made her story. The girl who's parents get killed then she gets revenge only to loose allies. It's fitting. I think that sums it up. so yeah, Lili is Lili, nothing can change it thus nope. I wouldn't change it, sorry.

How about: "Show me yours, tough guy. I bet mine's bigger."

I ALWAYS take that one. And shooting the mech with the sniper rifle. No one says you have to be a fuddy-duddy!

Enh... I just have her stare at the merc, imagining it to be a Death Glare.

Yes, always take those two as well. And for whatever reason when I did I had my own version of the Batarian's response. Something along the lines of, "Aw I need a new pair of shorts. That is the third time today..."

Nothing trumps headbutting a Korgan though. Nothing! I love how the Shaman bursts into laughter.

I think they did a pretty good job with the backgrounds/psych profiles... they're general enough to sort of cover all your bases while allowing the player to fill in the blanks but also interesting enough that they don't feel bland.  I think they covered our options quite well.  I can't think of changing them for any of my Shepards.

It's beautiful, Jamie! You've captured her perfectly.

[FireEye]

I think the psych profiles are well done in that they cover the paragon/neutral/renegade and give you something to be noteworthy for.

For backgrounds, I might have liked it if the colonist background wasn't as tragic, but it pulls through well enough that I'm not really bothered with it (although, doubled with Sole Survivor, the "lost everything twice and lived" aspect gave my Shepard an interesting facet that I've since grown fond of).  Spacer and Earthborn are fine to me.

I don't think Shep's dad is ever mentioned specifically in the spacer profile.  Just that they were both Alliance.  They could be divorced...


I'll just leave these here.

[Cyansomnia]

Ohhh, those are awesome. I want to find Vasir's armor, now. Hahaha. I really like that screenshot of Vera, Jack and Zaeed.

How did you get the one of her saluting?

Re salute: Haha, I doubt you come across it often in your playthroughs. You have to tell Jacob to keep an eye on Thane after his recruitment and they will exchange salutes.

Re Vasir's armor: I got to midgame and felt like Vera needed an upgrade from her beatup ME1 armor and I had just got to LotSB sooo I "stealed" it.  Vasir doesn't need it anymore...

After recruiting Thane, tell Jacob you don't trust him. (ninja'ed )

That's little OT, but I'm so excited about Bulletstorm, especially that it have a lot of angry, cursing, facepunching Jen Hale and Steve Blum in it. Go see the new trailer

@ELE

Ahh, I see. Nope, I don't think I've ever picked that option...even on Moira. She has a deep respect for Thane. Perhaps because she was undergoing training to become an assassin herself. I really need to write up the backgrounds for my FemSheps...

Thanks for the codes! Saves me having to poke around in the files to find it.

Holy crap, ELE! Vera's new armor looks amazing on her. Well... really, that's to be expected. I mean, it's her. The recolor of Vasir's armor just looks fantastic. I love what you've done with it.

Why thank ye!

And I'm sorry, I lol'd at your pic of Gwynneth. Actually, that was probably the intention. She looks like she just saw a giant double rainbow, and now ME2 is going to crush all her dreams and stomp her Kaidan-loving heart into the ground.  I have a problem.

I really don't know either.  My first thought was they look like the perfect size for sweetarts.  Mmm, candy.

Hahaha, yeah, totally the intention. Gwynn has a problem with the derp. I can barely take her seriously most of the time, but she means well. Thankfully I have this cute little Christmas piece with her and Kaidan (and Hannah Shepard + the whole Normandy SR-2 crew) that I'm writing right now. Maybe it'll soften the blow when he smashes her into little bitty optimistic pieces. 

[mellifera]

Maybe she's a space poisons expert and keeps her stash in easy reach... because this is Dragon Effect for reals.



Or something. Candy is good too.

[Cyansomnia]

 I vote for candy.
