Lol yeah I edited when I realised thanks.



Another question (because I'm starting a whole new game today) with the femshep Avatars, are you putting those in the DA:O folder to make them upload?



Sorry for all the questions

Yes.  

And, of course, to prove my point, my profile picture reverts to UglyWarden.

I believe it's done by linking/uploading characters from DA to the Bioware site after changing their thumbnail pic with another image, but then again I'm obviously not using a custom avvie, so I can't say for sure.

[Corephyfish]

Thanks, i'll try it out

Now that the "super secret Sentinel power" is being known to further parts of community, it is called "boring" and "overpowered" again.

That's because there is a group of people who just play Sheploo Soldiers over and over again, they want everyone to have as little fun as them so they bash everything. They bash FemShep and they bash every class that isn't Soldier, Vanguards both suck and are overpowered, Sentinel is boring and Adept is useless, etc. Their problem is that everyone is having so much fun playing the game the way they want to but they just want everyone to be unhappy and play the game their way so they can tell them how much they suck at it and how good they are.

Basically they want to turn Mass Effect into Halo and have an e-peen measuring contest.

Ewww, yeah.  There's a reason I don't play Halo/CoD/BF online, and it's not because I don't like military shooters.  A hostile male environment is a real turnoff; and unfortunately those games usually have the tiniest of single player campaigns.  And it's disappointing that devs probably assume it's because "girls don't like those sorts of games" when it's really the fact that it's a very discouraging environment towards females.  Granted those guys are usually dicks towards eachother too, but also being female you just have more of the deck stacked against you.  It's why the idea of a Mass Effect multiplayer both interests and scares me.  

On one hand I like the idea of being able to play with other "femsheps" (not femshep herself, but equivalent avatars).  On the other hand, I don't need all the femshep bashing you find on the internet in the game too.  Because you know that would happen.

Well rant over.  I'm just really thankful at least in the Mass Effect series I can play someone like femshep and not have to deal with idiots.

snicker.  just make sure to change it to "read only" and your custom pic won't get overwritten.

Potentially stupid question, ELE; can this be done with just the character creator or only with a PC copy of DA itself?

[Hedera]

@ ELE: Thanks.  UglyWarden is far inferior to Femshep.

Both work.

<---This is from the character creator because I uninstalled DAO.

[Corephyfish]

so how do I change it to read only?



could you give me a step by step?



(im not usually this noobish but its 7am lol)

Right click-->properties-->check read only-->apply

The one time I ever played anything online I made the mistake of speaking. Never again!



I keep on making and remaking femSheps. I think I have one set, finally, but I can't decide who her LI will be or if she should be a sentinel or a vanguard. I keep leaning toward vanguard because I love charge, but I want to try sentinel too. I want a Kaidan faithful Shepard but I want to remake my lost Liara romancing one. I guess the solution is to make two Shepards, but I've been having an awful time making faces and I've played so much ME the last two months I don't want to wear it out. Opinions?

[Sialater]

Make two.

[Hedera]

@Yuki: More Femsheps is always a good thing.  And getting burned out won't be a problem with DA2 coming out soon.  


As for the whole playing games online, I find it horrible how any females are instantly vilified by the male members of the online community.  It's more of a societal problem though, so what can be done?  

Back on topic, FEMSHEP!

Unfortunately, the developers are relatively restricted themselves because online policy control is upon the discretion of Sony or Microsoft. Bungie has surprisingly attempted to adhere more to a broader audience with female soldiers and voice options. Probably their best implication was feature that literally kicks players off the service for quitting/team killing and etc. Beyond that though, muting a specific person is your only alternative. For the campaigns, it is a backdrop that is deemed irrelavent because people play CoD and Halo for online deathmatch, not campaign. A primary the notion of multi-player in ME3 is unnerving.

On the bright side, should the ME series produce spin-offs (and I guarantee it will.) You can always Friend request the Femshep thread and ignore everyone else. ^^

And you lie. Mass Effect has idiots! Like good ol' Conrad Verner.

@cgrimm

Only real alternative for women is to find those good groups that do exist and stick to playing with them and other friends. Hell that solid advice for either gender. I have come across my fair share of twelve year olds screaming. Always fun. >.>

The twelve-year-old thing is one of the several very good reasons I steer clear of CoD games.  Previous addiction notwithstanding.  Mass Effect is simply so much better, AND there's nobody screaming obscenities at you while you throw Blue Suns around like pebbles.

Well, I dunno about that...

[Aeowyn]

Used to play WoW quite frequently a year ago. There wasn't really that much rage unless you pugged but as soon as they found out that you were female. Holy crap...



I've decided to try a vanguard for real, but I can't for the life of me make a pretty face for her and it bugs me. Just out of curiosity. What face do you use as a base for your Sheps?

[leggywillow]

@Aeowyn:  I think the general consensus is that it's easiest to make a pretty face using Face #7, which is the default face setting.  I think the runner-up is Face #1.  All of my Shepards use Face 7 because I'm just not that talented with the character creator (and none of my Sheps are too special, I guess), but a lot of the lovely Sheps around here use other faces so it's certainly possible to make a pretty Shep using other ones.

But Conrad is a lovable idiot!  I thought you were a hero! lol.

I don't blame the devs completely.  It's a larger problem than that, and you nailed it in regards to public rooms there's not really much they can do.  Unfortunately it seems like a self perpetuating problem, woman don't play these games because they aren't inclusive/aren't marketed towards them, so like with femshep, they will continue to market their games to the same audience resulting in fewer woman playing them because they aren't marketed towards them...if you see where I'm going with this.
The only solution I can think of is like you said, sticking with people you know, if possible.  Haha, I would want to do mass effect multiplayer with the femshep thread.  But you guys are too nice, no one would want to shoot each other
It's something that I would hope will change over time, like anything else.  As more woman get into gaming and more viable characters like femshep are created, maybe the landscape will change.
Idiots are forever though, regardless of gender.

I use 7 the majority of the time followed by 1.  7 is easier to make "pretty" but 1 can result in a more realistic shape.

But you can do things with the character creator that some would deem impossible.  Noah is proof of that much.  :happy:

I thought the default face (the Jane Shepard face) was face 1 o.O

I'm pretty sure default face is 7.  I wouldn't quote me on it though.
