Is it wrong of me to say that I'd not want a FemShep Litho (unless her helmet's on?). Any Litho would not be my Shepards.

Default shep isnt the best its true, but its still femshep, still worth making noise about no matter how likely we'll get to see more of her....



but yeah, helmet on is a good idea. Like in the walkthrough book for ME1...

[TheMarshal]

Hell, if they COULD do lithos of my Alice, then I'd definitely pay for that.

[JamieCOTC]

Sorry, but I had to laugh at this. 

"It's like even the game itself is trying to tell BioWare that it needs to see more of Kaidan."


"Heh, yeah. That's funny."

Meghan doesn't have a special hate for batarians, she's a little worried about turians, in ME1, being an Earthborn. (A certain C-Sec officer took care of that for her, though.) But she'd wrestle with that decision similarly. I've never DL'ed BDtS, but I think Meghan would have just as much a problem with letting that bastard go. Especially after paragonning Garrus at Saleon's confrontation.

Yeah, Rory's a colonist, so no special worry for Turians.  First Contact War was before her time, so she's neutral about the race as a whole, and willing to take people on their individual merits - and between Garrus, who she really likes, and the Turian councilor, who she pretty much despises as much as she despises Udina, her opinion hasn't changed.  Really, she has no problems with aliens who aren't killing innocent people, except Batarians, who are her big blind spot.  They're all slaver terrorists to her.  She's into cultural understanding as long as it's harmless.  Having a "cultural imperative" to enslave other sentient beings is not harmless.

  I think it has quite a bit of impact on the game experience if you have a story/background for your character.  I even appraoch fights differently depending on if I am Paragon or Renegade, or playing 'Tony the Tiger'.  Sometimes you're the good Shep, sometimes more of the kicking butt and taking names type of Shep.  How about when the crap hits the fan?  Will you let your love interest die?  (Not in the game permanently, but even in the middle of a heavy firefight?)  Who do you send 'up the chain' to sacrafice to *THAT* Vorcha Pyro?  Do you stand for whats right, or are you just there to stop the collectors, darn near becoming one in the sacrafices and upgrades you have made?  Could you really let Kal'Reegar die being the fine Quarian that he is?  Is it so wrong to let Miranda see her sister for just a few moments?
  There are so many chances to put your own little twist in the game that its very hard to think of them all.  So, I set a 'base' for my character, with some pretty well set guidelines.  I like to see how each character I make (or dream up) responds to each situation in the game.  Maybe I'm just too imaginative - I dunno, but it sure does make the game more fun to me.

Yes, exactly - between Fraps and really thinking about Rory's background, it's like getting a whole new game

For combat, I play to class.  I think of the game-mechanics character-class as being a sort of combat A-School Shepard was sent to.  When Rory enlisted, she had very high tech aptitude scores on whatever the futuristic ASVAB is, and she wanted to go Infiltrator.  The medical exam found she had biotic potential, though (her parents were Alliance military before they settled on Mindoir, and her mother was an engineer and got some eezo exposure), so they slapped in L3 in her and sent her to Sentinel training.  Could've been Vanguard just as easily - I flipped a coin, actually ...

As a Sentinel, her job is to be a target and take fire with her really awesome shields, which is why she wears bright gold armor.  It's nice and conspicuous.

If anyone's charging a vorcha pyro, it'll be her, though she prefers warp-bombing them to death.  Oddly, she probably would've ended up more Paragon if she were a Vanguard.  All of that charging in and shooting people in the face would likely serve as stress relief and help her chill out a little.  I'm very tempted to do Infiltrator-Rory and Vanguard-Rory for my next two playthroughs.

Best bug ever.

[Mr.Vakarian]

Wow, thanks everybody!      I'm glad you all like 'em

These "Noir" pieces are quite a bit of fun to make. I still have a few left on the docket to do yet and, of course, I'm still open to requests. 

[ADLegend21]

finally got back to playing Me2 on the PC and I've got new Kallen pics!!!!!!!K-bomb in coming, hit the dirt!





"Damn I look good"





Hale and Meer having a nice little Chat on Omega (still can't believe he does the Vorcha voices)





Kelly: Hey commander-whoa, did you get a HAir cut, it looks nice!

Kallen: Thank you Kelly. Think Miranda will like it?





K:Shhh! don't tell Miranda

M: I'm right here....





I love this shot of her.

Well, I figure after the First Contact War, there'd be a lot anti-turian propaganda and attitudes on Earth.  And being earthborn, Meghan got exposed to that.  She's over most of it by the time ME1 comes around, though.

Mark Meer is actually an incredible voice actor.  In addition to the vorcha, he does many volus voices (including the unforgettable Biotic God), several turians, the Dracon Trade Center PA as well as various other computer and news announcements throughout the game, the quarians Prazza and the captain of Tali's ship with their heavy Slavic accents, the window-push merc in Dantius Towers is Mark Meer... his voice is all over the Mass Effect titles, and many times you can't even tell it's him.  It's just the lead role of Shepard where his acting falls short.  Given his skill, I blame the voice directors.

I still haven't figured out why they allow Hale's portrayal to be much more expressive and involving, unless there's a perception that a woman is supposed to be more emotionally demonstrative or something.

[Sialater]

I would assume that.

I can't bring myself to dislike Meer every since I saw this strange video.  I have no idea why I find it so funny, but I do.

It's from an improv video he did about the living bible, and it's really funny. It's not him per se it's mostly the way BioWare is using him, trying to play up this emotionless soldier archetype.

That's a shame, I've tried to play maleshep and I never make it past the first few minutes of ME1.

[mellifera]

Yeah, he's good. I always feel the need to specify that I quite like Meer's other work, I just don't like him as Shepard. Otherwise he's fine and seems to be a cool guy. I don't begrudge him anything as much as I want to smack the ones in charge of the direction.

Thank you for that; it made me do an awesome wiki walk to this.

[Shenzi]

If I just randomly saw that video I wouldn't have recognized it as Meer's voice.

[Shenzi]

But back onto the topic of Femshep.

It's awesome she can kick **** and sounds great while doing it.

My favorite thing about that are the comments:


"The next day, Robert Leckie is shot dead by an unknown gunman hidden somewhere in a building... "Betrayal repaid."



Literally EVERY SINGLE comment is a Garrus reference, and it cracks me up.  It's a good thing Brandon Keener seems to enjoy being Garrus so much, otherwise he'd probably be tearing his hair out over the fact that the only comments people seem to have about his performance are calibrations, reach, CALIBRATIONS!, and "Impressive!"





FemShep loves Garrus!

"What d'you mean 'I can't have a romance'?"

[Sialater]

Wow. She looks like Eva Green.

She does. I love Eva Green!Shepard.

 I must say, the male faces really do have it easier in terms of believable faces. It's like they just didn't try that hard with the custom female faces...

With faces where they really tried, like Miranda or Ashley, you can really see the human aspects of their face. A lot of femsheps end up looking like stereotypical librarians...

In the end I resorted to custom modding my femshep with Ashley's face, a custom hairstyle, and gray Illusive Man eyes. You can actually get the head morph file here if you like: http://www.masseffec...php?faceID=1515

As for pictures, here's a few so you see what I mean. Realistic, and even gorgeous femshep faces are totally possible, I just wish one didn't need to resort to modifying lines of code with Gibbed to do it...

Really? Because I've seen a lot of great and believable custom FemShep faces in this thread.
