I'm not talking about the facial customization features even though those honestly could use a little work to.  My problem is that Shepard, supposedly a a graduate of the alliance military who recevied the highest honors doesn't look too physically fit.  She's not overweight but she has kind of a squat, sedentary lifestyle look to her, like she's going to be a porker down the road by the time she hits her early middle age hood.
I can't help but think Jacob is thinking "man, I can't believe I went from Miranda to this."

Prepare to be flamed nonstop from the FemShep fans. She does seem rather short, or maybe it's just me.

Give her bigger boobs that would solve everything. Right? I wouldnt know as I never play as a Femshep because Iam a guy and I like to think that I AM Shepard. My Shepard acts as I would.

Huh, I see the exact opposite problem: FemShep seems awfully slight for a special forces operative who is able to regularly punch things to death. Sure, maybe she's got some cyber-augmentations by ME2, but her figure is relatively unmuscular compared to what I'd expect. Not that she needs to have the same mass as MaleShep (who is beefed up to what I'd call reasonable), but she should look like someone who's been through some of the hardest training in the galaxy.

And I think we all know what Jacob's really thinking, but I'm not going to say it. ;)

Soooo, you're saying that Shepard's going to resemble the very gamers that play as her?

Oo, better run....

I agree, I think that having female Shepard be just as intimidating as male Shepard just doesn't make any sense.  They really should replace her renegade dialogue.
I'm thinking she could be kind of like a femme fatale who uses her charm to divulge information from her enemies.

How fit would you look after lying on an operating table for two years? Frankly, she looks pretty damn good for being previously dead.

(Not AdmiralCheez's Shepard, though. Lazarus fail.)

Maybe a bit, sure, but even in the Little Black Dress, she looks like she can kick my ass.

I actually like it that she's not too buff or too pretty or anything.  She looks normal, and that's why she's awesome. Seriously, do you know how hard it is to find a normally-proportioned female protagonist in a videogame these days?

@Talon_Wu: Oh yeah, I just spam that whenever someone b*tches about FemShep not fitting their sexual tastes.

This is the future though and in the future every woman looks good. It's kind of like in the movie Starship Troopers where almost every woman you see, including all of the extras look like models.

Ugh, seriously, Celeryroot, can't you just ****** to Miranda instead? Or better yet, play Bayonetta.

Other than a little more meat on her arms (just a little) I think she's among the most realistically proportioned female characters in video games.  She's still feminine in all the right ways (both physically and personality thanks to Jen Hale voice acting)  and just because her lack of a D-cup bust will never save her from bumping her nose as so many other video game female characters have doesn't take away from femshep in the slightest IMO.

What does that mean? I thought you were complaining about what Shepard looks like, or did you mean to say that "in the future every woman should look good"?

And the reason that everyone in Starship Troopers looks like a model is because it's a movie, and in movies everyone looks like a model. This is a game, which means we often get similarly attractive people like Miranda who are meticulously constructed to appeal to the assumed-to-be predominantly male fanbase.

Don't say that, they'll hear you.

Judging by Celeryroot's posts, he wants Shepard to be a size 0 with DDs, not aggressive, and to solve problems by simpering and exuding sexual promise.

Yes, I'm sure that describes exactly what an elite special-ops soldier of the future would be like.

This is right up there with the people that think Fem Shep sounds "too butch." Gah.

Well I consider being physically fit and looking good to be synonymous. Considering her military rank she should be in tip top shape but I find that her hips are rather wide and she has somewhat fat thighs.

She doesn't look like she's in terrible shape either but it doesn't exactly look like she works out. Maybe the Normandy needs a gym.

That might make her a damn good paragon. You wouldn't have to kill anyone.

Most of the forum frightens me in other ways. But "this has weight."

Army fatigues make everyone's thighs look big.  Change her outfit and you'll feel better.

Do a paragon run.  You'd be surprised how many people you punch in the face.

Femshep should stay in the kitchen. Because that is where every woman belongs.



In the kitchen birthing turian babies.

Honestly, female shepards have always overall looked better than male shepards. Female Shepards just have the worse hairstyle choices
