FemShep CGI trailer

Shame Kaidan wasnt done but.

Cool nonetheless

This just makes me covet Ashley's fabulous hair cape even more.

And yeah, I understand that it was cheaper to only replace one character in that trailer, and FemShep fans are lucky to get it at all, but I would have been interested to see how Kaidan would look in a CGI trailer.  Ah well.  Baby steps.

In NZ the 6th is already here....I cannot believe I have to wait until Friday!! So jealous of our US Kaidanites...

I thought I had to wait til friday too, being Aussie... but my origin downloads is telling me it unlocks on the 7th.
I'm not going to complain... but I need more time heh

I havent even finished my replay of my paragon kaidan girl (She has always been Aidyn Shepard - spacer war hero). She is more of a paragade this time... now I have filled her paragon bar.. Im kinda taking the renegade options for choices I really would love to go renegade myself

I am SO nowhere near finishing...  no sleep for me for the next day or so.

(and ... Horizon still makes me I hated watching it this morning)

Please excuse any typos Im on my 3rd day of staying up almost all night to get this game done lol.

Just a pity it's the last game... Imagine what we could do in 15 years...

I hope Kaidan looks like this in CGI

@Anacruisis, well, we will never know.

Okay, as you noticed by now, this section of the forums is now open to participate only for the game owners, as described in this announcement. Not sure if this is a bug or is it intended, but all sections in the ME3, apart from General Discussion, are seem to be cut off from non-owners.

Therefore I just want to remind you that there are still threads in other sections, such as our good old KAST and it's sister group KAAS. Mind you, let's not be spoilery in the thread.

Just that, without more of my useless babble.

I pre-ordered and downloaded ME3 from Origin. I know it makes no sense, but just having Mass Effect 3 on my hard drive makes me feel better, even if I can't play yet

I registered my game and now it feels that much more real. Any word on when the release date check will allow us to play? Midnight tonight, hopefully?

Blarg! Ok, I have done all the math, I have opened up ME2 and recreated all my ME1 Shep faces to generate face codes ... now, all I need to do is open the demo and type in their codes to see how bad my poor girls get butchered by it.

At least this is helping to pass the time until 11pm tonight ... Kaidan is coming and all my ladies must look their best.

Mine calculates off the East Coast servers, so my game goes live at 11pm tonight. I knwo there are folks who are doing crazy internet magic stuff and playing already with their digital downloads though.

I figure with a toddler in the house, there was no reason to try doing that. He'll be asleep and I'll be up all alone with my computer ... and Kaidan at 11 pm tonight.

Here's a good way to figure when it unlocks for you:  
http://help.ea.com/a...elease-schedule

It's so funny, I had an Amazon preorder of a physical copy on the way, but I noticed that it was scheduled to arrive on Friday.  That's when I decided to cancel it and just get the digital version from Origin.  So I'm one of those "PREORDER CANCELED" people, but out of impatience.  I'm glad I did now, so I can post on the forums.

I spoiled myself as much as I could, and I'm still really looking forward to this game.  I have some criticisms, like most folks, and things I REALLY don't like, but overall, I'm still looking forward to midnight.

Only on game launch nights do I run home to take a nap.

Playing around with the face creation in the demo,  and testing out my ME2 face codes, I find several things remain consistently true. (for Femshep creation, that is)

Features are more compact. If you made a Shepard with compact features in ME1 or ME2, the face will look like it collapsed from the inside-out.

Noses are shorter.

Chins and Jaws are smaller

If you made a Shep with a strong jawline it might turn out looking okay in ME3. But if you made a delicate jawline, it'll look a bit off when connected to the neck when Shepard lifts her head.

If you made a Shep with black eyebrows (Or dark brown?) it comes out as dark grey in the demo, and you have to switch it back to black or brown.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks for the link, Syllogi!

Hmmm, I'm not sure.

Of the three ME1 faces I'm trying to convert.

Ailian had a square face with a fairly long, blade straight nose and high eyebrows. She wore her hair back in an untidy bun and it was dirty blonde.

In the Demo, the overall bone structure seems to more or less be the same, but the features might be a bit more compact on it. I also noticed that the hair colors did not translate. The Demo gave her auburn hair and bright blonde eyebrows. I'm guessing because they added a new shade of blonde. The one I gave her was too yellow, so I'm going to have to go a shade darker and see if it comes closer. I also noticed that if you pick a hair up option from the Demo, you grow strange hair bumps - we can all be just like Kaidan now!

Kelly I wasn't pleased at all with. It seemed like her lower cheeks/jowls got a whole lot puffier that I remember them being. I'm not sure if this is because of the stylistic way that ME3 does things or if it's because of the way the new editor distorts the features. Regardless, I'm going to have to tweak things because she looked way too young as a result. Her other features were pretty good though.

Jade came out looking like a BABE! If she comes out like that in the final game ... wowza! She still has her strong, high cheekbones and strong chin, but the way the ME3 editor does things, they mesh a let better and make her really pretty. I actually want to figure out how to take pictures of her to post now. (None of my femSheps were made with the idea that they were supposed to be really pretty. I wanted them to be passable and look like believable soldier types. That makes Jade a real bonus.)

Zaira is ugly, but I know that. She's getting a total edit job no matter what.

I had the most fun making faces in the demo. And you're totally right. In ME3 features meld more naturally than in ME1-ME2. In fact, I think custom made sheps look more realistic than the new default Femshep. The eyes seem more expressive than default femshep, too. Greater range of motion, less static looking. I don't think Default Femshep's lower eyelids move that much compared to cc, for one.

My femsheps tend to have strong amazon jaws. Maybe my childhood love of comicbooks comes into play. And I miss the scars you could choose from in ME1. I guess it makes sense not to have them. It would be an extra layer of creepy if the Lazarus project gave her scars to match the ones in ME1 just so she'd feel at home in her new body.

That's how I retcon it anyway. I miss the bald patch in her right eyebrow.

Edit: I notice Cheekbones and cheeks are smaller in Mass Effect 3. I imported a femshep ME2 code and I thought her cheekbones were substantial but in ME3 they looked flat and even concave in some angles. I made a new femshep with the altered ME3 facecode with the new cheek/cheekbone setting and used Gibbed to replace my canon shep with the ME3 face. In Mass Effect 2 the cheekbones look a little too large and cartoonish, but not in a freakish way.

Because cheeks, jaws and noses seem to have shrunk in ME3 overall, I notice that eyes appear to be set wider-apart. Whether its an illusion because everything else is smaller or they really are positioned differently is unclear to me.

In the demo my shep seemed to have a penchant for squinting. At EVERYTHING! and she had the larger eyeshape in Me1 and 2.

Commander, have a good day!
*squints* you too

I'm seriously waiting for her to stat shivering timbers and ordering the decks swabbed and yelling ARRRRRR!!!

I took it as her way of expressing her extreme displeasure at everything without actually voicing said displeasure.

We know she is displeased because she squints.

Ha! This reminds me of a cat.

"Hello, pretty kitty!"
kitty: (squinting, seething in silence) DIE !

If the internet has taught me anything its that we US owners will just have the opportunity to start complaining sooner

[AiLeO]

I was an impatient one. I had early classes today, so I fired up a proxy and unlocked my game 12 hours early.

I too spoiled myself, so I figured I would use my default Sheploo first, to test the waters.  There is plenty of... tension with Kaidan so far.  I won't spoil the game for you guys, but I do think my fellow Kaidanites will love playing. Enjoy the game when you guys get it!

[Anacruisis]

4 more hours
I think I will make new shepard first
then finish my me2 playthrough

You can't just say things like that!
How is this possible? Does this bork the game in any way? Can you still import? So many questions!
