I like having an option between the two. I personally don't like that swimsuit-dress or the body model, but I loved the Kasumi dress and I don't hate Femshep being lithe in theory. I'm a girly girl too, so I do get somewhat sadface when people seem to hate the idea of dresses even being an option. Shep should be able to express, at least aesthetically, whatever personality type you want.

I do, however, take a firm stance against buttcrack window. That's just ...I don't even know. I imagine Garrus would miss the point and be like, "Don't freak out but your underwear is defective11"


LMAO, I love that.  
And from a lingerie standpoint, I just don't understand the buttcrack panel.  Maybe Shep is very sweaty and needs something that breathes?  Ah hell, I don't think I'll ever get it. :P

@ciaweth: Yeah, I was speaking purely from the idea of some people wanting more feminine animations when Shep is wearing a dress. Not all the time.
And that there isn't anything wrong with people wanting options. They may not get them -- but nothing wrong with wanting them. In a game that calls itself an RPG there are a plethora of choices and preferences that shouldn't be shoved into boxes labeled 'right' and 'wrong'. I like my Shep awkward in a dress. Others want a 'girly girl' when she's off-the-job. Both - and the variances in between - are all valid and not 'canon' breaking.

Anyway, getting pretty off-topic here. So a question out of simple curiosity:
If presented with a situation where Shepard is given the choice between saving, I don't know, a transport full of soldiers and civilians... or saving Garrus... which do you honestly think you'd go with?
(and no one panic: I haven't the foggiest bloody clue if anything like this shows up in game. I'm just curious. :) )

I would prefer Femshep to be more ladylike OFF THE JOB but that's just me :P  I love the option of wearing a dress, but I really don't like the one for ME3 because it's kind of ugly and the necklace is blah.  I definitely like more feminine movements and walking animations BUT IT'S WHAT I LIKE because I don't like to roleplay any of my Bioware characters as tomboys.  I'm not a tomboy; I'm a girly girl and that's how I like to RP Femshep :lol:



The same here.  Samara has a beautiful walk, as have the other females, in or out of battle, and they're no less dangerous.  

I'm replaying ME1 at the moment; I don't even notice femsheps walk but her pot belly used to annoy me, now it makes me laugh because I know that they fix it.  :)

I would save Garrus... but i have a feeling he'd be pissed about it.

Is that the look that Femshep and Ashley had when they would stand still and their shoulders would sort of go forward...?  I think I know what you're talking about LOL!

@shygravel:  My Femshep would go for saving Garrus, no question, even though he would probably be mad at her for choosing him...

Maybe a little. :P  But it does stick out to where her breasts are, making her look like she ate too much at her last meal.  It messes with the image of my femsheps ramrod straight stance.


Edit: @SuranaMage yep, that's the one.

Good question. I never thought I would say SAVE GARRUS in a heartbeat, but that's my first reaction when I read it. :blink:

If a dilemma like that showed up in the game, I'm pretty sure my Shep would save Garrus even if he wanted her to save the civilians.

Edit: Now I'm curious. What would you do??

Oh good question.  Depends on which femshep I play.  The paragon would save the civvies and soldiers, the renegon would save Garrus.

 I think if presented with the same situation Garrus would save Shepard in a heartbeat <3  He wouldn't even give her a chance to say "save them dammit!" he would just react on instinct and choose her :wub:

Re: Kaidan & Garrus --> Yeah, still no contest for me. Garrus wins. Short of BW suddenly completely mangling Garrus in personality and mien I just don't see it being an issue. My Shep's going to feel bad if it hurts Kaidan, admittedly but that's about that. She still cares for him but to her it's a might-have-worked relationship... if death and cerberus and collectors and horizon and Garrus hadn't happened. Such is life.


Haha, I know how that goes; in my head cannon I figured that my Shep really did love Kaidan, or, at least, she was close to it by the time she died. But underneath that was the knowledge that I had (not her; she was totally oblivious) that she'd been in love with Garrus the entire time. It just took the right set of circumstances for her to realize it.

I'm sure my main character is hoping and praying that Kaidan isn't going to approach her about Garrus; she's not really one for drama. But good Goddess, I am! I want some Jerry Springer up in nyaa!

*cough*

@Blankeflos: You know, while there's definitely part of me that goes 'Save garrus!'? I think ultimately - if I was RPing the choice from the view of my Sheps - all of them would save the soldiers/civilians UNLESS saving Garrus was somehow also tied to something hugely important to the greater war. My main Shep - in a romance with him - would hesitate the longest over it. But I think they'd all think Garrus would hate them if his life was sparred at the expense of others, ya know?
It'd be a sad, sad moment for me, that's for damned sure.. but if I was really trying my best to RP it? Yeah, all my Sheps would probably save the others. I'd definitely also see my main Shep pulling a self-sacrifice type ending though if she did lose him.

@Surana: Garrus is really impulsive, yeah, so I think there may be some merit to what you said. :) Though my main Shep would... be really, really frickin' upset about it.

Save Garrus ;<

The way I look at it: Shep is trying to save everyone, and the least I think she wants is the person she loves to stay alive even if that means others must die. It's not her doing what is happening, it's the reapers and there are already people out there dying because she wasn't fast enough. If she can be quick enough to save him, I'm sure that's what she would do or atleast try to save both of them and risk hurting herself.

Hnng, this question is tough to figure out. 
If said situation would hypothetically take place in ME3, I think that while my Garrus-romancing Shepard would have gone for the transport in the past, the events of the previous installments and all the sh!t hitting the fan in ME3 and the stress and despair it most likely will cause, has made her too terrified of losing loved ones.

If said transport carried the key to victory and galactic survival, it might be an entirely different story. If not, then yes, she would definitely go for Garrus, with a huge amount of guilt to deal with afterwards.

On another note!

I think it's more Shep having a somewhat S-shaped spine when you look at her from the side. Or something.
Together with her slumping shoulders, I was a bit surprised seeing such a stance on a soldier. Haven't paid attention to her stance in ME3, and can't say it has been bothering me, but if it's been fixed, yay for the people who have been bothered by it.

It would take me a lot to leave my squaddies behind, Garrus most of all. Because the way I see it, I need that team to save more people. If I start letting my teamates die because I want to save more civilians, I will quickly be alone and pretty much serve nothing. I dont know how many civilians I would sacrifice to save my squad but I know that once a situation would feel out of control (i.e. 15 reapers surrounding us) I would have to leave the civilians behind, take my crew and push forward.

Wow, that's very noble and actually is what anyone would expect from a soldier. That's what my Shep would do if she had the same mentality and values she had in ME1. Given everything that happened during ME2 and in the beginning of ME3, my Shep (Colonist/War hero) would just think If I'm losing the people I love the most again, then this universe is not worth saving. Yep, I/she can be selfish at this point in ME3.

@Blankeflos: I definitely understand your reasoning. And hell, let's be honest: In a situation like that I might cave and totally just bloody well save Garrus. *laughs* And yell at my character "Your player demands you refrain from ruining this game for her! Stop being such a goddamned paragon!" ^^

Either way it's cool to see peoples honest responses and 'headcanon' reasoning! :)
