Didnt Casey say they would be spending more time on Shepard's background? I hope so anyway.


This is one of those things that bugged me in ME2, especially the email. it was so empty and bland. ME had the right idea by adding a couple of small quests based on your background. I was sad to see it was completely stripped away in ME2.

I missed Alpha Protocol's idea of replying to or forwarding mails in ME2.

If you're a Spacer, and romancing anyone, this should happen:

Scene: The final massing of the combined fleet before the final battle. Shepard has already met with the leaders of the allied fleets and now stands in the CIC with most of the squad, waiting for the Admiral Hackett to arrive. The elevator doors open, and in strides Hannah Shepard, wearing admiral's stars.

Shepard: ...mom? Um... er, where's Admiral Hackett?

Hannah: Steven took his dreadnought back one relay to pick up stragglers. Some Quarian ships got stranded when their engines failed. I'm here to discuss battle plans in his place.

Shepard: Okay... well, the plan is-

Hannah: -speaking of discussions, you and I are going to have a long one after this is over. First, it takes over a year for you to talk with me, after returning from the dead I might add, and on top of it all, I have to find out through secondhand sources that you're finally dating someone! Do you know how long I've been waiting for grandchildren?

*Shepard and his/her respective love interest blush furiously.*

This would be so amazing, I'd love something like this.  :lol:

I thought it only talked about her if you were a Spacer.

Apparently they are going to do something for each background like they did in the first one.  

For Spacer you see mom (maybe)

For earth and colonist something else, Maybe Talitha makes an appearence if your colonist and you meet some of your gane if your earth born.  

I like the idea.  They were a nice touch in ME1.

There's just one thing I have about the custom character thing. I have seen a few Shep vids and most of them have not matched the voice of Mark Meer (or Jennifer Hale). So if the mother where to go along the lines of the what Shep looks like in the generator..........
lets just say that you would get one weird family. XD

I'd rather not see Shepard's mom, as it wouldn't make sense because quite a few people use custom Shepard. How can Bioware deal with so many variables? They can't.

Fallout 3 managed it.

Really, guys?

"You always did take after your dad."

I don't think Shepard's mothers looks will really break immersion. If you can handle skin holding a seal with plastic against a vacuum (even forgetting the exposed skin and eyes), this one shouldn't break the game for you. I think your mother actually showing up after you bail out the galaxy again is more realistic than her sending an email, regardless of what she looks like.

But how would she look convincing when we have custom Shepard's available. It would have to be some radio call to make it more technically convincing. Maybe her crew's ship is amongst a fleet going in to attack Reaper's and they exchange worried Bye/Love You's.

Seriously, Asian Shep and Sheploo can't have the same Mom. And I doubt there is some auto creator that can make her look like she is really your mom

They very well can do that, look at Fallout 3 and DA2.

I know about those, but Fallout 3 is pretty set up and he doesn't change much (plus those characters aren't as detailed as my Sheploo so the details are harder to see on any characters) and DA2 has some presets benefits. ME can go a bit more all-out with customization and while I am sure they can get her to be basically okay, I included the word "really" look like our mom because I just don't think she will look that good to see if she is generated off an automated customizer without BioWare's help and if BioWare premakes her, than she just won't quite look like us.

I think to be safe I would rather hear her on a transmission.

That would be an interesting idea, but I'm not exactly sure it would be possible in terms of consistency unless Bioware implements a program that tailors Hannah's skin, hair, and facial features to Shepard's (seeing as how Commander Shepard is fully customizable). Although Fallout 3 proved this to be possible, I don't see Bioware using the extra effort for such a minor character. A minor character that is only present in 1/3 scenarios. Most likely, we'll get another sound bite or e-mail...
But who knows? They may surprise us!

A cameo appearance would be nice.

I agree. She needs a cameo.

[CannonO]

People forget that Bethesda designed that mechanic of character adjustment in Fallout 3 for a MAJOR character. It is a big thing to implement into your character system for a cameo or minor character.

[ReallyRue]

I still want Shepard's dad to get in on this parent/child interaction.

[HTTP 404]

here's a sad thought

Shepard's mom (spacer origin) dies in the defense of Earth.

[CannonO]

Did you ever think they didn't show her because they never plan to?

It'd be nice, since Shepard made it so she never became the admiral she deserved to be.

How was it Shepard's fault? Hannah actively rejected getting a promotion.

[gunswordfist]

She's either going to be stuck in a space suit, unless she's a foster parent and Bioware doesn't have to try and make her look like you or she's going to die before you meet her.

Actually, programming this in wouldn't be all that difficult. The engine already supports custom faces. Most NPCs' faces (ones that are built using the custom face creator) are comprised of data sets that tell the game how the engine should render their faces (each variable for the nose, nose height, nose width, etc. influences those data sets). It could be as simple as creating a file for Shep's mom simply by importing certain values from your Shepard's face.
If your Shepard had Nose = 3, Nose Height = 12 and Nose Width = 16, the game would import those values to the file containing Hannah Shepard's model data at the start of the game. When the game tries to look for the file containing Hannah's model data, there could just be an exception written in to make the game look for it inside your save file.

Something along those lines, anyway... this is my idea of how ME's face generator works.

[seirhart]

It isn't Shepard's fault that Hannah refused to become an admiral, she refused to become an admiral to continue being a captain and she also said that making her an admiral was just a ploy.

I for one want to see shepard's mother.

[knightnblu]

I hate to break it to you, but mom is probably a floating corpscicle somewhere in the Sol system. As a spacer myself, it is kind of disappointing, but it does get BioWare out from under having to figure out a way to show her off. Expect bad news regarding the Orizaba and it's Captain.

According to this the Orizaba is the flagship of the Fifth Fleet under Admiral Hackett:

http://masseffect.wi...i/Alliance_Navy

If the Orizaba is still located at the Arcturus Station then she will most likely survive the initial Reaper onslaught. My guess is that once Admiral Hackett knows about that invasion on Earth then he will start marshalling his units and a dreadnought like the Orizaba is a very very valuable asset to have. My guess is that the Orizaba will participate fighting against the Reapers on the final battle on Earth. What happens to the Orizaba in there is unknown and that could be similar situation like Shepard had with the Destiny Ascension in Mass Effect 1. So ultimately Shepard may decide the fate of his/her mother and the coolest Alliance Admiral.

[Hekynn]

Now that would be awesome seeing Sheps mom in action and kicking the reapers minions butts big time.

[azerSheppard]

Boring.....

How about Shepard get's to shoot her and feed the corpse to some cannibals just because you mentioned her?

I don't need any of this crap, and neither the 95% of the "idea's" on this forum. For ****s sake she is so old she could barely fart loud enough to be heard.
