I agree with this thread. For femshep mostly. I understand we're badass space marines saving the galaxy but is there anything saying we can't look good doing it? lol

So.. it seems people don't really care about plot-related things but instead put huge emphasis on the clothes the characters wear, hairstyles and which characters are straight or gay.

Priorities right?

Aside from a few plot holes, the story of ME2 was well executed for a videogame, the customization was not, i don't see what the problem is?
Are you against people being more connected to the character they have created? having more options? or are you just unhappy because people enjoy this aspect of the game instead of focusing on what you want them to focus on?

Upset that people want to play dressup instead of caring about the story, the action, the dialogue, etc? Yes. Yes I am.

What makes you think people don't care about these elements? aren't they what make ME great? just because focus is on another aspect of the game in this thread that surely doesn't mean any of these elements are any less valid does it?
customization is important to me because it makes a game more emmersive, i care more about a character i myself have created, which make me care more about what happens to him and how the story progresses, which makes the story more valid for my experience. If you can't see that then that is your prerogative, i however am full within my right to enjoy this aspect of the game.

Some makeup is permitted in the military. Long hair, in the manner the topic suggests, isn't though.

Shepard's not in the military anymore. 

As for the military does the alliance forbid long hair? Ash's hair seems to be fine. (Though she like Shepard is a Spectre so it probably doesn't apply for either of them). 

She has her hair in a bun.  That is the preferred and/or mandated hairstyle for females in the military.

Follow this simple train of logic:
A. ME3 Ashley has long hair undone 
B. ME3 Ashley is now a spectre
C. (My) Shepard is a reinstated spectre

then...

Spectres do not have rules about this and I can make my hair however I wish. Point is I should be able to do it anyway without people quoting the modern military guidelines.

Ashley's hair is not in a bun (and neither is FemShep's in several styles). 

Also we have no idea how the mandates will change in the next few hundred years. 

Plus Shepard is a Spectre. I'm pretty sure the alliance can't tell him what to do about his hair anymore.

No hes a soldier. If your in military you have short hair its like that now and it will be in the future.

How do you know? Can you see into the future?... Not many people thought don't ask don't tell would be repealed but here we are. Have some vision and quit being so rigid because you're stuck in the past.

having one thread about hair does not = not caring about story.  I for one expect a great end to a great trilogy but why can't we have more options in how we look?  In what way is that hurting the story?

Wouldn't really make sense since he is a soldier but it would be nice to have the option.

oh i just finally saw the MALE part in the thread title... I honestly dont care I probably wouldn't use long hair on my male shep but I'm all for it for Femshep

Shepard's hair gets torn out because he got near machinery with it.

Or a krogan grabs his magnificient flowing hair and rips it out by the roots.

edit: Are you seriously comparing DADT to long hair? How the hell is that even supposed to compare?

No, learn to read. I said that nobody thought the regulation would be repealed and it was. Short hair could easily happen in 150 years time- simple as that.

...I don't think Shepard has to stay alliance. Especially not considering you can be all buddy buddy with Cerberus. ...That kind of puts  damper on the whole alliance soldier thing.

But he's on trial by the alliance so the alliance consider Shepard part of the alliance

He's on trial for mass terrorism. Still not sure if he can reinstate himself/leave the alliance yet. 

And still he doesn't have to listen to what they tell him to do with his hair.  If he doesn't listen to them about far more important things why would he listen about that? 

I mean really the military argument is silly.So Shep can tell them to kiss his ass on every other occassion but suddenly when it'stime to cut his hair he listens? Really?

Yes but he's in an alliance court as opposed to a civilian court so to everyone shepard is military. AS for long hair doesn't seem feasible as it would get in the way of the helmet seal when the armor doubles as a space suit.
Also what if short hair is in fashion and shepard wants to fit in?

For all those saying Shepard is no longer part of the Alliance:

Wrong.

He didn't resign his Commision the moment he was made a Spectre.

To use a real world example, during the Second World War there were American OSS (Office of Strategic Services) and British MI6 agents who parachuted into German occupied territories as spies and saboteurs, who also were members of the American or British armed forces. They didn't cease to be military personnel the moment they were recruited by their country's civilian intelligence services.  "Wild Bill" Donovan, the wartime head of the OSS during the Second World War, was a career Army officer who also retired as a Major General.

Shepard is a Council Spectre AND a Lt. Commander in the Alliance. One doesn't necessarily cancel out the other.

He is also still a Marine post-rescurrection, as confirmed by his interactions with Admiral Hackett in Arrival and by the fact that he'll be in command of an Alliance warship in ME3, just as he was in ME1. He also has retained the rank 'Commander' through all three games. So while a player can roleplay that their Shep has become disillusioned with the Alliance, they can't roleplay that he's no longer a part of it.

Nicolas Cage's character in Con-Air had long hair. I know Shep hasn't spent time like Cameron Poe, but...

here's a pic:
