I was thrown the most off by the comparison to Adrianna Lima.

NOTHING CLOSE.

If she DID look like Adrianna Lima, albeit a more battle ready one, I might've actually picked her. lol

Yeah, I don't see that at all.

To me she looks a lot like this particular image of Aishwarya Rai, but with Holly Conrad's hair.

A. I love Aishwarya Rai(not really, but you get what I mean from a movie stand point), so you get points for putting a picture of her on here
B. But I don't see Aish in her AT ALL. Like, at all.

Sir?... are you blind? She has the same nose, eyes, chin, ears, facial structure. The hair changes all.

Only similarity I see(barring skin color as its an art to real life transition) is jawline and lips.

Everything else is different.

I agree, it's a pretty uncanny resemblance IMO.

Yeah, I'd tap that^

Also, a few questions I hope the Bioware people can answer. Will we still get the codes for the femsheps that arent' chosen as default? Will those hairstyles also be available? Actually, we need winning femshep code too so we can figure out slider positions for ME1. Please give us these!!!

The hair color is off on LPPrince's Shepard 7. It's too red. Looks fake, like she dyed her hair with manic panic or something.

Well, unless it's supposed to look like an unnatural color. In which case it worked, I suppose.

I truly believe she was picked because of her hair style, and not the color.  Of the five options available to vote for, her hair was the only style you would actually expect a woman to wear in reality, mayb a little messed up, but an actual hair style, and that has appeal.  Anyone who had a hair style from the other four choices would be  getting a lot of looks for her odd appearance, and that is probably why she chose it in the first place.

I can agree with 4 and 6 from a military standpoint, but the other 3 are rather normal.

Still, it fits the FemShep image. But it would be nice if after she wins we can pick between several hair colors.

Blonde,
Strawberry Blonde,
Black,
Red,
Auburn,
Brown

I have only seen one person in my life outside of celebreties with hair that short, it would and does draw attention.  I was in the military, most of the females kept their hair shoulder length or longer, many to the middle of the back, their hair had to be collar length or shorter to be kept loose when on duty, any longer and it had to be tied up, but there where no rules for off duty length for females, and I certainly never saw a female with a buzz cut.  Not that any military argument really applies to femShep, she hasnt been a member of the military since half way through ME1.

Well, its not mine. Someone else edited it, I just saw it and posted it on page 16. Been posting it ever since.

It could use editing to look like a real Strawberry Blonde, but the concept is there.

Yeah, but who knows if the effect of Alliance regs are ingrained into her mind or if she can just shrug em off.

I guess thats up to roleplaying.

I'd pay good money to see any female soldier that was willing to go into a gunfight with hair in her eyes.  Sexy?  Absolutely.  Blocking the gun sight?  Definitely.

So, how goes the voting on Jane Shepards 19 year old niece?

Good thing her hair isn't in her eyes, then.

Can't say the same for #4 though.

10 dollars to someone who can actually make up something clever to insult #5 with....so far nobody has claimed the prize.

Has anyone made up any clever insults for any of them? "Hipster hair lol" isn't clever, before anyone goes there.

I called #5 "Soccer Mom Shepard." *Shrug*

But yeah, I'm rather pissed off about this whole thing. Bioware may have meant well by opening up this choice to a democratic process, but they opened this choice up to a playerbase that they measured to be "overwhelmingly male default Shepard, playing Soldier, skipping dialogue." Yeah, the most marketable choice may have been proven, but we already knew what the most marketable choice was. Now we're faced with the possibility of having a rather bland individual being the face of the female side of the franchise.

It made me sick to see most people voting based on "hotness" rather than how well the image fit the character, but you know, it wasn't surprising. Average white male gamer, they're going to go for the bombshell. Hell, not even white—just male gamer. They all seemed equally entranced by blondie. Me, I personally threw my lot in for #1. She looked like the most soldierly of the bunch, along with #6 (who actually looks a lot more like a pulp sci-fi heroine than the rest of them). Her design didn't appeal to me much at first, but then I looked at the others and felt that #1 grew on me; especially after seeing #4 (who would have been fine, if not for the utterly ridiculous hairstyle) and #5.

I will acknowledge that many people didn't even choose #5 for the color of her hair. They chose her for the style of her hair. This is reflected in the fact that many people are like, "this one but in red/brunette/black plz!" No. Voting doesn't work that way people. Thanks for inflating the ballot for the lowest common denominator of a choice. On top of that, did you know that this hairstyle is ALREADY IN THE DAMN GAME?

Those going "hurr hurr deal with it!" ought to stuff their fingers under their seat. I and others disgruntled with this turnout, predictable as it was, reserve the right to be vocal about it. It's easy to be smug when you're in the majority, but I opine that it is not a majority you should be proud of. For a game series that has prided itself on being egalitarian and progressive in the gaming market, Mass Effect sure has fallen a long way to pandering with this latest move.

THIS is the Jane Shepard that ought to be the female face of the series. The others should have been limited to being presets at character creation.

Argh.

#4 though is just begging to ****** off her superiors however.

As a Spectre that's not an issue, but a competent Spectre would know not to walk around looking like that unless you're on assignment as an undercover agent that has to look the part of a civilian.

As for the first point.... good. I play renegade and don't want to take orders from anyone. lol

As for the second point... um... just b/c you or whoever may think that hairstyle looks bad or tacky or what have you... doesn't mean everyone does and besides it would be up to the individual Shepard. They can look however they want. And saying, "would know not to walk around looking like that" implies that anyone who wears their hair like that is unpresentable or something.

While I found your rant to be uncalled for, I will agree that the artwork of femShep you linked would have been the best choice, to bad that absolutely none of the options we wher given to vote on came anywhere near looking like that, if one did maybe things would have been different.  But that just goes to show how people who can agree on something can place different priorities on what they like about it, while you found #1 the closet to your liking, I think of the choices we where given #5 was the closest, after all, change the hair color to match and the differences are minimal.

[Davie McG]

Was it ever explained why they decided to redesign the default femshep in the first place?

Not that I'm complaining, the new defaults (which ever one they go for) are a mile better.

Did they feel the need to make male Shep ten years younger and  20 lbs lighter?
Typical "we are not sexist but here is something sexist anyway" Bioware behaviour.

Jane Shepard from ME2 is already the iconic Femshep.

Facebook poll creators and the sheep that follow them can go eat a Batarian poo and expire.

*snip snip of the pee pee*(yet again, not really)

You DO know that the ME1/ME2 iconic FemShep preset is STILL in ME3, right?

This is just for marketing, the back of the CE, and for a high res preset in the final game.

[crimzontearz]

wow....this thread is still going??

Also....a question to those complaining...

are you "really" this surprised about this move after having had to suffer through Silverman's marketing before? If he thinks "push a button and something awesome happens" is a good way to market a game like DA then I am not surprised he thought this was a good idea to come up with a default Femshep.

They aren't redesigning them. The original default is....I covered this in my post before this one. lol

[lobi]

Yet the ME2 default is considered by someone at Bioware not "Teen" enough. The game isn't even out yet and I am already starting to feel some trepidation as to the quality of the ip due to the politics of it's developer.

...they're  just letting us pick a FemShep for marketing, a cover, and another in game option.

Making an assumption like the original preset isn't "teen" enough is jumping the gun, wouldn't you say?
