Does anyone else feel a bit punished for not using the Sheploo face?

I admit that I have never tried to custom. Simply because of that waxy fake feel they have. Me and all my friends that play just simply use Sheploo. Some of my buds have a custom, but they don'r really play it.

I think it's funny how Sheploo will look way weird in some places (Raper face! XD) But the customs look 3x as worse. *imo* and make me fear for whoever I am talking to.

No matter how hard anyone tries, no one will ever be able to make a face as quality as Sheploos with the current CC. Playing as Sheploo then making a custom faces feels like a step back, thus my canon is sheploo.

Hopefully BioWare sees all of this.

Also, the custom faces in ME1 looked a hundred times better than they did in ME2. I know they changed the engine and all, but...really?

I don't have any regrets about any of my custom Shepards. My first and best Shepard was created through the inspirations of my own real life facial structure and overall looks, and the result was successful. Except I don't have a beard in real life currently. Take some time to make a really handsome/beautiful Shepard if you so desire. Creativity is bliss.

EDIT: I personally feel that custom Shep is > Sheploo because the Shepard that you make is a personification of what you imagined him/her to be.

I'm totally ok though with just Sheploo. Don't think of it as a bad thing that I can't customize because I don't like the options. Sheploo always works for me. I wouldn't be able to play without Sheploo now that he was my first Shepard.

I'm just not able to create any kind of decent looking custom manshep that I want at all. The last time I tried to create a manshep modeled after myself it ended up having as much resemblance to me as my femshep did, which is to say none at all. Default Sheploo it is for me!

Femsheps on the other hand I can easily create by just doing superficial changes (colors,hair style,etc).

What's weird is that I have the exact opposite problem in Dragon Age where I can create a good looking male character but not a female one.

Nope. Never used Sheploo and never will. Half my fun comes from making characters and seeing them "act."

Face textures are what custom Sheps are most in need of, imo.

This would at least make the custom MaleSheps look realistic, and not made of plastic and/or wax.

Try to get better. It took me 30 minutes to make a good-looking Shep. Fem-Sheps are easier since they have decent looking presets.

That's cute:) I was curious how long it was going to be before someone made the "hurr durr get bettar" comment. By the way, that site went down quite a while ago.


Don't you think you're being a little oversensitive here? Note I typed "Try to get better", not just "get better" and leave. It's not easy to make a custom male shep, but it's not impossible, which is why I posted a link (that I thought worked) with examples you could take and make your own.

What should you say to someone who's struggling to do something?  

Give up or try to encourage them?

I guess I failed to encourage you though.

Sorry if I offended, just trying to help. :crying:

I've seen some pretty damn good custom male sheps, including my own. I'll post it if I can remember to look for my face code.

My main is Sheploo. Always reminded me, sort of, of John Crichton (Ben Browder)
from Farscape, who I kind of envisioned my Shep from so I couldn't get
it much better anyways.

Just never got custom right in ME1, I hated the base it started from, I always wished could adapt from Sheploo as a starting point. But anyways got used to good ole Sheploo and didn't want to change it for ME2. I've used customs in ME2 they can look good, but they never seem "right" to me. I actually like Sheploo.

But it is fun to see creations instead, but at this point, doesn't feel like "Shepard" to me, as I'm sure Sheploo feels an imposter to others who are happy with their custom.

The site is not down. I'm browsing it right now.

Doesnt bother me one bit. I made the PERFECT Maleshep in ME2 and he looks perfect. Well, except for his hair being brown instead of red, but that was my fault.

If I made custom shep to look like me, he'd be one ugly s.o.b.

So, I based mine around some of my old Punisher comics for ME1. But for ME2 I just ganked a face code off the ME2 face generator site that appealed to me since the imported face from ME1 looked like ****. ^_^

OP sounds like he got one extremely ugly Shepard... :lol:

But in all seriousness, I agree that textures and customization options could be expanded. However, I actually really love my custom Shepards so it's not THAT bad where good customization is impossible or simple-looking.

Nah I love my Custom Shep he may not be the best looking guy in the world but the man's a career soldier not an actor/model.

Punished? No. All my Shepards, male and female, are custom Shepards. I tried Sheploo but he just isn't my Shepard.

Having said that, you need patience with the character creator. The difference between a "reasonably OK" Shepard and a great-looking one can mean the difference between spending 30 minutes with character creation and spending several hours with several retries to see how he looks in-game. Also many people are unaware of how subtle changes make faces look very different and tend to go all-out with the sliders.

Maleshep is disadvantaged though. The lack of decent hair and nose options is jarring. Or is it just that men's noses always look ugly and we only notice it in cases like this?

No, but it's certainly to not be made of wax and plastic either. Don't get me wrong, I live my custom Shep face, but I look at mine..then at Sheploo....

No Commander Shepard will never be better than Default Shepard. He feels right.

I always saw Sheploo as the glorified "Hollywood" version of Commander Shepard... while the custom Shepard is what he really looked like.

Psh my custom Shepard is far sexy than Sheploo.

I'm not being punished. Though custom Shep needs some more hair and eye options. For serious. It's pathetic how few options we get.

i use sheploo, mostly because my first playthrough i just wanted to play the damn game and not mess with a face creator for half an hour, now i associate shepards voice with sheploo, so playing as a custom shepard sorta breaks immersion slightly.

though i find it kinda disgusting peoples elitism against sheploo rofl

internet people are so wacky

I don't feel punished at all. I'm quite happy with my Shepard. Even if it did take forever to get him just right.
