Samus is Blonde, but I have trouble thinking of other major female characters.


Rosa in FF4. Celes in FF6. Ashe in FF12 has dirty blonde hair. A few from various fighting games: Sonya Blade, Nina Williams, Cammy. Alexandra in Eternal Darkness (voiced by Jennifer Hale, in fact).  The Boss and Eva in MGS3.  All I got at the moment, and most aren't main characters (or even playable characters).


Sonya in Ninja Gaiden 2, but that is just, ehh... "oversexualized" we could say. The doctor chick form Vanquish, Jill valentine is dyed blonde in RE5 (which was stupid IMO, she looks better with brown hair), and we could say Lighting from XXIII (I got the number right?Sorry not a very FF fan myself) is blonde although she's more like "whitie".

Oh and also the police from Silent Hill.

Again, not main characters....


To be fair, main characters who are girls are pretty darn hard to find to begin with. But you guys are missing the other big one besides Samus:

Aya Brea, from the Parasite Eve series.


I listed a bunch of non-blonde female main characters earlier in the thread. I'm not sure what the grand total would be, but things seem pretty balanced to me. If anything, I think blondes are more common in Japanese games than American games, but I could be way off.

Given that we can customise the face, why does anyone care what the defaul face is?

Yes, but a Dead or Alive character was not one of the choices (and that assumes that  characters from Dead or Alive are generally considered attractive...bleh. Sexualized, yes. Attractive... ). All the choices to a certain degree fit in Mass Effect, so in my opinion it was simply a matter of picking which Shepard you thought looked the best. Beauty is subjective so of course people disagree. 

I'm all for not sexualizing the game, but I don't think any of the choices gave me the impression that they were going for sex-appeal. That, and I'm pretty sure that wasn't the point you were arguing for.

Fair enough.

I thought it would be a Given that Blonde Haired FemShep would win since she was the only model with "Long Flowing hair", the one feature many FemShep players on this site have been demanding.

Is it really that big a deal? 80% of the players in ME2 made their own Shep anyway. All this vote was for is the promotional materials and default FemShep. I don't plan on having a default FemShep. Do you?


Apparently it is a big deal for many. :? But hey, this is BSN, after all... :whistle: I chose the minority vote (#6), but in the end I don't really care, as long as I get the option of changing the hair style on one or some of my many ME2 FemShep imports. :)

They just need to make all the hairstyles in the 6 poster available in game and there won't be an issue anymore.

Why do I have a feeling that this thread won't end well? Who knows...maybe BSN will surprise me.

Its a default face.

A default face most people will never play the game with.

The system voting was a clear victory to the winner.





Be thankful it wasn't an epic community event. *runs from thread*

This thread needs to close. You don't like it, customize your own femshep. The end. Don't like her on the cover? Don't buy special edition.<_<

I disagree with the OP. I voted for FemShep 5 because I thought she looked the toughest, most capable, and the best leader. I do not see her as a "Barbie" Shepard, and honestly I find some of the assumptions thrown around about blonde people during this whole vote quite offensive. (I am a brunette, for the record.)

EDIT:  For those commenting that the faces are all the same, a different shape or colour of hair can change the sense of proportion one gets of the face.  I can't fully explain why, but when I looked at the pictures it seemed to me as if all the other Shepards were squinting and frowning, trying to look badass.  Shepard Five just was badass.  Something about the proportions just clicked - they suited the expression so well. 

At the same time, I recognise that this is a personal thing.  One of my best friends said that his feelings about Four mirror mine about Five exactly, so I guess his sense of what proportions look best is a little different.  To me, Four looked like she'd just stepped out of the salon and seemed like she was the frowniest and least badass, but to him Five looked just as frowny-squinty as the others did to me.

Because everyone on BSN feels they are more right then others and should **** when they don't like something.

Meh, I'll stick with my own Shepard tyvm. I do hope that we get some of those hairstyles though. Especially the pixie cut.

This.

I honestly don't care one bit about default faces. Besides, I already have a Shep, I couldn't care less about those models.

I personally like #1's hairstyle as my "canon" Shepard has a shaved head, and she just might let it grow out a little if she can have that hairstyle!

Male characters look old and wrinkled while female characters look like fresh faced 18 year olds. Sorry but I think Bioware should keep that choice just make her look a little older..

Everyone who is surprised that the blonde Shepard won, please raise your hand.

Me? I don't really care. I'd like to see the others as available presets, but I always make my own Shepard.

I think allowing our fans to actually chose something like this and including it in teh game was a pretty cool decision by the Dev and Marketing teams. :)



And this is what I cant thank you enough for doing.  :)  A lot of us gave our suggestions to David via twitter, but it only picked up a small fragment of what people liked and its still very hard to gauge.


It was nice the fans had an influence on her looks.  I know not everyone is happy.  But then again not everyone would be happy if you created your own and said it was default. Everyone has an opinion.  Yet it was still nice to have the option to contribute to her look.  Even if my #2 is near the bottom!  They all still all look the part and its trivial in the end.


If you do read this post by any chance Chris can you tell me if all these femsheps were created by one designer or was it a group effort?

I'm dissapointed, but only because the shep I liked wasn't picked.

Aside from that though, wasn't the choosing of shep only for the upcoming trailer? I am hoping all of these sheps make it into the "default" sheps category. You know the one where you scroll through the premade faces in custom.

Um...  *raises hand slowly and hesitantly*  Honestly, the candidate I want to win any poll or election pretty much never wins, so I reckoned she was doomed because I liked her (if nothing else).

Nah.

Blondie(as I affectionately call #5, my pick) is going to be in a trailer, be on the back cover of the Collector's Edition tin case, and will be a high-res default model available in ME3, similar to VanderShep.

Basically, she'll be used in all FemShep marketing, but it goes beyond that as she'll be in game as well.

And again, just to remind anyone reading this-

JaneShep, the default from ME1 and ME2, will still be available as a choice in game.

What's BSN without people whining and ****ing when they don't get their way?
