Did it occurr to you that people voted for #5, not because she's blonde but they liked her better than the alternatives?? I saw more than a few people comment they did't like the short hairstyle of #1 - #3 had or the hair over half the face of #4 but they liked the hair style of #5 but they wished it was a diff't color.

BTW - I voted for #4 because I liked her beyond the hair style issue. Stop assuming everyone is stupid or braindead because they voted for and got #5 as the femshep for trailers.

I like how people are maoning their asses out that FemShep now looks like a barbie compleatly ignoring the fact that Sheploo is face modeled after a model. Obviously he should be face modeled after a vietnam war veterain or a randomly picked marine from Iraq. CHANGE IT BIOWARE BEACUASE I DEMAND IT!


It's funny to see how people are so butthurt. Even PCGamer posted a hilarious article against blonde Shepard a while ago:

Create your own. Problem solved.


Exactly.Quit your complaining.

My favourite was #6,but she didn't get picked.Am I bitter about a purely cosmetic decision? No,I'm not.
--Besides,my canon fem!Shep has that exact hairstyle and also happens to be blonde,so it's all good.

Don't cry now, you're the one that said she's a barbie and looks too much for a "barely legal" movie.

If you voted 4, it's ok.I never said anything wrong about her, I respect your opinion about #4.

Just don't come here and pretend me to be nice to you ****ing and whining about number 5.


Haha you think I'm crying about it?
Most likely I won't even see those faces anyway as I create my own, just think it is ironic that female gamers everywhere cry out for a strong independent woman and get a porcelain doll, because the majority who votes are males age 15-25.
I just can't see it as a victory for those who really care about Lady Shepard... It is more like a case of "sex sells".

But hey. that's just like my opinion anyway *inserts a picture of El Duderino*

They were asking the fans for input. Has anything good ever come from that?

Did you even bother reading further down the forum, or did you just read to the second post, and then decide to jump in and make a complete idiot out of yourself without realising I had posted again? 


I had to respond to your initial post not as a correction towards you but to remind other members of this community who forget what a miniscule part of the fanbase they really are.

Wow that is crazy. I am glad i do not read PCgamer if that is the type of writters they have. It is pretty sad how angry and anti-blonde hair the writter is. She even posts a pic of #2 which has almost the exact same face the only difference is the hair.

To be honest, I think all of them look out of place. Though that opinion is certainly prejudiced by my own FemShep creations I logically tend to prefer.

That article would have been a lot more interesting if she had continued talking about her catholic school girl days checking out other chicks in the locker room instead its just another boring rant.....

I know right? And she says "vote for diversity! Not the blonde!", It's funny how she mentions diversity when the fact is: of the 6 pictures, 4 have black hair, one is blonde and the other is redheaded. So yeah, blonde it's not diversity right?...

And actually they do have slightly different faces, it's just from the pictures on Facebook it's hard to tell. Still, they have very similar facial structure, with small variations on the lips, nose, and makeup (and obviously skin tone and hair).

Here you have a gif comparing closeups of #5 and #6. They loook similar, but they have differences.

 I picked number 4 as well. It would have been nice for a game to stray away from the typical "hot, white blonde/brunette bimbo" and add a little diversity.

Do you realize how much more this blonde will make you stand out? Ashley, Sheploo, Miranda, Gianna, hell, almost EVERYONE you encounter has dark hair.

Fem Shep should stand out.

There is so much wrong with this article. So let's rip it apart:

I am a girl.

How is that relevant in any way?

I like my ladies to have character, originality and a bit of attitude

And how exactly does haircolor factor into this? Are you saying that by changing my Shepards haircolor, I can suddenly expect to see dramatic changes in his characte, originality and his attitude? I'm guessing you already know the answer to this.

As soon as I get my grubby mitts on Mass Effect 3, I’m importing my
custom-made Shepard, who I spent hours lovingly sculpting into a Goddess
of the Stars. But as Shep 5 started gaining the lead by a sickening
margin, I felt the rage face activating.

Then why even bother with this article and/or wasting your anger on such an infantile topic, if you aren't even going to use the face? I'm using a CustomShep, and I have never complained about having to stare at Sheploo a single time. You should do the same.

... this will be the first in a long time that such a well-written,
kick-ass female hero will be brought into the spotlight – merited not
for the size of her dirty pillows and the tightness of her tramp-stamp
jeans, but for her ability to dominate the battlefield, unite humanity,
and stand up in the face of intergalactic adversity. So it breaks my
heart that the mass public have gone for such the wishy washy, Barbie
faced personality vacuum that is Shep 5.

And her having blonde hair will somehow also transform her armor into a pair of tramp-stamp jeans and get her dirty pillows? And you're still claiming being reasonably attractive and having blonde hair will vacuum personality out of the character? That makes as much as claiming that Sheploo's face is consuming all of Shepards character, because he's a modelfaced prettyboy.

The modern day world is already so much more culturally diverse than
yester-year, so why don’t future representations reflect this? Isn’t it
about time that the cliché of a blonde-haired, blue-eyed pin-up was
fazed out?

Blonde hair is rare in Mass Effect. Do your research. And since when does having a non-blonde haircolor suddenly make you more "culturally diverse"? That's right, it doesn't. Stop tossing such accusatory and, frankly, pretty ****ing judgmental **** around.

When you’ve got thermal bullets zinging over your head and Garrus screaming in your headpiece, you need to be able to at least see
what the hell is going on – something that simply isn’t achievable with
those straggly bits of hair flopping in your face. Trust me. I have an
irritating fringe, and I can barely see the screen right now

So you're admitting to being bimbo-haired yourself? This entire article suddenly took a turn for the self-hating department. Long hair has never been a problem in terms of combat-ability - otherwise Vikings wouldn't have been so dominating.

Please, boys and girls, I implore you. Don’t vote for Number 5. Vote for diversity. Vote for originality. Vote for personality.

So Ginger Winona Ryder has more personality, diversity and originality than her blonde-haired counterpart? How, exactly? The superficiality this writer posesses is appalling.

And lastly: I voted for number 5. Deal with it.

I think thats part of the problem. The blonde haired, blue eyed Aryan poster child reminds people too much of what was once considered (and in certain circles, still considered) to be "racially pure".

oops- fixed the link, it was this one


To be honest, THAT one looks more like the fake chicks playing in the clubs than the blonde one does.
The blonde one is blonde, and that is it. She looks like she can kick arse if you can ignore stupid stereotypes about haircolour.

The rouge covered clubgirl with the 'fancy' red stribe coloured into her hair looks like she would feel at home in a stripclub, as one of the employees.

I'm sorry, but I've seen far too many of the extremely fake girls with looks like your prefered choice in clubs to take that kind of girl seriously. there's nothing fakelooking about the blonde, though.

Yeah, these are my personal opinions. Live with it.<_<

One thing we can all agree on. It was a brilliant marketing move. Every gaming website in the world fights over which FemShep is the best.

Maybe it's because I'm Scandinavian and see blondes everywhere, but I can't understand why the hair colour is the issue here. Yes, I have issues with the new FemShep design too, but they have to do with the actual face; namely make-up, youth and general lack of originality (in comparison to the old Jane). To be blunt, they're all Barbies to me. Barbie-ness doesn't come with hair colour.

That being said, it's all just marketing after all. Sure the winner will probably be a preset in the game as well, but nobody's forcing you to choose her. I'm gonna go with the old default and most of you are going to go with your customs. Time to cut the ****in'.

Edit: Oh, the censorship. Well, supposedly you got my reference to female dogs anyway.

@su66otnik I couldn't agree more.

It can be all just sumarized in one thing: stereotypes.

Also just because she's a girl doesn't make her opinion more valid, that is just laughable.

It's not worth arguing with. I just laugh at every point of how retarded and non-sense they are.
