I voted #5 for every element of what she looked like. Which is why this bugs me.

I voted for one, the one I voted for won, and now I have to vote again and see the exact same image that I previously voted for lose.

Part of that is definitely my fault, as its opinion and natural emotion taking effect.

But that doesn't mean I have to like it or sit down and take it.

Imo that should illustrate how essentially useless the first round of voting was.  There were only six choices, so people ended up voting for completely different things.  Some people voted based on hair color, some for hair style, some for skin tone, some for facial structure, etc.

I didn't particularly love any of the 6, but had I voted I would ahve had to choose something around which to base said vote.  This next round adds a little more refinement to the voting process and narrows down some of the options.  It's still essentially useless, as those who voted for other things in round one are going to be screwed out of something, but then so too were people who wanted something in round 1 that wasn't present.

It's not perfect, and it couldn't have ever been perfect unless the voting process was absurdly intricate.  And I doubt femShep being blonde would have changed anyone's mind about stereotype perceptions.  Your defense of blonde Shepard was and still is perfectly valid; you just won't have the figurehead anymore.

Honestly, Bioware could have stuck with original default Femshep and we would have gotten basically the same result. Which is probably the take-home point here.

I'm okay with this outcome, but I found it eye-opening how much people hated on blonde femshep just because she was blonde. We've developed a pretty nasty set of stereotypes against blondes it would seem. I liked model #5 as much for her expression as the hair. For all that people thought 1-3 and 5 looked the same, there were subtle differences in eyes and jawset. The truth is I thought 5 looked the fiercest, like just the cast of her jaw and the glint in her eye said she was ready to beat someone down.

Bottom line though is that we only have a week to go to the trailer, and I'm excited for that at least.

The femshep trailer? I don't think there's gonna be a FemShep one in a week (i wouldn't mind being pleasantly surprised...for a change)

They said it would debut at PAX, which is on the 26-28th. Today's the 17th, so it's a little over a week, but still, week and a half.

Did they? I thought they meant the results of the 2nd vote would be announced at Pax. I would really luv it if there was a trailer next week. I thought there was gonna be one today<_<

Went back and listened to it again and you're right, they only say they'll annouce the winner at that time. Nuts.

It's a shame that it's been dragged out as much as it has. But I am still feeling pretty happy that the redheaded Shepard gets a second chance to be on the cover. The original Jane was one so I find the red hair to be a nice nod back to her. Plus; Redhead Shepard has freckles. That's something you don't see very often in the main protagonist.

The current numbers say otherwise.

I am hoping Bioware releases the wallpapers of her soon, since in the Media section there are wallpapers of the past candidates. BTW thanks Bioware for placing that section, now I can download the trailers in your awesome resolution!

Now, I can imagine the case of the Collector's Edition with Sheploo and this Femshep, and that's why I care for this votes

Throw this lamer out the window and just design your own Shepard Bioware, you did it for Sheploo do it for Jane.

Or just keep the brunette we had in ME1/2 and let us make our own Blondes/Redheads.

Because already everyone is voting for Blonde and Redhead again.

Reading comments on here from some people who voted for the blonde hair colour, Why on earth are you throwing a tantrum? It's bloody childish! If you want blonde then vote on the second poll for blonde! It's the click of a damn button and will take about 5 seconds! Not everyone has a problem with blondes, some might just want a different colour! Get over yourselves! And grow up!

And that's the core of my problem here.

No figurehead=No argument.

It just comes off as someone trying to shove their opinion down someone's throat, while with an actual Blonde FemShep I can say, "Look, you're wrong."

But at least SOMEONE realizes my defense of blondie is valid. I appreciate that little comment of yours, whether it was meant as a compliment or simply a statement to further your point, which I imagine it was both.

[Siven80]

Just an FYI, they are announced as #1 Brunette, #2 Blonde, #3 Dirty Blonde and #4 Redhead

[clennon8]

The blonde femshep won the first poll, but she didn't have the majority of the votes. Of course all the people who voted for a non-blonde the first time are going to do so again now.

I could say the same about those complaining about complainers, so...

[NICKjnp]

I just don't like that she looks like she is 19. It would be nice for a 31 year old woman to look like she is 31.

That's brown.

This again? I wonder how much whining they will be about the winner this time and if Bioware will have a round 3. Seriously, they ought to choose.

[k177sh0t]

Aw well, voted for the Black haired bombshell

[Davie McG]

I'm just going to change the hair colour in the character creator.

Exactly. I was ironic about this statement repeated in the past. 

[Xerxes52]

They all look very good imo. I'd be happy with any of the four choices.

Sucks for those who voted for #5 because she was blonde.

Now you've got the voters of 1,2,3,4, and 6 voting for other hair colors(mainly).

Sucks to be a blonde-lover. But it is what it is, I guess.

I think you're not being completely honest with yourself here. All you have to do to see that wouldn't matter is look at the numbers.

Last time around 70,000 votes were cast. Blonde Shepard got 30,000 of them. If everyone who voted for her last time votes this time, she should still win hands down, because there are 3 other choices that the other 40,000 will be split between.

If on the other hand many who voted 5 only voted for the hairstyle and not the hair color, we'll see a different outcome this time. That's the long and short of it.
