Did someone say Samara?
I have to admit, I'm a bit curious as to how a romance with Samara plays out. I imagine she doesn't lay on the sugar quite as thick as some other LIs; there's an appeal to that... Hmm...

How did you get that hair? Or is that the default shep but with different textures?

So I completed the Surkesh mission with Nemain and as in Mass Effect 2, I still feel conflicted with how the Krogan/Genophage issue plays out. Regardless of what character I use I do not like being solely responsible for deciding on whether the Genophage should be cured. When I finally do give in and vouch for the Krogan's salvation, I end up feeling as though I do this only for gameplay purposes; roleplaying has no influence in this decision. Does anyone else feel this way sometimes? That they have a hard time deciding something strickly on role playing factors?

ok...if i add the default hair to a black haired Shep then i get black default hair (with clipping isues, then have to do all the LOD stuff).
but if i import the face from the pictures in my post above (LOD stuff done) and change the vectors to the black it keeps setting itself to the default red....i can change it to blonde or silver but not black...i can change her eye colour and eyeshadow but i cant make her hair black...any ideas?
I can change other hairstyles to black as well

While 0,0,0,1 is pure black, it could also be passed as null (theory) resulting in it resetting back to default, grab the colourdata out of your CC blackhaired shep and use those vectors for the black on your gibbed edited save.
If that doesn't work, I haven't the foggiest, worked fine for me ><

I thought it might be a null thing so i tried using the other black haired Shep RGB numbers...nada....works on other hairstyles...but not the default...which is odd as, like i said, i can make it blond or silver....and if i ive a black haired Shep the hairstyle it works...i was just trying to find a easier way to use the hairstyle wihout having to adjust all the LODs each time
I must be missing something as the default hair obviously can be black but i cant seem to change it from another colour TO black...odd

It's funny you should say, as I'd just finished typing up the following lunchtime ramble...
Having recently gone through Priority: Citadel and re-acquired Kaidan as a squadmate, I found myself debating the choice offered to Shepard. In game mechanics terms, it's a no-brainer, because (as far as I know) if you don't bring Kaidan aboard the romance can't continue. In my head-canon, however, him taking a position with Hackett wouldn't prevent the relationship from continuing, and would probably keep him safer, or as safe as anywhere is with the galaxy falling apart. Loving Kaidan as she does, should Aki really bring him on board the Normandy when she knows they're undertaking very difficult missions and emotional involvement has the potential to compromise them?
If your Shepards were faced with a choice between keeping their LI with them or asking them to contribute elsewhere which might be safer, what would they do? What about if it was a choice between preventing harm from coming to their LI or giving up/gaining a serious advantage against the Reapers?
ME 1 is the only part of the series where i feel like i'm not making choices solely for gameplay purposes. Maybe because there are less direct consequences to those decisions... ME2 gameplay to me is too often reduced to acquiring and equal amount of ren/par point; not enough of the skills transfer from ME1 (even with a level 60 import). I like the fact that Shepard won't have all the answers - Tali/Legion or Miranda/Jack - and will be forced to choose a side ( although a smart mouth such as Shep sould be able to make her way arround those choices). But on things like interviewing Elias Kelham, not having the renegade option from the start just brakes immersion. I tend to wanna play the game more on the renegade side, but for gameplay purposes, "i have to play nice".Flies_by_Handles wrote...

I understand that the whole purpose - behind ME2 & 3 - is being able to put aside your preferences, principles and other moral views for the greater good...but failure due to Shepard lack of skills make her appear, in too many cases, as weak or out of character. That's where to me, the balance is broken. I also wish more credit was given to neutral answers option, as it is, often, the wiser and more mature way to go...Renegade/paragon point should be a skill just like others.
In ME3 that concept of compromising for the greater good holds better because of the whole war context. I have to play nice, or sometimes dirty, to get the support i need. It makes sense...up until the moment you meet starkid.

Morning. I actually did get this up on Monday as I'd hoped, but forgot to post it here. I'm tweeting updates also, in case you follow the twitter more closely than the forums.
*snip*
Part 4 of my fanfic: Ragnarok is started. (<-- hosted at own site, also on fanfic . net if you prefer)
it seems silly to discuss the ending of a fanfic at the beginning, but i feel like i had to think about how i was going to end the story before i could get up the will to even begin. i'll just say that i've decided to give shepard what i feel is the ending that fits her story and stays on-canon for the ME universe. i'll have to see what DLC does to know for sure, but i have a plan sketched out. in fact, i kind of like my plan so well that i almost don't care what happens to dlc at this point.
...almost.
okay, not really.
anyhow. fiction is up and stuff. hope you enjoy.

40's shep preview
She doesn't look exactly how I want her right now because I used a reference of MY face which was a damned mistakebut she's looking closer to how I want her. I'll be drawing the gang like this as well after her ;3
With Valentina I can definitely see her being attracted to Liara mentally. If she ever does decide to hook up with Liara in ME1, she'd treat it nothing more than a fling - that's just how she is. The events in ME2 might change her mind about that though.NoxJuked wrote...
I forgot to mention that at least for my femshep she has also always found Liara attractive both physical/mental so that's just another reason. Seeing her act so mysterious in ME3 just makes me want to hook both of them up. I find it really hard to not romance anyone in ME3 because the character are so damn good. Sure I could just make her ice cold no romance like always..but damn..I would do another new playthrough anyways to romance someone
What happens when you try to initiate a romance with her? Does she express any interest whatsoever? Do you get the Paramour achievement? You don't get a sexytiem scene with her, I know that much.AshiraShepard wrote...

i'd imagine her doing that rarely and only when already in a relationship with Shepard.
Unfortunately, she just breaks your heart every time... damn you bioware.
When I think of the whys, the motivations behind each choice or action, then the roleplaying aspect remains intact to me. The only times I feel that I'm making a choice for gameplay purposes is when all of the choices presented are out of character for the Shepard I'm playing.Flies_by_Handles wrote...

With Jennelyn and Kaidan, hmm... The thought has crossed her mind at some point, but she chose to have him on board. Kaidan's an asset to the crew and Jennelyn needs people she can trust to have her back, now more than ever.Lianna sFfalenn wrote...
