Well, my Shepard romanced Garrus and the reason I like the romance is precisely because of that trust, respect and friendship they've developed. Joker... my Shepard isn't best friends with him by any means and finds his comments juvenile a lot of the time, but they have a good working relationship and he's part of her team so she still cares for him in her own way.

Also, suthnmeh on dA has a really nice comic up, features the Destroy ending.

@SaturnRing -- So much thought into who her parents are! Makes the loss hit home more.

Thank you. I wanted it to mean something.

1). Tested tiledshot a bit. Word of warning, when your screen freezes, don't panic. This function doesn't show you "sampling" anymore, just freezes for a time. Tested at 3x1600.
Still, it doesn't like some distortion effects like vision blurred when camera moves or during using some skills, while sampling blasts, etc. Can not like some particle effects like omnikeys lights. Didn't noticed badly sampled flares (yet).

2). Freecam/players only combo is buggy. Not sure how to describe it, I'll try. Freezing the game during some moments that involve any camera change (like using heavy melee, dancing in Purgatory), toggling freecam and toggling freeze again causes your character to be stuck in place, and load or save>load is the only way out - not sure if "unstuck" keybind I had in ME1 will help, I will test it someday.
Basically, pick a moment, freeze, set up camera (don't unfreeze!), make your screenshot, turn off the freecam, wait for camera to "calm down", unfreeze. That's the safest way.

Some post processed and resized screenies with dedication for Hyper:


^ used: tiledshot 3x1600, FoV 90, resized to 1000x563, fixed contrast/color.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Edited for spelling, sorry.

The problem is that I always had her backstory in my head, but I suck at putting it into words

LOL my problem too . Also, I don't want  Siri to look like Mary Sue:blink:.

Femshep question:

How does your Shepard feel about Joker. I know there are people who dislike Joker after ME2 with the whole "He got me killed" thing but how does Shepard feel about her brittle boned pilot?

Hrist doesn't blame Joker for her death. Though I don't see the two of being that close, she does considers him a friend and has a lot of respect for him and his abilities and she was glad to have him flying the SR2 while forced to work with Cerberus. His constant jokes and attempts to cheer her up do get on her nerves at times though and she finally snapped at him in ME3 after the events on Thesia.

MizzNaaa wrote...

I have a question of my own, for non-Garrusmancing and Garrusmancing Femsheps, how do you feel about the  development of the friendship between Shepard and space Batman?

After Liara, the one person Hrist would want by her side, or watching her back is Garrus. Very few people get to refer to Hrist by her given name, but Garrus is one of them. She saw him as someone with a good heart, but who needed some guidance in ME1 and was proud of him for what he tried to do on Omega, even if she didn't agree with his methods. She knows that he's his own person though and needs to figure things out for himself and do what he thinks is right. She did step in when he wanted to kill Sidonis though as she knows he's better than that. Revenge almost destroyed her when she was younger and she didn't want to see him potentially do the same thing.

@Akari -- Everyone I see one of your posts or your lovely artwork, my muse taps me on the shoulder and asks me to do something creative for my Shepard. "Go away! No time!" Your work is that inspiring! =D

I don't think anyone has ever said my work has inspired them before, but that's really nice to hear. Thank you.

Good tip. I will have to try this out. This pretty much sucked for wanting to take melee shots of the Kai Leng fight. There's no way to speed up his kewl "slam fist into floor and watch titles fly in slo mo" opening scene while waiting for the fight to start. This ultimately defeated my patience and I just moved on. =p It's hard to get a decent shot with him because he "vibrates" so much.

Wheeee, wrote up a profile for Delta:




Name: Delta Shepard
Sex: Female
Pre-service History: Earthborn
- Born on April 11th, 2154 to Rose Shepard (father unknown) in Cook County Hospital in the inner city of the Chicago megacity
- Born premature with symptoms of neonatal drug addiction; mother’s parental rights terminated on grounds of child abuse/neglect; mother fled before further legal action was determined
- Discharged from the hospital into the custody of the state, Delta spent her childhood shuffling between children’s homes and foster care
 - She befriended a group of older kids, including a girl named Petra who Delta considered her best friend, and eventually went along with them to join the Tenth Street Reds
- Delta developed a drug habit at a young age, though she was spurred to quit at age 16 when she found Petra died of an overdose after a particularly wild night.  Petra’s death inspired her to improve her own life, leading her to quit the Reds
- Enlists with the Alliance on April 11th, 2172 at 18 years old

Psychological Profile: Sole Survivor
- 2177: Volunteered for an expedition to investigate Akuze colony dropping out of contact
- Unit was destroyed by thresher maws; 50 marines dead; Shepard was the only survivor
 - After the unit dropped out of contact, rescue teams found Shepard critically injured among the dead—as well as one dead thresher maw, who Shepard killed by swiftly juryrigging a Mako with tech proximity mines.

Military Specialization: Infiltrator (ME1: Operative, ME2: Assassin)
- Shepard graduated from the Interplanetary Combatives Training (ICT) program at Vila Militar in Rio de Janeiro, earning the rank of N7

Alignment: Paragon – has a remarkably positive outlook and tends to see the best in everyone, believing that everyone deserves a second chance

Love Interest:
- ME1: Kaidan Alenko
- ME2: Garrus Vakarian
- ME3: Though conflicted by Kaidan’s apologies and subsequent rejoining of the Normandy crew, Delta has chosen to remain with Garrus

Major Achievements:
- Rachni Queen: Alive (2186 update: the queen was spared again on Utukku)
- Virmire: Urdnot Wrex survived; Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams killed
- Council: Could not justify diverting resources to save the Destiny Ascension, resulting in the deaths of the Council; recommended Captain Anderson for human Council seat
- Rewrote the Geth Heretics, saved Maelon’s genophage cure data
- Destroyed the Collector Base (mission successful; no casualties)
- Negotiated peace between the krogans and turians after curing the genophage
- Negotiated peace between the quarians and geth
- Activated the Crucible, using the superweapon to destroy the Reapers

Affiliation:
- Loyal to the Alliance
- Council: The new council refused to reinstate her Spectre status until 2186 when the impending Reaper invasion forced their hand; very little trust between them
- Cerberus: None; cooperation in ME2 only out of necessity

Notes/Observations:
-Chipper, outgoing, and accepting, with a mischievous streak
- Remarkable resilience given her rough upbringing and traumatic service history; almost salarian-like in her ability to move past grief and pain, though it’s uncertain whether this is the result of actually addressing emotional issues or externalizing them.
- Tends to see the best in others to a fault

You can't tell me that Zody wouldn't have made a great mother. That is a 'young man, you have until the count of 3 to get to the shuttle, 1-2-3....' if I've ever seen one.

OMG 

I thought the EXACT same thing when I saw this shot. It's called the "mom-look" and every mom has one.  Not being a mom myself, I think they must practice every night in the mirror.  Or go to secret meetings and compare notes.

btw: is anyone else annoyed about how Shepard holsters her weapons sometimes?

Using 'ghost' command, sliding your character forward a bit, and then using 'walk' to get back on the geometry works for me, circumventing the need to re-load.

That "stuck in place" bug happens to me a lot. I also have the strafe keys (A, D) occasionally "die" on me within flycam mode (but only in flycam mode), so that I can only go forward and backward. Save/Load usually fixes it, but I have had to exit and restart the game a couple of times to get it working again. Some levels seem more prone to this. Presidium Commons, for example, is one place I can NEVER use flycam.

[Ashoken]

As far as Garrus and Joker are concerned:

Asche and Garrus always got along, from the first Padawan/Jedi moment to the "King of the Bottle Shooters" moment. Garrus was the one she chose to lead the distraction team at the Collector's base. And while she never held a grudge against Turians and respected their discipline and culture of public service, Garrus could get closer because he could become "space batman." He's more human than the rest. She knew all along Garrus was awesome. He was part of the trio (with Kaidan and James) she took with on the ground. They swapped out.

Asche never blamed Joker for her death. She fully expected to go down the Normandy. She was born in space. She would die in space, but she wouldn't let anyone else do so if she could help it. I, however, thought Joker was a jerk for not leaving sooner. I was also glad to see him address his guilt finally.

Evie loved that Garrus cleaned house on Omega. She had urged him to try for Spectre status, but Omega was better. He was taking out the bad guys without having to jump through hoops. She respected that. They are friends with a bit of rivalry. She totally shot the bottle.

Evie didn't precisely blame Joker, but she was well aware of his part in her death and ultimate partnership with Cerberus. He was (is) in love with the ship. People do stupid things when they are in love. She knows this very well.

...You want me to do what?...

No to figure out how to force AA through CCC. Since my card isn't the newest, I'm using older ccc/drivers that are more appropriate for it. But Origin says "FU".

[Kira Manell]

I finally got my Kira back! I was devastated (not to mention, more than a mite upset) when I started up ME3 for the first time, after the long wait, and I couldn't import my own face. All is well again, though. I venture to think she came out looking a bit better even:



I had to make due with a generic Femshep on my first round through, the gnashing of my teeth despite, trying to convince myself it should make no difference... but it did. I have never trusted Origin (and I never will). But I trusted them at least enough to never fix the import bug. So, for getting this straightened out, after all, they have my gratitude.

I would use the latest if I were you. Old ones lack optimizations for new games and may have some issues and worse performance. *puts Nvidiot hat on* Especially in AMD's case *takes Nvidiot hat off*
