@Nranola: Gold isn't so bad if you have a solid team to play on. I've played Silver for so long now and because I hyped up the difficulty jump in Gold I was pleasantly surprised to see that it certainly wasn't impossible.(Edit: Thanks for your comment btw. Really like your top post shot)

If anyone wants to hit me up on Xbox Live, my gamertag is Surly Sue. (When I'm truly surly and curse like a sailor my mic is off, so don't worry). Just send me a message before hand so I won't decline your request accidentally.

Mm, I'm sure a reliable team key to any Gold match. Not an easy thing to come by on randoms though. xD Ah, it's too bad I play on PC. I'm no expert but I would've loved to play with you.

Anytime. I just like how much character your Shepards have. They really stand out. Don't mind my fangirling. xD And thanks!

I think the ME3 femshep 'likeness' to the previous games comes and goes for me. I think it's the animations that are tripping me up atm. Kyrie animated amazing in ME1: there was never a moment she didn't look like she'd been designed for the game, imo. ME2, she looks solidly good, but the animation at times didn't *quite* work. You can't tell it in screens, but I could at times when playing her.

ME3... ugh. Am making another attempt to get her 'right.'

I can somewhat sympathize... I think. The animations in ME3 at times seem overly expressive, to the point that it appears kind of quirky, if that makes sense. Good for expressive Shepards, not so much for Shepards designed to have poker faces of steel. Not unless the rate of expressiveness can be filtered with dialogue choices?

Overall though I like the expressiveness in ME3 despite the occasional oddness. I'm a huge fan of frowny-face Shepard from ME1, ME2 was so-so, but ME3 has an abundance of frowny-face AND smiley-face which makes me very happy~





And of course, derp faces are a welcome bonus.

Honestly, I think I have more blondes then not, lemme check fast.
Laire, Lisa, Code, Annika, Marie. Anne, arguably dark-blonde / light brunette. And a dudeshep.
Yeah erm. Yeah =P

Granted Annika will never make it into ME3, she translated over horribly generic, and with so many Sheps and not having actively played her in ME1/2 as of yet, I don't much care.

Funnily because I'm blonde myself, I almost always end up with characters that look nothing like me. Dark-haired beauty's etc? In Mass Effect, my second was a blonde, Laire, and she infected me and now there's more blondes then any of the other colours combined together.


Marie in ME2


Code aka 'Bumblebee' in ME2

They will both be modded to hell and back, plus go through several revisions before I let them loose in ME3.

Oh yeah, and the replay thing..I played through 4 of my femsheps in ME3, but that was before the import fix so I decided to replay though all of them..if they do wind up adding a romance dlc like some people are hoping for I wouldn't have issues playing them all in a game+. as the end of the game doesn't bother me all that much and I really am hoping the extended dlc will explain the only real issues I have with it.
how they treated Thane and Jacob are the only real gripes I have with ME3. when I had Jacob die in Roslyn's game I had no clue how the romance was going to end in ME3, so I didn't do it because of the bad ME3 romance..I basically wanted to know how the game would handle a dead LI. It's pretty sad that a game respects a dead Jacob better then a living one.

@sage I know with Penny (my blonde shep) I couldn't use the lightest eyebrows.. her hair looked fine, but the eyebrows were way too pale in comparison even though the blonde hair on her head is the lightest shade.
http://i16.photobuck...03-15-26-26.png

I seem to be the odd one out with the hair in ME3 as well, because for the first time I actually like the majority of the hair. I also never liked the "sexy" hair style until ME3. I always thought it looked pretty oily, I gave it to Nora my last femshep and never warmed up to it in ME2.

I have used the Gibbed stuff to mod the hair/eyebrow colors to where I want them. i almost darkened them this time around, but part of kyrie's charm is her blonde brows, i think. she's one of the few femsheps who looks like she almost doesn't *have* brows, they're so light. i just darkened them up a tiny, tiny bit in gibbed - actually set them to what they were in ME2 - they lightened the 'darker' of the two blonde brow shades. 

i had sort of prided myself on not tweaking a thing from me1 to me2 except to tone down the now-garish blush in me2. me3, however, i've had to do a LOT of tweaking. i found the brow depth - something that added a lot of character in me1 and 2, now doesn't do as much in me3. it just sort of makes problems for eyeclipping.

Hmm... I can't think of anyone in particular right now, but FemShep is pretty high up my list, if not topping it. She's setting the bar high for strong female characters.

Do people replay their Sheps, or only create new ones? If you do replay them, do they make different decisions?

My arsenal only has three Shepards in it at the moment. Two of which haven't seen a great deal of the game yet: Jennica, Colonist/Ruthless Renegon; and Valentina, Spacer/Ruthless Renegade.

With Jennica the key decisions will most likely be similar to Jennelyn but with a more Renegade twist to it; completely different character, just a different approach. Valentina is my experimental wild child lol.

The third one in the arsenal is of course my main Shepard, Jennelyn, Colonist/Sole Survivor Paragade. She's the only one I've played and replayed throughout all three games. Same decisions every time. It's oh so tempting to go with a "perfect" run, and believe me I've thought about it *cough*Maelon*cough*, but if I did that I'd feel like I'm betraying her character. It's her experiences, good and bad alike, that makes her who she is, and I won't dare compromise that.

Call me a nerd but that's how I feel about it. xD The feels, they are strong.

doesn't help that in the CC, kyrie looks bizARRe. she looks totally washed out and weird in the CC, truly. i think that's maybe part of the reason people don't make as many blonde sheps? dunno. she doesn't look nearly as good or striking as someone with darker features.she really looks like this pasty white blob. so i can't tell what she's actually going to look like until i hit the game.

Haha, yeah.  I think the skin tones were lightened in ME3 (or more likely it's just ME3's lighting being less forgiving), so a previously pale Shepard now looks downright ghostly.  As for the blonde, well, Bioware's CCs have always had trouble with blonde I think.  They always end up being too bright yellow or too whitish or too greenish or something, I haven't put my finger on it.



Delta was always pale (skin tone 5, I think) but now she pretty much sparkles in the sunlight like a Twilight vampire.  It makes me laugh, though, so I'm not changing it.

Sometimes I feel I'm a neird.
ME1 = Only 1 time yet cause I deeply hate the Mako, so Reyna ( Main ) and now I try to get a grasp for Chiara.
ME2 = 6 times - 2 of them with Male Characters
ME3 = 3 times with an imported Character, 1 time a non import pure Renegade

Time is actually a bit limited - but I will for sure continue play the series
Have I mentioned I'm a neird ??

randomly (and this is sorta femshep related, cause i'm trying to get my saves to work properly) - does anyone know if you need to *force* origin to use the local data vs. cloud data.

i just made some gibbed changes locally, but didn't get a message asking if origin should use local or cloud data (it usually does that when i change stuff). is there some way to tell it to remember to check locally? just wanting my hair/brow color fixes to take hold.

Has anyone else also taken a break from the single player game? Think at one point I was experience story fatigue, or something close to it.

Forced break since i can't import properly; i will keep playing MP until Ghost Recon comes out. I mostly play with Demonhoopa (he has a +400 N7 rating) ;him and his friends have developed a strategy that makes taking on gold almost too easy.

Don't know if this'll answer your question but I have cloud storage deactivated and my changes always remain

ok, back on topic...

is it me or is FemShep the ultimate female heroine?

We have had many strong female characters over the last 30 years, Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor, Lara Croft etc, but none of them can stack up to Femshep...

She can:

1) Kick ass....punching reporters, headbutting krogan
2) Can shoot like a Navy SEAL
3) Can fling people around like a Jedi
4) Can freeze/burn people like Superman
5) Can seduce people like James Bond

Can anyone think of another leading lady that can top FemShep?

   

Oh Fem shep is good thats  for sure and she ranks up there but is she hands done the best? Debatable.   

On command and tatical abiltily 

Lacus Clyne - The main LI from  Gundam Seed. Well she starts out "looking" like your typical pinked haired anime tart. Till about episode 10 or so when she then opens  a communication channel - and our right tells the Commander of Operations in that area to cease his assult and return to base. Then after her father is killed she organizes a resistence against her own goverment , uses her own considerable wealth to  her own mobil suit factory and battlship.   

Balalaika  - Black Lagoon: A former Spetsnaz  commander that took  the  men under command and made themi n the to the most ruthless  Crime Syndicate in the series.  So much so that made the Yakuza look like rookies when a mob war between them broke out. She makes Renegade Ruthless Shepard look like a Saint.   

Sumeragi Lee Noriega - The commander of the 
Ptolemaios[/i]   in Gundam 00.  She graduated college a 17.  It took  the cobmined efforts of the 3 world super powers and some  Magnificent Bastard play by the main antoganist to final defeat  her and her crew the first time.  This was durning the first season when she is functioning alcholic. Second season she gives up the booze and gets that much better.   

Katherine Janeway -  First Female Star Trek Captian.  

Sarah Kerrigan - Queen of Blades -  forge an alliance with her enemies against a common foe.  Destroy common foe and then finish off the rest of  her enemies all in the same place.   

In the raw power, toughness, grit and general Badassary. 

Wonder Woman - She can trade blows with Supes.  Hands burnt a crips, no problem... bandages hands with ax in hand and get back to buisnes. 

X-23.   Wake up find arm being hack via chainsaw by pyscopathic  former handler. severed arm,  make escape, burn served arm so bad guys don't get dna, grab claws. She then destorys the secert lab, fights her way out with only 1 arm . Gets back to base, arm is growing back ask docters to  reinsert claws into arm...  

Ms. Marvel - First time fighting Vemon...no problem.  Reach in mouth, yank guy out of  Venom Suit.  

Major Mokoto  Kusanagi -  fires .50 caliber anti material rifles with  one arm. 

Yeah  Femshep does rank up there, we also have wide  sample to pick from

 Well, all my video games characters are blond. Every. Single. One. Margaret was a miracle in that sense that she still stays the favourite despite having brown-red hair (usually, blond perso always beats their elder). The irony with ME3 is the disparition of her hair color in the CC that makes me revert to the lighter brown which have red and blond reflects. Shepard, why u still my hair color?!

[Chugster]

^^ hmm, true, but Shep is only human....certainly there are superheroes with more abilities but im not really counting them

Oh and Ottemis....dont reply to any of my posts please, you and me are never gonna agree and you are NOT a moderator, so just keep your nose out of my business unless i refer to you directly...

For those of you paying closer attention, is there some facial structures/features which are further off than others? I don't know if I've just been using Alice's ME3 face for too long or what, but I haven't noticed quite the difference some of you guys are seeing (of course, I'm using a modded face texture, so there's that...)

ME2:


ME3:

Alice essentially looks the same...i.e. freaking gorgeous to me in both games...so i would say your lucky.  

Despite some (rather loud) protestations to the contrary, Alice -- and the faces others -- are not completely different. In fact, only minutely so -- it's just that humans are very good at detecting minute facial changes, is all. Only thing that really stands out, in terms of noticeable differences, are the lips, which are decidedly glossier in ME3 than before. Overall the faces seem snoothed out a bit extra too (less dimples/bumps in cheek area and such). You can witness that in my own Kira too:



I'd say Alice came out looking even better! And so did my Kira, I think. Some might argue prettier isn't necessarily better, and that a smoothed out face loses some character, perhaps. But I'm quite content the way it all turned out.

well we are all entitled to our opinions....and if you like your Shep then that is fantastic

but if i think they look different then im gonna say it and no one is gonna deny me that right

^ This eye-clipping thing, though! Driving me nuts.

Yeah, that's the only issue I have with Maria now. The eyeclipping. You can only see it in closeups and cutscenes, but still it's annoying.

I'm probably the only one that can see it, and it's not severe, but her left eyelid clips slightly (on our right).





And then in shots like this, her eyes look just fine.



Yes, that's where I got my current avatar from.

Hey tup3xi, if you still have the conversion table (or equivalent) could it be made public? A javascript function might be enough to translate the facecode, that will assure cross platform compatibility without the need to install anything.

Yeah... I have been thinking about doing it. It is super simple thing to do anyway so I will probably make js version. I had plans for it but I have been really busy.
