Damn, thread's going fast these days. It's too much work try to say something about every individual Shepard, but for what it's worth: I've seen them all and I liked them all. I think I've said it before, but I especially love how different each one looks, despite the fact that we don't have much to work with in terms of haircuts and other distinct features.

Answers to some of the questions asked:

Favorite guns:
I can live without the Widow, I absolutely hate snipers with only one shot per clip. I do love the Black Widow, though. And the N7 Valiant of course. The Graal Spike Thrower and Geth Pulse Rifle are my favorite shotgun and assault rifle, respectively, although the latter doesn't seem to do much damage on Insanity, sadly.

Do I have a Shepard standing by for the EC?
At the time, I didn't know that a save from before the assault on Cronos Station would be best, but coincidence has it that I temporarily abandoned my Infiltrator, Katida, a few weeks ago just before triggering the final attack on Cerberus. So, when I have downloaded the EC, I can finally bring Katida's journey to a (hopefully) fulfilling conclusion. 

I still don't know what ending I should pick, though. I think I'm going for the Destroy ending... I can only hope that EDI and the Geth will be spared if my EMS is high enough. If they don't... well, than I know that, during future playthroughs, I can stop playing just before Hackett announces that the Crucible doesn't work. In my version of Shepard's story, the Crucible will work on it's own, EDI and the Geth will live and so will Shepard, who gets saved from the Citadel and reunites with her loved ones.

As for myself: I wanted to start a new playthrough of ME3 (yes, again. I have the same 'problem' when I play World of Warcraft: I'm just too much of an "altoholic" as they call it. I love creating new characters, new personalities and new backstories, but when the actual gameplay starts I tend to get bored pretty fast. But maybe that's just my ADD working. It's better than a few years back, but I still tend to have the attention span of a goldfish when it comes to videogames -- or at least, completing them).

But I digress. What I wanted to say was that it suddenly seemed like a better idea to start a new Shepard in ME2 and play through both games again. I was also curious how ME2 would stack up against ME3, especially since many people think ME2 was better. Of course, I've only completed Freedom's Progress, but I have trouble agreeing with those people. The lighting, the animations, the dialogue -- everything feels clunky and just... off. Not that it's suddenly a bad game, though, far from it. I guess the game just has to grow on me again. Playing ME1 for the first time after ME2 felt weird, too, so...

Anyway, I'm not going to make it too difficult for myself. My Shepard is currently still a soldier, but I'm going to make her a Sentinel and just relax and breeze through the game on Veteran difficulty.

@iSpaz: Predator, Shuriken and Avenger are my Deirdre loadout for most missions. Being a S. sniper(spotter) the Viper was her weapon of choice; but not since it's trigger reset/refire rate took a hit when transitioning into ME3. She will have to revert back to her Incisor. She loves it as much as she finds it useless(3 round burst). On hard targets or anti materials, the Widow or the Mantis are perfect, Deirdre being bolt action aficionado.

I have Anja's save all ready to go for the EC. I'm gonna pick high EMS Destroy again with her, then probably scope out Youtube to see what all the other endings are like now.

I'm not sure if Quorra should stay with the Mantis V, or start using the Widow or Black Widow. Hmmmmm....

If you can afford the Black Widow, it's totally worth buying. Hannah has a Black Widow X with the Piercing Shot V mod on it, and at Casual that can punch a hole through two Guardians with one shot.

And now for the questions tht I don't believe I've answered yet...

1. Bailey: Hannah had some concerns about his willingness to play fast and loose with the rules of the job in ME2 (and she wasn't happy about his admission to taking bribes), but felt that she wasn't in a position to cast aspersions since she was working for Cerberus at the time.

By ME3, Bailey appears to have started playing things a lot more by the book, but even if he wasn't, the six months that Hannah had just spent under house arrest have left her a lot more sympathetic to the renegae point of view. His actions during the Cerberus attack on the Citadel convince her that his intentions are nothing but the best, and that he's a damn good man as well as a damn good security chief.

2. Feelings before the final battle: Hannah has, by this time, had the weight of the galaxy on her shoulders for so long that she's almost at her breaking point. She knows that the success or failure of the mission will depend upon her spearheading the attack, though, so she's in a state of desperate resignation. Her visits with her squadmates aboard the Normandy help to rekindle the belief that, just maybe, they might succeed. And the sight of all the people in London who have carried on the fight on Earth fans that back into a flame of hope for success. So as she's boarding the shuttle to go destroy the antii-aircraft cannon, her thought is "It's a good day to die ... but I'm not going down without a fight."

What is the one gun your Shep can't live without?

inb4blackwidow/widow ;p. Ally loves her revenant and Natalya loves to pretend to be a ghostbuster with the particle rifle.

Claymore. So much fun I wrote 2 fics that focus on how much Kira loves hers

I'm taking UJ in first. We'll see what happens. If I like it, I'll take the others.

Gorgeous shot, really.

I could take Jennifer 1.0 through the EC if I wanted to, but I'm really focussing on getting Jennifer Redux through ME2 so I have all the 'right' decisions in place before I tackle Chronos Base. Since I've still to the Collector Base to do in ME2 it's probably gonna be a while before I get round to taking her through ME3 (again), by which time I'm assuming there will be a general consensus on whether the EC has fixed anything or not.

So, in the meantime, here's some more ME2 shots of Jennifer:



"So, do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya?"




Love this quiet moment between Shep & Thane; has something of Hopper's 'Nighthawks' about it I think:


I like the sillhouette in this image; kind of foreshadows EDI's in ME3:

Doing some random modification from an imported face gave me this. Quite satisfied with it!



Am I the only one thinking she's giving Hackett the WTF look?

 @Demos99 : loving the new shots of Jennifer...she is gorgeous and badass all wrapped into one! 
@Seb : Your femshep is quite the beauty herself! Tell us more about her! 

Ok...so, before I get into New Game + with Allison 3.0...I decided to import Amelia into ME 3. Once again, thank you so much to meonlyred for her facecode and allowing me to play her n give her, her own storyline in the Mass Effect universe...

Bio: Spacer, Ruthless, Sentinel,
LI : Liara
Bonus Power : Dark Channel(ME 3)...AP ammo,Slam(ME 2).

First ME 2 pics.




ME 3 : Earth...












More Later...

Yay, femshep banner for the EC

[MASSEFFECTfanforlife101]

Damn...If only there was some way to change it around to fit My Shepards. In My Main/Personal/Number One Story, who is MaleShep, Kaidan is Alive, and for Quorra's Story, Ashley is Alive. I guess Official Pictures Represent BioWare's "Defaults," if you know what I mean.

[MASSEFFECTfanforlife101]

More Quorra!





^ This Mirrors My Story! v









^ Some Space Walking for Quorra.



^ Can you blame her?



PS: I will NOT Download the Extended Cut Until I start the New Game Plus for My Main/Personal/Number One Story/Shepard.

Yay! FemShep has it too! I was afraid it's only for ManShep...

Jane missed this thread. She's back

[CrazyRah]

Tomorrow is do or die for the ME franchise for me. I'm ready and so is Sarah. Bring it on EC!

[ELE08]

So tommorow should be...interesting.

I finally managed a complete playthrough without skipping a bunch of crap with my new Vanguard and she's parked right before the assault on the Illusive Man's base.  MP is at 100% so if the ending doesn't deliver...uhm, oh well?  I guess?

Oh Anderson, you old coot!


No favorite weapon.  That's what fists are for.







Engineer Bastards!!!

Ahem.

The Avenger is handy for setting stuff on fire I guess...before it gets pummeled.

Flycam shots!

Only two, sadly

Detonating Liara's stasis bubble with charge!


Take that, husk!

[JamieCOTC]

@ELE - Love your vanguard.


UJ's favorite weapon.


Shepard: Liara! I could kiss you!
Liara: Yes ... I know what you mean.
Shepard: Uh ... maybe you could help me up first?


Ah, yes. Tomorrow. For me, the EC will determine in my headcanon if UJ wakes up from her Reaper induced nightmare after she destroys them or after the epilogue.

[Ashoken]

Here we go...

@meonlyred, Zody looks fierce and awesome.

@demos99, the Shep & Thane shot is really quite cool. I feel like a creeper watching them.

@SebAusFR, lovely lovely Shep! I agree, there is a WTF quality to her expression.

@raziel1980, Amelia looks very regal and determined.

@merylisk and @MASSEFFECTfanforlife101, I was very happy to see FemShep featured in the EC banner. I am quite happy seeing Kaidan there as he is Asche's, main/personal/number one love interest. Quorra looks lovely as usual.

@Jane Shepard, Welcome back Jane!

@CrazyGreggy, Flycam!! I'm addicted to it. It takes me forever to finish a mission now.

Tee hee!

I haven't played much in the last couple weeks, other than multiplayer. I did want to play with @Ottemis's new textures and, of course, play with flycam. I took Lida, my infiltrator renegon. Here is the result.

Fire is good. Standing in it is not.


I used the Black Widow with Asche and she ripped things apart. I must say I am rather liking the Valiant with Lida.


More of the Valiant.


Never look back.


I'm not a fan of the full Renegade scars. They are too freakish for me. However, I think Lida is rocking the faint scars.


Now, onto the EC, for better or worse.

[raziel1980]

 Thanks Ashoken!  I think Lida is starting to ebcoem my fav character from you...she looks cute n determined all bottled up into one big Firecracker! 

More of Amelia...this time on Mars...after this both she and Denise will be on hold while I take Allison through New Game + EC style! 



Meeting up with the LI...


Now James!


Quick Kill! (still need to improve my timing and button pressing with this).


You were always stubborn...so true 


Go to Hell...I'll send you there myself! 


Onwards...

[Tup3x]

Ho hohoo! Just checked MP leader boards, probably tells a lot. It get annoying pretty quick thanks to the stupid luck (instead of skill based) unlock system.



I didn't quite manage to reach Thermal Interface Materi... I mean, TIM's base yet. I'm not sure if I manage to play the EC tomorrow.

Then to avoid any spoilers, it would be wise to avoid these forums until you download it.

W00t! That's really cool! (And about time too.) Thanks for posting.

@JamieCotC: That image of UJ is gorgeous; like she's lit by Black Light.

@raziel1980: Ooh, loving the beauty spot on Amelia! That's mega-cool.

@Luis: Fantastic shot of Quorra w/ sniper rife.

@CrazyGreggy: Only two perhaps but both are keepers.

The reduced resolution kind of spoils this shot somewhat but I really like the original full-size version:


Jennifer looks so young and, dare I say it, innocent (even with the renegade scarring) in this image:

(I'd swear Jennifer spots a different facial template when she's wearing armour than she does in the science officer outfit, where her face seems narrower to me.)

I'm not really sure what caused this effect, but I still think it's very striking:


Ouch! That's gotta smart!
