Before I post some of Mel's EC I have a FemShep question = 
Did you ever create a Character and got no real emotional success/contact during playing ?

I think that's what happens to me with every Shep I've ever created except Aki, actually! I'm sometimes a little bit envious of those people who have so many Shepards that are all unique and have their own story, because I just can't do it. I have three other Sheps who have established looks and backstories but my enthusiasm for actually playing them has never got me further than two planets into ME1. One would have thought that pure Paragonism would get boring after a while, but not for me, apparently

Now that I have some will to play ME3 again, I just wanted to post a comparison shot of shiny mod-improved Aki - kind of a tribute to all the mods and hints posted in this thread!


Clicky for full size.

Left: No mods
Right: ELE's hi-res eyes, Eranen's eyelashes and eyebrows, Toshinho's ear improvement, Tup3xi's suggested shadow settings. Special thanks to nranola who generously shared the complexion 1 mod made for Jennelyn with me!

I'm also loving Ottemis' blue casual mod, although it's not really showing to advantage in this shot

Ohh WOW! She looks great! 

Nice to see another of the originals back in action! 

Edit: Top Shep...guess I can show Denise right where I left off with her then.



Edit 2: Page 711, funny...because 7/11 is actually my birthday!

I know how that feels.
I really tried with the character creator but after I realized how bad my first femShep for ME1 really looked I really didn't use much from the character create screen other than hairstyles, hair colors, and skin tones.

When I did try a make more unique looking fem Shepard I decided to that I wanted to make a female Shepard that was inspired by my favorite professional female wrestler Gail Kim but I could never get her to look like an Asian I finally decided that she would of Asian and Hispanic decent and that worked.

@Raziel, Dakota use to make a lot of appears in the thread. But I doubt she'll make any appears beside ME1 and 2. Because her LI dies in the first 1/3 of the game and since their are no neutral dialogue options hers and Zody's playthrough are almost exactly the same, minus Zody gets to have someone to comfort her in their final hours and Dakota will show more concern over her friend Kaidan getting hurt than Thane (her LI) dying. I'm so glad all the LIs were treated equally... oh WAIT!!!

@Ravii, I use Fraps which I got through totally legal means.

Well... I only have one Shepard so I do not have that problem. Never felt attached to Sheploo since he was not custom character. I did have one version of Tiia that was face structure 7 based. It was second ME1 run with femShep. She had helmet on all the time since I failed to recreate her and when I imported her in ME2 it was obvious that I had to recreate the original face with flipping back to import and custom method (I really needed the old face code). I never attached to that version but other than that, no.

I understand what you mean by that so well...it almost hurts. That's the same sorta feelings I had with my Thane-mancer Alicia...who is essentially Allison with red hair n green eyes. I actually did play her through the game to Cronos Base...but that is as far as she's going. It does suck since she was my very first ME 1 on the pc femshep character I ever made or played.

That's the other way around for me. When ME was still in development  i probably spent too much time viewing demos featuring default femshep or sheploo/the first male model*. I came to identify Shepard the character and voice to those respective faces. Still, like for every game i play, there was no way i would use a default face for my canon - or so i thought. When the game came out, after trying for a few weeks, i found myself unable to create a character i was satisfied with. Jennifer Hale/Mark Meer voice sounded right only with the default face. Although to be honest i was always more attracted to the generic femshep features - than to what was available in the cc. But i was planing on changing hair/eye color - which couldn't be done at that particular time.
So as a result, i feel no attachment to any custom character really...I only play default femshep( her alter egos) or sheploo.

@raziel: as ragard to Allison, i always thought she was a great and unique character/Vanguard - even when u were posting her back then. Hence the feedback. She looks better than ever with the shorter updated(sexy) haircut.

Catching up a bit here...

@SilverMoonDragon, Emmarose looks great! I love that shot with Grunt. He's one of my fave characters.

@Hadeedak, awesome shots of Yoshimi's final mission. I'm gonna miss her!

@Tup3xi, that top PS3 shot is pretty cool.

@SebAusFR, Kyla's Benning armor color scheme is badass. I really like it.

LanceSolous13 wrote...

Anyone else bothered by the fact that there aren't any good casual options in Fem!Shep's Wardrobe?

I'm not to bothered by it. I would have liked to have seen FemShep get the jacket and pants option rather than that awful dress. But otherwise, I was happy with the choices. Too many choices for me means terrible indecision. Also, casual on a military ship would be whatever is issued. I'm probably wrong, though.

@Rikketik, so very hard to friend zone Kaidan. I haven't had to go through that yet, but soon with my sentinal. Oy.

@Akari Tenshi and @Syrdeth, sweet random shots.

@Raziel1980, sad to see Allison's journey come to an end and weird to see her with short hair. I'm looking forward to travelling with your Sheps in waiting.

@Captain Crash, nice FemShep/Liara find. I love the Blood Dragon Armor too.

This happens to me with Mel. I like her, but she is by far the one I did not cry if she was accidently deleted or something. Dunno how to describe it proberly with my english, maybe you get the idea.

Thank you! I have to say, Mel has very haunting eyes. To answer your question, each of my Sheps take paths that the others don't necessarily take. So I have a pure paragon, pure renegade, some mixes and some male sheps. Because they end up being different in outlook, I end up buying into them and haven't felt any disconnect from them. What I find harder to do is to play more than one class with a Fem or Boy Shep. My Charles is the engineer. My Asche is the soldier. Lida, the infiltrator, and so on.

@mya11, Maeva is lovely.

And now, Lida -- the hard suit series (except for a couple).

Lida let Javik go on and on about how horrible the Reapers are while visiting the Citadel. On retrospect, not the best decision she ever made.


On the bridge.


Wondering what might happen if EDI decides to Destroy All Humans. Mmhmm.

Before I post some of Mel's EC Ihave aFemShep question = Did you ever create a Character and got no real emotional success/contact during playing ?

Yep, with all my non canon characters... I feel attached only to one character in each game (Mass Effect is not an exeption). Sometimes I create other characters, but I don't really play them. Even if another character would have the same appearance but a different name, she won't be the same. I started to play Mass Effect as default FemShep, I liked her and got used to her. Four other FemSheps (Mikaela, Diana, Polina and Dina Jane) I made later are different. Maybe one of them could replace Jane if I would have started to play as one of these Shepards. Polina is special, however. She is named after a Russian FemShep voice actress and based on her in some ways. And yet... default Jane was my first I like both Jennifer Hale's and Polina Shcerbakova's voices with default FemShep's face. For example аfor Mikaela their voices don't sound right, I think.

Speaking about Mikaela... Found some screens of this Renegon girl

What? 

I've been wondering, actually: is the German version only subbed or also completely dubbed? Given the amount of dialogue it would seem easier to just sub it, but since as far as I know pretty much everything gets dubbed in Germany...

@ raziel1980: Again, great shots of Allison. Joker and Shepard saluting each other is an epic moment and the goodbye with Garrus... I still don't know if Hale actually teared up during that scene or if she is just an incredible actress. I know I cried, though.

@ Captain Crash: I actually didn't like the armor at first, I thought it looked a bit out of place in the Mass Effect universe. But after wearing it a few times... I think it's great if you want to look tough, even better than the Defender armor. The only thing I don't like is the helmet, but at least you can disable it during cutscenes.

@ LadyAly: Thank you!

As for your question ("Did you ever create a Character and got no real emotional success/contact during playing?"): Not in ME3, or at least not yet, but I had a few Shepards in ME2 that I couldn't get into. Mostly because either they looked a bit too much like my other Shepards or because they weren't femsheps. Yes, I did try a few times to play as male Shepard, but despite being a guy myself, I just couldn't get into it. It's a quirk of mine: when a videogame gives me the option of choosing a gender, the one I choose will always be my prefered gender. So ever since I decided that my Commander Shepard would be a woman, all the way back when ME1 was just released, I haven't been able to play as a male Shepard anymore.

Oh, and I love the screenshots of Mel and Samantha. So pretty, both of them.

Wat? Really? So Xbox
versiom looks even worse? I have never seen Xbox version live but it is
kinda hard to believe that they would make it even lower quality
(texture filtering is horrible, fyi people bioware probably forget to
enable trilinear filtering like in ME1 and 2, it will use bilinear
filtering instead which causes lines in filtering; anisotropic filtering
does not fix all negativities caused by it but it is easy to enable
triliner filtering from ini).

I have no doubt that the pc-version looks much better, but I think the difference with the X360-version is only jarring when you are used to the superior pc-version. I ain't and I think the X360-version looks great, if a bit too dark (but you can adjust that).

@ Ashoken: Hah, you're a Kaidan-mancer? It's the other way around for me: I always have difficulties romancing him. Not to imply that I dislike him or anything -- in fact, I think he's a great guy and one of the best squad members in the game -- but I've always seen him more as a friend than as a LI. I do always get the feeling that he would really like to enter a relationship with Shepard, but the poor guy never has a chance in my playthroughs.

But hey, never say never. From what I've seen from other Shepards in this topic that romanced him, I think their relationship could really be sweet. So who knows, maybe he will finally get what he wants in a future playthrough.

Great screenshots of Lida, by the way, especially the one with EDI.

Yes. I made a Sentinel called Claire. I was quite pleased with how she looked, but other than the in-game background options, she had no real story. I only got part way through Freedom's Progress before I stopped playing. I intended to go back to her, but I think a combination of no real connection to the character and having played ME/ME2 too many times, she fell by the wayside. Maybe I'll go back to her one day, who knows?

And something I made in photoshop today. It didn't turn out as I intended, but I'm fairly happy with the end result. Of course now I've posted it, I'll no doubt spot something I want to change.

Well obviously PC version is better but it was not what I meant. I was under impression that PS3 version was inferior to other platforms in every way.

But but... I really hope that they plan to release new proper DLCs for ME3. I don't care MP that much...

Ah, OK. My bad.

Agree about the DLC by the way. But I think I've read somewhere that BioWare had a whole bunch of DLC planned, but they had to put those on hold because of the Extended Cut. That the MP-mode did recieve new content is probably because SP and MP are developed by different teams.

Oh, and Berlitz is currently uploaded in the Geth Consensus. You can expect screenshots of that later tonight or else tomorrow, but for now you'll have to do with a bit of an "easter egg". Have you ever tried to sprint in the consensus? Because you can do it indefinitely instead of only a few seconds. Why is that? Because your mind is uploaded, not your body! It reminded me of the Matrix, when Morpheus spars with Neo and tells him that his body's physical limitations (such as having to breath oxygen) don't exist in a virtual reality. It's just a detail, but I like how the dev team thought of it.

I certainly have, however they usually don't last very long.

Quite often I find myself incorporating traits from fail!Shepards into current ones, or making a new character that is a composite of the things I liked about other ones. It works for me, because they are all the same Commander Shepard, in a sense, but in alternate what-if universes.

Actually one of my favorite looking Sheps that I've ever made, I couldn't connect with beyond that. Lena, who I was quite proud of, but never really found I could come up with a fitting personality. Delerius_Jedi has since adopted her, and subsequently gave her a fitting story, though he does love to torture her. She romanced Jacob. Nuff said.


ME1! That is supposed to be Joane, however the lack of hair options is seriously a bummer.

Here we go again - I want to do it before sleep -  and interesting to read the comments about my question 
I will comment to one or the other  

@mya11 Maeva is gorgoeus - Rannnoch light let her really shine. Want to tell us more about her ? And a nice welcome  

@raziel1980 Now I have a sad.. *sniffles* farewell Allison  
@Ravii  I use Fraps. Its easy and quite nice  ( and I'm german, too.  ) 

@Lianna sFfalenn Oh - she is very very pretty - hopefully we see more of her  

@ottifant64 Oh well - nothing is more worse then german voice actors.... I tried to play Skyrim in german and get after some minutes so annoyed about the lack of emotions in the voices and the obviously uncorrect translation, that I re-installed the whole game.
Even if I am german I do love to play in english - 99 % of all the games.

@Ashoken Ah - you handle it like me. All of my Shep's having different style, different LI's and what not. So it felt strange that I didn't care for Mel so much less then some of my others. 
Thx for the comment about the haunting eyes on Mel... with my crappy english I'm not really sure what it means, though:blush:
btw EDI and Lida  <3 

@Roamingmachine You are sure it was only the alcohol ? She is looking a bit *stoned* - very cute 
@JaneShepard Mikaela is so beautiful - but I can see why you so very much attached to Jane  

@Rikketik Thank you - I agree about the cute prettys. Samantha is much more sexy then Kelly ever was..my personal opinion 
As for my own question you answered - I know some Man which simple love to play in every game Women - and I know players which NEVER, EVER do this  
I'm a woman and prefer to play Lady's - but I have to say the one or another Male Char has always mixed in.

O- M - G = this is a piece you should be very proud of it. I love the colors and the composition is so harmonic .. great stuff   

@ELE08 Yeah I can understand this quite well. I like to create faces - but the most I never play... it was in DA the same. 
But Mel made it through ME2 and ME3, though - so I guess something was okay with her after all. 

[Wulfram]

There are some Shepards who I didn't connect to and thus never got somewhere.

There are also some who I did connect to while playing, but lacked a memorable hook and so are rather forgotten now - I know Mike Shepard was fun to play through, but nowadays she's kind of merged into Generic Paragon Shep who Romances Liara.

[Ashoken]

@Roamingmachine, Nice shot of the sniper contest!

@Jane Shepard, I never really think about the other voice acters who play FemShep in different languages. Is there any links to listen to Polina Shcerbakova's voice acting? I don't understand Russian, but I'd love to hear her voice.
