And great montage! It's already a special scene, but it gets even better when you manage to catch your LI. I'm curious though, how does the game decide which squad mate you're going to catch? Is it the order in which you pick them (on the select squad screen) or something else entirely? I've never been able to figure that out.

Generally it's the squadmate you choose second. If the icon is on the right side, then that's the one you're going to catch. If you reload the game and the icon switches spots, then whoever is on the right is the new person you catch. There's a nifty analysis on creating this kind of outcome.

WIth 'icon on the right', do you mean the little portraits at the bottom side of the screen?

And thanks for the link.  Bookmarked it for future reference; it will definitely come in handy the next time I undertake the suicide mission.

Edit: Damn, top post. Two more Ayla screens then:





Happy seeing Liara again. (No romance, though.)

Aye, bottom portraits. This is my favorite bookmark for the suicide mission. Nice little diagram you can follow for outcomes: =D

Actually, you can access it in ME1. Not sure about "PlayersOnly" though.

Sagequeen's blog has some instructions on it.

Ah, here it is... I think.


Another person had some screenshots while killing Thresher Maws (on foot?!) that might have been made with the "playersonly" option but I don't know how to edit the appropriate files for ME1 to do that.

(Actually, it's been over a year since I played ME1 so I'm not sure what the commands are. The files are still edited on my computer's install, though.)

Was it you who kept singing the praises of the Falcon, Gilsa? Because I decided to give it a try (I like the way it looks and I don't want to snipe *all* the time) and it's really fun. Makes me miss my grenade launcher from ME2 ;u;

[raziel1980]

Thanks to those who commented on gabby's ME 1 pics...I'm gonna change it up here and post some of my current ME 2 character whom I'm trying to finish up this weekend...Stacia but first comments on others femsheps!

@Mizzy: Lovely shots of Jennifer...looks liek your ready to advance into ME 2 now...I will catch up with you guys soon... 

@ottemis : LOL...nice, btw Marie is quite striking with her dark complexion and green eyes... 

@red: AWESOME, I was watching....looks like it's Arrival then onto ME 3 ? :happy:

@Rikketik : Lovely pair of femsheps you have there...I'm different from you in that I LOVE Destroy and REFUSE to pick synthesis...although I suspect that is because NONE of my femsheps like 'middle-grounding' issues. 

@Ravii : Your Jane is Very cute...can't wait to see how her story develops over time. 

@kuoleman: Nice femshep there as well...and welcome to the thread. 

Now...Time for ME 2 Stacia Pics...Illium Run( with the exception of LoSB obviously).

Sometimes the Asari REALLY like to shoot their mouths off...


Miri's LM...Stacia's BFF btw...




Thane Recruitment...




Samara Recruitment...




edit: @yuki : yes, it was her the sung the praises of that one...I personally prefer the saber...but the falcon is very effective in it's own right. Kaidan absolutely owns with it...though I think I prefer him with the Revenant( thanks red for that tip).

Hahaha, yessssss. Glad to see you like it so much. It makes me somewhat lazy with using powers because I just want to bounce the grenades off walls, door frames, anywhere. Too bad it's acquired so late (Chronos, I think?), which is why I think it gets overlooked. It can take a long time to save up for the black widow on the first game and then just want to totally focus on it for a second game, y'know?

And I know other weapons do the same thing, but I just like the Falcon's plume of smoke and the red hot casings when the weapon reloads. Just gives it a little more oooomph, imo.

FIRST : thx for all the nice comments on the last series of Mel Pics

@MizNaa Baby Shot eh ? love it:)
@Tup3xi Interesting shot of Tiia's behind:P  I suppose nothing can ruin this

@SebAusFR Nice series - especially the *Terminator* shot - she is scary if in rage

@meonlyred I so agree to this Armor -- I want - I want- I want *stomps*

@SaturnRing Oh very nice work

@raziel1980 Gabby in ME1 looks simply great  - Stacia'S ME2 run - she is such a beasty Shep. You can see the *don't mess with me* all around her.
@Ravii Oh Gosh -- she is so cute:O Can't wait to see more of Jane

@Syrdeth Woahhhh - catching Garrus series is amazing - and I agree fullhearted to your statement that this is just the charm of ME:happy:

@Rikketik woot - Ayla is a stunning blue eyed Shep.  Can't wait for the stories - and I like the name you chosed for her.
@kuoleman Genevieve is beautiful - and welcome if you posted the first time here:happy:

@yukidama  Love this shot - looks like she could blow the whole cave up 
@Gilsa - Yeah - the ooomph is great and your pic too <3

Mel's journey to the final stage continues - more bitter then ever

I think you can see in her gaze she is so well aware of what can happen the next minutes ...


Liara .... !!!!!!!!


Go - GO - you will only slow me down ... but.. tell Samantha I love her - always will ...

@ELE08, @Sinapus THANKS!!! You guys rock. I had seen Sage's tutorials for ME2 &3 but just assumed it was never a feature available for the first game. ... Now it's going to take much, much longer to get through a playthrough.

[Sinapus]

Well, as I said there doesn't appear to be an equivalent of "PlayersOnly" (the command that stops the game so you can move the camera and get action shots and such) so it won't take quite as long as ME2 or 3, I guess.

[LadyAly]

okay - and here comes the very last part from Mel.
I liked her ending decision - she wanted EDI and Joker giving a future - both are like sipplings to her.

Forcing TIM to shoot himself - she was so strong in the end


its done ...


Synthesis ?


and the final decision


Sam ...


(( honestly EDI's VA and this scene let me have teary eyes ))

Haha, I still have that, don't worry. So so so recognizable =P Me, starting up ME1 again after ages the other day..
"Mizz?"
- "Yes?"
"How do you get out of the Mako again?"

Also, I actually remapped awesomebutton into ME1, because I get horribly KB tied when I migrate on to ME2 otherwise. Now when I sprint to a door, it closes before I reach it =D So Marie spends most her time running into them fullforce.

She looks good! Mesa likey =)


@LadyAly : Great shots hun, no regrets!
@raziel1980 : Thanks =D I really like that hair on Stacia btw, she's my fave after Allison I think.

There is, works the same as in ME2 and 3. I could look it up for you? Wait up.. Btw if this has been said and done, I'm blind and ignore me. So, in \\Documents\\BioWare\\Mass Effect\\Config\\BIOInput.ini  -- Under Bindings in [BIOC_Base.BioPlayerInput]
Bindings=(Name="NumPadOne",InputMode=BIO_INPUT_MODE_NONE,Command="PlayersOnly",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)

Bindings=(Name="NumPadThree",InputMode=BIO_INPUT_MODE_NONE,Command="ToggleFlyCam",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)

Now a tiny Marie update before the end of this post, I played BDtS yesterday and while I thought I wouldn't let Balak live, I let him go in the end and saved the hostages. Funnily, Raine, with her corruption itch didn't even think about it, it seems Marie is a bit more complex. The situation redeemed itself through dialogue afterwards in a way I'd not seen before but fits Marie like a glove.

@Ottemis LOL - I so know what you mean. As I started play Chiara in ME1 - I was like - darn... DARN... Cursing like a pirate. I forgot so much of the mechanics *giggle* Besides I hate the Mako deeply and very often I just did throw the damn thing into walls etc...

and thanks - No regrets ^^

 Hey, i plan on doing one more, true canon Shepard:

NAME: Katherine "Kate" Shepard (you get this right?)
class: Infiltrator
PRE-SERVICE HISTORY: N.Y.D. (not yet decided)
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Sole Survivor
HAIR: red, usually tied into a ponytail
EYES: Green
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Lesbian (Exclusively)

BACKGROUND: will involve her telling someone Close to her about her Sexual identity, then said person betraying that trust:

• Spacer: Katherine Tells her mom, then her mom tells people, betraying her trust, and tries to set her up with daughters of some friends of theirs. She does get a few dates, but nothing steady.
• Colonist: Her crush, who keeps it a secret. but then she tells Katherine's parents and things are awkward between after that.
• Earthborn: She is kind of caught with her pants down, literally, while reading a 'dirty' magazine (they still have playboy, right?) by finch and she confesses her homosexuality. Finch tries to help her find a girlfriend, accidently outing her. She punches Finch in the face, breaking his nose, then runs away.

so that is about it for my next Shepard. thoughts, ideas, comments?

[Ottemis]

Hard to give an opinion on, and I probably shouldn't, but if that's your planned portrayal of a lesbian, it's a bit erm, insulting, as it stands. While it's completely within your right to enjoy the game as you want, and I really don't want to stand in your way, I think your line of thinking is typical to that of a male thinking up a back-story for a (lesbian) female.

I particularly have an issue picturing a female with her hands down her pants staring at a magazine with naked girls in it.
We erm, are not wired the same as men. Not to say we can't appreciate a pretty picture, just unlikely to pleasure outselves to it in such a fashion. I might be wrong there and generalising too much.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but if you care about a shep enough to want to give her a more accurate portrayal of a lesbian female in this case, I'd definately work on it some more =) If you just wanna have some casual fun, that's great, if it floats your boat, have at it. Fair givings.

Not sure if I showed this to you guys, but I've got a fiction in the making called Duet Effect. It's in my signature if youre interested in reading. It features my Fem!shep and my Bro!Shep as twins while hunting down Saren.

Name: Katelyn "Kat" Shepard
Birth name: Jane Aldrin
class: Sentinal
Pre-Service History: Earthborn
Pyschological Profile: Ruthless
Hair: Black, chin-length, straight, swept to the right.
Eye Colour: Ice blue.
Love Interest: Kaidan
Family: Jonathan "John" Shepard (Real name: Rohan Aldrin) - Twin brother.

Background:
Having spent their lives on the streets of Vancouver, Kat and John sold their skills out to the highest bidder inc. their biotic talents. Kat was more level headed and John was more agressive. While under the employ of the Tenth Street Reds, they betrayed the gang to the local authorities for refusing to pay for their services. A few days later, they were approached by a man in an Alliance uniform who not only offered them training, but a place where their skills and abilities would be properly appreciated. Without even a shred of remorse or regret, the twins accepted the offer.

@ raziel1980: Thank you! And I honestly thought I would like Destroy better than I ultimately did, but alas.

Great shots of Stacia, love the "Charlie's Angels" pose in Miranda's loyalty mission... although Garrus stands out a bit.

@ LadyAly: Thank you, too, and wonderful shots of Mel. Sad to see her go, but I like her decision (I am biased, though ). I do feel a little bad for Sammy, although I'm glad they gave her a slide and a scene at the memorial wall of her own. And hey, I cried too when EDI and Shepard's LI hugged. Of course Jennifer Hale is still the queen of the VA's in my book, but Tricia Helfer isn't far behind. Letting her and Hale both narrate one of the endings was one of the best decisions BioWare has made when it comes to the EC, I think.

NAME: Katherine "Kate" Shepard (you get this right?)
class: Infiltrator
PRE-SERVICE HISTORY: N.Y.D. (not yet decided)
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Sole Survivor
HAIR: red, usually tied into a ponytail
EYES: Green
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Lesbian (Exclusively)

BACKGROUND: Katherine is a lesbian, though she rarely showed any interest in anyone, male or female. Even her fellow soldiers tried to set her up and she turned them all down, claiming she was waiting for 'ms. right'. Growing romance was just something she did not frankly want to bother with.

• As a spacer, Hannah, her mother, finds out and is ok with it, considering they have a strong mother-daughter bond. This bond persisted despit Katherine's mother trying to set her up, no matter how hard she would insist she did not want do go out with anyone. However, she did go on a few dates here and there, but never saw any prospects for the next "Mrs. Shepard"
• As a Colonist, Her parents knew she liked other girls and tried to help her become more, attractive. She never liked it, wanting to stay out of the spotlight. there was one girl who was attracted to her, but that relationship never worked out.
• As Earthborn, Shepard rarely talked to anyone but Finch, so she told him. the two had a fight and Shepard ended up crying into her pillow. a girl who was a year older comforted her ans the two developed a near-romantic bond.

here is a refined version. if ti is still leaning towards a "typical" guy thought of a lesbian, i am sorry for being a guy.

Haha don't be, I'm sorry for being so awkward about it. It's completely logical you'd have certain lines of thinking, it just matters if you'd want to 'get it right'. So to speak.
Hell, I can't really put myself in a guy's position either, being a girl. We're just wired differently.

I personally like it where she goes from very closed off introverted to open extroverted about it in the colonist line, though maybe thinking of a trigger for that flip would be cool.
The Earthborn line sounds more natural now too imo.

You changed Kat to Kate? Like both, Kat is cool though.

Personally, I don't see FemShep as the kind of woman who's defined by her sexual orientation. She may be heterosexual or homosexual depending on one's preferences ,but that's it. She's statuesque in my eyes, a tough strong woman who definately didn't sign up to the alliance just cause her mom find out she's lesbian.  I guess what I'm trying to say is that it seems you focused too much on developing her sexual background that you're missing out on what's really important. How did she become the woman she is now?
Background profiles suggest that Shep was under entirely different circumstances and lifestyle since she was a kid, but all you're focusing on is the fact that she was a homosexual. You don't give much room for the character's development. 

Buuut, that's just my opinion. What matters is what you think , after all she's your soon to be canon.

EDIT : Been a lurker here for a while and honestly I'm here for the cookies, but I gotta say this...I MISS ASCHE!! I WANT MOAR ASCHE!

NAME: Katherine "Kate" Shepard (you get this right?)
class: Infiltrator
PRE-SERVICE HISTORY:Spacer
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Sole Survivor
HAIR: red, usually tied into a ponytail
EYES: Green
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Lesbian (Exclusively)

BACKGROUND: Katherine is a lesbian, though she rarely showed any interest in anyone, male or female. Even her fellow soldiers tried to set her up and she turned them all down, claiming she was waiting for 'ms. right'. Growing up, romance was just something she did not frankly want to bother with. Gowing up the daughter of two soldiers, Shepard developed a close relationship with her mother. When she mentioned her interest in other girls beyond friendship her mother understood and accepted her. Though Hannah wanted Katherine to find love, she understood that it was her daughter's decision, and helped her develop friendships with some of the other soldier brats. Following her mother's Example, Katherine became a member of the Systems Alliance Navy. It was until Akuze that she thought she was perfect, when she lost a lot of good friends. Her mother came to look for her when she was found in a bar, getting wasted over the Akuze deal. After a stern talking to from her mother, Katherine decided to sober up and accept further commands, trying her hardest not to lose anyone. She was then transferred to captain David Anderson's command, joining the crew of the normandy on her maiden voyage.

sorry if it was bad at first, but the idea was to focus on that at the start to show how it ties into her relationships with her friends/family/fellow soldiers. i never had a background profile chosen for her so it was harder to develop those relationships if i endedup choosing something different. her sexual orientation was just a part of her overall history, and i felt it shoud be mentioned in the Background and not just "This is how she became the woman she is. Oh and just to get it out there, she will romance a woman"
