I don´t know if athies612 great femsehp plain face mod has ever been on this thread, so I´m just going to promote it now.

The ME3 deafult face is my personal favorie because of the redhair & freckles (how many game heriones do you know who has freckles?!?).

But with this mod, Jane does look like what I would imagine a person who has gone through hell & back. Aged, scarred & hasn´t slept right in a year...



There is also an option for a permanent scar (im using this). The right picture.



So yeah, go check the mod out, it really does Jane justice.   <3

Okay, reminder.
Please post a MAXIMUM of 5 pictures per post. A maximum of five means you don't HAVE to post five pictures every post. But if it's absolutely necessary for you to post multiple pictures, then make them a maximum of five.

This has gotten out of hand guys. Nobody's been following this rule as of late. There's no need to post two very similar pictures. As excited as we all are to share out pictures, this thread needs to be readable. Some of us view the thread on mobile. Having to take forever to load pictures that are not very interesting or special to look at is not cool. It also breaks the flow of the thread. If it's so important for you to post MORE than five pictures. Use the thumbnail feature of Photobucket. So people could click and view what they want to see at their own leisure. 

EDIT 
I'm also going to have to add to the rule, please don't post more than ONE picspam per page. Since people seem to be getting around the rule by posting multiple times on the same page without passing the pictures per post limit. Again, we're not trying to be annoying, but the thread needs to flow better. If somebody posts one post with text only, it's very easy to get lost in the mayhem with all the picspams. Plus of course, there are a lot of us, and if each and every one of us posts picspams multiple times, we haven't really solved the problem.
We did not put up this rule to be annoying, we put up this rule because this thread is NOT a slideshow. It's a thread to discuss the game and how it affects our FemSheps. Sometimes, we share INTERESTING pictures, not just post picspams.

Thank you.

ADDENDUM: If your nick is either Kyrene or Sinapus, you are exempt from this rule and any and all edits to it. The mere fact that you actually collected more than six pictures to spam once every 50 or so pages of this thread should be commended if not damn well celebrated!

@SaturnRing, you're welcome! Never heard of Watchdogs, but according to screenshots on Google, it kinda looks interesting. Hmm...

@razviolet, you're very welcome and great shots from Rannoch! That's the way to do it! Send the Reapers to hell!!!

@Tup3xi, I didn't expect soemthing else! The technological improvements of Kepler, compared to Fermi, are magnificent. Lower temperature, power consumption and less noise, but more performance! Nvidia just did a awesome job there!

raziel1980, thank you very much! Your female Shepard looks kind badass!


Standing side by side, doesn't matter what comes...and we are warriors and friends forever.

Apologies for being away for a few days and having missed some great FemSheps; been bingeing on ME3 but I've also had some PC problems (mostly due to my laptop overheating as a result of said binges ). Consequently, I've amassed a HUGE number of images of Jennifer's story since Palaven but equally far too many to post here. I'll try and find some way of hosting them so those who might be interested in following Jennifer's story can without me picspamming the thread. I've also tried writing up some of Jennifer's story but I really need to take a break from playing the game to catch up with everything from Grissom Academy, Sur'Kesh, Tuchunka, the Citadel coup as well as Jennifer's on-going romance triangle with Liara and Thane. When you consider I also have to work there just aren't enough hours in the day.

Anyway, here are five (hopefully) interesting pictures from Jennifer's recent adventures:

One from Sur'Kesh:

(Jennifer originally regarded 'Eve' merely as a bargaining chip necessary to cementing Turian support for Earth but through talking with the female krogan, Jennifer came to realise that 'Eve''s importance to the krogan far surpassed her mere fertility. Her friendship with Wrex meant she never gave the Dalatrass's proposal of sabotaging the genophage cure a second thought; Wrex had trusted her on Virmire and, with Mordin's help, now was the time to repay that trust, whatever the consequences.

Well, that's one way to start a maw hammer, I suppose:

Jennifer couldn't deny the real concerns of what a resurgent krogan empire might mean for whatever might be left of the galaxy once the Reapers had been destroyed, but if Eve and Wrex could wean the krogan off their appetites for violence and destruction who knew, maybe the krogan might once again scale the heights of civilisation that she had witnessed in the ancient krogan tunnels.

Post-Tuchunka, post dream #2:

Jennifer stared at her reflection in the mirror. She hardly recognised the woman who returned her gaze. Eden Prime seemed like a dozen lifetimes ago. Akuze two dozen. She had done so much but it hadn't been enough to prevent Earth burning under the Reapers. Garrus had told her to get some shut eye but she'd told him 'I'll sleep when I'm dead.' She was so tired but she couldn't afford to rest. Too many lives were depending on her.

I'm really impressed how Conrad Verner's storyline pays off in ME3:

So many seemingly inconsequential moments in the first two games and a character who just seems to be there for comic relief but in the end all the threads come together into something really very rewarding.

I gibbed the N7 hoodie into Jennifer's game specifically so she'd have something casual to wear on her 'date' with Garrus:

Normally on the Citadel Jennifer wears dress blues rather than her Alliance uniform, which she wears on the Normandy, but with the combo of pixie haircut and hoodie I was surprised just how much Jennifer looked - and felt - like a teenager here. I got a real Ellen Page/Juno vibe from her when she was shooting bottles with Garrus. (Naturally she let him win.)

Don't apologise, and don't stop posting pictures either. Nobody wants to see that happen.
We just know some people can't visit the thread when it's too heavy to load, and with the fanfic posts and the piles of pics, the scroll to the bottom of a page is LONG.

It doesn't need to be this way if everyone just keeps the rules in the back of their minds. Posting habbits don't rlly need to change much, just something to consider is all. We all want to share, and we all want to see others share.

@SebAusFR
Great! My Shepard also wanted to save the Geth from the Reapers. Legion helped her to understand them

Yes, you can take the patience to understand and make them potential allies in ME2, but suddently you have to do everything again. Actually that can trigger 2 types of reactions, I guess. I can understand that some players would be pissed off by the Geth changing their minds again, and that you could argue that they are actually less stable than the Quarians (contrary to what I argued from Kyla's pov)... But if you are fond of them, you understand their reasons and see the Quarians' attitute as extremism...

I loved reading about Kyla's thoughts on the geth and quarian conflict.

We used to be relatively synchronised in our playthroughs, but now you are ahead of me This does not affect your Sheps' awesomeness, of course!

Re: the Geths, there will be more as I progress. I have to play the server mission on Rannoch now, so there's going to be plenty of matter on Geth-related philosophy. Though, they might not be that original, Mercy and Kyla seems to have a similar relationship with the Geths

Thank you The scene to board the Geth ship is very well done and when I played it I remember of ME2's first scene immediatly. They are very similar: the same slow pace, the same semi-destroyed environement, the same kind of noises, etc. I imagine it would trigger some pretty bad memories about what happened when the Collectors destroyed the first Normandy.

I always liked the way Shep do the face-palm during her interview with Allers (your last pic). Poor Chiara having to reply mostly inadequate viewers' questions...

1. ELE recently answered this question: outside of texmodding a facial texture with toned down features, you could try applying lipstick to her and adjusting the colour of it. Because it overlays the facial texturing, which has the dark lipcolour for defaul Jane, it affects the lipcolour. It'd have to be very light, I'd assume, close to white maybe even.
2. None exists. There are some flags for ME1 in the ME2 and ME3 Gibbed, but for hair-changes etc, you'd have to hexedit. Tutorial by ELE as well here.

I didn't ask anyone to leave the thread, and nothing in my post indicated that I don't want people to post their femsheps. Heck it's half the fun to look at other Femsheps and discuss them and their stories.

All I asked for was moderation in doing so, having to scroll through walls of pictures to get to the text underneath is not very fun, especially if you have a slow internet connection or connect through mobiles or even just normally browsing the thread and wanting to participate in discussions. Again, all we ask for is moderation. 

Quitting the thread because old thread visitor pointed out that we should be moderate about the amount of picspams we share is not moderation, posting walls of pictures multiple times in the same page is not moderation.

Participating while posting pictures within the rules, coming up with Femshep questions, sharing art and discussing game, the story, our various headcanons, that's moderation and that's also pure awesomeness, because that's what the thread is about.

I really hope I haven't offended anyone, but like most of the Femsheppers here, new and old, I just want our thread to be an awesome place for us to enjoy our Femsheps beyond the game's limitations and see how we all have different takes on our different characters. 

Now excuse me while I go count how many times I wrote moderation in this post.

Why have you sent Javik to the corner? Look at him, his face stuck to the wall...         

He's probably sulking because Jennifer won't let him put EDI out of the airlock.

Actually, that's one of the more significant differences I'm finding in Jennifer's Redux playthrough. Originally she encouraged Joker and EDI's love affair but then it felt kind of bad when she had to destroy EDI in the end. So, this time around she's taken the opposite path; actively discouraging them from pursuing a romantic relationship together; forbidding EDI to dress in human clothes because that blurs the line between what EDI is (a synthetic AI) and what it appears to be (a sexy robo-lady). She still encourages EDI make its own decisions, telling it it's a machine but one that has to choose for itself what choices to make. There was a very disturbing moment in their last conversation where EDI suggested it might be in its self interest to side with the Reapers, and I suddenly wondered if not following the Joker/EDI romance might be about to bite Jennifer on the ass, which would have been an interesting consequence, but thankfully I suspect that's a path BW didn't want to go down. Would have been a terrific twist though.

Another significant difference is Jennifer letting the VS back onboard the Normandy. First time round Jennifer sent Ashley to Hackett but for the Redux game she's allowed Kaidan back. But then having to tell Kaidan that she wasn't interested in him romantically anymore (she'd kind of flirted with him in ME1 before Liara turned her head) she's kind of regretting that decision because she felt so bad letting him down after the Udina affair. Perhaps part of the problem is she never had the 'break up' scene with him and Liara in ME1 because I left it too late to rescue Liara so he still thought there was a chance for them?

Annoyingly, I've discovered that even though Thane's dead and Jennifer's 'locked in' her romance with Liara (the 'being "friends" doesn't cut it for me' conversation) whenever she tries to speak to Liara on the Normandy she still gets the 'I know you've gone back to Thane' rebuke. I'm trying to figure how to resolve this, either by just biting the bullet and having the rebuke before locking in the romance on the Citadel (and headcannoning as a sort of lovers' tiff) or possibly - and I need to explore this - using Gibbed to edit the Bool Variable value for breaking up with Thane (ThaneBreakup: PlotIDSet=(3310)), which I'm assuming shouldn't have any impact on the game as Thane's dead (Jennifer already received Thane's last email). I guess she could just avoid talking to Liara but that seems a bit out of character really and I wonder how many other conversations she might miss out on. Some things are just sent to try us, aren't they?

PS. I really want to give a shout out to razviolet's account of Mercy's visit to Citadel on page 734. I really, really enjoyed reading that. :happy:

Yes, the Quarians are all about extremes!

-----------------------------
Kyla was not in what one would call a "pleasant" mood when she boarded the Normandy. Fortunately, the  Quarians were too focused on destroying the dreadnought to fire on their lone fighter. It was easy for Joker and EDI to catch them up.

Kyla was so in rage that after having removed the armour and combat gear, she skipped the usual washroom part to go straigh ahead to the command centre, where the Quarian admirals were still waiting. Apparently, they had found in the Normandy a handy stealth command centre... that was about to change. She walked in with a very controled fashion, full of cold rage, to eventually empty on Admiral Han'Gerrel. The Quarian was quickly quicked out of the Normandy, or rather "invited to leave as quickly as possible". And there was Daro'Xen, who wanted to study Legion. Kyla raised her voice again (was Daro'Xen not paying attention whe she kicked Han'Gerrel?) and the admiral was invited to leave too, albeit more politely than Han'Gerrel...

Fortunately Admiral Shala'Raan was much more reasonnable, so she was allowed to stay, with Tali, acting as the liaison between the Quarians and the Normandy. Something about Quarian women maybe? Seeing how Han'Gerrel had acted during what could have turned into a wholesome fiasco, Kyla started to consider that there were a few parallels between the Quarians and the Krogans, notably in terms of how their males had to show off to compensate for the poor situation their respective species found themselves in. She also had grown increasingly frustrated with both species... Of course, she was not a psychologist, and it was more her gut feeling speaking than anything else. After having to spacewalk and being bombarded while upon an ennemy ship, one could expect her gut feeling might not be the best judge...



A few hours passed, while she was tried to figure out what to do with the Quarians. In the system, the battle was still raging. Perhaps Han'Gerrel wanted to make a point, or had something to prove? The Normandy remained hidden at midpoint between the civilian fleet and the main combat sector. That is when the news came in that Admiral Zaal'Koris had crashed on Rannoch, and that the civilian fleet was growing increasingly distressed. They spoke of trying to break in to the mass relay, but EDI assured that only the Normandy could do such a thing: the Geths had set up an efficient blockade.  Admiral Shala'Raan insisted that Zaal'Koris should be rescued, and Kyla agreed.

Althought she had not completely recovered in terms of mood (the hot shower and chocolate in her quarters were, apparently, not enough), she realised that Zaal'Koris was one of the most reasonnable person on the board. Actually, she remembered the conversation they had had on the Migrant Fleet, while she was still after the Collectors; Zaal'Koris wanted the Quarians to focus on colonising new planets. Kyla had vehemently agreed, already saying that a war against the Geths would be suicidal. That was even before she met Legion, and had her mind on the Geths changed completely.

So she set up to operate a stealth injection on Rannoch to rescue Zaal'Koris. While she was doing her last preparation in her quarters, Tali came to her.

"-Shepard? I-- can I ask you something?"
"-Sure Tali, what's on your mind?"
"-Well... Who are you taking with you on the mission?"
"-Garrus and EDI. I need you and Shala'Raan to keep cooling of the fleet's ambitions, especially that idiot Han'Gerrel."

Tali moved away slighty, in a sort of awe. It was both a good and bad thing that you could not see her facial expressions behind this mask...

"-Shepard... you-- you are going to land... on the Homeworld! This is something that we have been waiting for three of your centuries! I would... I would like..."
Kyla frowned a bit, but replied in a soft voice:
"-Join me?"
"-Yes."

Kyla remained silent for a few seconds. Tali was visibly juddering.

"-Tali, I would very much like to allow you to do that, but I will have to say no..." raising a hand to silence the mounting complaint "look at you... I have the feeling this mission is quite important for the fleet's future. Zaal'Koris is a peace-maker, we need more of those to counter the angry segments of your people. But Rannoch, the Homeworld, it's a very touchy subject for you. I know that. That's why I cannot take the risk of having your emotions overwhelm you by taking you on Rannoch. I need clear-headed people at 100%, and I have the feeling that this would not be the case if I took you with me. That would be dangerous for yourself, and the rest of the team, myself included. Don't you think?"
"-I-- I guess. It is true, since we arrived in the system, I have been waiting for an occassion to set a foot on the Homeworld. It is so close... almost within the reach of one's hand."
"-Tali, look at me. I promise you will come with me when we hit at the Reapers' base. I know I just said I too much emotions would be dangerous in a critical missions, but here there's a kind of emergency. You will have enough time to prepare for the assault, and I will need your technical expertise. I will take you with me then."
"-Alright Shepard..."

Tali looked down, and started to walk away.
"-Tali? I... Keelah se'lai."


[Yes, I know, the screen is from an earlier scene, but I though it was appropriate given the context ]

Cortez dropped Kyla's team relatively far from their first objective, as the area was heavily defended by automated anti-air guns. After all the bad blood that had followed her return on the Normandy, Kyla realised she had forgotten to reset her armour's colouring nano-particules. There had been no time to generate a new pattern before leaving for Rannoch, so she shrugged off and left with a mostly black gear. Fortunately, the location of Zaal'Koris's crash landing was near the terminator, so the luminosity was reduced. She would not stand out of the scenery. Not too much, at least.


[Liked the in-universe explanation for forgetting to change her colours? :P]

Zaal'Koris took heat from the Geth long enough for Kyla to come to his rescue. The admiral insisting saving his people, civilians, instead of himself, refusing for a time to broadcast his coordinates. As much as she would have wanted to save civilians, Kyla needed Zaal'Koris and no one else. His survival was crucial and stabilising the civilian fleet and stopping them from making yet another stupid mistake! She had to talk him down on the radio; not exactly the most pleasant part of her day, but it worked. She was relieved when Zaal'Koris jumped into the shuttle and Cortez flew away. What was it with crucial people wanting to sacrifice themselves? Zaal'Koris now, Mordin a few weeks earlier... As they were flying off to the Normandy's relative safety, the realisation stuck her hard:

"Damn. I would have done exactly the same thing..."




[Edit - Sorry, I had hoped this post would end in a new page not to clutter page 742... Failed :mellow:]

Hey all, I want to apologize again for the picspam. I get so excited about my Sheps, I forget that others may not be so enthusiastic about my methods of sharing. I won't inundate you guys with it anymore, but if anyone wants to see my collection of screenshots they mostly live here now: http://s1171.photobu...r558/AscheFire/

I know I haven't contributed much else to this community, but I've really enjoyed hanging out here. Thanks for that. Take care, everyone!

There's no need to apologize. MizzNaaa is right, the amount of pictures was getting out of hand, but then again, in the two months that I post here, I've seen no one complain about it. Not a single person. So in other words, you did absolutely nothing wrong and I hope you keep posting here, because I don't know about everybody else, but I liked to read your posts and I thought the screenshots you posted were great.

I really hope I haven't offended anyone, but
like most of the Femsheppers here, new and old, I just want our thread
to be an awesome place for us to enjoy our Femsheps beyond the game's
limitations and see how we all have different takes on our different
characters. 

Well, to be honest, I did think for a minute: "Who the hell is she to tell us what to do and to decide what this thread is about?" The others were quick to agree with you and I admit that, indeed, the amount of pictures was getting out of hand, but there was absolutely no need for such an forceful approach. Contrary to some areas of BSN, this thread isn't visited by little children who benefit from strict rules to keep a thread from derailing. Not to say you can't voice your opinion, but please do so in a friendly manner. I think the last page shows yet again that this thread is visited by easygoing, reasonable people who can talk about a problem and quickly come to the agreement that, in this case, a bit of self-moderation is needed. It also shows that an aggressive approach sometimes only serves to alienate people.

(I hope that I don't sound too accusatory myself. I noticed that I'm getting better at English since I've started posting here, but sometimes I still have trouble phrasing things right, causing my posts to sound more hostile or aggressive than I intended to, especially in these sort of discussions. So if that is the case here: my apologies.)
