I have no idea what you mean with "I've backed up and rename bgm/bnpt; extracted modded bgm/bnpt to config.- still nothing." line. Are you sure you are editing the correct files? In ME1 case it's BIOInput.ini located in C:UsersUsernameDocumentsBioWareMass EffectConfig (assuming that you use Windows 7 or Vista and your OS partition in C).

Yeah, i've backed up BIOInput and BIOGame form EffectConfig(window 7). [ini?] doesn't show on my files; or i'm looking at the wrong one.

You know what, this is probably best to handle with PM's (wait a bit).

@LadyAly, I agree with you on this! To be honest, it is one of my favourite moments of her, because she looks so magical. You know, I've been a Unreal fanboy since 14 years and a big fan of Mass Effect Universe since 2007/2008. Regarding this, when I played Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 for the first time, I lost some tears from time to time. In case of Mass Effect 3, I lost a lot of tears, because it is just so fabulous and breathtaking.

@razviolet, you're very welcome!

Makes sense kinda to me, hehe. However, I never tried that much Renegade before. Probably I should do something about this!

Yeah she looks wonderful in that picture and I really love this one! And to be honest, I do something like this myself...from time to time...just to get my mind and thoughts clean.

By the way, go ahead and take a drink with Tali! I wished that would be possible in this moment!


Javik just got the idea of visiting the Citadel, because he never been there. Despite that, he wasn't sure what to think about this, a prothean standing alive on the Citadel. I told him, even when it didn't look like much, it would be a victory itself. He probably didn't put that much belief in my words, but I think he got my point. Nevertheless, a moment later a hanar realized that Javik was a prothean and reacted to his company. Seconds later a asari and turian joined our talk. Javik didn't really try to give hope to them, but I reminded him, what's important now and everything took a nice end.

Oof, I just got back from watching the The Dark Knight Rises. i have so many feels right now

@ Akari Tenshi
I'm guilty of the same thing really, but mostly because I want to use the same character over and over. =P
Athalya looks great by the way. Did you edit the second picture in any way? Her hair looks very pretty and vibrant in the second shot!

@ SebAusFR
I tried the defaultshep texture once on Olivia for giggles, and the result was.. interesting.
I suppose I find it difficult to get a texture to look good if I cant see it in the CC!

@ Raziel1980
Wow, really? You must have a great laptop then! I'm used to laptops falling apart and barely functioning.
And thank you so much!
I hope Gabriella makes it into ME2!

@ LadyAly
Ooh,  your Sheps look great, and diverse too.
Mine always end up similar in one way or another. I suppose I know what facial shape I like. =P

Since I mentioned my friend earlier, I felt like sharing his canon FemShep, Catherine:

He hasn't got round to ME3 yet, though, but when he does I might corner him into this thread.

Laptops failing... I've cooked two GeForce 6800 Go MXM module laptop GPU's in oven to fix them and tweaked their cooling to prevent overheating. Ahh... Good old days. Oblivion run rather nicely.

Hi again. Here is my next Shepard, Adia, a tough Earth born soldier.



Adia Shepard did not come from privilege; she was an orphan, raised in one of Earth’s overpopulated mega-cities. While humanity was progressing in leaps and bounds in the stars, somehow the benefits haven’t yet filtered down to Adia or her poverty ridden community. It was obvious she needed to escape, but how? Aida was smart, but not in the way required to get a scholarship. The corporates were more interested in exploration and eezo mining then the Earth’s forsaken unprofitables. And all business needed to go through the de facto government of the gang syndicates and their oppressive enforcers. The only place Adia Shepard could see a future was the Alliance military, and so she enlisted.



Adia was a dedicated soldier, noted by her field officers for her tactical skills and adaptive problem solving, but otherwise just another grunt. This change for Adia during the Skyllian Blitz. When criminal gangs backed by the Batarian Hegemony assaulted the civilian colony on Elysium, it was a reminder of the oppression Adia had longed to escape during her youth. This was personal, and it drove Adia’s determination to hold back the offensive despite only having a few civilian resistance fighters. Her success had awarded Adia with the Star of Terra, and also with a new life purpose to fight oppression wherever it occurs.



The Cerberus propaganda had seemed attractive at first – promising to defend humanity against the threats that seemed to be everywhere. But growing up in a tough neighbourhood had made Adia suspicious of anyone selling anything, and it didn’t take Adia long to discover the true brutality behind Cerberus. For Adia, taking down the Illusive man and dismantling his organization is another goal in her life quest.



edit: changed the last pic because I realised she was leaning forward in all of them. All of the pics are at s1261.photobucket.com/albums/xbb1024/masseffect3/Adia/

Say hello to Kate. Spacer, war hero, paragon and vangard. She adores Liara. I just imported her to ME2 last week.
360 version, no mods.

Umm... Interesting way to post to say the least.

[MizzNaaa]

@Bruce-88, welcome to the Femshep thread! We're glad to have you around, and very nice Femshep. However, posting 10 pictures in different posts, is considered spam both by us, thread visitors, and the BSN rules. It could actually get you banned.

Also, here in the thread we a rule, we post a MAXIMUM of 5 pictures per post. If you need to post more, then use the thumbnail feature in Photobucket, this way, the thread could be easily readable by people who have slow internet, browsing the thread through mobile...or even just want to read through, so it doesn't hinder the readability of the thread. Also, we're more about discussing FemShep than posting pictures of her, so tell us a bit more about your Femshep? Does she have a backstory? Do share!

Well... that's one way around the "5 pics per post" rule, I guess? (kidding)

Anyway, few snapshots of my recent FemShep, Rachel (Adept, Colonist, Ruthless, Paragon/Paragade) - she is a default ME3 Shep, but I'm seriously considering taking her back at least to ME2 (and using Gibbed to mod the hell out of her ME1 data) and restarting the character, since I've found that doing a 'default character' playthrough in ME3 quite frankly... sucks:

Btw Tup: Tiia and the Hockey game - Hilarious. Well done.
@LadyAly & SebAusFR: agree with you for the way weapons are shown in cut scenes. My salvation came from the fact that both Avenger and Predator are among my favorite. I use them both most of the time.
@LennethValkyrie: Elaine looks really good.
@VaLkyR_Anubis: Observing Javik on the citadel got me thinking: what could have prompted the REaper invasion in his cycle? Their primary motivation is harvest - when the civilization in question has achieved an acceptable level of technology - combined with the risk of a potential conflict with Synthetics. I can't help but notice how much more advanced Protheans were before they were exterminated. Same for those preceding them. They probably did show more 'wisdom' in dealing with sentient species(or never gave VIs an opportunity to develop into full AIs until late in their cycle).  Shepard cycle represents some kind of Synthetic Renaissance.
@Audience: Catherine is beautiful.
@xbb1024: i like Adia; her features are so unique.
@Bruce-88: I find Kate gorgeous and very original; the shots capture her during various defined expressions.
@AVPen: I think it would be cool to take Rachel back to ME1 and 2. She came out of ME3 cc looking really stunning.

It could also be that they "matured" earlier. Viktus says that there's 15,000 years of Turian civilisation, if you consider that he counts from the invention of writting (a classical way to count the beginning of "civilisation"), we only have 6,000 or so years behind us. By that count, the Asaris must have 50,000+ years behind them, but they are a special case because of their immense longevity (the Protheans are 50 asari "lifetimes" away... 50 human lifetimes, taking 80 years--which is probably too much--, is "only" 2,000 BCE). The Protheans could have been relatively close to reaching a civilised states when their predecessor's cycle ended, and have evolved (techno-culturally speaking) quickly afterwards.

Also, since they unified the Galaxy under a single state, they must have benefited from that in terms of technology. The current Galaxy is divided, there's no focused global policy. The Protheans had that, and probably for a good number of centuries.

You might be right about their approach to synthetics and AIs. Javik is very distrustful of synthetics, but he's probably not representative of his people's earlier mindset. Their VIs seems to be quite advanced compared to the ones that are currently in use in the Galaxy. Victory seems to take a large ammount of liberties compared to what Javik was telling him to do...

You make a very good point. Using time references is somewhat relative. As Krogan's example also shows: without Salarian influence they never would have developped so quickly.
There is so much contradiction in that claim from the reapers that civilizations develop on an anticipated path - which will lead to Reaper invasion; the galaxy is doomed to extermination by design?!

Thanks. Adia is face type 1, and she was the Shepard I had the most difficulty with getting to look right. I'm thinking of giving her a slightly larger jaw during the next iteration.

I actually think that social evolution happens the fastest where there is competition, and thus the need for continueous change. Under a single stable state, there would not be the same drive for advancement because the state would not have a desire to change the status quo.

The same would go with life expectancy. If the Asari did have such long lives, then the same political elite would be in power for a longer time and advancement within the social hierarchy would be slower. This would make thier society more stable, but also not as dynamic as the Salarians. Of corse, I'm making a comment about an alian race so my observations may not be valid.

But I agree that the Protheans would be more advanced simply because they 'matured' earlier during thier cycle.

There also seems to be some level of cultural bleeding though each cycle. The Protheans past on some of thier knowledge to early Asari. The plans for the Crucible were passed on between the cycles. It could be that even despite the periodic mass extinctions, some level of cultural evolution still continues across cycles.

Well, the Reapers leave enough evidence of the previous cycles so that new species have access to their technology and use it. It is not a dumb strategy, because you can expect that when a species finds a relatively easy way to expand in space, they will use it. And the mass effect technology is pretty much everywhere, showing how versatile it is. However, it is impossible to guarantee that, at one point in time, there will not be any species that devellopes FTL and mass effect-like technology completely on its own. The problem of course, is that they will probably be wiped out too well before their independent technology is advanced enough to fight the Reapers efficiently.

True, if there is no competition they would end stagnating. But Javik mentions competitions, so even though the Protheans unified the Galaxy, there was always some species that poped out and tried to break their rule.  So they were not completely stagnant. Actually, they might have become very advanced before and while conquering the whole Galaxy and then leaped forward again during the Metacon war.

I actually think that the Asari are not more advanced than they are right now precisely because of their long lives. If they were having the same life expectency as humans, they might be simialr to the Protheans in terms of technology. They might not have conqured the Galaxy of course, because their culture is different (and would be again, if they were "short"-lived), but they would most probably have been able to equate the Protheans by now. Maybe that was a "design oversight" by the Protheans when they shaped the Asaris to be the future's cycle dominant species?

I'm picturing a Galaxy dominated by hyper-advanced Salarians now
