Wow Red linked it because it was a spoiler and now everyone's just oenly talking about it. SPOILER FREE PLEASE!

How does talking about a random encounter with a kid in ME3 spoil the game?  Discussing game content doesn't equal spoiler IMO.

As for femshep, I just did a marathon ME1 playthrough with a femgineer and am already well into ME2.  Getting pumped up for ME3 demo!  Good times!

Pertaining to the twit that was linked, it equates to being a possible major spoiler in the character development of Shepard. The kid has been discussed on several occasions and a theory about the kid has came up. That twit pretty much confirms that theory. Some here do not want to know any information such as that. In respect to their wishes, I linked the information, posted a warning, and am asking that it is not discussed openedly in the thread.

@Silverman,
You tease!!

That was my biggest fear with Bioware paying more attention to femShep. They would alter her appearance to be more "feminine" and "sexy" and give her gear drastically different from manShep simply because she was female.

The default is certainly attractive, but fierce and powerful looking.

So, nothing like B-Ko's Akagiyama-23 suit from Project A-ko? The Dirty PaLovely Angel's 3WA uniform?



(Eep. Just aged myself again.)



More seriously, I hope Femshep's armor is not like this and more like this. (With helmet on.)

(Yes, that's the character Elf Shepard is roughly based on. Remember: Hell hath no fury like a woman in power armor.)

@Silverman WHAT

[CrazyRah]

Hah wow.. so i head to bed to get some sleep and sure as hell stuff happens! Don't really know where to begin.

About the trailer, i knew it was coming out before the demo. It didn't make any sense at all to release it after the demo. That it's probably coming within the next few days makes me very giddy and excited.

The other tweet.. i suspected that it would be like that. I approve.


Better suit up and be ready!

If I'm not mistaken, it's actually a structural weakness in the armor.

Because you have a concave point right at your breastbone, it's weaker than a convex structure (like lady hawke's). If you took a major blow to the chest (like a warhammer or a rocket) it could buckle inward and crush your sternum.

I'm basing that off of blogs I've read like this one. It comes down to a solid, outwardly bent piece of metal/heavy plastic/whatever will take any pressure outward, but boob armor creates an unnecessary seam that could fold in on itself.

I've always found that blog funny when people pull it out in this arguement. Right after the blogger points out how boob armor can have a structural weakness, they say Mass Effect did a good job with the female armor.

The way the cheastpiece is designed is well spread and is not resting directly on the sternum. It isn't as drastic as the example the blogger posted previously.

As you say and what I think the blogger was pointing out, it is heavy duty and well protecting gear.

The blogger also shows an example of Hilde from Soul Calibur who also has a simliar chest piece as femShep, and says that it is a good example.

*snip*

This blogger clearly has exceptions to the rule about the shapes of breasts in armor.

yeah, that's true. heh.

i guess there are ways of arguing that femshep's armor doesn't have that weakness. but on the whole, i feel that boob armor is mostly there for looks. there's not really a whole lot of point in having spots for your boobs to go in when dodging bullets. 

buuut....maybe that's just my thinking. i don't do a lot of bullet dodging, and femshep does, so... ./shrug 

A further treatise on the weakness and impracticality of "boob armor"... http://l-clausewitz....com/384382.html

Just for my two cents.

Oh, I guess I better introduce (re-introduce?) my Shepard here, too, since there's a large batch of new faces added to the old batch from the ME2 forum femShep thread.

Jessica Shepard: Earthborn War-Hero Infiltrator.  Paragade and Liaramancer.













Yes, she's Face 7... hence the Face 7 Mafia in my sig.  I know it's overused but there was no other way to get her to look right, it took me slightly less than three playthroughs of both ME1 and 2 to nail her final look down to my satisfaction.

I've made two other femSheps that I have yet to play: Colonist Ruthless Vanguard Rhea Shepard...



... who uses Face 4 and who I tried to make the prettiest Blasian that I could possibly create in the ME character creator to contrast with her internally ugly xenophobia, and Spacer Sole Survivor Adept Christine Shepard...



... who uses Face 8 and who I specifically tried to make as NON-pretty yet realistic-looking as possible (she was really an experiment to see if I could make a successful face using Complexion 2, which nobody ever uses).  I'll probably use them to investigate variations on some of the major decisions and their impact on ME3, but I've become so used to hearing Hale's Shepard-voice paired with Jessica's face that it's hard for me to play any other version.

Was thinking we hadn't seen her in a while...you should reintroduce her more often

Same here, I'm so used to visualizing my one FemShep that she's stuck with starring in every fanfic I write, however contradictory.

Give me FemShep trailer or else...

I think it's logically correct. Because after teasing us so much, what's the point of releasing the most wanted trailer AFTER or the same day as demo. I mean, we all would be SEEING her IN GAME already, right? So, I'm pretty sure it's less than 5 days before we see femshep trailer.

Once I've finished this sideproject I'll have to finish up Laire's playthrough and plan a couple ahead before ME3's release. Too much to dooo, too little time!

[Tup3x]

If soon means at least one month or even more than that, I do wonder what sooner would be then. Apparently it's less than one week then...

[KateM]

I just hope that "sooner" isn't the new "soon":?

I don't believe it. I think someone already played as femShep during a demo, and they said that it was still a little boy.

Also, recently, alignment was once again discussed. As I mentioned before (perhaps in the old thread), Kassia surprised me by not following the path I had set her up to follow (she was supposed to be exactly like my earlier playthrough, just with a few cosmetic tweaks and a name change). However, she ended up like this:


I'm also happy with her build and she will apparently import with exactly that level and skills if she remains an Infiltrator in ME3. Not that I think there won't be a respec tool built into the game like there was in ME2, so it might not matter much anyway.

And now I probably should go climb back into bed... My wife's in Ethiopia for a fortnight, and I have to do double parent duty. Can't really do that if I get any worse.

That's pretty much how Deirdre ( also infiltrator and planing to stay as such ) fairs up. She does manage to max out on either re/pa depending on my mood.
Speedy Recovery!!!

Also, unless you are massively endowed in the chest area, there's not really a need to slip your boobs into separate molded-plastic sockets. just sayin'

Shepard' s underarmor follows the dragon skin ( Miranda suit ) pattern designed specifically to spread kinetic energy resulting from a single point of impact, evenly over her whole body. Even her breast plate pattern kinda hint in that direction - although not conclusively. 
Really like the Dragon Blood Armor!

I'd love it, too, if you could remove the helmet.

[Battlepope190]

In regards to the "spoiler", what's the big deal? I just read it and I don't know anything more than I did before reading...did I miss something?

[Silver]

The thread is supposed to be spoiler-free as not everyone wants any story related Information before the game is released, me included.

[sagefic]

@ sable: ah ha! thank you. that's a much better blog post on the impracticality of boob armor.

not that I really mind it. if your choices are between dental floss with metal highlights, strategically placed with two-sided tape OR shep-style boob armor, i'll take the boob armor.

Well you do know something more now. You know that SPOILER's sex may be relative to Shepard's sex. And this thread is 100% spoiler free (says so, right there in the title). So red erred on the side of too much caution.

Now, let's get back to fantasizing about discussing Horizon with SPOILER, since that is definately also 100% spoiler free. As long as you use the word "SPOILER" (in all caps).

Need to get some pics of my Shepard in ME2 but she look's awesome in a helmet!

All this trailer tweets are making me so ARGH, really want to to see it soon! : )

got so many PT's to do, the next month is just going to be Mass Effect for me

[Sialater]

I dunno what's worse, gratuitous spoilers for those who don't want ANY, or the ****ing about said spoilers (either from those that don't care or from those that do). Think I'll go back into my ME3 self-imposed exile. See y'all on March 10. (Figure it'll take me that long to get one game down.)
