And really - Friends and FemShep Lovers - is there not enough outside in the RL we should worry about and fight over ?
Is it really necessary to fight with eachother about just a sentence and relate all as a personal attack???
No offence to anyone - just my opinion - and I will NOT respond or saying more about.
@Metal Dragon I said it before and will say it again - its awesome:happy:
@merylisk - damnit Naomi rocks this dress <3
@krayzi good to see Sofia back in action
@JamieCOTC Jaime is stunning - why did you stop play her ? Thane romance ?
@Ottemis WOW - wonderful - this is absolutely great. If I really do another playthrough after Kayleigh I will use it for sure.Link is already on my Fav's
@Sinapus nice shots
@N7Calibrator Thx :happy: To see the adorable and beautiful Electra was worth waiting <3

Wow, this thread is really slowing down. Only three posts today?
How about a question to get things moving again...
Does your Shepard have, for the most part, one casual outfit that she wears the entire game, or does she change it up based on her mood/the mission/the occasion? To broaden the question, do you imagine that your Shepard has a distinct sense of style, or is she more practical minded when it comes to her choice of clothing?
Catherine, like pretty much everyone, had the regular Alliance uniform in ME1, so I won't go into much detail about that.
http://cloud-2.steam...F19DD8C1E35385/
In ME2, she felt pretty nostalgic about serving the Alliance, and with all that being dead she did for 2 years and then waking up to Cerberus, she probably wore the uniform to regain some normalcy in her life:
http://cloud.steampo...17F7F98C60B47B/
Well, except for the dress in Kasumi's loyalty mission. Catherine doesn't really like dresses, so it made her feel pretty uncomfortable. She'd probably only wear dresses for a fancy night on the town with Garrus. And then she'd not bother if Garrus wasn't wearing a suit.
And then in ME3, Catherine decided to go for something a bit more comfortable, especially since heirarchy and professionalism doesn't really matter. Though she still showed her Alliance pride somehow!

Look Saturn, it's obviously bothering you otherwise you wouldn't have brought it up. If you feel one way or the other about it, you should act upon it, If it was 'my call', the topic would never have been revisited.SaturnRing wrote...
Your call.Ottemis wrote...
Ours was reasonable. Ours regulated postlength. Do whatever. It's your party, I don't care anymore.
I feel the solution as proposed by me and others was fair, smart and would take nothing away from the thread.
If you are of the opinion it did, honestly I think that's more a case of you having misunderstoold our suggestion than anything else (because you're broadly suggesting the same as a differing solution).
In the end what I think only matters aslong as people care, so if you'd rather do it some other way, you can and should do that. Your considerations are your own in the end, if you don't agree with mine, don't follow them.
@Several
Thanks for the comments on the texmod, I'm currently working on getting the original colouring for the first Casual outfit sorted out HR as well. After that I'll probably do my last Casual outfit retexture, the colonist outfit in all three games.

@SaturnRing : I really loved reading through your Akuze entry for Deidre, I hope you'll write some more! It's always intresting to see how everyone concepts that incident , especially with not much info and details given by the writers. Very creative stuff there.
So, I was going to continue Melody's playthrough buuut I came to face a weird fact. I miss the good times ,so I thought I'd start over a playthrough in ME1 again and work my way up (hopefully they'll have releashed more dlcs by that time). Introducing my other favorite femshep, Electra. I'll be swift this time around:
Name: Electra Ellie Shepard
Background: Earthborn
Reputation: Ruthless
class: Vanguard (i'm definately positive she has them Krogan genes somewhere in her)
Eye colour: Green (olive)
Al. : Renegade with some paragon moments (some..)
Thank you so much.
I enjoyed putting it together - it makes Shepard story much more personal. When Jenkins mentions Akuze, the renegade option makes much more sense now.
I agree for ME 1.
Electra is so beautiful; it is hard enough to resist a renegade Vanguard...but those green eyes...
@Jamie: I really like how you deconstructed your characters' habits when it comes to clothing.
@Krayzi: I second Tup - Sofia camo is spot on. Glad to see you resume her PT.
@merylisk: like i mention before, Naomi is my favorite among your characters - the cyber haircut paired with Kasumi outfit is such a beautiful/lethal combination.
@LadyAly: one of those rare moments when we can see Kayleigh softer side.

@LadyAly - I've been meaning to say something about Kayleigh as she is very pretty.
@N7Calibrator - Yes, Electra is very beautiful, especially the eyes.
@SaturnRing - Thanks. That was an interesting question to consider.
---------------
@LadyAly - I finished all my femsheps finally. Susan was my Thanemancer, but she went back to Kaidan in the end. In the words of Bill Murray, "Did THAT suck." The Thane romance is a quandary for me because what's there is actually pretty good, but it's just not nearly enough.

For those who never read it here's the death scene from the leaked script.
Shepard:I'll get some medical help.
Thane:I know all the experts on the Citadel. Ran diagnostics two weeks ago. I asked what they recommended at this late stage.They said, "spend time with your family."
Shepard:Looks like I'm all you've got.
Thane: I can think of no one better, siha.Your memory is not like mine, but perhaps you can keep me in it for a little while.
Shepard: You're not an easy person to forget, Thane.
Thane:The moment will be soon. [Coughing fit.] I shouldn't have run. You did not even need me.
Shepard: You fought for something noble, Thane. As last moments go, it's not a bad one.
Thane:No... there is one I would prefer.[Thane memory flashback.] Fist slams the table. Shame at my cowardice, my fear. Atonement means nothing.Her hand touches mine. Her lips part and I tremble. "Thane, be alive with me tonight."
[His body relaxes. Shepard wipes her eyes. Maybe we see a tear, maybe we don't. The music tells us all we need to know.]
Shepard: Goodbye, Thane. Meet you across the sea.

As for Jaime, she was a bit of a challenge as she was essentially UJ by another name so it was difficult to make her her own Shepard. I made her for Ashley and a full paragon, but it wasn't until ME2 that she came into her own. Her only renegade actions in ME1 was pulling a gun out on Conrad (for his own good). She even let the long winded Krogan talk in ME2, though she did shoot the mech and blew up the geth as brainwashing them was worse, so she thought.

And for good measure, here is Diane, my full renegade. She was a lot of fun to play.

Tiia: I've noticed that Tali has been sneaking into Garrus' place many times now... I have also been playing some retro games recently with my omni-tool that Liara kindly updated some time ago and that kinda give me an idea... I wrote this small things just for fun. Want to take a look?

EDI: Okay, Shepard. You can upload it for me from your omni-tool.
Tiia: Done.The Lusty Quarian Cleaner
Act IV, Scene III, continued
Hides-Her-Face: Certainly not, kind sir! I am here but to clean your armoury.
Master Vakarian: Is that all you have come here for, little one? My armoury?
Hides-Her-Face: I have no idea what it is you imply, master. I am but a poor Quarian cleaner.
Master Vakarian: So you are, my dumpling. And a good one at that. Such a strong legs and supportive waist.
Hides-Her-Face: You embarrass me, sir!
Master Vakarian: Fear not. You are safe here with me.
Hides-Her-Face: I must finish my cleaning, sir. The commander will have my head if I do not!
Master Vakarian: Cleaning, eh? I have something for you. Here, polish my barrel.
Hides-Her-Face: But it is huge! It could take me all night!
Master Vakarian: Plenty of time, my sweet. Plenty of time.
END OF ACT IV, SCENE III

Tiia: So, what do you think? I was hoping that maybe you could kinda upload it to their datapads so that it would stick there a day or so on their lock screen...

@JamieCOTC
Well, I've never felt so attached to gaming character before. The fact that I felt almost physical pain after the default ending says a lot I guess.

FEMSHEP QUESTION: What does femshep mean to you? Is she just a gaming avatar or something more?
I really like Diane and Jaime. I can relate with how you had trouble with Jaime. I initially felt the same when I created Nemain, who started off only as an excuse to tinker with the character creator for a specific look and class I had in mind. It wasn't until I started ME3 that I had a good idea of the type of character I wanted her to be. I wish I thought of this sooner as a lot of her decisions in ME1 and ME2 mirrored Devi's and I often found myself coming up with alternate scenarios in my head while playing part 3. As with your character Diane, it's good to play a renegade after playing paragon characters for so long. It frees you up and brings a lot more drama into the story. The stuff I had Indra do in ME3 made me cringe but it was still refreshing and fun to go through. Even felt more realistic at times.
It would be stupid for me to say that Shepard is just a gaming avatar. I don't think any other gaming avatar has caused me to spend so much time screencapping and sharing his/her gameplay with others.
With Devi, Shepard is someone I look up to.
With Nemain, Shepard is someone I can relate to on a certain level.
With Indra, Shepard is someone I can indulge with.

My approach when playing an rpg is always custom character. Always. Except for ME. It is true that getting used to the default Jane/John while viewing cc demo before the game was released played a part in it. But i usually tend to make my characters almost as a reflection of myself; they act how i think i would in their shoes. I wanted something different for ME. I didn't particularly liked default John; I was in the other hand mildly "attracted" to Jane though i would have mod a lot of her features if i could. My thinking was: i got to create someone that will totally escape my grasp and be a total unknown. I had made 2 incomplete playthrough with 2 cc Shepards. They were so preditable. I though well cc will drag me right in that place where i can anticipated every single move my characters make. Why not try both default - who didn't look anything like what i would have picked. That should be a good first step into the unknown. And it worked. While playing Deirdre, except for certain big moral decisions(which aren't a given) or a few technical choices, i never really know where it'll end up. I'm doing a ME1 PT right now and i have no clue where it will lead me. I tried hard to make her more predictable especially to compensate for what i view as a broken renegade/paragon system in ME2; she is still acting like she has a mind of her own. I believe accepting imperfections or shortcomings from someone you didn't pick, can generate more attachment. I tried countless times...but i can honestly only see Shepard's story through her eyes. Sheploo provides me with a good change of pace when i need a different perspective. Don't know if it all makes sense. This is why i will never view Deirdre as a game avatar. She is so much more to me.Tho i don't know exactely what...JamieCOTC wrote...

Yeah, considering that took me somewhere around 6 hours-ish, (not actually sure, probably less than that but it was over two days) I'm sure a better artist could do it faster but drawing upward 20+ Shepard would be a exhausting task. Especially for someone who has a job/partner/children/sleeping habits. Mizznaaa tried to do something like that with 12 Shepards, she was going to do a calender. I think she started one Shepard before giving up.Ottemis wrote...

I know there are several artist on Deviantart who do commission for a price. The pay depends mostly on the detail of the art.

I just finished writing Indra's background and will post some of it here with the rest and some more images linked below. She is my renegade character and her game played out so much more differently than my other two characters. It was refreshing and a bit saddening seeing as how she is my last character and I do not see myself playing an entire game of ME3 again apart from DLC.
~

Indra was born and raised on Mindoir. Its wide fields were her crib, its mountains her bedroom walls. Indra’s parents were of Irish and Russian-Mongolian descent and they carried with them their love for close-knit communities and challenging yet rewarding landscapes. Her father, Phillip, was a well respected though laconic and stoutly built agriculturist and her mother, Akilina, a dedicated colonial legislator renowned for her sharp wit and hard, Siberian beauty. When Akilina was five months pregnant with Indra and on a routine trip to an orbital space station, a ship
malfunction exposed its passengers to eezo. Indra would likely have had many siblings but this health scare deterred her parents from wanting a larger family and ensured that Indra remained under close medical supervision throughout her formative years.
In spite of this Indra had a good childhood, never lacking for anything. Her earliest years were spent traveling with her father by foot and horseback through large farming sectors and helping fix basic farm equipment. As Indra grew older, so did her interest in her mother’s career and under Akilina’s tutelage she participated in school debates
cementing her budding reputation from her playground days as an aggressive, competitive, and brutally honest colonist.
Indra’s time on Mindoir could be described as a big fish in a little bowl. Though she had an interest in local politics her true passion lay in the great outdoors: racing the local boys on horseback, roughhousing them, and on a few memorable occasions, cross dressing and flirting with some of the local girls. Indra was a touch arrogant and loud,
traits which lent themselves well to her participation in the yearly fall festival as a singer of old Russian folk songs. Indra did not have,nor desire to have, any typical feminine charm yet she was mighty vain about her hair, the one trait that could indubitably be traced back to her mother.

Now that she is properly introduced I'll likely share a few more screencaps in the future. <3

Devising a plan of attack didn't take long.
Having lost the element of surprise, Razor thought it would be a good idea to "soften" the compound with more orbital bombardments, before launching the assault. So Preacher's been going at it again pretty hard for the past 10min.
"All right, guys. Need to refuel. Back to base. Good hunting D. Preacher's over and out"
Deirdre had to pull a lot of favors to get him to lend a hand.
"Nexus"
The operation was officially launched.
"Mako 1 you're point. Initiate the assault"
"Gator, ready and able"
The plan was simple: Hank's nightstalkers would land right in the base courtyard and breach through the front door; while Gator1,2 and 3 under Cpt Lara Creed's command would breach from the west entrance. Razor's shuttle would provide sniper cover from the right flank. There were 4 medivac unit standing by.
McNight's five nightstalkers started their descent in a spread formation. Half way to the center of the coumpound a turret emerged from an enclave in the courtyard.
"Damnit! It's a Titan. Mako disengage! Now!"
The first salvo took out Mako 2 right reactor.
"We're going down"
It crashed in front of the main gate.
The second salvo went through Hank's nightstalker floor taking Gunner Tesla out.
Deirdre could hear his voice through the loud speaker:
"Receiving contact! All units disengage.Mako 2 is hit. I repeat Mako 2 is hit. Requesting immediate Medivac. I have a Kia: Spc Tesla"
"Mount the SR 35" ordered Razor to her crew
The fast assault shuttle's mini guns were not gonna make a dent in the turret's reinforced armor plate. Even with it's shield gone. The KLS Titan was a particularly deadly piece of equipment and very illegal in Citadel Space. It's only drawback was that it needed someone to operate. A small alcove at it's back could house a gunner. To Deirdre's knowledge only Alliance's SR 35 Viking could punch a hole through that thick armor. But it was so cumbersome that it had to be taken apart for transport. And it had become infamous for it's difficult to manage recoil. Nozebleed was the nickname given to it by Alliance snipers.
"Cmon D, we getting hammered here"
A high velocity round went wheezing past Deirdre's ear. Then a second that lodged itself into the shuttle's roof compartment. The left reactor was on fire.
"Holy s*! That motherf*'s shooting at us" The pilot turned to Shepard"Boss, the stabilizers are gone. Y'all better hold onto something back there"
"Hank" Deirdre snapped "You got to keep him off our tail"
"You gotta be kidding"
"Just need time to line up a shot"
"All right. Gator will take a shot at him first then i'll draw it's fire"
"You'll have to take out it's shield"
"We'll do" quickly answered Cpt Creed drowning McKnigh'st protest.
Deirdre laid down on the shuttle's floor. She would operate the Viking herself, being the most experience shooter. Seawolf was prone beside her and would act as her spotter.
"You forgot to activate your Gyro"said Vladmir in a soft voice. She nervously grinned, pulled the bolt back and loaded an ap round clip. She then adjusted her breathing an attempted to calm herself down. From that distance, wind adjustment would be minor and the Gyro would help compensate for shuttle movement.
Gator1, 2 and 3 got in position and engaged the Titan from the left flank attempting to offer as little target as they could manage. The turret responded with fury and launched a punishing wall of destruction in their direction - like it was possessed. Several rounds impacted Gotor1's cockpit then the engine bursted into flames. Hank saw the nightstalker disappear behind the base right wall in a trail of smoke. Gator 3 was also hit but only took some minor damage.
"Lara? Are you ok?"
"The shuttle got clipped pretty bad but we're good. Just putting out the fire"
Mako got his 5 shuttles into formation and attacked from the East. Cpt Creed did manage to take a third of the Titan's shield out. The rest would be up to Hank.
Deirdre was aware that they only had one shot at this. She could not afford to miss - feeling the pressure mounting, she thought about why she was doing all this; those she was doing for; and also those she left behind. The shaking in her hands stopped. Her brain barely registered "the shield is gone" - she held her breath and squeezed the trigger.
