I just ran into some pictures from that book just floating around online.

I just thought I would warn you that they are pretty freaking huge spoilers. 
Avoid anything involving that book if you can.  You may regret it. 

But if you've read the leaked script it's nothing new... so have at it.

If you've paid attention to EA press releases, it's nothing new either.

I wonder how many more characters got a "we needed character x to be sexy" in the first line.

No. EA's leak revealed only one of the spoilers that are featured in the photos from Art of Mass Effect that are cirtulating on the web now. So there are still major spoilers for people who want to avoid them

Also the art book is copyrighted content, so posting links could lead to problems.

Easy.  How many major female characters are there?

Thanks OP for the spoiler warning. gotta be really careful these days until release.

Yeah i posted one, and forgot to write SPOILERS, which i am really sorry about, I just saw the picture on the net and thought someone in here would like to see it, did not think that it was Copyrighted, though it was a screen from the book that was in the news that this book was coming out, my mistake and sorry about that. But yeah all artbook pictures are BIG SPOILERS!

"The problem isn’t the individual designs, the problem is the trend in design. The fact that there isn’t a single main female character who isn’t conventionally attractive by human standards is my biggest issue. In the entire game the male aliens are allowed to actually look alien. Salarians, Turians, Volus, Krogan… they’re all very alien in appearance. The female aliens, though (the ones who are allowed to be on screen) are like… all of them are slightly edited human women in skintight costumes. Asari are just sexy blue ladies with tentacle heads. Female Quarians are extremely curvaceous. We can have Garrus looking like a lizardcatdinosaurbird thing with a carapace and Mordin looking like a bipedal pink frog but we can’t have the same thing when it comes to a female character. And when we do have some semblance of an unconventional, non-hypersexualized female character, they take it away. They put Ashley in heels and a miniskirt and EDI in a sexy robot body. Miranda’s in a catsuit. Samara is in samurai fetish gear with her boobs hanging out. Jack’s completely topless save for leather nipple straps. Tali’s in an envirosuit but it’s still completely skintight and accentuating her assets. Liara’s outfit is actually nice but then BioWare goes off and throws out disgusting s--t like the Kotobukiya statue. I don’t buy for a second that this isn’t done without any problematic pandering bulls--t in mind, looking at their marketing and their comments on the images.

"The problem isn’t with sexiness. The problem is when it is gratuitous and insulting. The problem isn’t that the female characters are beautiful and shapely and show off their bodies, but that they’re pretty much not allowed to be on the team unless they are eye candy. The disparity in design and the way the designers speak about them and how different they are between the male and the female characters is the issue, not femininity or sexiness or whatever (before anyone jumps on the GOSH CAN’T PEOPLE BE PRETTY WHAT IS UR PROBLEM train)."

Goddamn it, Cheez, if I met you IRL instead of on the internet we would hangout every freaking day.

Likewise.  

I was thinking about getting this as a means of hyping myself up for ME3; but now I know that its spoiler laden I'm going to avoid it until after I've played through ME3.

Okay, I found the pics.

And WHOA.

[SNascimento]

I like the alien design, very intimidating and imperialistic like. That is the way I picture them.

Who is sexy to.....cubs?

I don't understand why people complain about the female aliens being "sexy". It's not as if the cast in general is unattractive....I'm a hetero male but I understand that the male characters in the game are supposed to be attractive. It's not as if Jacob or Kaidan or even Thane is horribly ugly.

The "hot alien chick" trope has been around before "Star Trek". It's a part of sci-fi. I don't understand why people hang this on Bioware or EA. It makes zero sense honestly.

He was not designed to be sexy.  He was designed to be meat.

I'll give you Jacob and Thane, though.

Because the trope sucks, I care about Mass Effect more than I care about Star Trek, and I know Bioware is capable of better than this.

Besides, smallpox was around for thousands of years.  Should we have kept that, too?

As a hetero male I wouldn't mind certain things like Miranda's cat suit or putting Samara in that Justicar outfit. Hell I would probably prefer it but also I would add the option to put in some armor so the player could give there character the option to wear it since its more practical.
