So basically, unless YOU like the default Shepard it's a disappointment? 'Us' mean the other tiny minority. All two of you.
Seriously what did you expect? There is no design that would please everyone. A femshep without makeup, looks plain, or too young/old... looks too butch... etc. Nothing would satisfy the naysayers. They want perfection.
you honestly think only a handful of people play john shepard or garrett hawke? i and the bioware collected user data assure you that that's not the case, and there are a lot of reasons for it.
you're the one making the judgment call of femshep under different circumstances looking 'too plain', too anything else. my issue is not that this femshep is not to my personal liking. it's that she looks like a cartoon in a non-cartoon game.
You really missed the point didn't you? Playing default Shepard is fine if you like him/her, playing default if you dislike it makes no sense. In that case forget the default and choose custom. I chose Marian Hawke default and custom Femshep. I'm flexible you see!
Anyone who dislikes the default are free to customize their own Shepard. What you should not expect is Bioware to cater to your personal tastes as to how she should look.
Shepard didn't seem "cartoony" to me so I'll reserve judgement. Textures always look better in game. I didn't even consider this cartoon stuff until I came here - people on BSN like nitpicking things to death. They drain the life out of everything.
