ME lore states that, thanks to improvements in medicine, living standards, diet, technology, and in the case of Alliance personnel and those who can afford it, genetic modification, everyone looks younger and healthier, with the vast majority of people in their 50's/60's barely looking 30 by today's standards.

So really, being pissed of about Femshep looking as young as she actually should look, while so many other characters look far older than they should be, is really getting the argument arse about face.


First: On the off chance that you are the Total Bisquit: I like your videos (..although I've only seen a few).


TotalBiscuit doesn't write his name with a space, normally. That's the main clue! :wizard:

Err.. Ehm... I mean...

Go on...

Not to burst anyone's bubbles, but turning 40 and looking like that isn't natural. Yeah, plastical surgery, tons of makeup or simply retouched picture.

Well, she apperantly spends 8 hours a day on a beauty regime, it's full-time work to stay looking that young, which seems like a waste of life.

Edit - Shepard wouldn't have time to fight the reapers if she had to do an 8 hour beauty regime everyday.

unless of course it was your job . . . then it wouldn't really seem like a waste since an 8-hour work shift is common

Because OP, Bioware hates you. They thought, "Hey, you know that one guy? Lets ****** him off by making FemShep look young!" And then they made the characters, and the vote took place and they thought, "Is he b*tching yet?" After a series of long weeks, Bioware finally released the trailer. Now they are all sitting in a small, dark office, petting a white cat, and smoking a cigarette.

Does that answer your question?

Fair enough if it was to do with her job, I don't know how you can turn that into money though. You wouldn't have time to have another job.

People live to 150 in the ME universe, so 32 is the new 16.

I read that she does that everyday, someone put a link to her site on another thread like this.

I'm 28 and I still get ID, several times just for trying to buy an 18 certificate game, but I'm not trying to save the galaxy. So it's not that I don't believe older people can't look young, I just think that Shepard with all that stress shouldn't look as young as she does, especially when othercharacters don't look as young.

She does look older in-game than official artwork, so I'm not that fuss about it anymore.

Still hitable.

Back to the topic, this setting does take place in the future. I'm not surprised to see that 30 year olds in the future don't look like 30 now a day.

First: On the off chance that you are the Total Bisquit: I like your videos (..although I've only seen a few).

Either way: I'll grant you the point, technically, but will not accept it as an argument, until they retcon the appearance of John Shepard, who is the same person in everything but gender, to the same state.

At the end of the day, the power of demographics are at work here and it's not only about pandering to the libido of young guys either -- as culture goes, a majority of female gamers are likely to prefer stepping into the role of a young and beautiful heroine, over one that is old and perhaps plain, whereas a fellow gets to be a bit rough and grizzled, which is an element of their definition of handsome.
Is this a bad thing?  -Everyone will have their own answer.


I would have preferred the default Jane Shepard to look older like John Shepard does but that's the way it is. 

John Shepard & Ash look like their ages ...

Femshep not so much ... Posted Image

 But if I were ever to use the default Jane I would just RP that she was a direct descendent of Audie Murphy the most decorated man of WWII ... works for me. Posted Image

Perhaps femShep has availed herself of the youthfulness enhancing cosmetic procedures available in the MEverse and mShep hasn't.

New FemShep looks like she could have been made in the Saints Row 3 CC.
Which is to say, cartoony.

FemShep does not look 16 at all... She looks like a lighter framed 20something, which is pretty much how I originally pictured her for my edits. 5'6" mostly renegade former gangbanger straight off the streets redhead bad^^^ femShep. :-)

She looks a little glossy, but great.

edit: If anything at all makes her look a little younger, other than that screencap's expression, her eyes might be just slightly, slighty large for her face, but that seems to be part of the west's cultural language for female characters.

Meh I'm pushing thirty and everyone I'm friends with demands I keep my goatee... Why? Cos when I shave it off I look 18 -_-;; I get asked for ID buying cigs or to get into nightclubs.

Some people just look naturally young regardless. Women also have the power of make up... If femshep went without makeup I'm sure she'd look near 90 years old. Weird thing really, but I find girls who don't hide behind make up from a young age tend to age more gracefully, make up seriously ruins their skin in the short and long term imo.
