Uhmm...a myth.

Really. It's not a myth. It is the Melanin in the skin. Darker skin is more protected from UV rays that destroy the skin cells.It is Simple evolution. Same with latino's they have less melanin in thier skin then black people but they age gracefully. For the most part.

Lol. I'll await a scientific paper on it. Thanks.

FEMALES... BEEP BOOP!  What are you, a robot? 

It's just the most comfortable word to use, because it only indicates sex. Male is a good word too. Because women and men, are getting more into the social territory.

A lot of people are forgetting that depending on the levels of stress, people can look like they age more. There was a sixteen year old girl in Afghanistan that was just youthful looking. Several years later they met up with her again and she looked like she aged 25-30 years. It depends on how harsh the life is, no medical science will ever be able to stop that.

So for Zaeed it might make a little sense for him to look so old. Not to mention this is all stuff for people with money. Not every might be able to afford the best. There can be so much factors. So for Zaeed, and perhaps Anderson it makes sense they look older. Udina, not so much. Then again if it made Sheploo look older then you would think the identical back story Femshep would also have aged slightly. At any point there's a whole bunch of reasons why people could look like they do.

For Zaeed its more understandable since he has been shot in the head and has many scars. Anderson has seen some action and plenty of stress but his appearance in ME1 wouldn't make too much sense lorewise unless he will be looking exactly like that for 2 or more decades. The most likely reason is that BIoware wanted him to appear like an old soldier but messed up on the age. Hell I think Joker is like a year older than shepard.

Shepard doesn't have to actually look much older than she is. I don't like much of the make up but the way she looks is pretty accurate for her age. The only thing that makes her look younger is the make up, freckles and red hair.

I can speak for this too since my mother is 57 and black and she still gets mistaken for being 35-40ish.  I'm 26 in a week and half-black and people think i'm 15-16 still.  You don't know how many times I have heard at bars or restaurants:

Waiter/Waitress/Bouncer/Bartender/Someone asking my age after 5min of convo: "Can I see ID" or "..Uhh, how old are you again?"

Me:  "Sure here you go" or "25"

Them:  "Wow you're 25?  I thought you were in highschool"

Me:  "Haha, no problem it happens"

Them:  "No... it's a good thing." (Whaa? You hitting on me?)


On a more serious note Shepard looks more like she's in her early to mid 20s.  Not to mention there are studies stating there are people already born who will live past 100-150 years old easy.  With that new vitality and genetic modification people will start looking younger at older ages.  It has already started in the last century or so with modern medicine and health as it is.

I have to laugh at the people coming up with all sorts of excuses why FemShep looks so young..

And it's not simply a matter of her looking young, but her looking young in relation to MaleShep, and the rest of Shepard's peers.

Ashley doesn't look like she's 24, neither does Kaidan look like he's 24. Same goes for Miranda, Jacob etc.... Heck, Sheploo is the epitome of a War weary soldier..

FemShep is the only oddball in this group, and seeing as she is the PC in the game, it's very strange.

Speaking of women's ages, any females here over 20 and younger than 28? And single?

FEMALES... BEEP BOOP!  What are you, a robot? 

I recently got out of college where women, if you prefer, were so sensitive that anything other than a completely neutral term had potential to send them into rabid feminist rants that I could have refuted but were easier to endure in silence. So much for playing it safe.

Not a robot though... single white man.

You went to college with "rabid feminists" and you never were told that calling women "females" was actually seen as mysoginistic to many feminists? Many argue that calling women "females" is a way to dehumanize them.  I am not trying ot yell at you are make you feel bad, I just want you to know. Call women, "women". I don't think any feminist would be mad at being called a woman.

No, women at my school referred to themselves as females. "Girls" and "ladies" were both offensive terms due to the social connotations. It was really the influence of a nutty Women's studies professor but most of the women took it to heart.

FemShep is the only oddball in this group, and seeing as she is the PC in the game, it's very strange.

So because the others look older for their age (which they do), Femshep should look older too?  It's really all subjective since I think default Femshep could pass for 20-32ish.  She also looks older than a lot of women my age in the 25-27 range.  Again most people don't have a problem with Femshep's looks or her youthfulness.  If you don't like her looking "young" use the character creator and make an older, more mature and/or masculine looking Femshep.  The cc looks like it has some graphical improvements (still more or less the same) as well so it shouldn't be a problem.  As much as I like the new Femshep I may still go for a cc option for a more personal touch.

The reason why people "spin" why she looks so young is because it's common for people to look young for their age and will be even more common in the future.  Having a problem with that shouldn't go beyond personal taste and treated as a bad thing beyond that.  Also  in some cases this seems to be another "pretty/younger looking people suck" thread where it's more about the complainers own sour grapes than anything really wrong with Femshep.  The same way people were equating blonde=bimbos, ginger=tartes/wussies etc.

How about this:  Many in this thread have explained over and over why people who look young for their age do actually exist in reality, why it's not necessarily a bad thing,  and why they don't think she looks 16 in the first place.  MissMaster even came up with a study when called out on a point and that isn't good enough.  How about some of the critics start explaining/proving that people don't exist who look young for their age, or that the younger someone looks the worse off they are as soldiers, the less believeable they are, shouldn't be taken seriously, are weak and/or shouldn't be a protagonist in a sci-fi video game taking place 170 years in the future?

Yeah that's pretty bad that ladies got grouped into negative connotation.  That would be like a man getting upset when someone referred to him as "sir" or a group of men as "gentlemen."  Really?

@odst

Whatever floats their boat. Calling a woman, who trying to get past social norms and redefine herself, crazy by a white man is really not going to make the matter any better. I should probably say "I hate da menz" but i don't. I love the men. I love them a lot.  Why you gatta be so sexy, men? Anyway, i do appreciate you trying to be conciderate to the women's movement at your college, whatever it was. Where did you go?

If FemShep is 16,Garrus is going to jail.

[Hathur]

Hyperbole.

She looks early 20's, not 16.

Not a fan of her appearance personally (overdone makeup but whatever, doesn't matter she's not my Shepard)... but that is not the face of a teenager.

That about sums it up.  The only hard part is that you never really know whatever floats their boat until you get to know the person. Nothing is really "safe." Some women even like it when you play the role of the scoundrel, using terms like "sweetheart," but only at certain times. I went to school in Ithaca, New York.

You can only call me sweetheart if your name is indiana jones, and even then he is on thin ice.
