One thing that I have noticed with many custom female Commander Shepards is that they generally are overly beautified if that makes any sense. Rarely have I seen any female Shepards (including many female Hawkes and Wardens) that looked like average women. Attractive, but not like Maxim cover attractive or anything to that nature. It seems like when you allow people to create their female characters, men normally create someone who is overly sexualized while women while a bit tame, still go for extravagance in a way. You rarely see female Shepards/Hawkes/Wardens that are more on the Cassandra scale of things; attractive, yet not the typical "Hollywood", mainstream, or western ideals of what female beauty is. I am saying that most Shepards/Hawkes/Wardens I see (female) typically all have long hair, thick makup, straight and angular features etc...again, not like a Cassandra who has angular features, but is also....."normal" looking, Scout Harding as well.
For my female Elf and Qunari Inquisitors, I want to break the mold a bit. I want them to be attractive but not like OMGZ attractive. The type of female whom you may not break your neck to stare at because she is JUST SO attractive, but the type of female who you hang around with after a while and begin to find beauty in her, with the personality having a lot to play in that, not superficial features.
Again, I get the whole idea that if you are going to be playing a 100+ hour game, you would want to create someone that looks good, but still, I want to try to be less mainstream and more unique.
