Hi Everyone.
Huge Mass Effect fan, awesome trilogy, played on xbox and pc, completed the trilogy multiple times. I have just one beef really. How does Barbie (Female character) head butt a Krogan. Why can we have a more realistic female character body shape. Couldn't they model after an MMA athlete for instance or someone from the military? Any way, this is my only beef with Mass Effect. I am really excited for next game. In the mean time, I will keep playing the trilogy.
Cheers,

Please don't call the new protagonist as Shepard. That will get you banned in the Bioware forums

As much as I love the trilogy, I found it absurd that in 3, the female Shepard's arms were stick thin considering the fact she's in the military leading a unit against a massive threat. I mean, my own arms are about as thin, but I'm not out trying to save the galaxy or have a squad under me.

If they want to allow players to customize the character's body shape and size good, but I do not want to be forced to create a masculine or butch female to satisfy a certain group of people. It does not represent or feel like me. I like my characters to be short, curvy, slender, agile and flexible like Jack was in ME 2 &3. My character is not a bodybuilder or pit fighter. She can be a nimble martial artist. I usually play biotics anyway, so my characters have no need for bulk. And I like my characters to have feminine sex appeal. Request like this will probably result in hyper-muscular Cassandras for all female squadmates.
This, for me:
Is much better than this:
Well, it looks like they ditched boob armour (or to my eye heavily reduced it). That's a step forward at least. It'd be nice if we could edit the character's body too this time around so that everyone can be happy and create more diverse characters.
I think you can be athletic and still be sexy. Hundreds of example of that in female sports. Just think that the body type should be a little more realistic. There's a great mod For ME3 that adds 20-30LBS to the female character, arms and torso, that makes her a bit more realistic. I also agree that they could be body customization or chance body type by class. Solders are bigger and biotics are smaller, makes sense.
Agree totally, in one point in ME3, your character is supposed to do 180 chin-ups? I did 22 in training camp and couldn't lift my arms above my shoulders for a week! 
I think their Male Characters are bang on, but their female characters need a little tweek here and there.

Are you a genetically engineered cyborg?
edit: I think it's an exaggeration to call FemShep unrealistic, but I wouldn't mind there being some more muscles.

I wish they would let us adjust the body type. Skyrim I felt did this well. I am just curious what in the blue hell is realistic body type? It differes for everyone. Bioware really need to get over this not allowing people to adjust the body types in their games. They can put limits on it in preventing people from creating unrealistic body types for N7 characters the way Skyrim put limits on Dragonborn body types.
Well, not sure I would pick Rousey, I'm more of a Miesha Tate fan, however, Rousey did look pretty good on the cover of SI, just sayin.
I really like the helmts on this concept. The one red N7 character wears in the trailer looks fugly as hell but these are beautiful, very Mass Effect/Quarian like and fit perfectly.
Ya, unrealistic is a bad choice in words I guess. Ultimately, a little body customization is what I am looking for.

Heck, personally, I'd go as far to say I love the new armour designs. They feel like a natural step up in terms of technological developments from what Shepard (regardless of gender) had in the original trilogy.
Also, no boob armour. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there isn't any period.

Athletic builds certainly, though I'm not sure that bulk necessarily makes sense for all characters.

They'll also allow you to still see all those fancy facial animations in dialogue, which has been a sticking point in the past.
Or we could have different body sets like in SWTOR. Of course, if you're on PC, there's always mods. I'm just happy that Mass Effect didn't have exaggerated 'feminine' hip movements like in DA2 and DAI. I tried running like that and boy its a workout by itself.
I mean, Ronda Rousey has a great body and she is the toughest woman alive. I don't really have a problem imagining Ronda Rousey headbutting a Krogan. In fact, I think that is very easy to imagine happening.

Not exaggerated if you are small waist-ed and large hipped, which I am the unfortunate recipient from genetically. Well red beans and rice and fried chicken did not help much either. Women in my family have exaggerated hourglass figures in youth and a monstrous wide pear shape in old age. We always sway when we walk, which could also be a cultural thing I picked up as we all learned to dance using are hips in youth. The up side is I like the attention. I wish I could customize my character this way.

Indeed..if there is one group Bioware has yet to pander to is the obese. Let's get the fat acceptance train rolling showing larger people can do anything healthy people d---*Laughs like a mad man* Pardon me...I couldn't say that with a straight face.

Yeah, if full body sliders aren't feasible, I'd at least like 2-4 pre-set options to chose from.

What people mean by realistic is someone who appears to be in shape, since Shepard and presumably the next Mass Effect protagonist are Marines & N7s. The character model for Fem Shep had arms that were too thin.

This.
Obesity would make one unfit for military service.

Well yeah, I did mean generally as in body shape rather than weight in terms of body diversity. Like muscles, shoulder width, arm size, etc.
