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:

Wow. This post is so sexist and disgusting. I've seen so much ignorance since I've joined this forum yesterday. Disgusting. Who are you to decide what body type is "better"? Both of the women in those pictures are beautiful.

I'm so tired of female characters in video games constantly having these perfect Barbie-like bodies and flawless makeup all the time just to satisfy a certain group of people.

Getting good female animations from Bioware? Well, we can always hope, but I can't say I have the slightest expectation of such hope being fufilled....

 

Yep, but personally I hope we get more fem!Shep animation than fem!Hawke/fem!Inquisitor animation for new fem!PC, though some would be unhappy with that one too.

Maybe I misunderstood you. A realistic female body shape? Like males, they come in different forms, tall, short, skinny, plump, long legs, large to no mammaries, long necks, short necks. etc.

 

I guess if the CC gives us the ability to morph the body, you can create the one you want. Sadly, knowing Bio, it won't happen.  Armour pre-sets and all.

I actually have the same body type as FemShep/FemHawke/FemHumanInquisitor.. yeah, I have the exact same arms like FemShep's but hey, don't insult these arms. They do a lot of heavy duty things too like knead doughs, whip meringues and temper chocolates... lifting growing toddlers for hours...

 

But I doubt all female soldiers around the world have a defined 'broad muscular Brienne of Tarth' body types. Besides, in the world of space magic and implants and enhancements, I don't think FemShep (or any futuristic female space warriors) need to bulk up like James just to be just as strong as average male soldiers. And its actually more realistic for someone who travel a lot in space to have some form of muscle atrophy and finding its harder to maintain being muscular.

 

I would prefer an option for different body types to fit with the specialization classes. More muscular with Soldier-class and then alternating body-types with the rest. It didn't make sense for an Engineer or Adept to have the exact same body type as a soldier class. I actually like ME1's armor limitation for classes.

You cannot escape the rule of sexy. If it is in the corporate media it shall be sexy! Nuff said

 

While true, there is no reason why you couldn't have a character is that both attractive and with a little more meat on her bones than Fem Shep had.

 

There are thin Marines, both male & female. But both have some muscle definition in their arms. 

[katerinafm]

Agreed. Or at least get rid of the noodle arms, they were ridiculous.

Military organizations don't have different physical fitness standards based on your job title. A person enlisting or being commissioned as a combat engineer has the same basic physical fitness requirements to be eligible for boot camp or officer's candidate school, the same physical fitness tests once in the military, and has to take part in the same daily physical fitness training as an infantryman.

[Pasquale1234]

I've always voted for gender neutral animations all the way around. It's easier, cheaper, and anything heavily masculinized or feminized restricts the player to cisgender role-play. That, or provide moderately masculine and moderately feminine animations, and allow players to choose which they would prefer for any given playthrough.

The same animations on female body models will likely give the appearance of a little more hip sway, anyway, since the skeletons are broader through the hips.

[caradoc2000]

It depends on the animations and extent of body customisation. If you want the player character to high five someone and your player character can be a 6' tower of muscle or a 5' petite bundle of steel nerves then chances are one of them isn't going to sync up the animation with the other person, or both of them won't.

Personally, I'll just be glad if FemCharacter's "casual" outfit isn't another skin-tight hoochie dress with heels.........

I'll be happy as long as I get another option for a hoodie in the style of the N7 one, that thing was awesome, especially in comparison to the base offers on casual clothing.

[Lethaya]

As long as the anatomy doesn't have issues that stick out like a particularly painful sore thumb, like the femshep model did in ME3 (to me at least), I can survive, I think. Anything but that again, Bioware, please. Decent animations for the female model would also be a huge plus over what ME3 provided. Dat sprint animation. Terrible. XD

 

Though more realistic would still be nice, of course, and I understand and appreciate the concern here. It definitely makes more sense for females in a militaristic line of work to look like they can shoulder their own weight. I though ME2 did the best job with that, personally?

now we're designing fem bots? oookaay...

I'm not military so I won't assume to know everything about military life. But if the avatar need to have the same body types and all of them have similar physical conditioning with all classes, then it didn't make sense for power-classes like Sentinel, Adept and Engineer to have restrictions on armor choices or weapon types and carrying capacity. The fact that this restrictions exist means that there are physical differences with all specialization classes.

 

Besides, as far as realism goes... female soldiers came in all sizes. And not everyone have to look extremely buff to pass fitness tests.

I guess my countrywomen and neighbours aren't considered as realistic soldiers by some standards.

Missing the point a bit. Military women don't all look like female bodybuilders who could punch a horse to death, but there is not much room for twiglike arms, chickenlegs and carrying around D cups when you have to maintain PT standards, let alone being not just infantry but a supposedly elite commando like Femshep or Ash was. It would be like the male protag having a beer gut and no muscle tone whatsoever yet running, jumping and lifting like a krogan.

The only difference is that that the male features that are usually considered attractive by typical Western standards also happen to be the ones that coincide with being physically in top shape, unlike with females.

The armor restrictions based on class were kind of arbitrary, but I suppose you could chalk that up to biotic classes wearing lighter armor not because of being less fit, but because the use of biotics is partly dependent on not becoming fatigued.

 

I wasn't saying that solldiers, either male or female, don't come in different shapes and sizes. Obviously they do in large part because of genetics, but also lifestyle. Some also work out in their free time while others only do it when required as part of their job. 

 

I was only saying that it wouldn't be realistic to have a combat engineer or adept character be less fit than the soldier class, since any differences in level of fitness or strength/endurace between real world soldiers or Marines, is going to be due to genetics and lifestyle, not due to their occupational specialties in the military. An admin clerk has the same physical fitness requirements and tests as a machine gunner.

Hell even if the in game model was more athletic without looking like a body builder it would look silly!

 

Look at that slab of man meat! He has to weigh like 80-90kgs if not more and she just goes *haup!* and dead lifts him like shaggy old carpet while looking like she'd struggle with her grocery bags.

 

Yes for a more ripped female PC!

[Dubozz]

No please we don't need usual girls in videogames.

[Kappa Neko]

Muscular =/= pumped up

 

I would love to have a biotic female PC with a dancer's body. Or a rock climber's. You can see very muscle in their body because they usually are pretty slim, but strong as hell. I don't mind thin arms if they at least look like they are strong.

 

I didn't have any issues with femShep being unrealistically strong because reaper tech upgrades. But those arms did look puny... like mine, and that's just so wrong for Shepard.

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,

 

Here come the SJWs...There is nothing wrong with that body shape. You SJWs should stop hating attractive people.

[WildOrchid]

That being said, you know what else I hope? That the female protagonist has actually an iconic face from a model or an actress or something like dudeshep. Please. No more of those custom faces. ME1 and 2 were bad as it is and at least ME3 Jane had a face different from the customs.
