Looking to replay whole trilogy as female for the first time. I already visited me2 faces several times but nothing really caught my attention, especially compared to random femshep encounters on youtube or screenshots

[ThomasBlaine]

Just throwing it out there, but FemShep feels a lot less mary sueish when she isn't gorgeous on top of everything else. It's starting to look like I'm turning into a campaigner for plain female characters, but something I've recently learned to appreciate RPGs for is the opportunity to explore women protagonists who aren't mindnumbingly generic. Giving them actual character can be very rewarding, and making them less than perfectly beautiful is a great way to head off all the silly Joan D'Arc archetypes from the get-go.

 

The same goes for MaleShep of course, but somehow most gamers can play male characters who don't look like underwear models without ever showing their female counterparts the same leniency.

So you think beautiful womans make for mindnumbingly generic protagonists without character? That's sexist.

 

 Just joking though.  I understand your point, nowadays I tend to play as a character that visually resembles me as much as possible for the immersion sake. But this will be like my 20th playthrough, im kinda tired of Mark Meer and always heard good things about Jennifer Hale perfomance. Add to this not enough free time to sit in  character creation screen for hours and the fact that I still have all those amazingly made femsheps i've seen across the years in my head.

 

Also beauty is a very subjective matter - while googling for face codes 1 in 20 shepards really struck me as the shepard i would like to play as. Overall, thank you for your input, it's a good stance to consider while designing a character.

Here's my femShep from ME1, I haven't any uploaded snaps of her in ME2 but if she's the kind of face you're wanting I'll happily upload it and share the codes.  

(It'd have to be tomorrow tho, I'm signing off for the night).

I think you asked this on reddit but I like to share.

ME2 : 731.57K.K17.F84.BDB.1CS.1N3.711.CH6.417.646.316

ME3 : 731.248.I17.Q84.FDB.1BS.1N5.711.FD6.417.D45.616 

I do use several texture mods to clean up her looks and fix some texture bugs but she still look fine with her original codes.

 

 

They have relatively same facecode but FemShep's head is a lot smaller in ME3 so her features is a tad softer than the ME2 version. But I create the code so that the face animations would sync with her features. I like an expressive avatar more than just pretty ones and sometimes there's some subtle expressions you can miss with wrong facial placements.

 

I based her on my looks but you can change major features (eyes/nose/mouth/eyebrow shape) to make her uniquely yours.

 

ME2:
HD eyes (works for ME1)

Eyelash fix (work for ME1)

Hair texture mod (since black hair shade always look grayish in ME1/2)

 

ME3:

HD Eyes and eyelash + wrinkles fix

Hair mod DLC (Peggy)

I refer this to adjust offset bones and features to help with minor clipping. Optional.

Also light preset since I don't like how ME3 give a blue tint to everything and it make her skin sallow. Also it improved everyone's looks too.

Basically? Yup. I think one of women's less obvious problems today is that mainstream movie and television directors only ever hire the prettiest women they can get their hands on for important roles, with games following suit, and then turn them into caricatures, recycling the same old character archetypes instead of taking the time to figure out what a person would say or do. When we all constantly compare ourselves to what we see in entertainment that becomes pretty messed up for women's real life images. And really really boring for guys who like original characters and dialogue.

 

Non-cookie-cutter female protagonists can be incredibly awesome and refreshing, and while role-playing them I get annoyed at all the humanity and character wealth that mainstream entertainment is too stupid to tap into, and equally tends to go unappreciated in real life by people who only learn to appreciate women for whatever archetype they seem to fall into without ever needing to empathize with them.

 

Misoscopism, maybe?  I don't know. Anyway, sorry for holding you up. I'll try not to clutter up your thread any more.

How do you post images here?  I'm having trouble posting a .jpg.

 

Can any one help?

 

Thanks

 

 

[Gold Dragon]

I believe you need a certain number of posts (10 I think).

I don't know if post count matters, but you have to link from whatever image sharing website you use and then use the [ img] [ /img] tag, without the spaces.

*pokes you on the shoulder*

 

Psst, Xena would like to have a "talk" with you.

 

 

PS: I have an authentic replica of that Chakram, so don't get any funny ideas, tuff guy.

*is not intimidated by an actress with a round plastic weapon one foot across specifically designed to be thrown away*

 

I'd consider poking an eye out on her cheekbones the biggest danger there.

The Chakram is anything but plastic. It's heavy metal. My replica is blunt around the edges but it can still cause damage. I pity any future burglars.

 

It also comes back to her like a frisbee.

Possibly the most impractical weapon I've ever heard of. I hope for your sake that when the time comes you'll have the sense to snap off a broomhandle and defend yourself with that instead.

Code for a passable Ginnifer Goodwin Femshep, but then it's hard to get a very unique face with these sliders.

 

[kalasaurus]

My favorite facecode would be the one based on Aishwarya Rai.  It doesn't require any mods, either.

 

ME2: 731.17N.J97.F2H.MJ1.D1Q.11C.111.LE5.147.AG7.576

 

ME3: 721.17N.J97.F2H.MJ1.D1T.16C.111.LE5.147.6G6.575

[kalasaurus]

This facecode for Liv Tyler is also nice and pretty unique (a lot of faces are rounded on the site):
