Then why not already with ME2, when the fans were so vocal about it since the first game?Kinyou said:

Double post.

Perhaps my goal was different. I tried to make her more "human". I tried a set of sliders that made her look all young and sexy, but that just doesn't fly with the character--or the voice (for me at least).
Default FemShep at least fits with the character/voice work.

Sorry bro. Didn't mean to let some ladies in on the dudebro. The 10% of us who played FemShep for the sole purpose of grooming her for our inevitable marriage should be more respectful of allowing ourselves to be seen in public or engage in converse on an internet forum.
On a serious note, I voted for #5 and #4. But I have to say I most definitely approve of that #5 red haired variant.

It's possible I'm misunderstanding the purpose of this contest.Wallach said:
Will my previous save (which used the default) register with those looks upon importing, or will it look like "default" = "new default" and I'll get one of these "new and improved" versions to play with?

Both number 4 and 5 are great, but I voted 5. Although 6's face with 5's darkened hair is the best.
Oh, wow, haha. Guess I'm too used to action movies trying to pass off middle-aged stars as young men.toasty_T said:
Anyway, it's not really surprising, making femShep young and sexy. Mass Effect has always been more male-centered fantasy and adventure than serious Sci-Fi.
I don't remember how ME2's import system exactly worked, but I'll imagine you'll have the option to either import directly, make tweaks, or just pick a new face. So when it reads your Shepard I'd guess it'd just read what her features are, not bothering to compare that to what the defaults were in 1/2.Peter.Simpson909 said:

One would think that whatever your shepard is, will show up exactly as it was in your carry over save. I mean, they are just transferring data points, right?
Peter.Simpson909 said:
I don't know if they've actually come out and said so, but there's basically zero chance they're going to force an appearance on you if you import a save file.
The whole point of this is to fulfill a long-standing player request to give the default female appearance a custom model like male Shepard and all of your squadmates. Very few people even use female Shepard and one of the biggest reasons for that is that the default choice is still built using the custom character creator.

Still don't like the direction its taking, but if I can keep my old grizzled war vet FemShep then I can't complain too much I suppose.
I get jumpy when people change the "default" appearance of my character 3 games into a franchise is all. Much like the backlash against the revamped Cole that they eventually scrapped (well, he got a new voice).

Cole had a default. FemShep really didn't. So I think that is more apples and oranges. Imagine if they'd taken bro-shep and made him like metrosexual goth alternative.

Huh...
Peter.Simpson909 said:
Your original post seemed to suggest that people didn't want a default FemShep which seemed to be squarely in the "I play default MaleShep" camp. So I was making some light humor at it and some earlier "waifu" posts.

I think FemShep should be black. We need a strong black female in the Mass Effect Universe!

Well it was a clear marketing decision to always use male shepard in advertisements and maybe were the fans not vocal enough after the first one or they thought it would pass. That they now even allow the fans to choose the finale shepard design shows also that this is meant as fan support and not to attract some horny teens to their franchise. Also if the latter would be the case she would've (like someone mentioned) a cleavage, less armor etc.brotkasten said:

The purpose of the contest is to allow us to choose the PUBLIC face of Femshep. Which ever femshep model wins that becomes the femshep we will see on trailers, promotional stuff and it will be the femshep that appears on the box art of the CE version. In addition she will also be a new default femshep that you can choose to play if you want.
The old default femshep will still be available to play if you wish to do so (Casey has confirmed this) i.e. there are now 2 default femsheps, the old one and the new one. You won't be forced to use the new default femshep if you are using the old default femshep. If you are using the old default femshep then it will not magically change into the new default femshep.

Did I miss the memo? I thought this was purely for the femshep on facebook's profile page.
If they're changing the default, that kind of sucks. I don't see why if you had the default femshep before and imported her that it would suddenly change, though. I don't think there's any cause for alarm in that regard.

I did just explain a few posts up. The femshep that wins the voting becomes the public face of femshep. The winning femshep will appear in a special trailer, promotional stuff and will be the femshep that appears on the CE box art. She will also be available as an ALTERNATIVE default femshep. The old default femshep will still be there.

5 is the best, but I think the one I got my game is better looking. And she's pretty close to the default female Shepard they already had in the game, who is better than these choices.

My female Shepard didn't look like a slut who cuts herself for attention.LQX said:
None of those will do.
I agree. Didn't Bioware even go out and say only 1/5th of people who played ME/ME2 even play Femshep? What is the point here? (for the record, I played as and advocate people play as Femshep). Yeah, pretty sure they didn't put any effort into it 2/3rds of the way, why bother now when the default is pretty much there (even though pretty sure you could recreate the default face, which tells alot). Is this to get all the crazy ME fans on their forums all stirred up?amdnv said:
That being said, looks like #5 is the closest they'll get, and then they can do another vote where red hair wins, right?
