If I voted/cared, I would pick 3.. But since I never use defaults in ME, it doesn't really matter too much to me.

 

[bloodforge]

I'd go with 4 or 5.

 

[Anteater]

I kind of agree with shepard being older, I kind of imagined shepard to be a bit of an older soldier than a young super model, kind of goes well with her deeper voice, heck my shepard is bald :lol

I'd really like to see a take on a more unique appearance like the boss in mgs3, perhaps give her more masculine features since they seem to use the same animations as male shep, but I don't think bioware likes to put too much attention to details, and this is just for marketing and boxart, so oh well.

 

[Zoramon089]

How hard is it for Bioware to just get a female model in her 30s to use? Oh wait, they probably don't really care...

 

[X-Frame]

Should've just used Tricia Helfer as the model since she's already working with them.

I would bet with you that still half of the people here wouldn't have liked it.

They care more than you think, they are only trying to engage and please their most hardcore community!

Spoiler

The same community that asked them to include interactions such as *hug* *hold hands* & *kiss* in future DA games, because Merrill is just Oh so cute! :3 Bioware's response: "we are definitely considering it"...

Those sharp knees and all that.

"SO UGLY."

I wouldn't have minded it, personally, but she wouldn't have been any more convincing as a hardened war hero.

 

[Nori Chan]

I'm digging Fem Shep 4

 

[i-Lo]

I found this picture a long time ago and the first thing I thought was, "Wow, if only she was the female Shepard!". Colour her hair what you will but I feel her face and hair style makes a great template to work on:

They do care, but this is something that has to appeal to the larger demographic =P

 

[disappeared]

I'd go with 4 or 5.

Exactly my thoughts.

 

[Mindlog]

Well this is going as expected. I can see why people say they look like Natalie Portman/KN. So did Jack. Ah crap Jack killed Femshep and took her place.

#5 actually looks a lot like Laura Surrich.

I don't use Vandershep so I'm pretty indifferent on the subject. As long as Femshep still hates Batarians it will work.

Wow, you are right. Perfect model for this.

#5 is Blonde White Valley girl in space or Bioware trying to recreate Samus.

Samus is pretty great, so why's this bad?

I didn't notice it before but I liked how his solution to fix Samus was to basically throw some mud on her.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Hey, it worked for Lara "Reboot" Croft, right?

I'd go 4 or 6 I guess. 6 just because of the hair.

My real pick would be None of the Above.

 

[Samara]

I voted for #5 cause it looks almost identical to my own Shepard. But I really like #6, totally using her, she's hot.

Is it the lighting or does #3 have a long ponytail?

I wish it was somehow possible to force Bioware to use her as a model. She's perfect.

Agreed, she is perfect.

 

[PairOfFilthySocks]

I honestly don't consider Mass Effect to be a dark, gritty science fiction world. It's epic space opera and has become even more so with the sequels. Screw gritty realism, I want my sexy heroes!

One more perfect score from me. That's a spot-on Shepard.

True, many forget that Mass Effect is based on all the cheesy 60s sci-fi films. Shepard should look like this

 

[kai3345]

#1 or 4

 

[Sennorin]

True, many forget that Mass Effect is based on all the cheesy 60s sci-fi films. Shepard´s love interest should look like this

Fixed, and wow is she hot <3

 

[The M.O.B]

Yes she has a ponytail, because there is only one view a lot of people think #3 has short hair. But it's bunched up at the top into a ponytail.

Fail on Bioware for not including multiple angles.

 

[macfoshizzle]

i like either shep 1 or 3. 3 in particular because of the long hair tony tail which is different from others

 

[brotkasten]

True, many forget that Mass Effect is based on all the cheesy 60s sci-fi films.

Didn't they change the direction after ME1? At least art wise.

 

[Dan Yo]

You mean something closer to this?

Well Ashley is still pretty young looking compared to what I'm thinking of. Her facial model also isn't nearly as good looking as number 5.

 

[PairOfFilthySocks]

Unfortunately, yes. However, the overall tone of the games has remained in the realm of Hollywood-esque gung-ho sci-fi.

I read that thread a while ago, but i think #5 looks more like the 'better' Samus designs from the fan artwork and not how Aran looks in games.

 

[Loxley]

1 = Meh, too boyish.
2 = A little too heavy on the "tough chick" mascara.
3 = My choice, really like it.
4 = Looks too much like a Victoria Secret model.
5 = Looks like Elena from Uncharted if she became a street corner prostitute.
6 = This is totally a personal thing, but I really dislike bangs like that on chicks, so, eh...

Yeah, #3 gets my vote. Perfect combination if tough and feminine without trying too hard. Really seems like it would be the female doppelganger of Dude Shepard.

 

[metalshade]

No.1 Looks like my wife! Definitely gets my vote!
But Goodness me stop voting for 5! I HATE BLONDES!

 

[Jerk]

Would have been happy with either 1 or 4. 5 looks nice, but I would have preferred a more original choice.

Still, this has little effect past launch.

 

[LightofRohan]

Ugh 5 is winning...

People aren't thinking in terms of the game and the trailers/box art. It looks neat there, but trust me the blonde will look terrible in trailers (ingame); it will clash with everything.

I like #3 the most, but it really should be #1 as the base Shepard. #5 may look the hottest or be the best in that compostion... but think outside this. Oh well, that's biowares fault for letting the fanshorny dudes decide.

 

[Kitschkraft]

I'd vote "like" straight away if FemShep looks like that.

[Pollux]

#3 or #6....#6 is the best looking but not who I would picture saving the galaxy.....

 

[Kinyou]

It's Raquel Welch from the "Fantastic Voyage"

 

[ameratsu]

The default female shepard from the first two games is fine. Face customization in general is overrated though and I rarely spend time fiddling with settings that have no effect on gameplay.

 

[Dacon]

5 = Looks like Elena from Uncharted if she became a street corner prostitute.

The hell

 

[HDgaming42]

Although that model/actress looks nothing like the FemShep I used, she'd be a much better fit than those teen models they offered up.



(please excuse the bad/rushed 'shop. Scar her up a bit/harden her and you're already ahead of the game)

So what's the female equivalent of a DudeBro?

Actually, I think the girl whose picture someone in the previous page posted have the attitude of a leader as well:

In comparison, those 5 options Bioware presented looks weak and doll-like.

God that's scary. She has that haunted look.
