Does this stick out to you as Shepard?

Or do you think of the character that you played as? The one that you most likely put in hours and hours into the game as?


For some reason I think of the generic shep. I don't think of the character I created. Anyone else?

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Mine, obviously.

I don't know who that stranger is.

 

[sjay1994]

 

[Prophet Steve]

The one in promos.

Although honestly when I see it I just imagine Wrex saying "Shepard".

 

[Hollycat]

Femshep immediately.

 

[DarkChronic]

Default Shepard, always.

Whenever I see pictures of people's home made Shepards I think, "Who the hell is that?"

 

[Morts]

Neither. Default Lady Shepard.

 

[arekuso]

I play with generic Shepard, but still feel like the character I'm playing with is "me".

 

[PranooY]

I went with Default Male Shepard. So....

 

[Tohsaka]

Default male Shepard. I usually play female characters in RPGs where you can customize your character, but the default male Shepard felt like the "canon" protagonist to me since he's in all the promo materials and is modeled after a real person.

 

[Lucinice]

I could never make a good looking Shepard so I stuck with the default.

 

[Nvzman]

I keep thinking of this Shepherd:

Spoiler

Modern Warfare 2

 

[Santiako]

Default Shepard looked much better than any custom ones, so I just used the default.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I'm boring I guess, cause I just use male model Shepard. I don't recognize the other ones, not even alt universe Jennifer Hale Shepard.

Like, he's the dude in all the promo material and videos, it feels wrong to go against the tide there

 

[Shaanyboi]

I think of lady shephard. She wasn't even the one I used, but that's where my mind instantly goes.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Mine. I managed to make a really good looking shepard though.

 

[SigSig]

Mine! Shepherd isn't some bald spacemarine :3

 

[emb]

I messed up going through the menus in the first Mass Effect, and didn't realize how much customization was possible. That or I was in a hurry. Or I just didn't want to change. It was a long time ago, I don't really remember.

But one way or another, I ended up with John Shepard, default Soldier through every game.

 

[jond76]

I think of my femShep. She was awesome.

#FemShepForLife

The redhead they picked for marketing purposes is pretty solid, I tend to think of her as the new "default" since broshep is worstshep.

Also thanks to GAF when I see broshep I usually expect a "what leads to sex" image macro

 

[Hot Coldman]

I think of Chawncy

 

[ricki42]

I had several different custom Shepards, but usually I think default FemShep, liked her best.

 

[Salty Hippo]

Always my femshep.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Oddly enough I think of Default Shep.
Even though I use Femshep through out all the games. Guess it's just all that marketing material.

 

[TheSeks]

Neither. I think Wrex.

 

[MKP64]

I always played as regular ass Shepard. So..

 

[Broder Salsa]

There can only be one for me

 

[Train of Midnight]

Default Shep is only Shep

 

[StalkerUKCG]

I think of Paragon Malcom Hackness Shepherd first and secondly his renegade mirror universe self with a goatee.

That bald space pleb is way down the left.

 

[maxcriden]

I think of Jack from Lost. Which led me to the hi-larious image above!

 

[TechnicPuppet]

I used the default guy.

 

[Bubbavelli]

But my shep was generic shep

 

[AcademicSaucer]

I think of Chawncy

the only right answer

 

[Style]

I think of Chawncy

That looks like Sandman from Spider-Man 3.

 

[Omega]

of my shep

why would it be anything else? that's the whole point of customizing your character

 

[RedAssedApe]

matthew fox

 

[Brakke]

There's only one thing I think about when I hear "Shepard".

 

[Nealand Liquor]

Nope, I picture my femshep.
She was kickass.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

My Shepard. Though mine might be considered similar looking to the promo ones. But still, my Shepard.

 

[Rolodzeo]

I think of my favourite store on the Citadel.

 

[Edwardo]

I always think of my shepard commander

 

[The Lamonster]

I think of Lucy Shepard, of course

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I think of Ronathon Shepard. Badass tan, bleach blonde hair, crater face complexion, and the ugliest nose to cruise the galaxy. He got mad play for his second rate looks.

 

[Vaddon]

The default Shepard, I always used him when I played the games anyway. The custom Shepards always seemed a bit 'off' to me.

 

[CastleBravo]

I never made my own character in the Mass Effect games. Always played as the one, true Commander Shepard, the default male!

 

[SargerusBR]

Default Male Shepard is the only Shepard

 

[Thorgal]

There can only be one for me

KILL THAT ABOMINATION WITH FIRE !

 

[WillyFive]

 

[Mr. Smiley]

The one from the Promos/Default Male Shepard. Probably because I referred to my Sheps by first name personally.
