Perfectly Cromulent posted:What huge boobs? Yeah, I was always kind of impressed that they didn't give female shepard huge boobs. It seemed like a touch of class in a world of oversexualized female everythings. Then they went and gave her a little black dress to walk around in while captaining a warship (only if you wanted, but still, pretty dumb). Also Miranda. And Ashley in ME3. And EDI becoming a sexbot. And...well that's video games for you, I guess.

rypakal posted:Did I miss the option to get a default femshep in me1? I guess maybe you're talking the face you get when you first load the face modeler? That is not a default face like maleshep is. I went with mshep on my first playthrough primarily because his face didn't look like a monstrosity created in a face generator. Yes it is. That is a custom mesh that is impossible to recreate using the face generator. Edit: Femsheps's pencil arms have always bugged me. Would it have killed them to give her at least some muscle definition? This is a good example of what her body type should have looked like.

I was playing Mass Effect Genesis 2 and had some questions. In some of the forums people thought you can only romance Tali. But when I did it I could romance Miranda and Tali but not Jack. This leads me to believe with the right choices I could romance Jack. I was curious if anyone knew anything about this.

But lose that and you'd also lose the chance for amusingly inappropriate clothing choices for cutscenes. Like mediating a centuries-old conflict in a hoodie, or meeting the Lord Grand High Admiral of the Alliance and his honor guard in the lovely ME3 pleather dress.

I mean I dig the amusingly inappropriate clothing thing, that's fun, but I guess I'm just a little irked that female shepard's formalwear is so much skimpier than the male counterpart in a game that until then had been impressively equal and unsexualized. Though now I think about it, I guess women's IRL fashion sort of always is like that, so I don't really know what I'm expecting here. At least we were spared male shepard in a speedo

I honestly forgot that dress was even an option, and now that I think about it the cutscene model for femshep and Ashley in ME1 was actually pretty good - she's still supermodel thin but she doesn't have huge fake ones like Miranda or Ashley in ME3. But the dress still makes her look bigger than she was in ME1. It makes Ashley's complaint about being a "real girl" pretty loltastic. I guess Bioware was never going to make "pro weightlifter Shepard" an option for femshep.

Yeah, it's the 22nd century, you'd think if you can gently caress a birdman you could wear something other than a cocktail dress as formalwear. Basically Shep needs clothing customization like SR2 has. Down to your goddamn socks.

You actually can't wear the hoodie to the war summit, it's the one important meeting in the game where they actually force Shepard into their officer's uniform. I thought that was a nice touch actually, I tried showing up in the ridiculous vest outfit.

Maybe you get Jack if you romances no one in the first game? Also, I enjoyed mass effect genesis, despite its flaws, but hated that you couldn't skip past it if you wanted to. The wii u version of me3 lets you skip genesis 2 if you want. Does the pc version? I would be more inclined to get it if so.

You best believe I worked my 100% Paragon wiles constantly in that hoodie. A friend said that his FemShep only switched into the dress when it was for :bigtran: sexy times :bigtran: I definitely missed the color customization from ME2, though. I thought that was a really nice touch, getting to personalize your armor to make your Shep feel that much more like the Shep, as opposed to just being one of millions being played around the world. Even though I didn't really touch the DLC for ME2 and Citadel will always have a special place in my heart, I think ME2 is my favorite out of the three. edit: Actually, 100% is a lie. I punch that one dick Quarian in the gut every single time. reitetsu fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Apr 4, 2013 |

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the most unrealistic thing in ME3 has nothing to do with alien civilizations, artificial intelligence, or resurrection from the dead -- it's the fact that FemShep can do 200 pull-ups with those arms.

Sometimes I wonder if they modeled Shepard in her armor first and that's why she's such a stretchy horror outside of it.

The thing that I kept noticing was how Shepards hands were textured. They are darkish and really veiny looking, sometimes the just looked bizarre there at the end of her dress blues sleeves. And when she does the fingers to ear comm thing, the bent fingers look like messed up balloons. Maybe she has different hands in a different outfit?

This might sound weird, but I was pretty impressed with femShep's knees when she wore the dress. As in, her legs really had a realistic texture definition. In Citadel, when she was wearing that dress, I was thinking 'wow, that model's leg art is actually really good'. I'm weird, I guess.

Then a friend told me what I'd missed, and so I did a second playthrough.The most hilarious part was how Vega totally shot Shep down, and then was like "Oh hey let me take off my shirt and show you my sick ink. C'mon, guy!  1st AD posted:That only happens in very specific circumstances, and yes the scene is as bad as you think it is. It really is a great DLC. I pursued that particular option because I was sad it wasn't actually in ME3 proper, and it was kinda... Well, at least it was an option, anyways. But after the ME3 ending, it was a definite pick-me-up, and a wonderful send-off for the trilogy, I thought. On the subject of DLC as well, I was really, really glad I bought and finished Leviathan before getting anywhere near the last mission. I think it helped with all the  at the end.

Just finished ME3. The whole trilogy took a shy of around three months to finish and I gotta say, goddamn... Just popping the first ME disc in again and hearing that menu music makes me feel a strange mix of bitter sweetness, familiarity, excitement... And I kinda feel grateful for getting my hands on the trilogy instead of playing one game, and then waiting like two years for the other one and then the last one. I can't imagine all the hype and waiting that had to have been involved for those who started the ME trilogy from the very launch day of the first title. I haven't even heard of this Mass Effect thing until the trilogy came out and I was looking for another game to trade-in and I thought "Why the hell not, three games in one!" And beating the game, I thought I earned the right to enter the spoiler thread and what.the.gently caress? Over 1400 pages

I thought something was buggy when I first started ME1 and couldn't get it to fit properly on my TV-monitor but then I realized - ME1 came out so long ago it wasn't in HD. (Or maybe I'm complete  and couldn't find the proper configuration, but I did look for a good couple minutes.)And somehow, I managed to avoid all ME spoilers along the entire development cycle, aside from knowing that a lot of people were very upset about the ending.

On PC the display configuration is hosed up and 1080p isn't a default resolution in that game, you have to go to some other 16:9 resolution and then 1080p will be available. On XBox, good luck as I think that game is locked at 720p or standard def.
