Mass Effect 3

[Vyk]

Yeah, my guy ended up looking Hispanic or Asian, depending on the lighting. I can't remember what combination I used with my female version. But I'm almost positive I didn't use the default and still ended up satisfied with her results. But its not easy, for sure

My Shepard was hot. I tried making a male shepard but I hate his voice. I like the female voice far better than the male.

I like the default appearance for female Shepard. She looks sorta nice while still looking like a space marine.

Talk of RPGs with ugly-ass characters always makes me think of Beyond the Beyond xD and wow, I never realized they designated the "mean" comments to the bottom. Sometimes it was left and right, when it was blatant Paragon/Renegade answers, which were also designated in blue and red. But those were obvious. Guess I shoulda paid better attention. And the models mostly only look ugly in certain lightings. A lot of the game itself is played in areas where its not so bad. But it still crops up now and again. I'd say Ashley looks better than any chick in Oblivion :}

I didn't notice myself until my boyfriend told me. The colored ones you can only pick if you have enough of the corresponding points. I keep trying to do Samara's loyalty mission the Super Renegade way, but you need lots of points >:I

But uh, I only played ME2. It may have been arranged differently in the first.

It's generally the same in both but occasionally they'll change it up and you say a mean thing because you were being lazy and picking the top thing. Always make sure to at least skim xD

I agree. The female Shepard's voice is so amazing and husky. The voice actress really does a great job at conveying the emotions of both the Paragon and Renegade side. Her voice seems to work with any look as well. However, the male voice is monotone and tends to not fit the look of some people's characters. He sounds like he's reading off of a cue card sometimes.

I will take a screencap of my character.

Uhm. It's a bit of a messy blog post.

Here.

Just played the Lair of the Shadow Broker. The new alien is pretty cool and the dossiers for some of the characters were pretty interesting. From the dossiers, I learned Miranda is impotent and that she is a part of a dating service.

how about some spoiler alert

[Madame Adequate]

The only truly important things from Shadow Broker dossiers are
Tali installing and uninstalling a vibrator in her suit like five times
Wrex running a web search for 'tyrannosaurs wrex' (sic)

[Shiny]

Hahaha! I forgot about Tali's. So funny. Wrex's was okay. Really most of the were funny. I got chuckled when I read the end of Garrus'.

So I got Mass Effect on PC through Steam's christmas deals and torrented the sequel. I like the first one more in terms of gameplay but at least ME2 allows me to mod the graphics and a lot of other elements in the game such as replacing the gay ammo system with the old heat system on weapons. Gotta give them props for using flexible engines like that.

We received some Microsoft points for Christmas and spent some of it on Mass Effect DLC. Overlord was just awesome. Best DLC I've ever played!

Currently doing a vanilla ME2 playthrough this means going with a new character to determine the "cannon" events of ME1. So far the council being left to die and Kaiden surviving are my major diversity points. I'm also playing as a renegade female Shepherd who is kicking ass as a Vanguard class biotic. Will need to prepare a couple of more files soon.

I found Lair of the Shadow Broker much better. It was pretty mediocre gameplay-wise (which fits in pretty well with the rest of ME2) but at least it added to the storyline and the romance with Liara. Overlord was just another side mission and the Hammerhead parts smurfing sucked.

Then again maybe that's just what players deserved after all that bitching about the Mako.

[Jessweeee♪]

I haven't played ME1 yet, so I don't have an import file. It seems that Ashley is on Horizon if you're male, and Kaiden if you're female. Haven't seen Wrex anywhere, but I don't know what the significance of that is.

I've played it since making that post, and I agree. I wonder if it'll have any impact in ME3!
