When Earth begins to fall in an ancient cycle of destruction, Commander Shepard must unite the forces of the galaxy to stop the Reapers in the final chapter of the original Mass Effect trilogy.
I found the character creation options in ME2 good enough to make a pretty convincing copy of myself, except for the part where there weren't any good hairstyles.
If I could 'game face' someone for my male shep it would be Aaron Eckheart. For FemShep, Zoe Saldana or Michelle Rodriguez or Evageline Lilly or Yvonne Strahovski
I'll try to just to see if anything has changed. Otherwise I'll probably import one of the half-decent ones I have, or grab a new one off of masseffect2faces.com
I just used a slight variation of FemShep from my first game. The character creator isn't bad per se, it's that just people in ME has always looked a little...plastic so to speak. I think Sims 3 is the only game where I managed to make a convincing clone of myself despite the cartoon-ish art style. Other games, not so much. Kinda prefer it that way.
I'm sticking with default Shepard. Used if for one and two, not changing now.
Isnt that the best looking one thats like fully rendered after a real person?
Yep! All of my creations look hideous.
Used a custom character for my first playthrough of ME1, then on my second I used default Shepard. Never went back.
same here. I liked my creation but after playing once with the default and seeing how the face is supposed to animate I was never able to go back to the unholy custom shep.
If they let you use the tech EA has employed in (mostly sports) games that uses a picture of yourself to build your face onto the character than I totally would; Jeff mentioned this idea on the bombcast once. Otherwise no, probably not. I won't use the default tho, that just seems boring to me.
Hell no. If I ever even play Mass Effect 1, I'll do what I always do: make Bushwald Sexyface and sexy my way through the universe. Hell, this would be the perfect game in which to do it.
I run with default Shepard...though it really annoys me that his default look can't be recreated perfectly, or edited.... not that it really matters, I wear full helmets so I don't often see his face.
I don't know if I could, and I don't especially want to. I do always create a custom Shepard, although only recently and through building off a model from masseffect2faces.com was I able to make an attractive character model with it. Regardless, the shep I'm gonna be importing is kinda black, and I'm pretty white myself.
Shepard is the default Shepard for me, they spent time working on that voice and face and doing anything else causes this massive disconnect in my brain and I can't get into it. I loathe character creators anyway.
I usually just use the default Shepard, so I'll probably just do that again. I wonder if they'll even let you rebuild your imported character again. Mass Effect 2 at least had a good story reason for it, but I can't see them doing something like that again.
I don't really like the look of any of my Shepard's, but I still prefer to roll with my slightly above-average looking face patties than go with the default, just for the sake of still giving Shepard some more uniquity.
I'm sticking with default Shepard. Hearing the voice with any other likeness(especially my own) just feels weird.
This exactly. When I replayed the game as an evil character and created an appropriately Drago-esqueappearance I sort of assumed his voice would be different to suit the personality. As soon as he opened his mouth I decided that I could not handle it. I now only play through the game with two different characters. I have my main male (default) Shepard or my secondary female (custom) Shepard.
I wish! would probably be a lot more interesting than running around recruiting all these needy bastards. He is like a space hobo version of Michael Ironside.
