I got my boy back! :excited:

Can I just say that this is one of the most depressing quests in all of ME? I love Rila and Falere, though, they are truly Samara's children.

Damn, that's extreme. I really think a patch is in order to remedy this and other problems with the game. Someone mentioned that their Shepard had too much light in ME1. I don't understand how they (those companies hired by EA Bioware) could screw the lighting on Shepard up so bad in all three games - you've seen my simmy Shep lol in ME3.

I got a sim Shep moment in ME2 actually, after I posted the screenshots above. I risked her life on Haestrom to make sure she had plenty of lighting for a photo, turned on orbit camera in photo mode, and...no freckles. None. She had vanilla Sims face.

So I'm wondering if, when Shepard is facing away from the camera during combat, the game sometimes just doesn't bother loading Shepard's face texture at all. Have you noticed Sims face outside of combat photos?

I had a pretty good run through ME2 without a Sim-faced Shep, but ME3 is just unplayable whether in combat or during a cut-scene, the lighting is just dark with way too much shadow and flat. You could raise this issue in the official EA MELE forum - they are amassing a huge number of problems that will hopefully resolved in the next patch. The EA community peeps are actively responding to issues, and some are even helping to resolve certain ones.

In any case, the lighting in Haestrom is awkward due to absolute shade or absolute sunlight in most of the outdoor areas - maybe that also plays havoc with photo mode. Looking forward to seeing more beautiful photos from your games! :wub:

Yeah, I'm using the new scoring, so that would mean Level 52 (I think) using the classic method.

That's a pretty Shepard you have there... I usually think the blonde colors don't look too good in Bioware games, but it suits your Shep nicely.

Thanks! I may have spent waaaaaaay too long over the years tweaking her so she looks like the OG blonde Femshep art for ME3 from back in the day!

Saaame. I've had rotten luck with timing for MELE. In the thick of it with summer clinical rotations. Still in ME1; done with Noveria, Feros and a fair chunk of exploring.

In some ways I kind of like this nibbling away at my favorite series rather than knocking it out in a week. It spreads out the excitement.

And I'm loving these shots. Pure eye candy.
