Share Your Shepard! ME1, ME2 & ME3

Thanks, that sums up what I was going for actually   I might be slightly obsessed with consistency, but I love it when I can recognise a character's looks throughout the trilogy. It was a bit tedious to get her to look the same in the third game, because the import from ME2 was terrible and I actually had to tweak her face bones manually in Gibbed. Not fun  But eventually worth it when you're looking at that character for 60 hours and it finally looks/feels right.

That said, I like it when people change up their characters a bit too, like someone in this thread giving their character grey hair in ME3. Nice to see how people kinda tell a story about their Shepards by posting pictures of them throughout the trilogy.

bah. I wanna date her Too bad I doing a Liara run.

A spaceknight....for some reason



How cool is that? Too bad we did not have an open space mission in the trilogy. Even Dead Space 2 has something like that.

Your Shepard is probably the best female Shepard I have seen. Modded or otherwise. I tried to do a blond Shepard similar to yours on console and I think she turned out nicely in ME1 and ME2. But speaking of immersion breaking, she looked COMPLETELY different in ME3. She turned into a black girl and none of the features were the same at all. I also like that your characters hair in ME3 actually looks like blond hair. On the console versions, the blond hair looks like crayon. It just looks so bad. As attractive as your Shepard is, I actually feel she is immersion breaking just based on how she looks. I cannot imagine a hardened battle warrior saving the galaxy looking like a fashion model. I know this is a game, but when I was in the military, I can guarantee you no women looked like this. She'd be very distracting on the battlefield. 

Regardless, its a silly complaint and it sort of makes me wish I played on PC instead of on console sometimes. I'd like to see how my male and female Shepards can look with the right mods. 

If anyone is interested, here was my blond Shepard that I totally loved but had to abandon because she looked so different in ME3 and no amount of work could really save it. The final image was the best I could do.

Thanks! Yeah, I picked the more narrow eyes this time because I like to change things up, but I actually liked it
Yes, unfortunately the scars are gone in ME2, which does make sense considering they rebuilt Shepard, so they got some brand new skin as well, eh Still a shame we can't add the scars anymore because I do like them. Especially considering that Shepard claims in the Citadel DLC during the clone fight that they have their scars from Feros, Noveria, etc.

Thank you  Good job on your Shepard as well, like I said the import to ME3 is terrible but you've managed to make her look very recognisable. I like having my Shepard look a bit unique from the npc's in the game (and I hate some of the vanilla hairstyles), which is why I've been using hair mods and never looked back.

As to the "immersion breaking" stuff: in real life, female soldiers can be pretty too. If you personally feel that's unrealistic, that's fine. But here are some real life examples to show you otherwise:
So yeah, I love it when a woman can be both pretty and able to kick your ass
I know my pics of May Shepard can be a bit "glamorous" so to speak, but I think I managed to not make her look like a "barbie plays soldier" model  

You can have the scars back in ME3? How so? Even on PS3?

I really agree that it's a shame you cannot carry over the scars through all 3 games. It's also a reason I rarely use a scar in ME1 at all (for this Shepard I wanted one because he survived Akuze and got the scar from back then).
Yeah, if playing a Renegade I'd consider to give them a scar in ME1 and just make do with Renegade scars in ME2 and 3 as well, it's at least an ok replacement.

Hehe, James and Javik are great together, that was a run I enjoyed so much

Yeah, you can edit your character, but I haven't seen any option for a scar so far. I had two Shepards that looked so wrong when imported, so nowadays I start a Shepard in ME3 and once I have the look I like, I change the code into ME1 sliders, that works pretty nice every time.

I don't think I ever had Kaidan and Javik, but I like trying out different constellations in each new run. So many combinations to choose from! And some of them really are pure gold. James and Javik were my favourite so far, but I also can't wait to someday pair EDI with Javik. It must be great
