Share your Ryders (Good looking edition)

Aaaand Samuel again.

Finally figured out how to grab screenies from my xbawcks, so allow me to present my Sara - mistress of snark and tech nerd extraordinaire!



Despite the CC's best efforts, I managed to get the look I was after pretty quickly!

Just made a female Ryder for my second playthrough. Meet Petra Ryder meele and shotgun specialist.  

Compared to other shots from the opening, they look just fine, pretty much exactly the same.

That being said, shots on the Nexus or certain parts of the Tempest have "cooler" light than the "warmer" light on other planets. Voeld is "cooler" as well, which is to be expected.

Warmer light tends to look better, which is why a lot of filmmakers tend to film in the hours before dusk for certain cinematic shots. The light during that part of the day tends to be "warmer" yet softer, so the shots look more "epic."

Lighting is a huge part of how a screenshot tends to turn out.

Oh yes, so many midblink shots I delete the instant I see them, and so many ridiculous derp shots, lol.

I also always record everything and take my screenshots from it (except I play around with the flycam)
Bandicam is great for it. But if you don't buy it, you have a big 'BANDICAM' on the top of your video. :I

I finished my second playthrough today.
Here's Shawn Ryder, romanced Peebee and he's more of a renegade character. I made him a vanguard and he really is a biotic god of destruction. He was really fun to play.






And his sister Sara

Galadriel Ryder, preset 8.

Some more with my Ryder, armored up.
I keep trying to match the Initiative's blues and whites on my character's armor. I think I've got it pretty close to other Initiative characters rolling the same colors?

(Whoops, caught Cora mid-blink)
It looks lighter on some parts of the undersuit, but the metallic/harness parts seem to have the Initiative blue I was going for. I love the color palette wheel with the combined saturation and lightness selector, but I kinda wish Bioware had also included some preset colors to choose from, too.

with helmet.

I have some other shots with the Angaran commando legs, but it's embarrassing how many pouches there are...

I mean, that's just way, way too many pouches for one person. That's enough pouches that my inventory space ought to be closer to 500! Any with the Angaran arms, there are even MOAR pouches!
Also, is it just me, or does the Dhan's melee attachment look a tad...suggestive? :dirty:

I agree, that would be very useful. The RGB values are listed on the outside of the color wheel, after all. It's very hard to match them using the in-game inputs; I just get them as close as I can...but you can clearly see the exact values , so it's like...why can't we just type them in somewhere..?  :rage:

This reminds me of editing the Coalesced.bin file in ME2 and ME3, tweaking things to be just the way you want them..or, well, pretty close. For example, I'd edit it to give my character a hat or beret sometimes, or change my hairstyle or tweak my eye colors. On some of my characters, especially in ME3, I'd add the Shepard scar effect, but turn off the cyborg eyeball lights. You could even change the scar lighting colors. 

I know they can't give us something that goes that in depth, but... it would be nice to have an advanced character editor in game. Like a 'click here for advanced features' kind of thing that would let you expand/hide that interface during character creation, or, hopefully later, during the "mirror of transformation" style editor they (hopefully) add in, in a patch. 

Before showing you Ryder Jr., allow me to present to you Ryder Sr.:



Now, here are some of Ryder Jr.'s best shots. He's rendered pretty good in cutscenes, if I say so myself:



Other, less cutscene-y shots:
