You know....the constant complaining towards Sara's face is getting to be kinda offensive.

Obviously I have standards in my life, but this is just game, this is where people get to live how they cannot in real life and have fun. Just look for a second at what we are allowed to do in this games: DA:origins - let a bunch of people rape our betrothed and cousin for money, Kotor - mind control people into committing suicide, even the regular stuff like stealing everything from everyone and just murdering thousands upon thousands, very often for no good reason. But then suddenly pedophilia is so much more evil, we cannot allow that in video games, think of the children! 

I'm not a pedophile btw, if that thought somehow sinked into your head, but I do love my freedom in games very much, and I believe that if I want MY freedom I should not deny it to someone else who has different ideas on how to use that freedom. I honestly believe that the more freedom and options you have the higher quality of roleplay you can have, and you don't always have roleplay a character that would do what YOU would do. 

So Sara looks great now (Liked her before too though). I think she looks 10x better the fem shepard but that's just my opinion.

I wish there was more of an outcry about Cora though since you know, we can't actually do anything to adjust her looks unlike Sara.........
I don't particularly like the hair style (more into the long wavy brunettes and occasional gingers), but it's growing on me. I just wish her face looked, i dunno, younger? Maybe it's just Character kits, and I'll probably still fall for her. I just hope she has a kick ass personality that compliments Scott. I'd rather romance a squad mate who is around all the time, but if there's a particular hot honey on the Nexus, I guess I can fly there on the weekends like I do in real life anyways

This is exactly the same kind of logic like that strawman that suggests that we all should start killing people in real life very soon, since we kill so many in video games, video games make us violent right? 

Do you just draw the line on what you personally think is too far, or how do you come to the conclusion of where the line is? And do you really feel like sex crimes are worse than torture and murder? 

Also I guess if you don't want to continue the conversation here you you can stop, or pm me. 

Let's not wish for a Cora uprising! 

I'm not a fan of her hair, but she looks okay, otherwise. She looks lifelike, and that's what I'm looking for in a character. I'd assumed, based upon rank, that she has a few years on the twins. That's likely why she looks a tad older. I'd not given it any thought, really, until you mentioned it. They all look young and smooth-faced, to me.

Those kits aren't great. The devs said that they aren't yet familiar or skilled with the tech. If they redid Cora and Liam, as they did Scott and Sara, I'm sure the former would look improved. We can't put much stock in those kits. They're for cosplayers, essentially, not to represent game experience. Cora looks way better in-game, to me, as does everyone else (except Sara).

what if the child consents tho

Name.... Uh. Wrong thread. I hope.

If I don't cosplay default Sarah Ryder at least once, I feel like I'll be missing an opportunity.

Then... They can call Sarah Ryder ugly too, I guess. If they want.

They'd be wrong though.

This. She is by far a better female default character than any of the femsheps were.

I appreciate your post OP! Though, I mean, it wasn't really her facial features but the textures and that stare thing she had going on with her eyes. I mean, that is made of nightmare juice. Her permanent smile adds to the sketch too lol

Nah, they should be alright. The capsules were inside mass effect fields in any case.

I know about the limitations but those really did not existed in the ME trilogy. I think is more a cultural thing, having lean female characters is just the norm and it is the default look. Also it is possible they will address the muscle atrophy, unless there is some magic lore reason for not having it.

If they were at complete metabolic rest, totally "frozen", then there'd be no atrophy. I can't imagine how they'd be able to survive a 600 year voyage unless atrophy was reduced to nearly zero. There are so many other processes, as well... better to just hand-wave it as a "total stasis".

I look forward to greater customization in future games. I, like Mihura, would enjoy making a slightly more imposing female lead. I do like that Sara is different from what we've seen before, though. She looks more like an athlete than an underwear model, to me. I might be projecting a bit, since I'm a lean guy built similarly to Scott (maybe I'm taller), but one can be extremely athletic without being huge. That applies to men and women.

The body customization issue was raised continuously on Twitter with Ian. He invariably answered, "Can't answer that, yet". I don't doubt that they tried to make it happen, but just had too much on their plates, as you say. They're aware of the fans' desire for the feature. Assuming we get another ME game, there's a decent chance they'll be able to add some body options for us.
