She's pretty cute... but can you make your "Shepard" blue and 10 feet tall? Now that would be awesome.

@Okey

Do it! You guys should make a VGChartz "Shepard" customization thread.

You know I thought that would be an issue but once I started using her I found she syncs better to the voice than the actualy model for the female Shepard. She matches it really well, actually, and this face for her is really expressive. She especially works great with an evil Shepard.

Lets not kid ourselves, nobody is hotter than the elusive man.

Damn.

It's really hard to try to replicate your own looks in ME2, though. It's impossible in ME1. Either that, or I am slightly asian.

edit: that's a cool site. I imagine the codes are for the PC version, right?

Some of the celebrity recreatins are spot on, like vin deisel, and Samuel L.

I never actually saw the "default" female Shepard.  I just made my own back in ME1 and have been playing as her ever since. 

The voice fits the face or at least, I've gotten used to it (which may be what's happening in your case).

The only thing that sucks is I had to invest big resources into the scar removal machine since she's renegade, otherwise she'd lose the good looks.

Hot! I'd play with that.

I'm actually about 75% of the way up on both Paragon and Renegade on my first ME2 playthrough right now and I'm still working on all the loyalty missions.  I got the scar removal tool but haven't brought myself to using it because I want to see what happens as the bars continue to fill.

Also, I really hate the Renegade path in ME2.  In ME1, Renegade meant doing whatever was necessary to get the job done.  It was harsh and sometimes nasty, but it wasn't the usual "Good vs Evil" dichotomy so I ended at maxed Renegade with like 1/4 Paragon or something like that.  In ME2, a lot of the Renegade choices are pretty evil or at least asshole-ish so I'm leaning far more toward Paragon than I had hoped.

Anywho (sorry about going off-topic), as long as you're fine with a "gruff" voice with a soft face, your playthrough should be just fine.  ^_^

I thought Renegade was insanely evil in ME... Talk Wrex down? Fuck that just shoot him in the head... lol. I mean even when your decisions weren't particularly evil (focus on Sovereign versus save the council) Shepard became the devil incarnate in the following cutscene if you picked the renegade choice. *shrug* I find the choices to be just about identical in this. That said, I sorta look at this game as the Empire Strikes Back of this trilogy... it's Shepard's dark hour. Even on Paragon you are part of a criminal underwold the goodie-twoshoes Shepard in the first game wouldn't have dealt with. You're in a darker setting, and surviving here requires darker behavior.

Well not really.  I can honestly say that after maxing out the Renegade bar in Mass Effect 1 (and having finished it last week) that a lot of the choices weren't really that evil.  In fact, most of them just involved shoving a gun into someone's face and/or making a few colorful threats.  The two that stood out most as actually evil were exterminating the Rachni (one of the few choices where I went Paragon) and the UNC: Dead Scientists sidequest where you can elect to execute the scientist instead of Toombs and write it off as Spectre activity.  The Wrex situation was a no-brainer to me because I <3 Wrex.  He was one of my favorite party members in ME1 so I had to save him.

As for ME2, the Renegade path stresses over and over that Shepard isn't a part of Cerberus.  There are a lot of neutral pro-Cerberus answers though.  Paragon is "Trust me, not Cerberus."  Renegade is "Fuck Cerberus, I'm in command."  Neutral is "Get used to it, we're with Cerberus."  I think the only really bad Renegade/Cerberus choice is shipping Legion off for a measily 50k credits (total ripoff since Legion is a GREAT party member).  But the Renegade choices are definitely darker and not to my taste.
