Radius

I cannot wait to punch her again.

Blake T

I only punched her once.

The paragon /renegade responses are totally better in the second game.

facetious

That pun in the third panel is pretty outstanding.

Blake T

Sheps gone a bit clown hooker with the makeup over there.

I'm picturing her striking with her nose. It looks a bit sharper in panel 3 compared to the other two.

The Otaku Suppository

Funny thing about this FemShep they've chosen to put on the box. Save for using mods, I highly doubt you can get your character to look anything close to that, most likely turning out some horrific abomination sin against god that results every time people use character creater.

Shorty

ummm

they're adding a new default femshep who looks pretty much exactly like that

streetwalker eyeshadow and all

Sorry, I meant characters created thus far. I'm not going to re-roll after carrying this femshep through two fully completed games just because now they finally see fit to make one that doesn't revile the stomach and causes horses to scream at the very sight of her.

Antimatter

noice

Shorty

I fiddled with the settings on my femshep until I found a combination that resulted in one I'd want to bone.

in retrospect, perhaps that's a strange way to go about designing a character who represents your own will.

SkyEye

I do enjoy that reporter lady is calling her "FemShep" in game.

SabreMau

For those of us who never played any Mass Effect and didn't pay attention to this thing until just now, apparently here were the 6 choices.



Aren't they all wearing eyeshadow?

I don't understand this complaint. I've never had any difficulty in ME1 or 2 making decent looking characters.

I'd Fuck Chuck Lidell Up

I would have gone with 1 or 4 probably... If I'd known this was a thing, which I didn't...

I'm glad you pointed out there was a pun instead of explaining the joke, giving me a last-ditch chance to salvage this.

Rankenphile

I've always just made the ugliest bulldog faced looking Shep I could with the character creator.

Come to think of it, I basically do that for all games.

I don't understand how you are able to run this on a transistor radio.

They are all the same bar the hair.

Low standards maybe?

(oh god jess I am so sorry)

Monkey Ball Warrior

You know, I rarely create male avatars in games. I have roughly a dozen wow toons and maybe 3 of them are male.

But when I started playing Mass Effect last year was surprised to see it was even an option. It didn't take me long to decide to stick with a male Shepard. To this day I'm not sure why, but going with a female avatar just didn't seem to fit right.

If I make another character though it will probably be female.

DarkPrimus

Been too long since we had a Mass Effect comic.

ASimPerson

I want to make a FemShep if I start over again and replay ME1. I realized afterward that, yeah, Jennifer Hale is that much better.

Melding

I voted for 5. almost instantly regretted it but then realized it was ahead by like 20,000 votes so mien didn't really make a big difference.

Skin and eye color too, but there are also a few other subtle changes.



1 and 2 have identical face structure, but 3's head is a bit larger, and there are some small jawbone angle alterations later in the loop.

I'd Fuck Chuck Lidell Up

I don't know why, but Shep1 just makes me think of Shmoo Ritchie from The Organ...

Stilts

Reading Tycho's newspost, I'm kind of amazed BlondeShep provoked such hatred.

How the hell does having medium-length blonde hair suddenly mean you can't be a badass woman?

SabreMau

Also, shouldn't the comic read "blonde" instead of "blond"?

She's really not. The whole "Jennifer Hale/Femshep is so much better" thing is getting so damn tiring to hear.

They're both fine.

What pun I don't see oh there it is.

Outstanding.

Oh, didn't realize the newspost was up already.

RoyceSraphim

I made mine look like a boss who was just fired. Never gonna tell her about it and have to explain that i was trying to get her to sleep with the white boy but the blue discount lesbian came out of nowhere. But you weren't a ho and stayed loyal.

So....Husk rachni and Asarii, how gross are they?

I don't think she is, she kinda sounds bored all the time!

I'm curious where you've been hearing a "tiring" amount of people say that, considering that only 18% of players played female

And Jennifer Hale is seriously so much better that it's kind of insane, and the fact that there's any debate at all seems kind of ridiculous to me

Der Waffle Mous

Oh wow this is really a thing.



How incredibly silly.

A little, but it's the best kind of bored.

The "I kill worlds before breakfast. You don't impress me, and I'm cranky already. Quit the bullshit" bored.

Having heard the arguments for both (the same exact fucking argument) they're both flat and so much better at delivering renegade lines than the other voice actor.

It's simply a matter of preference.

Poorochondriac

DudeShep always sounded vaguely confused and angry, as though he couldn't figure out how to fasten his pants and was enraged at the zipper

Doobh

Pooro, you're going down a terrible road

you haven't seen enough Mass Effect threads to know better
