    I could pass on a Baldwin Shepherd. Fillion, though? They best have an armor somewhere in the game that's just a long, brown coat. Because I will be wearing that fucker everywhere.

    Fillion would be a terrible Shepard
    /disagree

    He'd just be different.

    with the current face, yes. with a custom face, or if they had a different "cannon" shepard face, I think he'd probably do fine.

    See it from my perspective. A guy walks up to you and your best friend, attempts to put his arm around you, and goes "Hey ladies, I'm the Shep-Meister. Lemme buy you a drink." While smiling, with his eyebrows doing such an Audubon-quality recreation of two caterpillars mating that you're 95% sure that's a David Attenborough commentary cassette he has jammed in the crotch of his pants.

    so his parents named him Theodore Shepmeister! why you gotta hate so much

    The only way that could be less sexy is if he blew a small hand horn after every sentence like a demented clown.

    Theodore is a burly name for a burly man

    I shall make a new Shepard tonight named Theodore and gift him with the mighty chops of a lumberjack. It's too bad that Shepard can't have a proper man-mane and rich, luxurious chest hair. Like a persian carpet of testosterone.

    Theodore the Tugboat is so burly that the women of Halifax disrobe on reflex when he sails by.

    And may I remind you of Theodore Roosevelt, the manliest man in the entire history of the United States. All presidents should be required to be shot in the chest before delivering a speech of no less then 90 minutes length.

    ITT we find out what kind of shepard the ladies would want.

    I'm glad those renegade videos were posted. I was very curious to see what kind of play experience I'd get with a renegade shepard, and frankly he's too much of an asshole. The punches in the face are funny to watch, of course, but even I made a :O face when he punched the reporter.

    I love how all the angry moms got upset over the sex scenes, and all this renegade debauchery just kind of sat in the shadows.

    Has this been talked about yet?

    http://news.idg.no/cw/art.cfm?id=C6CCCE9F-1A64-6A71-CE798565ED423340
    Game On: In Mass Effect 2 we play as Commander Shepard again, a guy who finished up the first game with some pretty advanced abilities. As I understand it, you're resetting the character back to ability basics. How are you dealing with that retrograde motion story-wise?

    Casey Hudson: There's something that's happening with the story that explains what happens with your abilities. It's something we can't go into detail about for obvious reasons, but it actually happens the other way around. Our goal with the story, in terms of getting the game started quickly and players into really compelling story situations...that dictated and allowed us to do certain things including changing the way that your abilities work and the way you develop your character.

    Part of it, too, is the fact that we've gone in and improved literally every system in the game, your powers, the controls, aiming, the way that your character stats work and how you build a character, the inventory system, weapons, and so on. All of those things have been dramatically improved, so there's no direct way to map the stuff you had in Mass Effect over to Mass Effect 2 anyway.

    That said, we're taking into account all of your accomplishments in terms of building a character from the first game. So things you'd expect to be acknowledged, like if you were a level 60 character, or you were highly Renegade and don't want to start out at the middle again. If you import your save game from Mass Effect, these kinds of things will be acknowledged in ways that map across to the new system. You will feel, even in terms of the character that you build, that you are continuing as that character.

    So basically a confirmation that yes, everything will be reset for ME2 so that we can re-level in Bioware's new system.

    I really hope they fix that. Marksman is insanely overpowered compared to the other weapon skills. I want to choose to really play a sniper (which I'm doing) or a shotgun Vanguard and not feel like I'm gimping myself.

    If the pistol is the best weapon type in your game, you fucking did it wrong IMO. Hell, if there IS a clear best weapon type in the game you probably did it wrong.
