I just got a "Your Order is Shipping Earlier Than Expected" email from Amazon hoping that maybe my CE would actually get here on time. It was just for Bioshock Infinite. Why do you torture me so, Amazon?


Here's my Shepard again since we were on this page by the time I got the image working right.

 

[Indrid Cold1]

My Shepard

Looks a bit like Q off of Star Trek

 

[Arjen]

My main, miss Josie Shepard.

And my male super badd ass getting a lot of people killed Shepard

cellphone pics, so excuse the shitty quality

 

[RoboPlato]

Damn, Arjen's male Shep looks like a total badass.

 

[Sober]

ME3 has much better looking custom chars.

Female ME2 faces in the CC look weird as fuck but fortunately look fine in motion. At least they fixed that in ME3, just not the lighting (again and again).

 

[Palette Swap]

If you want to listen to his thoughts, go here and skip to the ~54 minute mark. He does talk about the DLC character though.

Tom's impressions have me really excited and curious now.
What he says about the RPG balance, the writing, the ending and how the game relates to the first two has me genuinely interested.
(spoiling his opinion of the game just in case, he isn't explicit about what goes on)

Spoiler

I kind of wonder, but don't want to know, what he means when he says they made a brave choice for the ending, how he absolutely loved it but he can see people hating it. Since I tend to agree with Tom about writing most of the time, I'm not worried, just curious.

So, I romanced Liara in 1, got with Jack in 2, but reaffirmed my romance with Liara in Shadow Broker...

Does this have any implications in 3?

I'm in the same situation, except I had Miranda instead of Jack. I hope my shenanigans do get mentionned, just to see how they play out.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

ME 3 has been leaked, be careful!

 

[Dany]

I think they took out film grain because each 'area' has its own filter to it to give it its own aesthetic. Beyond the colored lighting, each area they've shown has a specific 'look' for it.

 

[MadraptorMan]

If that's true I wish they would push up the release date so I could play this weekend... :/

Really looking forward to experience another adventure with my Femshep:

Still pretty pleased with my design from 2007!

Is she supposed to be cross-eyed?

Awesome

 

[bryanee]

ShopTo just shipped this today in the UK - isn't the EU release date the 9th?

They havent, they started processing orders last night due to the large number of pre-orders. None will be shipped until Wednesday, it says so on your account page.

 

[CharmingCharlie]

Thought I would chuck my oar in too :-

This is my femshep in Mass Effect 2 :-

and just for laughs here is Bioware's interpretation of my Femshep in the Mass Effect 3 demo :-

I get the feeling by ME 3 my femshep has really gone a bit too OTT with the whole lesbian thing so much so she shaved her head bald. Yeah yeah I know it's a demo and not all of the blah de blah is working but it doesn't exactly inspire "confidence".

 

[zroid]

That looks eerily similar to my second female Shepard.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Commander William Shepard. Took my ME2 face code and input into the ME3 demo.

Apologies for the shitty iPhone 4 pics straight from my hdtv.

 

[Kem0sabe]

You know what pisses me off? Publishers and developers always pointing their fingers at the PC user base for piracy, when console pirated releases run rampant.

We have to deal with all this DRM crap and the xbox pirated version of ME3 is already all over the net.

 

[zonezeus]

Is there any way to transfer PC ME2 saves to PS3? I played the first one on Xbox360, then went PC with Mass Effect 2 and now I want to but the third one on PS3, because a lot of my friends are getting it and I really dig playing multiplayer with them.

 

[RyanDG]

Weird going back to your Shepard from 2008.

I'll get her Mass Effect 2 version posted it up when I'm on my main computer (running this one off my laptop which ME2 can't run on).

 

[Bioloff]

So if I don't have a mass effect 1 or 2 save, will I get the "canon" decisions?

 

[CharmingCharlie]

That looks eerily similar to my second female Shepard.

You have excellent taste then ;-) . I have a couple of vids of her in action if anyone is interested :-

http://www.youtube.com/user/charm3rs/videos

No ME 3 spoilers in the videos but there are plenty of ME 2 spoilers in there. At any rate it will help people pass the time on whilst they wait for ME 3.

Not as far as I know.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Supposedly there are no "official canon" decisions, according to BioWare. You're supposed to be presented with an interactive comic that recaps the series and allows you to make key storyline decisions.

 

[Dany]

I don't have pics but whenever I'd create a new kate shepard face or a new jack shepard. The face is always the same. I always have go to on how I like my femshep and maleshep.


My femshep actually looks quite a bit like Renee from 24,

PS3 one as well.



Waiting until Friday will be hard (EU)

[Deleted member 81567]

Here's my main Shepard

 

[FleckSplat]

Damn, I think I get off work on Monday at 9PM. Was hoping the game would unlock midnight PST but it's EST now, shit.

Better sleep in until work on Monday I guess.

Uh, that means it unlocks at 9 pm for you...

 

[bryanee]

Weird, he looks just like mine.

 

[Bisnic]

Seems like everyone is showing their Shepard, i got 4!

Paragon Infiltrator Fem Shep :

Renegade Adept Fem Shep :

Paragon Sentinel Male Shep :

Renegade Vanguard Male Shep :

I'm going to have fun in the coming weeks.

Hopefully the hair will look better this time, especially for my infiltrator.

 

[Pezking]

Is she supposed to be cross-eyed?

Yeah, a bit! Somehow I managed to do that.

I thought it was weird at first, but then I found it rather cute and unique. And from most perspectives, it's not even noticable.

 

[grkazan12]

So I got my save file off the 360 and although the game does notice it, the problem is that I need two pieces of dlc. The problem that I'm having now is that the Hammerhead DLC (free) won't install on windows 7 because of an NSIS error.

I tried the /NCRC trick but it say Installation Failed! when it tries to install it.

 

[daxter01]

Arjen male Shep is so badass

 

[EatChildren]

My Shepard is a little bit crosseyed too but thats okay because it's her imperfections that make her such a perfect waifu.

 

[zonezeus]

Not as far as I know.

Bummer. So it's either PC version for me or PS3 version for multiplayer plus... other options for the story. Or double dip, but I don't think I have that many Paragon points to choose this dialogue option...

 

[adg1034]

Paragon Sentinel Male Shep :

Barack Shepard is best Shepard.

 

[shinobi602]

 

[RoboPlato]

At least your delivery estimate is launch day. I have to wait until the 8th. What am I going to do for TWO days?

 

[Skidd]

Commander Barack Shepard? Cannot unsee.

Play Mass Effect 2 while I play Mass Effect 3?

 

[RoboPlato]

This seems like the best solution. Hopefully when I wake up the otters don't crush me like a clam on their bellies.

 

[Dany]

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

The A40 headset was supposed to arrive on time for Mass Effect 3, but the delivery estimate shifted a few days. I wanted to have that Clint Mansell sounding all good on my ear from day one. I should have ordered them a few weeks back just in case something like this happened.

N7 Collector's Edition doe!

 

[CrazyDude]

I won't be able to play the game until a week. Plus, I still have to beat ME2 in a week.

 

[Bisnic]

Commander Barack Shepard? Cannot unsee.

Well, i did name him Obama Shepard.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Prepping gaming day goodies to keep me energised and healthy for my inevitable blitzkrieg playthrough once I have my copy.

So far I've got;

http://www.abload.de/img/1tujo3.jpg[img]

Delirium Tremens is my absolute favourite beer, and I haven't tried the other one so whatever.

Now I need snacks. I'm thinking maybe nachos. Though chips might be better.[/QUOTE]

I don't drink, so the un-dulled sting of any horrible dialog will be felt by me in it's entirety.

This looks exactly like my femshep, only mine must dye her hair blonde because she has black brows.

The funniest thing is my male Shepard ended up looking like Obama also, though not as close as yours, and was completely unintentional.

I had a fantastic bald Grace Jones looking Shepard in ME1, but I never beat the game with her, and there's not enough time now

 

[Bruce Lee Kicks]

I think I'm gonna be using the default FemShep in ME3 (sadface.jpg), I don't have the patience to try and recreate mine seeing as the imported face code made her look horrible.

 

[Minion101]

Patience comes to those who wait for shipping
