Why Robin Makes Batman Better Before the default female Commander Shepard received her very public and slightly drastic makeover, artists had to come up with a ton of ideas on just what she could/would look like.
Mass Effect 3‘s “Take Back the Earth” trailer was lovely and all, but for many fans of the franchise it featured the wrong main character. Entertainment Weekly‘s PopWatch has an exclusive trailer that fixes that oversight. Go look! [EW.com]
Confession: I hate creating characters in video games. Despite the fact I’ve spent 40 hours with him in Tamriel, I couldn’t even tell you what my Skyrim character looks like. My Shepard in Mass Effect? He’s the guy on the box. I can’t be bothered. I just want to be the guy on the box.
The Femshep love-fest spreads from trailer to box art, as BioWare’s official unboxing of the two-disc Xbox 360 version of Mass Effect 3 reveals reversible cover art for fans of Shepard’s female form.
When BioWare let fans decide what the ‘official’ Femshep would look like via Facebook, there was a bit of backlash – a backlash towards the whole process, and the fact they were changing her from the default female option in Mass Effect 1 and 2, then a little bit of a kerfuffle when the blonde won. Then BioWare moved the goalposts – that vote was just for the facial structure, they claimed, before asking us to vote on the colour of Femshep’s hair.
