The FemShep thing is a debacle, all right - because it insinuates that all pretty blonde women must of course also be stupid.

The most brilliant woman I know happens to look a lot like FemShep. Ex-military, too.

Guys, isn't it obvious? It's http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001732/

[url=#user_comment_72125]@Verdict[/url] HaHA, horrifying violence ensues.

Dare call that woman in the middle a bimbo to her face.

I feel as if I'm the only one who absolutely doesnt care on what the official FemShep will look like.

[url=#user_comment_71536]@TheVampirate[/url]: Nah, the MaleShep is obviously just a gender-swap from his Male counterpart. He was added because male leads sells better. :P

MY VISION IS AUGMENTED.

FemShep would so totally launch an orbital attack on the reporter's ass if she badmouths her again. None of that sissy thing of MalShep of punching the reporter, FemShep would use the Norway

That's the fun of the internet and internet voting, you won't please everyone and they're free to bitch and moan. Blonde, she's a bimbo. Black haired she's emo. Red, soulless ginger, brunette, too plain. Changing race is the real fun as it's almost impossible to get any racial example "perfect"

This is kinda random, but I think you should do some more L4D 1/2 comics. Some of the custom campaigns/sayings in the game have great material. Sometimes, when Zoey saves Louis, she says "Anything for you, Louis."

Meh. I like blonde shep. I didnt expect shep to have perfect hair when she's fighting reapers. So the disheveled look fit better.

Blonde. Lean. Green eyes. Stern look. Blood elf?

j.g.l.

[url=#user_comment_71566]@anon[/url] Yay. My femshep is called aran shepard. P.s. Samus shepard sounded wrong to me and I still think of my femshep as seperate person aka the samus that should have been in other m.

I support Samus Aran as femshep.

I hate whining fans

The people who are the loudest are NOT the majority. They are just louder.
Same with femshep. Ho wmany play female shep? 10%? But of course THEY NEEEEED an official femshep and even then they are not happy.
Go chew on a doublebarrelshotgun and do the Cobain dance.

[url=#user_comment_71554]@Biggles[/url]: The "default" femShep in ME and ME2 was generated using the custom character tool, whereas the default maleShep was a unique model that could not be replicated with the customization tools. The poll was for a look for the default femShep to have.

I say Abominashep. Look it up on youtube if you don't already know.

My only issue is that there was already a default femshep look in me1, why didn't they just use that?

I would like that Fem Shep with half blonde, half red hair. I mean the half of the left, be located same as the right :P

One of the issues is that the FemShep that was chosen was not a model that could be made in the game. Of course people are going to choose the the one they haven't seen before because its new and different. they shouldn't have let people choose IMO, just give us a FemShep. Default is for suckers

Ok now. I've played with the Female Shepard, the one defined by me: with the look of a Native South American. But we can't chose the eye color, and that was the only problem I had with the creation tool. See, I'm not going with the stock, EA and Bioware did this so everyone remembers the bimbo!

Hey, I know the woman on the second panel.

thank you bioware :(

Should have made one boob ridiculously big and the other very petit

[url=#user_comment_71507]@palm[/url]:"Were talking about a strong, independent, blond woman. the game industry needs more of those!" FemShep is anything but an independent woman, she is nothing more than a genderswap of her male counterpart with a bleach blond dye job.

She looks a lot like Samus Aran to me.

Call Samus a blonde bimbo. Go ahead. See what happens.

The reason people are understandably upset with this decision is because there's a subset of ME players that played FemShep (about 17-18%) and the poll to choose the new FemShep model was given to FACEBOOK where people who HADN'T even PLAYED the game voted for the blonde (unlike the default black)

Yeah... personally I think Femshep makes the most sense as a redhead...

I don't why the community is complaining about the blonde FemShep. It was YOU (the community) who chose the FemShep. Not BioWare, not EA, you. So QUIT BITCHIN'!

@Professor Steel: Actually, there was a decent deal of variation between the models. There were about two or three groups in which hair/eye color was the only difference...........

As long as they don't force me to play as the default FemShep I honestly couldn't care less.

I love how the only difference is hair and skin/eye colour.
Blondes aren't automatically bimbos guys.

Looks like Moetron now http://goo.gl/FHz0o (for people not familiar with her)

Couldn't they just use the default FemShep as posterversion like the did it with the male version? No... they couldn't.

I'm just pissed they automatically label her Bimbo because she's blonde.
Seriously. Still Shepard. Still badass. Just blonde.

[url=#user_comment_71507]@Palm[/url]: Yeah, we could do with one of those, especially after what was done to Samus... ;_;

Wait, what? Being blond makes you bimbo now? And even if you think of her as a bimbo on first sight you only have to let her talk for 30 seconds and that illusion should be erased. Actually, this is great. Were talking about a strong, independent, blond woman. the game industry needs more of those!

No opinion of characters unless there is a stat difference.

Even though i prefer a red head Shepard, i think the blond one is a good match.

But still, i play with default male Shepard so...

My Femshep is blonde, and I like It (But long hair sucks for soldier)

Hey, it's Unity! From Skin Horse!

I personally just hated the pose that they had the femSheps in, they all looked so angry.

Personally I would have liked the chosen femShep's eyes and hairstyle, but with red hair. The only redhead was practically shaved bald...

So the chosen FemShep is blonde. So what? It's not like being blonde automatically drops your IQ or anything. Frankly, as far as I can tell, almost all the people complaining about her being blonde are just pissed off that their choice didn't win. Cue "Not my Shepard!" stupidity.

I just wonder why they didn't use the default femshep. That's what most art had previously depicted.

I agree with TheVampirate.

Reminds me of Unity from Skin Horse.

Note that the female model is to be used for collector's edition only. The poster boy Shepherd will still be on box!

Link to FemShep screenies?

[url=#user_comment_71481]@TheVampirate[/url] during intense gameplay the last thing you would be staring at is your characters ass

i usually pick a female character because i don't like looking at man ass for 20+ hours of gameplay in 3rd person shooters.

95% of the time I play default Male Shepard because that's just the picture that I see associated with the face and can't stand when I see someone with a customized one cause the voice hasn't changed at all.

I kind of want to do a Fem Shep because Jennifer Hale is great.

The mixed Shep seems like the cloaking suit from A Scanner Darkly o.O

Femshep looks better in this strip than in the screenshots. (I meant he second one.)

I don't understand why they didn't just use the default Femshep from 1 and 2. What was wrong with her?

Fem!Shep fans are... scary to me. I'm going to keep my M!Shep over here, where no one is going to cry 'Death to Shepard 5.' The power of boobs indeed...

first XD
