Description I've been waxing nostalgic about ME1 lately... The sad thing is that I'll never play the game again because when I tried, I realized how terrible and wretched and painful the combat system is. Especially when you compare it to the two other games in the series. I just can't go through that again...


That being said, I still loved the game, the story was fantastic and seeing Kaidan finally getting together with Femshep was a very sweet moment for me. This piece is a very simple homage to that particular moment. Also, I realize that, unfortunately, my Femshep's model here is from ME3 but there's not much I can do about that, right?

If you know who extracted the casual uniform model for Femshep, please let me know so that I can credit them properly!

I love ME1 shenko. And this looks amazing!


Where did you get the ME1 Shepard bod from. I have been looking for one of those. All I have is Onyx armor.

Thank you so very much, sweetie! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the person who made that model here on DA. It could be because they're no longer here but I'm sending you a note with a link where you'll be able to download the model I have.

Great job as always.  I love ME1 still, yeah okay the combat isn't that great but you've gotta love the Mako!  This was a great moment in the game.  I doubt I was the only who swooned when Kaidan takes you in his arms.

Thanks, hun! The Mako?! Ugh.... The only good thing about that vehicle is that for some unexplainable reason, it would never overturn no matter what. I gotta say though that driving it has allowed me to improve my video game driving skills considerably.


I doubt I was the only who swooned when Kaidan takes you in his arms.


Oh no you weren't! That was such a great and rewarding moment, albeit way too short. And Kaidan was just so sweet and adorable back then, wasn't he? But I really liked the fact that in spite of that, he still had enough balls to questions some of Shepard's decisions and/or give her his honest opinion.

Hee! I totally know how you feel! The only difference is that, in my case, the same realization came to me as I was playing Assassin's Creed II and I developed a big crush on Ezio Auditore.

Awww this reminds me of the old days of ME lol. See I love the story of ME1 because it wasn't that tense like in the next two parts. I liked the story and the romance with Kaidan. What I don't like is the battle system of course lol. But hey, I still love it

Anyway, to comment your piece of artwork; it's lovely and sweet, and when I look at it I think about the locker scene and wonder if that would happen if Joker hand interrupted them

Thank you, sweetie! Yes, I agree that the story in ME seemed to progress at better pace than in the other two games. What I thought ruined the pacing in ME2 and ME3 is that we were constantly told that Shepard needed to bring the main mission to completion ASAP and yet we had all those side missions and "errands" to complete in order to get more military assets and what not... Hopefully, Bioware will correct that in the next instalments.


It's interesting that you and =PistachioInfernal have both mentioned the locker scene because that's the one I was going to do originally but the background I found for it would have made the posing a bit awkward.

Yeah, I hate the combat in ME1, alas the day. You could always look up a 'let's play' or sommat on Youtube.

This is a lovely version of the locker scene

Thanks, hun! I've actually used a couple of walkthroughs to help me with the tougher parts but I think it had more to do with my lacking skills at shooting than it did with strategy. Precision shooting with a controller can be very hard sometimes, especially if your target is moving a lot.  Or maybe I should simply try another class. I think the second time I picked a Sentinel but I probably should have picked an Adept, my favorite one.

I knowww, stupid scope. Thank god for the 'shaky hand' mods in ME3.
Yeah, go for another class, you can always change it to another class in ME2, right?

Walkthroughs can be a lot of fun! There never have the same primal quality of playing the game itself, but if there's good editing, they can be as good as a movie

You're so lucky... I did love ME1 and yes, there are more options in terms of roleplay, which sets it apart from the other two games. But I really have no patience for the combat, especially against the Geth and when you have to fight while driving that damn Mako!  LOL!  


And thank you for the lovely feedback, it's very much appreciated.

What's so bad about the combat in ME1?  Maybe it's because I've only just recently played it for the first time, but it seems fine to me.  I like it way better than the 2nd, where they actually give you ammo that can run out.  Not being able to do more about the gun overheating sucks, too.  In ME1 I had my FemShep set up to a point where it was impossible for her to overheat her pistols no matter how long I kept them firing.  In 2 I have to keep changing out those stupid clips.  Haven't had the chance to play 3 yet.  Missed getting it cheap on Origin so I need to wait for another sale or wait for my roommate to buy it.
