Description
So I decided shortly after I kicked Call of Duty out of my computer ( hopefully for good ), to look into some other games.This was actually when I happened to come across Mass Effect 1 and 2 during the Steam sale, and decided to buy both of them.
And what can I say....well, I really like these games, I really do. The storyline is quite unique, and it reminds me a bit of Final Fantasy, except in space. Ive been missing to play a rpg for some time now, and I couldnt go back to Final Fantasy again since I didnt feel like my kind of games anymore.
..................................
Anyways, Im gonna try to explain this image without any spoilers. This is my Shepard.
Alexandra Shepard, raised on earth and sole survivor. Of what Ive experienced through the game based on the descisions I make, she's quite the caretaker of people, high paragon, soldier, and she often offers an hand to help. Rarely resorts to renegade options.
This is how she looks in ME2 based on the save file from the first game.
Without saying any spoilers, she DID survive to the end, and I have a Mass Effect 3 save file ready. But Im planning now to replay the game one more time with her current level and sort out some things that went a bit wrong at the end.
Lets just say I want some better options for the third game.
Artist Note:
Yes, I will probably draw Alexandra at some point. But I have to think about it a little since I belive that this character should be dealt with some respect before I draw her. She is my own creation afterall so to speak, I wouldnt draw anything that would be against her nature.
Mass Effect (c) Bioware

And i also Recommend that if you play ME then do it with a Female character the voice acting seems better for a female Sheppard IMO

Yea both Me2 are fun games and i cant wait for the third but play the game many times before you try on Insane, insane can make you annoyed at hell over the game :<

Mass Effect are GREAT games, I have never played fem shep though and have gone with the default male Shepard cause I think he looks more BA that way
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
she's way hotter than the first game's visuals
I got both games during a steam sale too
I just finished me1 as a female adept paragon.
If you want multiplayer scifi shooting and don't already have halo, you might try Section 8 Prejudice.

Lookin' Nifty :3
Something i do with games like Dragon Age and Mass Effect is i have my main Playthrough, and then i have my Bizzarro playthrough. This isnt the same as a "Good vs Evil" or "Renegade Vs Paragon" playthrough.. I just make my Bizzarro character the opposite gender and then make all the opposite decisions, to see how it works out
Though i'm tempted to make a Judge Dredd character that makes all the neutral decisions, seeing as my Normal/Bizzarro characters tend to swing heavily one way or the other

My Male Shepard has the very same story/background set up. I got the games on my Xbox 360 since my computer isn't powerful enough and when I do try to run games on it(even WoW on lowest settings) it acts like it is held together with duct tape and silly putty.
They are fantastic games though and was especially happy from a console perspective to get both games and all the DLC for a little less than 80 bucks.
I know they won't do it for ME3, but I wish they would do away with the thermal clips and bring back unlimited ammo guns that the only drawback was overheating(which was rendered a non-issue, when I applied Frictionless Material X to my assault rifle, making it pretty much infinite fire with no overheat).

I dont mind the new clip system since you can pick up the ammo easily after every fight. I just wish I get to fire the nuke weapon a bit more often
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Yeah, though after I first tried to use the nuke weapon, I decided not to mess with it. Almost killed myself when I got it out to deal with a giant mech and I somehow got caught on a wall and which hid my view of the mech and when I got out form the wall in my hectic rush I fired it right at the mech that some how moved faster than they usually do and was almost right next to me. I was so close to death that one stray bullet probably would have killed me.
I'd be okay with the clips if more of them dropped more often. Even in casual, I would get in a fire fight with 10 to 15 guys and after the battle I search for clips and find maybe two or three. On casual, since it is just that, I would expect for one clip drop from every kill.
The battles with husks near the end felt almost hard on casual because there were so many and they pretty much never dropped clips.
Talking on favorite weapons, ME2 was the first and only game I bought DLC that was just weapons and no gameplay/missions. I bought the "firepower pack" for something like three dollars in Microsoft points. It contains an okay Geth shotgun, an awesome Heavy Rifle(basically like an assault rifle, but with a smaller clip, though it isn't a problem because it is like 4 times as accurate because it lets you make single bullet controlled bursts, basically making it like a incredibly fast sniper rifle), and the final gun is the amazing Phalanx pistol. The Phalanx comes with a blue laser sight that makes head shots cake. It also helps that those guns have the largest amount of attack power of those gun types in the game.
I'll be quite interested in seeing what the new weapon, the "Omni-sword" will be like, when ME3 comes out.

That thing is a real pain to get charged up. I loved the concept, but i only used it twice.. the first time i missed and sent the shell careering off a balcony and into a residential area, and the second time the Krogan i was aiming at ran straight towards me and the explosion took us both out!

It's close to mine as well, though I went with the fiery red-head look. She looks very much like Kelly, which saddened me when I saw her in ME2, lol.
I'm guessing from your tone that the very last mission in ME2 didn't go exactly as planned. Ah well, it happens. Because of the consequences of it though, I still think it's one of the best "mission" I've seen in all of gaming history, where your skills as a commander of a squad of very different people all specializing in different things is really put to the test. Even when I was sure I had made the right decision, and was shown correctly in the ensuing cutscenes, I was still on the edge of my seat all throughout.
The games themselves truly are masterful. I have both a male and female Shep ready and raring to go(only made the male shep recently once I found out you can actually have Tali be your girlfriend in game).

Yeeaahh...thats true. I had some things at the end that didnt go as I wanted it to go. Lets just say I didnt have a bad ending, but it could have been better.

Strange it looks almost exactly like my Femshep, guess Mass Effect's character customization is not as deep as the Elder Scroll series or various other RPGs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, Ive seen my femshep behave through both 1 and 2, and it works pretty well. She does look quite alive and not *soul less* like some game character does

I tried to get into Mass Effect, I reeeeeally tried. But the not so great gameplay of the first (tried a demo of the second and I will say it was good), lack of customization that suited my style for males (would you like short hair, shorter hair, or even shorter hair?), and my compulsion to run around and talk to EVERYONE just led to it not being for me.
Perhaps one day I'll sit down and give it a third shot.

I was quite skeptical at Mass Effect at the start, but when you start to get people and weapons. Damn nice

I nearly bought ME1 and 2 during the same Steam sale, but my Steam account was messed up, and after may frustrating attempts to sort it out, I decided I couldn't be bothered. My friend bought both, though, and it does look like a pretty cool game.
And yeh, I can imagine you drawing her in the future, hehe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well she is quite the serious character. So I need a good setting for it. Even IF its nudity or vore. Any ideas?

There are thresher maws you know.

I'm not familiar enough with the game story to be able to suggest anything.
It doesn't have to be vore, though. I could see her in a classic pulp sci-fi scene, perhaps a lady in peril, with her uniform ripped in appropriate places, and her chest heaving as she fights for her life against an alien.

Actually I have an idea based on what you said and a blood elf image I saw ages ago. I wont spoil anything, but it should be up that alley.
I'll see what I can do

I do like the idea of ladies in peril and wearing lots of armour. Hmmmm...
