Description "It's nice to feel like I have a life," says Shepard, now approaching fifty. "I spent a lot of my years fighting to survive. Back then, living to see thirty was a miracle; living to fifty was unheard of."

nice idea, but 20 year jump might be bit too short to age so much, if humans in ME universe live up to 150. Shep in her 50's propably won't have aged that much

I don't really think it's out of the realm of possibility for Shepard to have aged that much in twenty years; it's a canon option for her to have gray/graying hair in ME3 alone, and there are plenty of older characters present in the game that are around the age she's presented as here (Hackett, as an example is 52 and he's pretty well-worn). 


Her actual age and re-building aside, Rea goes through a lot of shit - particularly after the war is over and done with - that definitely ages her.

Thanks! I spend so much time focused on younger Shepard, I thought it would be nice to peek into the future a little

Thanks! I've been spending a lot of time reading 3DSMax Tutorials lately, and I was itching to use some of what I learned, haha.

Wow!

This picture is amazing!


P.S. Be sure to punch Khalisah for me.

Thank you


Rea's far too much of a sweetie to punch Khalisah; she will talk some pretty good circles around her if need be, though!

N7-Spectre In reply to hackett-out [2013-11-10 18:07:38 +0000 UTC]

Ah, so I take it Rea's a Paragon?


My Sheperd was *always* Paragon but punching her was just too funny sometimes!  

Plus it made her learn some hand to hand skills in ME3.

hackett-out In reply to N7-Spectre [2013-11-10 18:44:57 +0000 UTC]

Rea's definitely a Paragon, yeah. Punching Khalisah was just way too much of a dick move for her, especially since she's pretty much a super-soldier with advanced combat training and Khalisah was just...an annoying civilian reporter.


I wanna believe Khalisah got a better job after the war, though.  I actually really loved the (Paragon) interactions with her, especially in #3.

N7-Spectre In reply to hackett-out [2013-11-10 18:50:49 +0000 UTC]

Same here, but it was always good for a laugh. 

That and punching Manuel on Eden Prime in Mass Effect 1 then saying "It's just a little bump on the head"


The Paragon interaction in #3 was definetly my favorite, although even in #2 it was pretty cool. Reciting the names of all the Human ships that gave "their" lives to save the Council (if you choose that option).


I was too Paragon to do any of those renagade moves with my main Sheperd, Michael.

Oh my god, this is just beautiful... simply beautiful! I love the contrast between young and old Shepard.


Also, Shepard of Colour! YES!

Thank you! I don't get to use old Shepard enough, I think I'm going to have to rectify that in the future
