I think this is a good idea, I always preferred FemShep and she seems to have a larger fan base than the standard male shep.

I think, they should have a different FemShep for each scene/shot. Scene 1 has FemShepA, Scene 2 has FemShepB, Scene 3 has FemShep1325, and so on.
I like both and have both characters.I think that Hale has too much oomph for a renegade while Meer get's the nearly antisocial voice perfectly.It's good to see she's included even if just for the choice system.
Btw anyone get the feeling the choice system of Bioware is actually exceptionally silly and shallow after playing The Witcher?Anyone?I mean I always favoured Bioware for it's choices but it doesn't have the same drastic change as one would expect.I really hope ME3 changes that.

Ugh, I forgot about that. Worst fucking character redesign I've seen in a long time. For as much as Bioware likes to portray themselves as "the masters of video game storytelling", they sure do have a lot things they should be ashamed of.Irridium said:Look what they did to Ashley Williams.Internet Kraken said:

It's about time FemShep got some marketing time. Although I'm going to have a great laugh at the sheer number of people who are going to flood the internet with their confusion once she begins showing up. I've met people who didn't even realize you could have anything other than the default soldier Shepard, and if they're any indication we should be in for some laughs.
People can be really dumb sometimes.

FemShep is canon. All others are non-believers.
As to her looks, hopefully they'll have some sort of competition about it (that's done sensibly so people won't submit deliberately awful looking models) or model her after her VA, Jen Hale.
My Shepard looks like a cross between Kana Static and Lara Croft, so obviously she's the best looking, and the perfect choice for the boxart.

Woohooo! Yes! I always liked Lady Shepard better! But why wouldn't they go with the default female's appearance? Canon Shepard is the default male after all...
Although obviously not the best character redesign, in what way is she being sexualised in that image?Irridium said:Look what they did to Ashley Williams.Internet Kraken said:

Her top now has a neck line, that doesn't expose cleavage or anything more than a bit of neck and very upper chest. She's not standing with her hips cocked out and arms akimbo, she's not dolled up in deep eyeshadow and bright red lipstick, she's not staring at the camera with come-hither eyes, and her figure is not exactly preposterous.
Sure you can argue that her figure has changed, but first off, larger breasts do not mean over-sexuialsation. In the first game Ashley and FemShep had such a similar bodyshape I'm not entirely sure they didn't just use the same mocap and knock off for the day, so her having a more prominently defined identity in contrast to FemShep is actually a step in the right direction.
Call me when they've got Ashley dressed in a bikini crawling on all four across the Galaxy Map, then we'll talk sexualisation.
I'm sure there are a lot more than just one fifth of players who like and play as FemShep. I, for one, don't upload my game info to BioWare, and three quarters of my playthroughs, roughly, are with FemSheps.
But regarding official trailers with FemShep... Well, to quote a certain StarCraft 2 trailer: "Damn... It's about time." ^_^

Yeah, I'm over-exaggerating. But going from the tom-boy that she was into what she is now... it's just jarring. Plus that was the first we've seen of her. I wouldn't be surprised if it changed in the future. To what, well we got to wait and see for that.MelasZepheos said:Although obviously not the best character redesign, in what way is she being sexualised in that image?Irridium said:Look what they did to Ashley Williams.Internet Kraken said:

FemShep is much much better than Normal Shepard. The voice work is perfect and she can bring out that bitchiness only women can do when you pick the renaged options!
Well ever since I saw the big demo thing where they showed that it wasn't just being to be a rousing game of Gears of War IN SPAAAAACE I'm quietly optimstic. BioWare seem to have listened to their fans about the removal of RPG elements from the first game to the second, so presumably the point of releasing Ashley redesign concept art so early was to allow for changes to be made. BioWare do seem to listen to their fans more than other developers, and the outcry over 'slut-Ashley' seemed to be one of the bigger ones on the BioWare forums (to me at least) so here's hoping...Irridium said:
