Mass effect "hot" chicks

Yeah, kinda like there was a character designer in the office one day, inputting her dimensions, then Casey Hudson comes up over their shoulder and suggested they multiply the T&A ratios by ten, because market research showed that adolescent boys weren't getting enough boobs out of their Mass Effect experience. It's the same issue that causes a warrior-monk with a strict code of ethics and honor to walk around with her armor unfastened and approximately as much cleavage as the diameter of Lake Huron.the spud said:
Miranda, it's like Angry Joe said. She looks like Michael Jackson.
I know this has been pointed out repeatedly but Ashley is NOT racist. She merely doesn't believe we need "aliens" to further HUMAN goals. She even compliments and shows compassion to the other non-humans in the crew and that you meet.Seanfall said:
I really wish people would stop just regurgitating things they read somewhere without paying attention to how she really acted.
OT - I think Jack and Miranda are the most unattractive of the series by far, looks and personality both hollow and boring. While Ashley isn't a beauty queen I did find her semi-attractive and interesting. Though I will say without shame that I am a Tali fanboy 100%.
Here's my question: if they really, really have to insist on turning Mass Effect into Gears of War Effect, could they at least copy GoW's decision to have female characters wear things that wouldn't be a massive liability in combat? I want more of this:numbersix1979 said:
and less of this:
Actually I find Miranda rather pretty, but its creepy as shit pretty because you know that its been manufactured o.o or at least thats how i feel

Miranda: I don't think she's attractive, and I don't like her at all. "I'm so perfect, yet so scarred." Grah, just shut up already.
Jack: She's pretty, but I don't like her either.
Ashley: Is right in the middle for me. I think she's alright in looks, and in character.
Liara: Cute. I like her character as well. She was even more interesting in ME2. Talk about change.
Samara: Is elegant, well-built, and down-right intriguing (I literally listened to everything she had to say. I asked her so many questions), but that freakin' jaw. It's massive. I can't stop looking at it.
Though I play a fem-shep and I kept going after Garrus or Thane. I have a thing for tough alien men. All this talk really makes me want to playthrough the game AGAIN, and you know what, I think I will!

Ah, the old "if you don't spend all of your time pointing out everything everywhere is sexist, you can't point out sexism in a particular instance" fallacy, just when I was taking your argument a little seriously. I believe I may have been trolled. If so, well played sir.

Seriously. I know a lot of people seem to have some weird boner for shy girls with technical skills, but that really shouldn't stop you from recognizing how much of a dick her entire species is in this regard.
Except that would still be horrible in combat. There's a reason modern soldiers don't go into combat dressed in medieval plate armour, primarily that it's incredibly heavy, doesn't stop bullets and metal has a tendancy to breach inward and get stuck in your wounds. Not to mention, they've missed the most important part of realistic armour.. Why the hell doesn't she have a helmet? Is her hair woven with advanced nanofibres which can protect her from shrapnel? For that matter.. why does she have hair and, assuming she has to have it, why is it loose? Even Ashley had managed to tie her impractical hair back and had an optional helmet.Kahunaburger said:
Soldiers in the Mass Effect universe either wear kinetic barriers or suits made of advanced materials. Mobility > heavy armour. Miranda's unique class is equivalent to a Sentinel in alliance military terms, which means having her wear light armour is not inconsistent. While this doesn't excuse some of the outfits in ME2, it should be obvious that the armour design has very different priorities.
It's not even particularly less exploitative as neither suggests a realistic character. It comes down to whether you're really into penis envy or have a secret rubber fetish.
Ashley >>>>> Miranda.
Ash has the whole "girl next door" thing going on. Miranda is constantly trying to shove her superiority in everyone's faces and that kind of personality is just intensely unattractive. She grew on me as a team member when she told the Illusive Man to shove it, but unfortunately that was at the end of the game.
As far as Jack goes, I wish there was an option to leave her in that prison ship and watch her get spaced. Just because you had a crappy childhood, you don't get a free pass to be a psychotic *****. There are plenty of people that come from crappy backgrounds that turn out to be fine people, people that learn compassion from their own suffering. It just shows that mentally, she's an immature child and probably always will be. If I were in Commander Shepard's position, I would never trust someone like that to have my back.

I don't find ANY of the romances on ME to be appealing. Jack is the only one I can stand. Miranda is NOT what the dev's thought she was, evidently. Tali has the whole Geth thing, and the fact that she's a twat to Legion. Thane... Errg. I don't like the idea of romancing someone who has a dead wife and a son you help reconnect him with. Garrus is a cocky prat. Jacob has very little actual personality I've seen.
But that's just my opinion, no need to go spreading it around.

i think because she's made of pixels, normal hot doesn't quite apply, if she was real she'd be like olivia wilde crossed with.... some one else scary hot, anyway, my point is that her model has been ruined by over exaggeration of things that would be attractive on an actual person, as a bunch of pixels she's just abit weird looking.
Edit: i like her as a character though, i think the under arching vulnerability makes her sufferable.
Also, Ashley = God. just throwing that out there.

I really liked just about every character in the Mass Effect series so far, with the exceptions of Miranda and Jack. Miranda was annoyingly superior, or so she thought, and while her body made a nice decoration for the Normandy, her face spoiled it. Those cheekbones... As for Jack, not only did she not look very nice, if I was Commander Shepard, I wouldn't recruit someone who I knew was completely insane, had a very, very short temper, had far too much biotic power and was likely to lose her rag over something meaningless and start blowing holes in my ship.
Other than these two, everyone else was excellent. Mordin and Jacob were entertaining, Thane and Garrus were badasses, Tali was bright and energetic, and Liara was quiet, nerdy and interesting to talk to. Even Wrex and Grunt were the kind of lads you wouldn't mind having at your back going into a firefight, once you could keep them under control.

And yet, Tali herself was willing to try and make amends with Legion after their argument over Legion transmitting her data to the Geth.evilthecat said:
I agree, they really dropped the ball one miranda. Though Ashley Williams honestly looks really human to me. Not a super model but she wasn't intended to be.
There's something about Miranda's face that is really... strange. I don't know what it is, but it kind of turns me off a bit. She's very pretty, but it's hard to explain.
That said, I always hoped Shepard would hook up with Tali, but since I play FemShep, that was not to be the case.
And my second choice, Garrus... well, let's just say he's got some calibrations he needs to be doing.

Yay character development!Random berk said:
Still, I don't think they spent enough time on that one myself. Given how violently they'd had her react in the first game to any suggestion that her species might have been in the wrong it was a sudden U turn which I didn't see as making a whole lot of sense, but I was willing to go with it.
I still don't like her as a character, and the way things are set up I sincerely doubt that spirit of reconciliation was intended to be lasting and genuine. No doubt by the next game she'll be dead set on continuing her father's work and effectively completing a 300 year old genocide attempt so that we can have a convincing moral choice about whether to side with one or the other or convince the two to work in harmony.
See, it's moments like this when I start to understand what people mean when they talk about bioware games becoming formulaic.
