Character creation

[frostdiamond]

Hi guys, I've purchased ME 1-3 on Origin and will start to play ME1 soon. I'm wondering if it's possible to create characters to this effect in any of the ME games:

As in long hair blonde with pony tail, boobs and long legs?

Mass Effect's character creation is primarily limited to the face and hair. Good for facial features, but if you were expecting Saints Row levels of customization, you'll be disappointed.

My friend, you are truly everywhere. At least on all RPG games' forum anyway ; )

I haven't played Saints Row titles before and don't intend to (too comical / exaggerated for me). But really, the model I quoted in my original post above isn't THAT outrageous, is it?

It was a legit question - I'm wondering if ME allows character customization to this extent.

By the way I'm at Hour 55 and somewhat into Plains of Erathell now.

what can I say, you're playing all my favorite games right now lol

The model in your post isn't outrageous, but it's a modded file. They're using a custom head on Miranda Lawson's body (she's an important character / squadmate in Mass Effect 2). There are some mods for this, but not to this level of detail.
(Once you get to Mass Effect 2, might want you check out this mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect2/mods/60/?)

Absolutely was a legit question, no worries. Bottom line: you can customize some very attractive Shepard faces & hair (of either gender), but bodies and wardrobes are locked (unless you use mods). Mass Effect 1 has lots of different armors, but they cannot be customized, just equipped. In Mass Effect 2 and 3, there are several armors and off-duty outfit choices, but the only customizeable armor is the default N7 armor.

This being about the first Mass Effect, explore some console commands so you can access the hidden armor sets that aren't otherwise available in the game, like the Crisis, Hazard, and Janissary armors. Their stats are similar to other armors already in the game, but the look and colors schemes are different.

Different ambiance and some new creatures. Should be getting up to General Tilera soon, I think.

I bought ME 1-3 from Origin for something like $12, not bad eh?

Dalentarth was quite likable, except I don't care much for the Fae and Ysa ordeal. I'm quite fond of Plains of Erathell! Far more open, sheer amount of grass land epic cliffs (how our characters are able to leap off without dying is beyond me. I mean, I don't see no stacks of hay at the bottom, wink wink LOL)

Indeed. If you want to try some ME3 multiplayer at some point, shoot me a message on Origin.

Funny you should say that. I'm currently trying to get Assassin's Creed Rogue to 100% (good game btw).

I'll definitely hit you up when I reach ME3, though my friend, you know I'm a completionist, at this rate, it may be a while before I get there haha.

Speaking of AC, I've played AC, ACII, ACB, ACR all the way to say, 20% of ACIII, I couldn't finish ACIII as the story, setting and colour scheme bored me. Connor to me was, FLAT, at best, unlike Ezio.

Anyway, I look forward to pick up Black Flag this Christmas, hopefully it'll dip to $10 USD or less.

I heard Rogue is very similar to Black Flag.

I also heard Syndicate is a vast improvement to Unity, though that's not saying much considering Unity was a technical failure to say the least.

If I were you I wouldnt install any mods. Telling this because you may have performance/crash/lags issues. Sometimes mods can mess up with savegames and make the further gameplay not possible.
Even with 2007 year level of graphics it is still quite possible to create a beautiful female character you will enjoy for during the walkthrough.
