“The difference between style and fashion,” Meek said. In deciding which hairstyles to incorporate into a modernized game set in the future, the developers aimed for more “timeless” options. “You can’t put a really tight, really clean buzzed cut with shiny, shiny hair,” Meek said by way of example. There was long flowing hair options, you can color it black, but those didn’t really work.” The team began by making a list of hairstyles it was missing, then working out textures. “There was very little there that supported that at all. “There are certain hairstyles that just don’t work, especially for the female Shepards,” Meek said. In returning to the series, BioWare had an opportunity to fix its shortcomings in the game’s original design. Although the game won’t add new story content, it does overhaul its graphics and expand some gameplay elements to make them more modern. Legendary Edition packages all three games with all of their corresponding DLC. “If you have type 4 hair or a really dark skin tone or if that’s the Shepard you wanted to play as, you just did not really have that option in the original Mass Effect,” Meek said. Environment and character director Kevin Meek told The Verge that improving options for people of color was one of its top priorities when it came to Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, an upcoming remastered collection. The blond with the long messy hair won the voting in a landslide.Although the Mass Effect trilogy allowed players to create their own Shepard, the game had limited options for making non-white characters. To do so, they recently let gamers select between six FemShep variations featuring different facial structure, hair style and skin color. Not only that, players get to thoroughly adjust the character's look as well – selecting hair color, skin color, nose shape, eye shape, etc.ĭespite not having any official presence in the game's marketing materials, FemShep has earned quite a following and BioWare has decided to give her more play as they gear up to launch "Mass Effect 3." They have plans to put FemShep on the forthcoming game's box art (a first) and plan to release a trailer featuring her (also a first).īut first, they need to settle on her official look. You can play as the famed ManShep or you can play as FemShep. But while almost all of the official marketing materials for the game (box art, screenshots, etc.) show Shepard as a man, players actually get to choose which gender Shepard is at the start of the game. If you haven't played the epic space-faring "Mass Effect" games, the deal is this: You play Commander Shepard – a badass hero out to save the galaxy from all manner of alien and non-alien threats.
