Mass Effect: Shepard Designs


Part three of Team Xbox’s Mass Effect diaries focuses on the many, many, many ways you can generate Commander Shepard.

Like many games that have a character creation tool, you’ll be able to start from scratch or use one of a number of templates. There are dozens (if not hundreds) of options, from the ability to change their skin color to their hair styles to, naturally, the gender. Most of the stuff is pretty standard for the genre, although I was personally a big fan of the different scars that you can apply. Seriously, is there anything more intimidating than a dude with a Lemmy-style handlebar moustache and a scar running down the side of his face?

Honestly, I could spend all day screwing around with the character creation tool, and it looks like that’s exactly what the guys at BioWare did this morning. Take a look at some of their examples, then start thinking about the hero of your dreams!

I wonder how much time I’ll spend on just making Shepard’s face.
