All i've seen so far are HORRIBLE creatures, they look completly stupid and takes away any badassery shepard might have...but I have seen great custom fems...so is this just with males or something?

I saw a website somewhere where you could download celebrities heads/faces to use. Some of them looked alright. I'll post a link if i stumble across it again. Theres probbably a load of sites where you can get shephard faces.

I think my custom Shepard looked good. My gf even went as far as to say it looked "hot" >_>

I agree with gamerguy - every time I run a male Shepard, I use the original BioWare designed Shep.

default Shepard is the only good looking Shepard. Everything else is ugly and needs to burn.

Well, you can't make a good face if you have crappy tools. That's honestly what I think about the character creation in Mass Effect.

Sounds like you can't work with the tools you have. I was able to create a custom male Shepard just fine. And he became even better with the higher poly count in Mass Effect 2.

It doesn't matter how much time you spend creating your Shepard. Default Shepard is the only one that will actually look good and Unique. Its the same in Dragon Age 2 as well. The voice and facial expressions never match up quite as well unless you use default.

with_teeth26

in all fairness he looks like jean reno except with a shaved head. which hes done b4 btw. if your curious about this guy hes basically the only real actor to ever make it into a video game and ya know be "good" and get represented properly. namely he was jaque blanc in "onimusha 3: demon seige) which was available for ps2 & pc

I like the face on mine (from the brow to the chin), but I will concede his hair is ****. If I could go back and change it, I would. It makes his forehead seem really high and weird.

Well, this topic has inspired me to make a custom character for once.

[spoiler] [/spoiler]

That is what I came up with. It's rather hard to make a decent looking character, for some reason.

Agreed with the Mass Effect part; don't quite agree in Dragon Age 2's case. The default models might be the most in sync with Hawke's facial expressions, but that doesn't mean you can't make some decent characters at all.

I always make a female...her ass is too well toned to not watch for hours on end :P I usually got for a black-asian blend of features.

I did make a couple male shepard, the only one I really played with for long was in ME2 and he was "evil" aligned. He did looked pretty badass; sort of tan, with a good scruffy face, with dare I say nordic features. When the red cracks in the skin started shining through, he looked pretty epic.

My Shepard is half black, half white, half ladies man and has blue eyes... Women literally take their clothing off when he walks in the room.

ok...for all those who posted a custom shepard: im sorry, but I was not impressed by any, I still think they look ugly, the hair that bioware does looks really bad so it doesnt fit with any face, and the voice of shepard doesnt fit with any of the faces you posted. for example that guy "adrian shepard" looked like a russian soldier to me (really) and I just cant imagine a russian with shepard's voice.

I think the default shep looks ugly to be honest and I've created sheps much closer to my liking.It's just a matter of taste. Btw, Dante Shepard looks awesome!

My male shep was based loosely on myself and looked pretty decent from the front, but was completely messed up in side views and I didn't even realize it before it was too late. Needless to say I wasn't too happy about it.

It's funny that people prefer to play the female Sheperd because they'll eventually make out with a couple of dudes and a lizardman.

Garrus is 10 times better than Thane, Miranda and Jacob put together. I found it funny that the best romances in ME2 were with ME1 characters (Garrus and Tali).

Wow...this is the best female Shepard I've ever seen. Even better than the one's Bioware is thinking of putting on the cover of ME3.
