PLEASE NO SPOILERS

I am starting up Mass Effect, and call me anal, but son of a gun I have made three people and I hate the way each of them look lol. I made a female that was pretty good looking, but the voice they picked for female is just awful :P. Is their any mods or suggestions you guys have? I just don't want to look at some ugly/annoying character in every scene. AGAIN PLEASE NO SPOILERS.

I've played the game like 4 or 5 times using the default dude each go. I recommend you do the same.

Haha I probably should. I never even thought about it having the option for a face customization system, but when I found out there was one, I felt lame being the normal guy :P. I think I will just be him anyway haha.

I don't know if the female voice in ME1 is the same as ME2, but in ME2 the female voice actor was far superior to the male.

The female voice is a tomboy (and tries way too hard), the male voice is sort of a Clint Eastwood type (you know, the professional, cold, no bull**** guy).

When I hear the female, I hear someone ACTING HERE, DAMMIT. When I hear the male, I hear a professional doing his job.

Play with the default male, no matter how hard you'll try you won't make a better looking one.

Also it's really weird to play with a different character than the canon one IMO.

The delivery of some of MaleShep's lines is so unintentionally hilarious... I swear, I love the games even more for this. :P

Imho, Mass Effect series has one of the worst character face model for customization. :P They all look hideous so I just stick with default Shepard.

What I find really sad, is that my favorite characters I have created come from Tony Hawks Underground :P.

I won a Digital Deluxe Edition of DAO in a character creator contest. I managed to make a Michael Jackson.

Dunno if that speaks about the quality or the *lack* of quality of the character creator though.

Mass Effect has some god awful facial customization. But in ME2 there are codes which will track your Shepard's appearance. Which as a result there's a website that users from the community share their Shepard's appearance codes. Both male and female. I recommend it, some people have created beautiful faces which will save you hours of frustration trying to make the perfect Shepard.

Exactly! Jennifer Hale owns any VG voiceover. She was excellent in KOTOR as Bastilla!

I know I wouldn't kick my femshep out of my bed if she accidentally found her way there :P

I will admit though that the face editor that comes with Mass Effect is pretty useless. Although I am surprised the OP doesn't like Jennifer Hale's voice. I personally prefer Hale to Meer but then I guess we all have different tastes.

but the voice they picked for female is just awful :PNaveedLife
oh wow. First time I have ever heard Jennifer Hale's voice is awful. Only time Mark Meer (dude shep) does better job than Jennifer Hale (fem shep) is when he says "Because it's a stupid Jellyfish". She also did voice for tons of characters like Bastila in KOTOR, Dr. Naomi Hunter in MGS, Samus in Metroid Prime, etc.  This is mine (in ME2, but same face imported from my ME1 file). In close up, she looks kinda like Avril Lavigne, but a little more..... evil. and serious.

The default male is the highest quality model. If you can't decide, just stick with the default.

The thing I hate about the Male shepard's face is that all of the eyes look somewhat asian. I dont know if I could do it in ME1 but in ME2 I made my shepard look like me :).

Oblivion has the WORST face customization in any game x.x And my male Shep doesn't look too horrible, imo slightly better than the stock Shep.

Oblivion is definitely one of the worst, if not THE worst. :P

This. Jennifer Hale is a legend for Bioware game voices.

Both ME1 and ME2 have the same voice actors for Shepard (male or female).

That character creator became way better with a couple of mods installed... ;)

Mine certainly aren't. Not if you like tall redheads with goth makeup anyway :P
