I’m out of ideas, so I’m going to show you how I like to cool down and chilax after studying all day.

There’s nothing more fun than creating new characters with the Mass Effect character creator, just for the sake of it, without playing with the characters. I think I’m getting pretty good at making the characters very different looking. It’s not the easiest thing in the world – many players complain how hard it is to make a unique-looking female Shepard.

So here you go. Most of them are real beauties, aren’t they?

Actually I think the problem that most people have is that they want to make all their female characters beautiful. If that’s what you want, of course they will always look more or less the same.

In the beginning, I wanted my characters to be pretty too. But then I discovered that it’s more interesting to make something else than models. What are the chances that your heroic character, the saviour of the galaxy, happens also to be a striking beauty?

Generic beauty isn’t that interesting in real life, and the same applies to the game world. Little “flaws” make the characters more personable and unique.
