More Mass Effect art plus a little meta
Oct. 2nd, 2010 08:39 pmNo spoilers and I think they both turned out quite pretty.
ME2: A sea of stars by ~sqbr on deviantART
Mass Effect: Commander Shepard by ~sqbr on deviantART
I can't believe how quickly ME2 got me to go from "Wait, is that a lizard guy as a romance option in that vid? Ew" to finding that he is in fact a remarkably charming lizard guy. Even Cam's character fell for him :D I do feel a bit sorry for the human male love interest Jacob, who seems to be almost universally disdained (on the one hand, I think there are some legit issues with the way he was written, on the other hand he's hardly the first black canon love interest to be ignored for less likely men)
My new ME1 character is a lot of fun to play. I take back what I said about there only being two options (good=paragon and bad=renegade), while my first character did fit neatly into the pro-establishment/rule following/compassionate/polite/hardworking/pro-alien paragon mould, this new renegade-ish character only fits the renegade alternatives some of the time eg he's not a bigoted sociopath, just really cynical and blunt and a little bit of a jerk.
