Not before or after.

Mass Effect AND Dark Sector is on top of my list on #1.

For a sci-fi RPG, Mass Effect, for a Resident Evil-ish game Dark Sector.

I really wish Shephard looked cooler. I'm considering going with a female character. The female shephard looks better.

It would be cool if they showed us one of the guy shephard's more fancy attire.

They have yet to show any female version of Shepard. Also, how your character looks is fully customizable. -_-'

I think they've shown female shephard already, but we didn't know it was her :P

hahah phaethon it'll take a lot more than that :D I'll play the game then decide :)

I think the girl here is the female shephard.

Op, she could be considered as a female Shepard yes, but it is up to you in the end of how you want to make her.

She could also just be another NPC for all we know. We've seen a similar female character in previous screen shots along side the generic Shepard design.

It is possible. However it is far more likely that this is just the 'Ashley' character in a different colored uniform/armor. Doesn't really matter though. Both my male and female characters will likely look different from anything Bioware will do.

True that. But you've gotta remember, Optimus has been playing JRPGs for so long, he doesn't understand what customization is...

OMG I beat DC to it; I am the ultimate Mass Effect fan on Xboxyde!!!

http://uk.xbox360.gamespy.com/xbox-360/mass-effect...

GameSpy: From the first images we saw of Saren, it appears he wears a suit of armor very similar to that we have seen on screenshots featuring Shepard. We presume this is a Spectre uniform, but we'd also like to be reassured that there will be armor customization that will affect appearance. Can you elaborate on weapon and armor customization and their effect on character models?

Drew Karpyshyn: The armor in Mass Effect comes in light, medium and heavy variants, and encompasses a large variety of visual styles and effects, damage mitigation, environmental protection and other variables directly impacting the player's effectiveness and survivability. Armor can also be customized further via modifications found during the course of the game. The exact same thing can be said for the weapons used in "Mass Effect." Different weapon makes and various upgrade modifications will affect the look of weapons as well as the visual effect of using them.

Turians hail from the planet Palaven. Palaven is largely Earth-like in nature, being what is known as a Garden Planet. Lush greenery and oceans are the primary geographic features to be found there, and the planet is ideal for supporting life.

I think they are talking about this planet

I think the armor color and the N7 on the right side of the chest in both that girl and shephard's usual pictures might be the dead giveaway that what we saw there was a female shephard. It might not be, but it seems they wanted to sneak it in there.

The suit is exactly the same except its on a girl.

Optimus, its not that we don't believe its Shephard. Its that it doesn't amount to a hill of beans...It's only going to matter to those who don't feel like making Shephard look different at all.

It could be--it could also just be the armor that she's wearing. Keep in mind that you can equip that sort of thing across all of your characters, depending on its requirement. It's a little hard to tell without more information..but it could be.

It doesn't really matter though--it still does not show off customization at all--we can't even see her face :P

Also, there's another female character who is ALWAYS wearing her helmet in all of the screen shots, with simular armor..for all we know it could just be her with the N7 armor equipped. The suite may be exactly the same--but Shepard does not need to wear that armor--clothing is not part of a characters design in this game, it's something they wear.

Could be though..

I wonder how being female will alter the story. In KOTOR playing a female character actually takes away from the narrative a bit, because it has an impact on your relationships with other characters..seemed sorta obvious to me that the male story is the one they wanted to tell.

Optimus, its not that we don't believe its Shephard. Its that it doesn't amount to a hill of beans...It's only going to matter to those who don't feel like making Shephard look different at all.

Ew, why would anyone not want to make their own character.

I am getting somewhat tired of everyone wants to see the female Shepard. For all we know, Ashlley could be looking like a female Shepard. Besides BioWare is keep showing us except in couple of screens Ashley having a helmet.
That female character could be your character you "can" create, because you can't see her face through the helmet.

Anyway, the screens of Saren and the Geth is just breath taking. That is like the closest thing you could get to Gears of Wars visuals in some scenes. When I saw it, my jaw just dropped and I looked at it in a few minutes.

PS. The eyes of Saren is really creeping me out. Light blue alien eyes, grrrr *shivers*

This is most definitely gonna show off 360s visual potential along with Gears. Mass Effect IS gonna be THE most greatest game out. And knowing this is a exclusive to the 360 and Microsoft is the publisher, I am just gad I purchased the 360 in the first place because Mass Effect was my ONLY reason to buy a Xbox 360, and other games are just bonus such as Fable 2, Too Human, Dark Sector...etc.

ok its decided, I'm playing Mass Effect naked, with a yellow raincoat on

Yup, and the 2 girls that live next door to us, could walk in butt ass naked, and stand in front of the TV, while I'm playing, and the first words out my mouth, would be "B****! Move your ass from in front of the TV, I'm playing Mass Effect! And put some damn clothes on! I'm the only naked one around here!"

Yup, can't wait :P

You wouldn't get a block... I'd have a spike strip setup and when you drove over it I'd beat you unconscious with a bat then make off with both girls. Then when I'm done just for laughs I'd go back to kenshin's house and hit him with a water balloon.
