That's the haircut fault! 😃
In fact, in all the game (Mass Effect trilogy, Fallout, Skyrim, etc...), i've made a Redhead character with green eyes.
I do the same thing when i've begin ME Andromeda...
And when i've been on Tempest deck for the first time, i've seen Suvi, i've telling me "sh*t, they are too similar" (i didn't watching any pictures and/or trailer before playing MEA)
But, my Sara is better than Suvi and i've décided to keep my character after all! (and after two playthroughs, i didn't want to change because that's my Sara now! ^^)
LOL, if you romanced Suvi, think it will be fun to watch lol....
You joking but i was think of that... 😃
But the romance for my character is Peebee finally! ^^

Well, "Girl Power" maybe? 😃

Over the course of the trilogy I never strayed too far from the default face. Just made some minor tweaks (ie a change in hairstyle).
Since we can't use the default face as a baseline here, I decided to get it as close as I can and then go from there X)
(Yeah I know, she is obsessed over all the Rem-tech ^^)

That's because even though you might be able to make a cool looking male face in the generator, the male facial animations for the custom faces are horrible in the actual game, most of the time they look like they are about to cry when they try to make even the hint of a facial expression 🥳
So far I have retired 3 custom male characters because I couldn't stand to look at them, now I only use default male Ryder 😃

Huh. Weird. I actually did a playthrough as a male (heck, even sorta made him look like myself).

You are actually proving my point with that picture, looks like he is scared or something, though it's not one of the worst I've seen so far 😃
They all have these hyper-animated facial expressions and it looks ridicules, tbh I think they could fix it by simply toning down the range to something like 75% of the current.

I must be used to the *really* hyper-animated faced of Fallout 4, because while they have expression they aren't as cartoony as that. And I don't see any fear (if anything, I see tiredness).

Those female Ryders in here...looking pretty good. Almost all of them.. too bad i cant stand playing a female. Im not sexist just for some reason doesnt fit me. I had 2 playthroughs in ME1 with male and none with female. About 7-8 in ME2 with the male Shep but only a half with the female as i lost interest somewhere after the collector ship mission. ME3 had 6 playthroughs (plus 3 NG+) with male but only one with female (plus NG+).
I just cant romance male characters 😃. Yeah i know i can be single but who wants to be single if you can basically romance almost any crew member.
Guess if i start a female one, i will go for Suvi, she looks good , has personality and her accent got me anyway. Maybe Gil, he's funny.. or Liam... NAH.. 😃
I talk too much... here's my Scott. There was another preset which i liked but it had some texture/shadow issue at the eyes so i dumped that one.

Being a straight guy i always played as a male in rpg's for immersion reasons.
ME:A forced me to make a female because i don't like any of the male preset and in my opinion, they may look decent when they are not talking but during animations they look worse than female Ryders.
As for the romances the workaround is simple, i romanced Peebee ... Suvi is nice too. You don't need to romance a guy.

A straight guy myself, but I can't really do RPG immersion in games like this where the character makes dumber choices than I would, all those obvious traps Ryder walks into and the forced choices annoys the * out of me 🤨
Personally I almost always play female characters when the male character doesn't have the hero's appearance or you are forced to make illogical choices, I simply can't relate to them and at least with a cute, sexy or beautiful female character I have something nice to look at while I play :eahigh_file:
For the most part I always end up playing these games more as a guiding force of the character (you may refer to me as God 😃), helping them through a world of peril 😉
Oh and btw, there is a mod out now that will let you romance any romanceable NPC in the game, no matter your or their gender, so my Sara is currently romancing the * out of both Suvi and Cora hehe 🙂

You have a solid point here. When i play a female character i also play like a somewhat "guiding force".
In the original trilogy though, i played as default male Shepard because he looks, talks and acts badass. - 9 years ago

Off topic but my ME3 Shepard 😉

when i play a game i usually roleplay it, even if it has nothing to do with rpg elements. now, usually the character's gender doesn't concern me... and sometimes it helps me get more into a character when i can't directly relate too them... such as a female character. and besides, i've found a bada** character becomes even more bada** when it's a woman, and they also look better in armor then us guys do.

Not a bad idea, but the competition would be strong among the female Ryders. Too many good looking ones are there, i couldnt decide who to give the credit 🤔

Wait, the one who designed the first Ryder was named Jayde?
The name of the nude texture in the game is "hmf_arm_nkda_jayde_diff" 😃
The male version is called "Steve" hehe 😃
