What's with all these Sara's...
Here's my Scott.

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 ๐ฅณ
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 ๐

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 ๐
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.

LOL looks a little like Agent Mulder from the X Files...

"Fox Ryder, Initiative Bureau of Investigation"
Yeah, I could totally imagine that ^^

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).
Here is three of them
And #4
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 ๐. 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.. ๐
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.
My Ryder on the first completed playthrough.

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.

That is one handsome Scott Ryder there! :-)

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 ๐คจ
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 ๐), helping them through a world of peril ๐
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 ๐

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.
As Shepard I actually managed to create a face that looked a little like me so I played almost exclusively with him hehe ๐
Off topic but my ME3 Shepard ๐
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.
should we start a hottest ryder poll or something?

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 ๐ค
Mine...

My vote goes to........
Jayde Rossi's Ryder... The way it should have been... ๐ฌ

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" ๐
The male version is called "Steve" hehe ๐

Oh Jayde Rossi is the face model for Sara Ryder lol... Go google her... She's hot...
Jayde Rossi looks hot indeed.
If you ask me, Sara lost out big time.

no arguments there.
Community AdminI used the default Sara and my male Ryder certainly wasn't a looker, but here's my wife's character.

Flipping hell! you weren't kidding, she's gorgeous, too bad they didn't make the character resemble her in any way whatsoever ๐
She looks great in motion. I play on lowest settings so screenshots aren't that great, but it looks nice ingame where you have that grounding to base it on and compare. Then there's the weirdness where sometimes they seem to age 50 years or seem to be smushed. Dunno why Bioware games in particular have that problem with consistency. I haven't noticed it in most other games.
