never played it
but from the marketing it seems like shepard is a white dude
in fact, I never would have known you could change his race if it wasn't for this thread.
A lot of those space operas are that

People are clowning OP like the official Commander Shepherd design isn't a white buzz cut Caucasian. BioWare gave you the allusion of choice :mjlol:

There is no "official" Commander Shepard. There is the base character which isn't even set as male or female. Bioware did a gang of promo for 3, with the female version of the character.

So....yeah.

Side note. Am I the only person who tries to create their real life face in the game and it ends up horribly wrong? :russ:

Face scanning tech should be something that's in next gen games. Why does 2K seem to get it right but no one else can or wants to implement the tech especially if we can create our own character?

Dudes in this thread actually closing their eyes and imagining their Sheperd sounds like Denzel or Will Smith:dead:

The base [translation, default] character model across all 3 is buzz cut Shepard. The 3rd's promo was instated as BioWare wanted to return to their roots. As Shepard was conceptualized as female but it switched. Come 3 they wanted to provide the choice for either in their respective promos. At its core BioWare's vision was a cac. Same can be said for Skyrim. There's 9 races but the promotional material isn't Brentos, Khajit or Orces, its a blonde Nord.

And? They used a white model for the default, non-customized face. If OP envisioned his dude as white arrogance, that's cause he's on some :mjpls: and didn't make BroShep a breh.

I've never gotten 2k face scan to work. I must look like an alien :mjcry:
