The many faces of Commander Shepard
Written February 6, 2010
I thought I was being original - foiled again!
So in my review of Mass Effect 2 I mentioned I thought I’d managed to make my male Shepard look like Bruce Willis.
What I didn’t know about when I wrote that was the existence of Mass Effect 2 Faces, a site where anyone and everyone can post their very own reconstructed Shepard face. All you have to do is create a character, take a screenshot of their face (or an awful digital photo of your television screen if you’re playing it on 360) and upload it. Each new Shepard is also accompanied by it’s unique facial code, meaning if you see anything you like you can immediately create it on your own copy.
And it seems I unwittingly joined a trend with my Bruce Willis Shepard – clicking the “celebrities” filter will bring up all sorts of amusement. A few personal favourites of mine so far include Bruce Campbell Shepard, Abe Lincoln Shepard and, of course, Michael Jackson Shepard. Still no Ron Jeremy Shepard though, which I find disappointing. I might feel some time in the character creation suite coming on…
Take a look at the site to post your own mugshot, rate those that have already been uploaded or just have some laughs.
