Maybe all that house arrest made her severely bloated LMAO
Femshep and Maleshep both had the same animations in ME1 and ME2 (with one or two exceptions). In ME3 they gave her more “feminine” animations because they obviously wanted her to be more attractive to the straight dudes (hence why they had a public poll and voted on a makeover for her for… reasons).
Seriously, I’m still not over the way that she jogs in ME3. She looks like she’s skipping. LET HER JOG LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING AGAIN.
Also, the way that she runs???? She looks like she has severe back problems. Her movements looked so natural in the first two games, yet somehow the animators took a look at her ME3 animations and went yep! Looks good!
Femshep not looking like herself in ME3 no matter how hard I tried to get her to her ME1/ME2 appearance really ruined the immersion for me. I didn’t feel like I was playing Shepard. Some people seem to be able to get their Femsheps to look somewhat consistent but that wasn’t the case for me and I hate that hideous default look. Femshep sweetie I’m so sorry that they did that to you.
This is part of what I mean when I say that ME3 is bad on MANY levels - it’s not just the writing. It’s almost like a completely different studio made ME3.
omg im glad im not the only one bothered by her jogging animation… I distinctly remember when i was playing me3 for the first time, got to the first Citatel section of the game, and the moment when i saw that animation i was just like: what am i seeing right now? who approved it??
honestly though, what gets me the most about 3 is just how visually ugly it looks. Especially the beginning on Earth. I dont think ive ever seen anyone on here talking about it, but man this game most of the time just looks like shit. The pitch-black shadows on characters during the normal daylight scenes (watch the prologue cutscene, it looks like everyone is standing next to a floodlight), color filters (Tuchanka looks SO bad, and not in a “well its a radioactive junk yard of course it looks bad” way, but in a “this is a poorly constucted image with no values” kind of way), faces generally looking much worse (what have they done to Joker and Ashley? dont even get me started on femshep!!! this alone desrves its own post bitch!), terrible animations (that disappearing rock in Talis hand in cutscene before Rannoch gets me everytime). Priority London is literally one of the worst looking (and playing) final levels ive seen in a AAA game
To be fair, me3 is not ugly ALL the time - there are some nice looking levels and designs in this game (especially the dlc ones), and im not saying 1 and 2 were perfect and didnt have some bad looking parts. Its just so disappointing that this game fails in places you`d think they already figured out long time ago. Its always so jarring to go from colorful and vibrant Mass Effect 2 to boring, gray and monotone 3
