Mass Effect 2 lets your hero be anybody

Remember when I said a Mass Effect movie that recreated the events of the games was a horrible idea? Here’s why:

The game lets you customize Shepard, the game’s protagonist, to an intense degree. You can be a man or woman, and pick your skin tone, ear size, eyebrow spacing and more. And folks get pretty serious about it.

Kotaku has a killer thread going, where they ask readers to “show us your Shepard.” You should really go check it out and marvel at the diversity players have created.

A few random selections:

340x-1340x-3340x-2340x-5340x-6340x
