Red hair and green eyes? Snap! For maleShep I just used the boring vanilla potato head.
Anyway, I fighured out how to screen cap: -
It's hard for me to be objective about the design since after completing both games with her, this to me is just what Commander Shepard looks like. It actually looks weird to me when I watch clips and hear Hale's voice come out of a different face. Just a sign at how personalized these games really are I suppose.
If I recall though, when I first bought ME1 in the steam xmas sale I think I based her somewhat on my mental image of what Honor Harrington might look like (HH fans may disagree of course.) More handsome than pretty and with a mixed heritage, by modern standards and ridiculously high cheek bones.

Finding a flattering pose that shows off the face is a bit tricky as mostly she stares off into space a little crosseyed and lifeless. In ME I just so happened to have a save right around Saren's defeat, so it was easy to get those two "iconic" shots.
To get the same thing for ME2 would mean beating the boss again, and I don't have time, so here's a boring profile shot taken from a random save.
I have to say, I miss her old ME1 eyebrow scar.
Perhaps it's just because I'm not an old school D&D type RPG fan, but the lack of 50,000 almost identical pieces of equipment to choose from doesn't make for an interesting ROLE playing experience. Don't get me wrong, I loved the original Fallout games and had massive stashes of gear in every settlement, but for RPGs I much prefer a game that focuses more on the character that you create than what kind of stuff he or she has.
