Just how intimidating can a rather squat looking woman be?
Yes, and I find that women are not really intimidating in the sense that you feel like your life is in danger from them and not every dialogue scene involves Shepard using his firearm against an unarmed person.
I do however find women have the ability to be persuasive when they can effectively use their charm. It's not like it's some sexist idea I made up or anything, even Dragon Age mentioned this when Lelianna and Morrigan both claimed to have used their feminine charms to lure men into traps.
The beauty of the Mass Effect games is that they let you play Shepard how you see fit, so what is wrong with wanting to play as a femme fatale Shepard who will use her seductive charm as a weapon?
We're not ragging on you for suggesting that women can use sexuality as a method of getting what they want. We're ragging on you for insinuating that women, even women who are obviously armed to the teeth and famous throughout the galaxy as one of the most badass people organic life has to offer, can't be intimidating. Which is sexist, because they definitely can.
Problem with this is that many of the people whom she intimidates are also armed as well which negates that factor and brings gender back into the equation.
Just think if you were being interrogated, who would scare you more? A male Shepard or a female Shepard?
I'm not saying that a female Shepard should not be intimidating at all, but I think making her renegade moments identical to male Shepard's is just a bit far fetched.
Take for instance Zaeed's loyalty mission. Do you really think female Shepard's punch would've hurt just as much as a male Shepard's?
I think a "seduce" option would've worked better where Shepard can instead flirtatiously insinuate that Zaeed's anger towards Santiago is because of Santiago's superior endowment making him insanely jealous. Zaeed can then become insecure and then drop the idea of pursuing Santiago in fear of confirming Shepard's suspicions.
