Only Commander Shepard can look at what comes out of the Ark of the Covenant without melting. Just gets a bit shiny and annoyed.

It makes me very happy to see such an active thread, dedicated to praising and sharing the love of FemShep and the actress who brings her to life. Some of the concerns brought up in the original post, such as the wish for female-specific animations for FemShep, I cannot agree with, however. In my mind, and in my game, my Shepard is anything but a lady; she is a hardened soldier first and foremost, and would therefore give little thought to whether or not her legs are neatly closed together when she's sitting there in the shuttle, waiting to kick some ass. She goes for comfort and practicality, not worrying about what 'looks proper for a lady.' Basically, I think it definitely suits her character (as I play it, at least) to have these animations. It feels very gender neutral, and I love that.

At least now I'm not alone in saying this.

Well, we stress in the OP that FemShep's animations need to be fixed because glitches have occured in the past that have been extrememly immersion breaking.  See this thread for proof.  It's true that Bioware puts more time and effort into the male version of this game and so they skimp out and cut corners with FemShep.  I also know that many people can't stand seeing FemShep sitting with her legs wide open in the little black dress.    I am aware that more males play this game but for them to give players the ability to play as a woman as the lead character, you would think that lead character would have more time spent on them. 

Anyway, I hope that we can generate more awareness that FemShep deserves better treatment in future dlc and ME3.  I also hope that the talented voice actress who voices our hero wins the VGA Voice Actress of the year award:

I agree that they need to treat FemShep better. 

However, while some people can't stand how she sits in the LBD, I can't stand the LBD and having her force into for half a mission.

Welcome to the thread, Kindo!

I agree with you. In my mind, the character of Commander Shepard is a woman, and it actually feels strange to think that her role in the story can be occupied by a man. As far as I am concerned, Mass Effect's protagonist is female!

During my current ME1 playthrough, which happens to be my first ever as a Sole Survivor, I'm really looking forward to the Dead Scientist assignment. Corporal Toombs' dialogue and interactions with Shepard are heartbreaking and chilling enough, but when combined with a FemShep who served on Akuze, I think it's going to be absolutely incredible. I can't wait to experience it for the first time ever.

That scene is a bit more emotional w/ a SS especially considering the outcome, but prepare yourself for a big disapointment come ME2.

Yeah, I've heard about how Sole Survivors are screwed over in ME2, and how Akuze is completely ignored during conversations with TIM and Miranda. I'm prepared for the disappointment.

Its only after the first couple of plays where you pick up on how weak the story actually is.  They made leaps and bounds gameplay wise but  Shepard's story failed so badly its a crying shame.   Considering how story driven ME was I just cant understand how they let slip that core value so easily.

What's even less understandable is that default Sheploo is a Sole Survivor.

I do love the old N7 armour, Jane. She looks great whilst wearing it!

Yeah! It's my most favorite armor in Mass Effect 1

My Jane is default FemShep.
There is so little known about Shepard's past... Oh, I wish there could be a DLC about her backround story (Sole Survivor, Ruthless, War Hero)... It's just my thoughts.

I think it must have gone down like this:  You're studying for a final exam.  You say "Oh, I don't need to study ____ because I totally aced it on the first exam."  You focus on your weak points and then when exam day comes, you realize you really should've looked over that section again.  (Yeah, finals week is here so all my metaphors are school-related.)

Basically, I think they focused so hard on addressing gameplay that they got complacent with the story.  Hopefully they'll realize this, though, and ME3 will be the best game to ever exist.  Smooth, tight gameplay like ME2 and a strong storyline like ME1.

Have a FemShep and welcome Kindo, to the thread. <3[/quote]
Haha! Thank you, and everyone else, for the warm welcome. As for fixing glitches in animations, that's one thing. I haven't paid much attention to them, and I doubt I would've managed to spot them all without people pointing it out (although some are more obvious than others, and considered unmissable). It's shameful that they don't go through the animations and fix them for those of us who play the female character. I do worry, however, that they'll also make her more 'feminine' in other circumstances, so that's what I was voicing my concern about. Her unladylike demeanor suits her perfectly; but I do agree that the dress we received in the Kasumi DLC is a bit borderline. Even so, I readily accept it as part of her character - she basically has no idea how to behave when she's not behaving like a soldier, and it wouldn't surprise me if this was the very first time she ever wore a dress to begin with! Even so, I definitely back your plea, seeing how there's laziness or general neglect on Bioware's end that's behind these concerns. We'll see what happens in ME3 - one would think that all this attention that's been given to FemShep by we, the fans, would have opened their eyes already. I'm happy as long as she starts appearing in the marketing, and if Jennifer Hale gets the recognition she deserves (is it true that she's not even part of behind the scenes material, while Mark Meer is?). Having her default apperance modelled after a real person would be nice, too, but it might be too late for that, with only one part of the trilogy remaining. Like I wrote earlier, they seem to be doing the same thing with Hawke for Dragon Age 2. A sad state of affairs.

As for the voting on for Spike Video Game Awards, I don't seem to have access (the link takes me to an empty page). Is it a regional thing, or are we Europeans also supposed to be able to vote for this?

I've been toying with the idea of writing a personal story about Shepard and her past, myself, rather than wait for Bioware to do it for me. There's a risk their vision of her background differs from my own. It would be more of a documentary of her internal struggle, and what's going on through her head, rather than direct dialogue and conversations with others.

For the record, FemShep is ALL OVER the Prima Strategy Guide.



Also, I want to point out that saying stuff like "FemShep is the REAL Shepard!" won't win you any prizes. People will think FemShep supporters are nothing but elitists who spit on anyone who plays a MaleShep.

LotSB spoiler ...






















While I like that Akuze gets mentioned in LotSB it only underscores its absence in the main game.

I found that quite a nice touch by Prima. In Mass Effect, is was Manshep, thus they opted to put in Femshep for Mass Effect 2. I imagine Manshep will have a triumpht return for Mass Effect 3. Nonetheless, the tip of the hat to fans was appreciated.

@Jamie.



I hated how my Sole Survivors never got to say anything about Akuze. Honestly Bioware should have made TIM and Miranda defend it, not just ignore it happened.

Agreed.
And not only that, what about all the experiments you find out about if you do the Cerberus quests in ME1? I mean, not even a mention of that to either TIM or Miranda and I think after one of the quests have finished Shep says something like "Cerberus have a lot of explaining to do." And then all of a sudden in ME2 she almost defends them.

Which is why I HATE the ME2 story.

Also why I blow up the base and giggle at TIM when he QQs at me.
Sorry but it will be a blustery day in Hades when I side with the Team Rocket of Mass Effect.

Yeah, TIM's going to wish he listened to Miranda about that whole control chip idea...

Thank you. You have very interesting images. I also tried to imagine the adventures Shepard - female character. I used for this target different images of the hero.

Male and female persons. What is the difference in the plot? In a small musical slide -film I tried to find answer on this question. When I worked with this film, I found many useful and interesting fan - art's works on this theme. For example, I “understood” at least - how to look like an Alien Women – turian…
