You're not one of the few man. It seems like you are because the femshep fanboys are so ridiculously vocal over their preference of voice actor. Us malesheps don't go around parading why we think Meer is better, and trust me, there are A LOT more people who prefer maleshep to femshep.

QFT.
I take solace in knowing that all of us that post on these forums regularly, only represent about 1% of the folks that have played or play the game.

I can't believe that I haven't noticed this thread before...I play as ManShep and I fully support his awesomeness.



Also, this might be off-topic, but is it me or do FemShep players have a huge grudge against those of us who play as ManShep? I've seen a lot of hate and negativity being mortared in "our" direction...*shrug*

It's not just you. It seems that sheploo is your average "Gun toting soldier" with a droning voice, that apparently pales in comparison to jennifer hale's beautifully dynamic and dramatic voice acting (LOLOLOLROFLMAO).

I just like to laugh insultingly at these apparent maleshep trends, and ignore the very vocal, extreme minority.

Pay no attention to the hate.

I'll try to follow your advice, see my sig with the "esteemed" Turian Councilor. I guess I just didn't understand what all the fuss was about.

[Ulathar]

My Shepard and what he does is the only thing that matters. Others can play as and however they want and I do the same. :-)

I think some people misinterpret Meer's voice as being 'wooden' when it's actually more about him deliberately keeping his voice emotionless in an attempt to avoid ascribing emotions to lines that the player may not intend. Kind of like trying to make sure that a situation like femShep's discussions with Jacob don't happen (the sultry come-hither tone that is present even for non-romancing lines). I personally like his voice and how he uses it.

Mind you, he does occasionally get a bit overdramatic*, but that just makes me LOL. :innocent: I also happen to love some of his other work (see: Tug in Leliana's Song and the voice of the guy in the elevator that gets offed in Thane's recruitment mission, not to mention the BIOTIC GOD!).

* See: when he asks 'How are you doing, Kelly?' to Yeoman Chambers after the Suicide Mission.

I wasn't aware he did the guy that gets off'd during Thane's mission.  Tug was great!
I have to agree with you about the line he delivers after the suicide mission with Kelly....maybe he had had too much coffee that morning?

I like Meer.
I like Hale in other games. But in ME... No...

This. For example, she was just awesome in KotOR and Mercenaries with the British accent, but her FemShep voice just makes me cringe.

who play as ManShep? I've seen a lot of hate and negativity being mortared in "our" direction...*shrug*

Admittedly, some do.
I don't. It took me a while to become accustomed to playing as MaleShep, because my 'headcanon' Shep is female and I'm used to hearing Hale's voice rather than Meer's.

But you know what I discovered? I really enjoyed the experience. MaleShep is a blast  to play, and it's a damn shame that so many people who prefer FemShep feel like they have to heap criticism on Meer's performance. Sure, some of  his lines are a bit flat- I, however, prefer to think of it as 'deadpan snark'. Delishus.

My guess is that FemShep players are so defensive because there are stiull relatively few strong females in videogames, at least as protagonists. They feel like someone who should be considered as much 'the Commander' as MaleShep is being swept under the rug and/or treated like she's less valuable, because of her absence in screenshots/merchandise/videos/etc.
People who think they're being ignored do tend to get very... loud.

Which is understandable, to some degree- but then again, customSheps of both genders are being ignored in marketing. It's all Sheploo, who -like it or not- is the poster boy for Mass Effect.

Actually, it's not as much of a minority as you think. I don't kn ow where Bioware got their statistics from (maybe they meant 'plays exclusively as FemShep?) but it seems to be closer to a 60/40 split.
MaleShep still comes out on top, but not by as much of a head as you'd suppose.

Anyway. Point of this whole rambling post is that, yeah, I support MaleShep. And his Distaff Counterpart.
Hell, I support Shep, period.
HUGS FOR EVERYONE.

This brings up something I've always wondered about. What is The Angry One's problem with Sheploo? I understand that she wants FemShep to be used for marketing but her hatred for Mark Vanderloo is just.... I've just never seen someone hate somebody that much before.

Hey, don't look at me, man; I just work here.
Maybe she needs something to be... dare I say it?... angry about.

[Giggles_Manically]

I much prefer Meer's VO to Hale's.



He pulls it off really well when playing a Renegade, or with dramatic scenes where as Hale....

in the personal scenes she does amazing (Jacob's romance not counting), but in the big dramatic scenes.... not so much. It comes out forced really, and lacks the oomph.



Overall I prefer Meer for the dramatic and BIG scenes and Hale for the more personal scenes.



Here is my CANON Shepard:

What's wrong with Vanderloo?
He's a lot more polished than the other guy they had in the E3 2006 videos.
....but I still prefer playing as a custom Shep, whether Man or Fem.

There is nothing wrong with Vanderloo, he is by far the most realistic looking shepard and fits the voice to a T.

People dislike him because he is the poster boy for ME, and probably the most commonly used shepard. I can understand that, they want their ME experience to be individualised by using a custom face, but i just can't use a custom face for my canon shep, they look way too plastic and unrealistic.

To me, Sheploo is, "John Shepard." He doesn't feel like my Shepard. Maybe my custom ones look more plasticky, but they feel more like they belong to me.
I do wish I could have the ability to make minute modifications to his face, like I can with Jane Shepard (her face is still available in the "custom face," mode, but in "custom face," mode with ManShep, there's completely different faces available). Trying to redo faces is a painstaking process, and I think he's individualized anyway, so his features aren't available.
Which is a shame. I want to make a few modifications to skin tone and eyes to make him more "mine," otherwise I would use his face.

From what I understand, Sheploo isn't customizable because he's not creatable in-game. The face was scanned in from Mark Vanderloo and as a consequence is not alterable. Shame, really, but eh. I make do.
