I always play FemShep. After one playthrough I got spoiled on Jennifer Hale's voice. Mark Meer is a good actor and all, but I find Hale's voice to be a bit stronger.

Lies!

That being said, it's much harder than it should be to make a decent looking toon - male or female.  You get a couple locked viewing angles and flat lighting.  Then in both games you have to sit through an unskippable cinematic, then in ME2 you have to play a short level and sit through another cinematic before you can even get a peek at what your results look like.

My current avatar is the result of:
- About ten different versions of a ME1 toon.  Thats right, I got to hear Udina say, "Well, what about Shepard" ten times before I settled.
- A manual recreation of the ME1 toon in ME2 without a saved code since imported toons don't have codes.  Had to eyeball it.

You are not alone here. I actually restarted ME1 half way through(a few times) because I thought my Shep looked "out of place" or just butt-ugly with weird lighting. That was prob why I hate the Mako so much.

i restarted my shep too at one point quite far into the game because from one angle her nose looked nasty xD

I have one playthrough as maleShep; non-import ME2 only to see what the "default decisions" were and see what the Tali romance was like. I never made it through ME with a maleShep. I can't stand the voice acting. [this is also one reason I'm very uneasy about DA2; if I don't like the voice actor then the game is pretty much over for me]

Only EVER play as manshep. Can't get into a playthrough as a woman.

[Miths]

I tried in ME1, but dropped him for FemShep (or more precisely, Jennifer Hale) within an hour.

I tried again briefly in ME2, but it's just impossible for me to see Commander Shepard as anything but a woman voiced by Hale.

[Furiaen]

DanaScu, I did the same thing for the same reasons, however I'm only just past Horizon, and can't continue playing my ManShep to save my life.



Love my FemShep, have since day one of ME1!

To all those saying they love playing as femshep, are you women? Or are most of you guys?



I can't get into mass effect when i'm a female in the game.

I'm a (33 year old) guy.

Jennifer Hale's amazingly pleasant and sexy voice and her great voice acting skills are the sole reason why I play FemShep.
I don't pretend that I'm the character on the screen when I play games, I'm just controlling him or her, so the gender doesn't really matter to me unless I have a specific reason to choose one over the other, such as I have in this case.

Around 99% of my music collection also features female vocals these days (Springsteen is pretty much the only man remaining that hasn't been kicked out ). There's just something about listening to a beautiful female voice that I really enjoy.

The only time I played as MaleShep was when I first bought Mass Effect 1. On my third playthrough I decided to try Femshep and I have been hooked ever since. I am a 20 Year old guy and I just find femshep to be more entertaining. Jennifer Hale does a terrific job as Shepard and I would not have it any other way. Plus I always make my femshep gothic looking which is always a plus

36 and female.  My 39 year old husband also prefers femshep, but he played MaleShep for Tali.  Sigh.  Well, if he puts up with my Thane swooning I can put up with his Tali adoration....  :innocent:

[ciaweth]

35 and female. My fiance (male, 34) also plays femShep, though his current PT is a full-renegade maleShep.

[Miss Yuna of Atlanta]

I don't like Mark Meer's voice acting but he does his job. I play as a female Shepard every time for multiple reasons, one of which is Jennifer Hale's voice.

[Ferocious7]

I prefer femshep too. the voice acting is amazing and to be honest I'd rather watch a female running around for hours upon hours than some guy who isn't me. The only reason I played male shepard is for the romances. Fem shep stayed true to liara unless you include kelly (on the playthrough I will most likely keep as cannon although I have a lot of different saves). haha

[kglaser]

I play as FemShep nearly every time for two reasons. One, Jennifer Hale feels like she is at least trying to act (although I have to admit I think her acting skills declined from ME1 to ME2, and I'm a big fan of hers, overall)...and two, I love the idea of a badass female saving the galaxy.

Oh wait, 3 reasons...Garrus romance FTW.

In ME2 it's more like watching a female man-jog.

[idoless24]

Hate the voice for Male Shep.. love Jennifer Hale.

[kglaser]

I can't reiterate enough how much Mark Meer wrecks the character for me. To me, he's utterly immersion-breaking.

When I fist started playing I did this a lot.  I'd get to Eden prime see what she really looked like in the light and start over.  I've sort of gotten the hang of it now.  They aren't going to be on Glamor magazine, but they look human and attractive.

I can never role-play a character that's not my gender. So I play femshep only. Plus I love her voice acting ^^v

[clennon8]

I've played both many times. FemShep's voice acting is better, but ManShep's isn't that bad, honestly. That said, the main reason to play ManShep is to romance Tali or Miranda.

same here, i could never play a female (i'm male obviously) character in a rpg, i sometimes create one just to see how they look etc, but i never really played a female character in a game, it somehow destroys the experience of roleplaying for me  :innocent:

[Sable Phoenix]

I completely prefer FemShep, again because of the acting. Shepard's already hard to relate to because the writing doesn't provide a whole lot of motivation or emotion for the character, but Hale manages to deliver most lines with at least a shade of emotion, and in certain situations, such as the Renegade options to chew out Al Jilani or the Admiralty Board in ME2, she knocks it right out of the park.  I actually feel that her delivery and characterization have improved in ME2 over ME1.  There are certain lines here and there where Meers' actually does sound more appropriate to the situation than Hale's, but those are comparitively few and far between. Most of the time, Meers sounds like he's got a head cold, which is really unfortunate because I know he actually is a good voice actor (the Biotic God volus should be proof enough of that). I've yet to complete a playthrough with a MaleShep, at first because the voice acting was consistently better from Hale, and later it was because every time I heard “Shepard”, the image in my head defaults to a woman instead of the “iconic” face chosen by BioWare.

Always play as femshep as well!

I tried to play as a maleshep vanguard but I quit after Omega and made a femshep one

Jennifer Hale's voice is just that good! Also...

dat ass!

[Mobius-Silent]

Male player here who always plays femshep, I've tried 3 different malesheps but just can't get over his voice, it's really, really irritating. However Hale's delivery is perfect for me so I'm happy.

[rememberence]

I was halfway through a maleshep Vanguard playthrough when LoTSB came out, hopped onto my femshep Adept and now I'm giving up. I managed /one/ playthrough for Tali (this one was for Jack) but I seriously can't stand his voice anymore, he makes the whole game flat and horrid to me.



Whenever I play femshep I think about playing multiple characters and playthroughs and runs. Maleshep I have to fight the urge to turn off the game.
