What do you think? Bioware's other series, Dragon Age, has a mostly female writing team, I believe.

[EssenceEngine]

Possibly. No way to say for certain. Remember that we should not go by stereotypes in this case, since your stereotypical person is not likely going to be writing for a game in that sense.

I wouldn't say there would've been much difference. I prefer the writing of Mass Effect to Dragon Age personally.

[greed89]

it wouldn't of been the mass effect we know and love now would it

The more the merrier imo.

Gender doesn't matter.

[AdmiralCheez]

I don't care what sort of genitals the writers have so long as they know what they're doing and are good at it.

[Stormy-B]

The ultimate writing staff must be dual gendered people.



Anyway, there are sh*tty writers and awesome writers, both male and female. A better question is: Would Mass Effect have benefited from having a few more talented writers on the team?

And yes, it could have. It could also have destroyed it if they couldn't work together.

I don't care whether writers are male and female as long as they're good, honestly. Agreeing with Stormy-B.

Take Shepard, for instance. All this chaos, destruction.  You can't discern a person by their gender alone.

Things explode around you Shepard, you can't blame Aria for not caring whether you're male or female...

I think the general idea for this question is whether or not we'd have a different perspective on certain aspects of the game.

For example: Trying to make a male NPC love interest attractive to a heterosexual female player.

I think gender can help in this regard, the same way sexuality could if you wanted to create characters with different sexual preferences.

agree with this. 

a good writer can write a beleivable anything.  BUT.  a good writer also uses consultants, people they observe, talk to etc.  no ammount of imagination and tallent can help with that.  ME, IMO while not nessesarily needing specific genders for its writers, definitely could benefit from observing/consulting more and varied people, both male and female.  just to make certain character interactions more believable and relatable.

I think that having female writers on the team may have brought new perspectives that may have enhanced the female Shepard playing experience.

As long as the writers are good, in my opinion it doesn't matter. I just like good stories, no matter who it's made by. For example, the author of Harry Potter is a woman, and even though I hate Harry Potter, I will admit that the books are well written and have have received due success. On the man side you got Mark Twain, I loved most of his books. Not the best examples but hopefully you see what I'm going for here.
