I know it's wishful thinking, but i want a crysis 2 type cover. It looked epic.

Shepard on a hill, looking back at the camera while a battle is taking place in front of him with destruction all around. THIS IS A WAR!!!!!!!


Even a female Shepard would be fine there as long as it looks as epic.

the original idea for a variant cover i guess comes from the current trend in comics to promote a particular story by having a regular and variant cover of the same issue. I just thought it would be really cool to have a limited edition variant with a femshep just to incorporate the big fanbase that femshep players have...

i like the idea of a minimalist non-shep cover too- very interesting... N7 again or maybe based on the Normandy?

From ME3 Trailer Last Year added in with a fem shep instead.

Due to some image/text editing on it, and you got a ME3 Female shep boxart.

A FemShep cover where she's wearing a helmet would be awesome. That would solve the problem of custom Shepards.

And for those who don't like the idea; it would be a variant, thus you can still have the version with male Shepard. Everybody wins.

It would be nice, but I don't see the point. Sheploo seems to be the face of Mass Effect (as he is on every cover), making a different cover (as in, one without him on the cover) might confuse some folks on the game.

Considering how it's been a hot topic around the forums since ME1 it would be a nice touch if the Collectors Edition (at least) had a reversable cover or something similar that allowed you to swap in a FemShep themed cover. I don't expect it though.

Sorry, not happening.

Whoa, never thought of that!

I like it.

I like to see Shepard in the cover with several Reapers above him.

Just be glad that there is a option to play as a woman. And that she is made so well. Many games out there that let you play as a female still have a lot of bugs/glitches in them that it almost feels like you playing as a drag queen. You look like a woman but they all address you as a man....*shudders*

To be fair Saints Row lets you play as a drag queen.

As much as a lot of you want it to happen its not going to happen. The closest you will get to a female shepard on the cover is going to be a ME2 CE cover with all things like cost to Bioware/EA and logistics to retailers considered. I work in a retail store and I for one don't want to have to deal with the "what you don't have the [insert sex here] cover!!!!" bull****.

[MidnightRaith]

I would love to have the option, but it won't kill me if it isn't there. Personally, I only play as femshep because 1. I'm a chick and 2. I despise Mark Meer. I realize that he's more popular than Hale but he seriously sounds like a brick with a face imo. Anyway, it would just be nice to be represented.

[Razorsedge820]

Does it really make a difference who is on the cover or being represented in advertisements? We all know Femshep is going to be in the game. Its not like Bioware/EA is out to upset and ignore all the female fans, they know Mass Effect has a huge female following. All that matters is whats in the game.

I never play as the default Shepard but it doesn't bother me he is on the cover and in advertisements, I would have same attitude if Femshep was on the cover. The simple fact of the matter is that there are more male players regardless of what certain threads and polls on this social site say, it's just that female fans of Mass Effect are more dedicated.

[MidnightRaith]

I'm not going to be upset. I just meant that the option would be nice. If bioware doesn't include femshep on the cover I'm hardly going to scream ruined forever!!! at the top of my lungs. Representation would be nice, but it's not a deal breaker.

[PrinceLionheart]

Nice idea but I doubt it'll happen.

Don't forget you can play as muscular butch gangsta. Never seen those before in games.

Then again Saints Row 2's character creator is the best one I've ever seen and completely ruined every other creator to me.

One problem with the covers and ads is that  a significant portion of female gamers don't realize that you can play as a girl in Mass Effect. It's not marketed to them, so they don't pick it up, and they end up grabbing the next Squenix RPG off the shelf instead.

I think back to my time in high school, when all my female friends were playing JRPGs. They would all have loved ME, but I don't think any of us would have bought it. Now, after years of no western games that cater to us, a lot of the female console gamers I know pretty much just play JRPGs, maybe Fable, and that's it. More Femshep marketing might get more female butts in these metaphorical seats. God knows there's plenty of romance and character development in here for them, and it's a damn sight better written than Squall and Rinoa.

Sure I'd like an alternate cover with Femshep on it for me, but who cares about me? I'm going to buy this game no matter what. I'm going to buy all the DLC for this game no matter what. They don't have to worry about me. I want the alternate cover for all the teenage or twentysomething girls who walk into Gamestop looking for a new RPG to play.

^ I think it would bring in a larger female market too. Personally, I have a problem finding games because too many feel like testosterone fuel and it would be great if devs found a way to inform us that this may not be the case. Femshep doesn't even have to be the center piece. Just put her on the box to let us know she's an option.

[BS Veyron]

designing and producing an alternate cover = $$$. Its an unnecessary cost and Bioware is a business.

[Tarahiro]

I don't want to be forced to have Sheploo on my cover - expecially if i'm forking out who knows how much for the collectors edition. I think it should be a no-shep cover, or if they insist on having Shep on the front, make the cover reversible. That way I can switch the cover around to have FemShep. Loads of games dont have the characters on the front cover and they do just fine.

A reversible cover would be awesome. I assume it would be cheaper to do that rather than have FemShep on a whole other box, but what do I know about the cost of video game boxes..... The lack of a Shepard would be cool too, maybe just a picture of the massive Reaper fleet or something.
