Highlight the custimizable nature of the protagonist. And letting people know that the Mass Effect world offers something other than the generic space settings of other games. The inclusion of the Female Shepard is a big part of this. Other settings and other games do not treat female characters with the kind of respect the devs do in this game. Not only is it refreshing, its really darn cool. Plus Jennifer Hale's performance is constantly hailed as one of the best single performanes to come out in a game, well, ever. Im not hating on Meer. He's great. Lets not get derailed.
I think that Fem!shep is something special and it would be a waste for marketing to not show this. Fem!shep is a powerful asset. Show her off.
I remember the ads in my comics for ME2 that had page, after page, of headshots of the alien characters (plus Miranda) that highlighted the team members. There were also the videos. Also, recently, there were the DA2 adds that highlighted the three different classes. So I know that the Bioware/EA marketing guys are open to trying new and risky things to get new gamers in. And that they realise that they need to show what makes Mass Effect unique. Female Shepard (and Ashley and other characters) offer something most games do not have... interesting female characters. There is no doubt that this is a draw for some gamers. Why not highlight the most interesting female character in the game, namely Shepard herself?
I think letting new gamers know that there is a Fem!shep option, through a blurb on the back of the box or through marketing (like youtube videos and etc) can only help the franchise. Mass Effect 3 is the last in the seriers. Lets pull out all the stops to make it the most successful no?
So? Your thoughts?
