So my points originates from several factors.
The first time I played ME1, I went straightly for a Quic-start Male Shepard. As you can easily guess, I chose the one-can-all-whopass Paragon path, and the story went quite epic, but was pretty much like an old-styled hollywood movie.

When I started to create other new careers, I did some experiment with Male/Female+Paragon/Renegade combination. In the end, I found the Female+Renegade the best. The reasons are:

1. Renegade is just cooler
Most RPGs are fantasy ones, on top of that, those that you act and become that "flawless" world saver. A Renegade is a very realitic persaonality, and is what makes Mass Effect special. A hero that gets the job done in his/her way, that's something not every RPG cam offer. Since you're playing a rated-M game already, why not try something special?

2. Female Shapard has a better Voice Actor/Actress and fitting personality as a Renegade
This remains the same in ME2, going through the entire story as a Female Renegade is much more thrilling than going as a seemingly heroic man. The Male voice is suitable for Paragon (no doubtly), yet when it comes to Renegade, the Female Shepard sets the bar high. The male one sounds too weak as Renegade~~"I'm playing to be fearsome but actually I regret what I've done", or it can be that a bad boy is
just stupid from my point of view. As for female Shepard? Her voice sounds more sinister all the time, and she has a stronger,  more commanding presence, and is more persuative(thus attractive) when intimidating. Combinaing all featyre above, it makes her a Renegade with depth in personality. Thus, she looks practical , powerful and awesome.

3. Bad Girl is Good~
I think many can agree with this. A Paragon man saving the entire galaxy? C'mon, give me a break, this is not any typical sci-fi created by any cowboy. Let the bad-ass boss lady lead the way and bring us some new sci-fi epicness!

What do you think?

I enjoy female Shepard more in general. I think Jennifer Hale does good work with both paragon and renegade lines.

[Synthauti]

Not sure if a Renegade is exactly what I'd call realistic. The neutral options usually strike me as more believable, but there isn't much room for neutrality given the nature of the morality system. Also, the "badass who doesn't play by the rules" isn't particularly unique or special. Play Rogue Warrior or a dozen other terrible games to see what I'm talking about.

Aside from that, I have no real opinion on what you've said. The voice acting on both male and female Sheps are passable, but not particularly interesting either way.

[Grunt Lord]

agree but i mix my points up not rene

[Clonedzero]

i cant stand the inconsistency in hales voice work. going from super angry to super monotone snaps any sense of immersion in half. meer handles the transitions far better and thus is a much better person to play as. also meers renegade sounds like a controlled anger while hale sorta just sounds like a sociopath lol

i dont see what sexism has to do with this though. are you saying my male shepard is cliche and sexist? thats a cheap card to play.

[skcih-deraj]

I happen to agree. (My femshep is renegade for life!) Femshep is so much more fun to play as when renegade becuase you get the feeling of "I don't wanna mess with her, but I gotta know more about her" kind of vibe. I just find her too boring and not as strong a character when she's paragon.

I have too agree on manshep. He's better paragon, but I think he's just as good renegade. Both voice actors do a good job of bringing Shepard to life (regardless of alignment) But anyway renegade femesheps are BA and a little differant from your typical female character. She's no damsel in distress and just as likely to shoot you first.

My Paragon femshep just made me a little frustrated... I couldn't stand all the nice, but my Paragon manshep seemed very likable.

Meanwhile my Renegade femshep seems damn awesome and I love how her voice can be so bitter and calmly commanding, and my Renegade manshep seems like a plain old douche with a bit of anger built up inside.

So I agree that femshep + Renegade is the best, but manshep + Paragon is the other best.

Paragon are for wussies. All butterflies and bunnies.

Renegade is much more fun to play, especially female renegade and  I prefer Hale over Meer 9/10 times.

[JetsoverEverything]

no sheploo is the best renegade fem shep is a way better paragon.

What I think? all a matter of personal preference

Cool an opinion thread passing itself off as Word of God. I don't like female Shepard so this thread isn't true.

[xIxDarkWolfxIx]

I understand your points but as my I enjoy playing "as myself" I find it hard to be renegade and to be female lol. That isn't to say I don't play as renegade nor as a female. I have 6 play-throughs; 4 male, 2 female. Of those 2 are paragon, 2 50/50 and 2 renegade.

Not defenestrating some because of petty impatience sure makes paragons wusses, huh

Neither my man shep nor my fem shep are paragons or renegade. They make decisions, bad and good. Based on personality, logic and circumstance. Chalking it up to "which morality are you" is just stupid in my opinion. I use the bars to keep track of how screwed up my Sheps are

i agree

[Turneyvore]

A thread after my own heart. My first and favorite Shepard is a Renegade FemShep, Anna Shepard. She is kickass in every sense of the word. Renegade FemShep 4 life.

My renegade Shep isn't pure renegade either, but I enjoy the renegade choises 90% of the time.

And defenestration is the ultimate cool!
Even my paragon Shep gets tired of that merc

[Geth_Prime]

My Femshep does everything for friends and innocents. Get on her bad side though, then she becomes Renegade. I think that's the perfect balance.

Paragons are wusses, huh? Well, we'll see about that in ME3...

[Dave of Canada]

Hale's tone varies far too much for me to like her in any role, especially Renegade. She sounds psychotic.

[Sebby]

Renegade and Renegon femshep ftw.

[Black Raptor]

I tend towards paragon femshep but stop short when it comes to the corny lines (like when recruiting Thane, upon hearing his explanation as to how he knew you were coming, you have the paragon option goes something like "you used us >" What Thane did was entirely understandable.) and I often pick renegade prompts too.
It's just I feel like renegade goes to far towards being a general dick/racist for me to relate to.

[Hyper_gateway]

Not that Paragon isn't good, but renegrade is better, that's all

[omgodzilla]

I prefer Male Shep for renegade. Some of the voice work for female renegade just makes it seem like shes trying too hard to be tough.

[PrinceLionheart]

Disagree. Male Shep can romance both Ashley and Tali. Theoretically, that makes MaleShep superior to FemShep.

Exactly, when it comes to flexibility in character developments, FemShep truly gives players shock&awe with that "I don't wanna mess with her, but I gotta know more about her" feeling, and that makes a perfect Renegade. Also, the kind of aggressive, dominating female personality makes the story rich and intriguing.
