All this fuss over trailers and boxes.

For all I care they can put spiderman on the box. I just want the game to be good.


Lol.

Yes, the FemShep community is quite happy with this news. Silverman is awesome, and adorable, as seen here.


Yeah, Silverman is awesome, as seen here.

@Flyingwalrus

I'm well aware he's in marketing. That's my point.

Conspiracies!!! Where?

Well, you implied that Silverman ought to be working on making sure the game is good or something when that's simply not even his job. It just seemed like a ridiculously uneducated demand to make. But if you meant to say something else, then consider the remark scrubbed.

RE: All you overzealous FemShep supporters

Lose the persecution complex plz. A lot of your theories and proclamations I find very hard to believe, much less support. Perhaps this is the reason that people that would otherwise be neutral on the issue are so reticient to be glad that Bioware would be doing this now; it seems like simple capitulation. I find it very, very hard to believe that anyone who has played the game wouldn't know that it is possible to play as a female version of the protagonist when every major Bioware game of this decade has had the option.

Bioware is not systematically trying to keep FemShep obscure. Why would they? They made her. They poured a ton of resources into giving her a voice, making the models and the meshes. I can acknowledge that they were a little negligent in her handling in ME2 though, not giving her her own unique animation rig and all. Mostly though I can see the reason that she was not really 'promoted' being that she didn't have a unique facial model the way Sheploo does. Just like canon Darth Revan was male in KoTOR, canon Shepard happens to be Sheploo. The thing is that doesn't have to be YOUR canon (and yes, we get that too. Stop saying it in bold indignant letters.), but from a practical standpoint Bioware had to determine THEIR canon so they could sell a focused product.

"More than I hoped and less than she deserves"? Get off your high horse already.

And yes, I play FemShep. And Shepard. Never have played Sheploo.

I guess BW enjoys confusing their audience. Is it at least going to be an alternative one?

I haven't read all of the posts so forgive if this has been mentioned...now I'm not sure how much resources this would use up or anything but i think if you preorder the game thru bioware/origin it should give you the option to pick which gender you prefer, either male or female Shep. And if you decide to buy it in store like gamestop or something it will have a certain amount of both genders or they could do the collectors edition with femshep and the regular as male shep.

well said (though 'canon' is not technically correct as BW's portrayal of shepard in videos has been varied at times, in terms of class at least).

Undereducated? No, the fault is with you and your lack of reading comprehension, nothing else. He's supposed to be marketing a game, not box art. He’s more concerned with style rather than substance, which after DA2 is a joke. I’ve seen nothing of note from this guy about the game itself.

ummmmm, you do realise that box art is a HUGE part of marketing. Im not exactly gonna buy a game which has a turd on the front....actually, I probaly would, just for the novelty

Again, it's all style not substance. If you base your purchases on how the box art looks, that's your business.

All who are upset over BW's recent decision to place femShep on the back of the CE's cover and make a trailer featuring her: Please utilize this resource.

Seriously, it's the back of the cover and one trailer, out of all the marketing material featuring Sheploo. It's not like BW is getting rid of him or marginalizing/ignoring him (as they had done with femShep, btw). This is good progress, even if it's a small step.



Loved this! I saved that form...it's awesome! I like where your heads at.;)

Well exactly, you have just admitted box art is important for some people, so by your own admission its a key part of marketing. It doesn't matter if you dont care about box art, because you are going to buy the game anyway. But for many other people it does matter, and is therefore why it is a massive part of a marketing job

You're really not getting this, are you? After DA2, style just isn't going to cut it anymore. Style is one part, substance is another. And I've seen little to no substance. But you didn't purchase DA2, so you weren't stung like most of us were.

I don't like this at all. Cannon Shep should be the only one on the cover. If they're gonna have femshep, they might as well put my custom Shep on the cover too.


Cannon?

Oh you mean canon.


Well here are news. There is not canon Shepard but one that player makes.


Here you are,one canon for you

Oooowww, nice! I have to say that I like the big, destructive canon though...it does more damage., but the small one could be used to capture that damge! A perserved memory....aaahhhh!:lol:
