Purely the aesthetics. I'll typically play through as a female first but I have an even mix of genders for import into ME3... For whenever I get my enthusiasm back.

I always play male in video games, except in me because i love jennifer hale. When the pc isnt voiced, i will always choose male, because they are more badass in general.

there seems to be a lot of hate against the ManShep voice actor. I actually think he does a great job.

I have yet to play a FemShep myself, but I was messing about with ME1 faces to see how you can get her to look. My next playthrough, if I ever get to it, will certainly be a FemShep.

I also liked them both.  I liked listening to my male Shepard talk.  There were some things I liked his take on better and some things I liked her take on them.

Lol at nr.3 ?

I know it is your opinion, but guys can't be cool military heros?

If anything it is femshep that is unrealistic in that scenario....


Why exactly is femshep unrealistic?


I agree. Watch Xena.

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't they lower requirements for women in most of those places? Less miles in X minutes etc? If so, that is just plain wrong.

I have nothing against females in military if they adhere to the same standards!

I know they have lower requirements in the police force strangely enough.


Coming from a family where my father and two of my brothers have served in the military, I can safely say that if you were to ask them wether women are capable of serving in the army or not, their answer would be; yes, they can.

Jennifer Hale. 'Tis that simple. When I first bought Mass Effect, I defaulted to Male Shepard and absolutely couldn't stand his bland, disinterested voice. Switched over to FemShep, loved her, and the rest is history.

I'm not trying to hate on people for choosing a female character, but I don't understand why such a large percentage of players do in comparison to other games.

Think Skyrim. I almost never see female characters, I've watched tons of videos of it.
Or WoW (hold the rage, please). More females, perhaps, but not that many more.
Even Dragon Age: Origins lacked them.

Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect seem to have an oddly high number of female characters. I've heard the voice actor for FemShep is great, but honestly I find the male one to be equally as great, if not better.

So why, She-pards, did you make that choice? Do you think the voice acting is better? Lesbian scenes/staring at dat ass?


Because if I'm going to stare at an avatar's ass for an entire game, I'm making it a female one.

You realise the female demographic is starting to be seen as a market that can be more readily expanded (the male market being that much closer to a saturation point). If only designers could move away from the blatent misogyny that they just can't seem to resist .......

It's just more interesting and less stereotypical.

The Anderson death scene works better when you're FemShep, in my opinion.

Jennifer Hale is my childhood; why would I not choose femshep/lady hawke?

And Bastila Shan.

I'm a girl, why wouldn't I play as FemShep?
Also, Jennifer Hale.

I dunno. I usually play females in games where I'm given a choice, though I do have one BroShep. For the longest time, I really disliked Meer's voice acting, so I must have started ten files before I finally resolved to push through it and get my Talimance on.

I played my original FemShep Infiltrator for ME3, though.

I choose female in almost any game. Halo, Skyrim, Saints Row, Mass Effect, you name it. I personally find playing as male character boring and I like strong female leaders / roles in video games. Most of the time the voice acting is better too.

Just my opinion and reason why I like/use femshep.

I'm a woman. I had to play male characters most of my life. When I found companies that gave me the option of playing female, I started buying their games and skipping the others. Now I only buy games where I have the option to play female. I do play the male option but the majority of my characters are female. Like Me.

It's one reason I've always bought BioWare, Elder Scroll and Fall Out, and Fable 2 and 3. I an very happy these companies realize that we do play video games and give us the option of playing a great female character.


Yep I do this too. I know this means I may skip some games I like but if you don't give me the option then I ain't giving my money more often than not.


 I've heard there are others like us.  Nice to know I'm not alone in my, according to some, strange viewpoint.  :)  There are games that sound good, but I just got tired over the years of playing a guy, so I haven't bought a game in years that doesn't give me choices.

I think it's interesting because I'm a hipster like that. But IDK, my first ME1 playthrough was Femshep for some reason, and now I just see Shepard as a woman most of the time. I like to do things most other people don't in games.

I am female, and because of Jennifer Hale. And if there could be a faceoff, FemShep would totally kick BroShep's ass.

I usually play female characters. Makes it easier to think of what my character would do rather than what I would do. In my experience, female voice actors tend to be better too.

I mostly play maleshep though, there's something about femsheps animations or model that just seem...off.

I'm a girl so I play FemShep, plus Jennifer just makes Shep to be such a badass I can't help it.

I'm not sure about this but I have a feeling Bioware has a lot more female players than most companies with the same type of games and it would have to be the fact that they give us a much more rich character development. This is just a guess though.

If the game gives me a choice? I play as a badass female. As for the dudes, maybe they'd rather see the backside of a female character than a dude? Not sure.
