Cause after 5 minutes listening to Meer and 5 minutes listening to Hale, I pick Hale every time.  Just my preference.

[Eain]

1) Have a preference for strong female protagonists. Don't know why.
2) Jennifer Hale, Mark Meer's voice grates on my nerves.

Think Skyrim. I almost never see female characters, I've watched tons of videos of it.

Go to Skyrim Nexus. Look around for female exclusive armors. Done? Now search for male exclusive armors, or even unisex ones. Did you notice there are 10 female ones for every male one? Yeah. Might want to rethink that statement and watch more varied videos.

Regarding Mass Effect, two reasons:
- Jennifer Hale is by far the better voice actress.
- I like girls.

I have never heard of jennifer hale, and I think male shepard sounds like a feminin chuck norris, but femshep is so much worse, almost like hillary clintonesque. Makes my penis impotent for a week.

The difference in the quality of the voice acting in the first game was huge. I understand Mark Meer got better over the next two games but by then my Shepard was already formed as a character. Jennifer Hale's performance has been outstanding throughout.

It's rare to have a good female protagonist in a long trilogy and I'll take that chance when I see it. Plus, Jennifer Hale.

[Shikua]

Eh, I always played as MaleShep, mostly cause I only really have one Shepard, and I can't seem to divorce myself from him enough to do a totally different playthrough.

Because as a female gamer, I'd like to be able to play as my gender over having to play as a male all the time.

^ This.

You've got the choice between Mark Meer, who frankly I've never even heard of before Mass Effect, and Jennifer-freaking-Hale as your voice actor/actress. One has a relative handful of roles, the other is one of the most accomplished voice actresses in the entire world.

Not to mention theres something distinctly more badass about Femshep but I can't quite work out what.


I tend to just mix it up in games depending on how I feel though. I've got a male character in Skyrim and Oblivion but play Femshep in ME. I tend to have a mixture in any MMOs I play with a slight leaning towards more female characters than male. However in Mount and Blade I tend to play male. Dunno what influences my decision but I just feel "better" about playing certain genders in certain games.

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?

Don't want to stare on some guy's ass through entire game. I'm not gay.

I love the Honor Harrington books (David Weber, military sci-fi, awesome!). And she's a strong female character. I like both genders of the Shepard character, but the female version seems to get more of the angst of being a commander that has to make difficult decisions regarding life and death of her squadmates, the war effort and ultimately the fate of the galaxy (in whatever version/ending there might be).

It boils down to personal preference, really.

Yeah, definitely!  My femShep's choices is patterned VERY closely to what I think Honor Harrington would do.

[Awesomeman24]

I never saw the appeal of Jennifer Hale's VA myself, oddly enough my reason is the same reason people give for not liking Mark Meer's VA, that it's too bland. But I started playing a femshep game in ME1 and only got as far as Eden Prime before I stopped so I guess I don't belong in this thread. lol.

[FyreFlyeRush]

Honestly, because I'm female and so rarely do I get to play as one. So, whenever I can, I do. Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Fallout, Skyrim, Oblivion... It had the side benefit of the far superior acting of Jennifer Hale. Plus, custom female Shepards were easier to make than the male ones. I less than three my FemSheps.

EDIT: My FemSheps are inspired by Rhona Mitra in Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and Doomsday. That might explain the odd little Renegade actions here and there.

Did you ever consider that women play video games too or...?

Exactly.

My Shepard is black. Wanna ask about that too?

[StrayDogFreedom]

Because seeing a woman head butting a krogan is so much better. Oh and better voice acting.
It's also much more relatable for me because I am female as well.

[Dranume]

I have played the Fem-shep once on ME1 and stopped half way through. I always play as the Default appearance Male Shep.

childish reason = I want to be the dude on the cover of the box.

[Kilshrek]

You know what Samantha says about EDI having an attractive voice?

Yeah..

[GiBBsBoT05]

I just love Jennifer Hale that much. Also, I like the way the story plays out with her more - it was interesting to see Kaiden die after romancing, then romance Thane and have him slowly die too in ME3.

My Femshep had a tragic love life.

That and, I like the humble pie that bad guys eat after "getting beat by a girl durr". One more thing is just the uniqueness of it - so little video games have amazing female leading characters. It is more rare to see a cool female than a cool guy be the star of the story, and Femshep just does it so well I couldn't pass it up.

[chibilombax]

She sounds really cool when you pick renegade options

[The Angry One]

I'm sorry do I have to justify myself for playing my gender now?

I feel awful that I'd never paid much attention to her credits before ME....even though I realized I'd been hearing her voice all along. It was only after playign ME that I took a look at her roles, and I was stunned to see her resume.

Nothing but praise and respect for her
