Some guys play manshep so they can relate to the character more, others play femshep for eye candy.

I guess that about sums it up.

My FemShep,Dana was a homage on two of my favorite female anime characters,Dana Sterling of ROBOTECH fame and Deunan from Appleseed.Originally I gonna name her Diana Shepard after Princess Diana,aka Wonder Woman.Also,when first played ME1,Dana was an engineer with colonist/surivior background.After my first 360 died(sob!),I lost my ME1 saves,so she reborn as a spacer/war hero,whose mother is still in the Alliance,since then she has become my favorite Shep ever since.Ride On Baby!

So why do guys play as female characters?

My boyfriend played through his second character in ME1 & ME2 as a female adept who was strongly "pro-human".  He wanted a different play through than his male vanguard who was a tough guy (with a soft spot for Tali).  Having a drastically different appearance and dialogue helped with seperating the two playthroughs.

On the flip side, I never could get myself to make a male shep playthrough.  Though it was hard at first to feel like my 2nd shep was a different person from my first one (despite drastically different appearances and classes) eventually I got to feel like my paragon soldier was different from my reckless infiltrator.

I'm surprised by all those answers "because I want to look at hot body", because female Shepard has very average body and for 90% of time you don't see anything because she wears armor. Also her moves are totally asexually.

So nice try, girls-wanabe.


Last sentence was a joke .

There's actually a bit of truth in that.  You can be MaleShep and look at hot bodies by pursuing a heterosexual relationship with Ashley, Liara or any other female, so I don't buy that excuse either...

Yet these guys prefer to play as FemShep instead, which sort of implies that they kind of want to be a woman.......because we all know that being attracted to women is a lot different than wanting to be one of them..

Oh I got a good reason, Because all character use the Barbie doll character design. I would rather play a female barbie doll than a nuddered male ken doll.

Also, I can't really fathom the entire "ass-showed-into-your-face" argument.
First off, it's not exactly visible under all the equipment

That is like going to the beach and saying breasts are not visible under all those bras.

It's not there if you won't devote your entire attention to it.
Or are you saying the characters and stuff in the background rendered on Unreal engine 3 are invisible?

If you are at the beach, are the sea, and the sand, and the male visitors invisible?

[Grimez7]

 I prefer to play as a guy, I can't really see myself playing as a woman in a game, ruins the immersion. The excuse i hear from people in MMOs that play girls is that they prefer to look at the back end of a woman than a man(which i guess is a valid excuse )

[Eain]

Same answer I always give.

Because of Mark Meer.

If anyone else had been the Broshep VO I'd have at least been able to do a single playthrough, but his voice just takes me out of the action.

That's the thing. It obviously will look like a big neon sign to you, if you're going to make a big frakkin' deal out of it.
Or are you telling me that while on beach you prefer checking out every one of those males instead of catching the sun?

That hard to ignore?

Also, I am not picking on you or anyone else, just wondering what the reasoning is. Because frankly, all I see here so far is "I AM NOT GHEY, YUCK"

I hate the voice acting of Male Shepard, unfortunate alot of the female LI are bumped off because of it though. Thought in the future everyone has an open mind

 I always play female characters in RPGs.

I think it's because it's easier for me to make them different than myself. I used to play RPGs the "what I would do?" way, but most of the time I felt that my character is not nearly as intresting as a character that was specifically designed to live in this particular world (with it's problems, moral ambiguities and such).

That being said I like my characters to be flawed by modern day moral standards. I love them ruthless, or even fallen (you're good, you gain power and friends, then turn evil and corrupted, Kotor 1 style).

I tend to treat games worlds more seriously than they treat themselves .

In ME2 even though I knew you can save your whole team and whole Normandy Crew I chose not to save the Crew because i felt that I needed to prepair for the suicide mission more. It turned out that Suicide Missions are not as suicidal as they were back in the day, but hey... like I said I treat those imaginary worlds very seriously. In my first playthrough I lost only one team member... Legion. I liked that Suicide Mission actually meant death to someone. And later on, standing over his coffin I found that bittersweet idea of an AI Geth dying to save humanity very ironic.

My femShep's name is Lena Shepard. She has a shaved head, pale skin, and blue eyes (I will try to add a photo to this post). She's a ruthless earthborn soldier that will stop at nothing to get the job done.

Sigh.. really? This thread seems to come up on an hourly basis since 2007.

And across all games and fandoms. The OP is probably just trolling.

[BeefoTheBold]

I like (liked) to play both.

I always do in modern video games when possible because the character interactions typically play out very differently.

And also, I happen to think Jennifer Hale is the best female voice actress in the industry so that's extra incentive here.

[SSHSpartan]

In my sense a Male Shepard is a cannon soldier. However if I decide to eventually play an Adept through all three games a Female Shepard would be my cannon choice because thats just how I think it would make more sense, which I might be doing because Adepts are amazing and I don't know what I've been missing out on.

What else is there to say?

Seriously though I play a male shepard in most of my playthroughs though I do like femsheps voice acting sometimes.

I am a straight male, I ONLY play Femshep.

1. I do not enjoy looking at a man's butt for hours on end when playing a game.
2. When romancing Liara or Traynor or whatever girl there is 2 girls there, far more pleasurable to look at than a dude and a girl.
3. Hale's voice is better.

[XTR3M3]

I play as one for variety for a second but usually at least 3rd play through, but I always play a male first. I think one of the ME feeds actually encourages you to "try a different class and gender for a different experience" doesn't it? It is easier for me to play an "evil" or "renegade" player as a fem Shep due to the disconnect of my being male and my protagonist being female. I always feel too much like a chump doing it as a male.

On another note, games that are 3rd person like this or a variation of 3rd person....well, I would much rather watch a hot chick run around than a dude. So I guess it is a combination of things. I don't like playing as a female exclusively or even first .....so do I even fit this category?

[Sashimi_taco]

Because some men are so terrified of male sexuality and they are so adamant on sexualizing women that they simply must play a female character.

OH GOD I LOOKED AT A MAN'S BUTT DURING A GAME, DOES THAT MEAN I'M GAY!?!?!?

[Solmanian]

Because people keep tellling us that femshep has better acting and whats not.I don't realy agree with that but still...

[Dragonfable of Dain]

Do you realy need an answer?..... and yes Jennifer Hale is a great voice actress.

[Doofe2012]

1. I think FemShep is beautiful

2. Mark Meer's voice, frankly, puts me to sleep. I could listen to Jennifer Hale all day, though.

3. The majority of action games only have male protagonists like Sheploo. I find it cool how a woman can save the world/galaxy, too.

 I play as a male Shepard because I am roleplaying to some degree. I despise the argument of "if I'm going to stare at an ass for hours I want it to be hot" or whatever balderdash it is I've heard. I also don't give a damn about the female Shepard supposedly having a better voice actor, as I don't find it to be so.
