Everyone knows Shepard is male... femsheps are just an 'alternate' universe. Like Revan being female in KOTOR or the Exile being male in KOTOR 2.

Besides... you should be able to romance liara as a woman in ME1... which carries over to ME2 then ME3. Liara is the canon romance of Mass Effect just like Shepard is male and the DESTROY ending.


Bioware (Casey) stated that there is NO cannon you retard
citing KotOR is stupid as any part of E.U in the Star Wars universe needs to be attributed a level of cannon (there is so much E.U stuff that this is absolutely mandatory for keeping stuff coherent).
Lucas stated long ago that if an ending is left open (or there is multiple endings) the light one is considered cannon.

Now take for example Jade Empire, can you tell me who is the official character (Jen Zi please! :P) ? The official Romance? The official ending? No you can't as I can't because there never was an official cannon description, same for Mass Effect and Dragon Age...

I admit I like his persona and I'd
support a LI with Vega because of it but just curious are women really
into that sort of figure?

But if I want to play an RPG and actually feel like I fit into the story as a woman?  Pretty much only BioWare games so far have offered that level of immersion.



I have a really hard time playing a game as a guy. If its good I'll suffer through it, but it just feels off to me.  When my son tells me I have to try a game, I ask if I can play a girl.  It usually involes bribes for me to try a game where I have to play a guy. 

I agree I haven't found a company that gives me the level of immersion Bioware does.



I am a guy and I have a hard time playing as one. I am straight just for the record. Some games out there I feel alienated because of how they design guys to look in general. To me Shepard just feels like she should be a woman. No offence to any ManShep fans.

The thing that really makes this thread entertaining for me is that straight males are more into Garrus than any of the female posters. From what I can tell anyway.

Yea, I'd do Garrus over any of the female characters myself (even though the premise of Turian-human romance is ridiculous), most of them are really boring, or I just plain don't like em (aka the germaphobic space goat).

*throws down glove*

How DARE you, sir!

Mind you some of the bikini armour mods for Fallout and TES are facepalm worthy, though I did find a great cyber-suit thing to run around in with Fallout, similar to an ME hardsuit.


Ugh...finding good armor mods for female characters that aren't pornographic is a rarity.  If I had any modeling talent, I'd do it myself.  I like my armor to look like it would actually deflect a blade.

Wasn't it found out that female gamers make up 40% of the demographic? No, that's not half, but that's still a big chunk. In fact, there are more female gamers than male gamers < 17.

I can't believe they teased me with Vega. I would have cheated on Kaiden with him. (Okay, I wouldn't... but I made some great jokes about it over headset with my best friend. "Oh god, he's doing push-ups and grunting. Oh, oh geeze. Uhm. Uhm. Uhm. I have to go. I have a boyfriend. He's the one uhm. Uhm. His name starts with. F. I think.")

'course, Bioware would never make LIs out of the males I like, sooooo yeah.

I love Garrus.  But the human-turian romance thing.  :?  All I can hear is that conversation on Ilium between the Quarian and Taurian where he was saying, "You need to date someone who can eat the same food as you."  So...Garrus is friendzoned.  Tali is a good match.

People actually played with a straight Fem Shep. lol I don't know...almost non of the male partners seemed natural. Fem Shep was pretty much saying "Give it to me" to all of them except for Thane. That's the only one that seemed to develop naturally....not that I chose that option since I stick to Liara with Fem Sheps.

No Liara? She's there to romance no matter what,



Well… strictly speaking, she has boobs. Me, I love boobs, and if I’d liked her better, might’ve had my Shep romance her.

But if Liara had a schlong instead of boobs, would most straight guys have wanted to romance her even if it was said that she’s not really ‘male’ in spite of said schlong?





Uh... no?

I adore Garrus. He's my true love. I have saves right before each scene where I can interact with him and I replay them all the time lol. However like many of us Garrus girls we loved Thane too only to have that blow up in our faces.

I use to tell my husband he would feel the same way for Garrus if he played the game.

Yeah, for any of my shep's that went with liara, it had very little to do with her personality.

I've never played a femshep but I watched the videos on youtube and thought femshep got boned (metaphorically) in ME3. All I could think was Jacob cheated, Thane dead wow I feel sorry for girls that play this.

If Kaiden dies, and you don't have a lizard fetish, you're kind of screwed.

In the leaked script you can answer to Kelly who asks you if you have a LI with something like: "Yes. I met a man named James."

Which is a shame, because very time there's an opportunity to have a decent female lead in a well made game it doesn't happen or isn't canon.

Don't get me wrong, in most games where I can choose my gender I usually make a male character but Mass Effect was always something special and I reject the canon gender. :police:

Heh I went straight for Garrus every time. I liked Thane but at the end of the day, bird/lizards > frogs. Yeah.

This.

The exoskeleton thing is a bit hard for me to wrap my mind around.  A Garrus romance introduced some hilarious comments from Mordin, though.

Ahhh Mordin...I'm glad he died in the good part of the game.

Oh man, that talk with Mordin...

I could never decide what my femShep would say to him. "I'm not allergic to bees" or "Well then, better get some antihistemene ready, I'm going in. Just leave it outside the door."
