I've never played as femshep either, i AM however going to do a femshep walkthrough after Bioware fixes the ending and start a romance with traynor.

[mxfox408]

I have both a fem shep and male shep, is it wrong that I like femshep better? **** no, its all about the experience, and in most cases femshep is better imo.

[jijeebo]

Having grown up on Tomb Raider and Buffy, I prefer female leads... There's just something badass about a woman kicking ass and saving the galaxy, and assuming a role that would have typically been filled by a male until recently.

They also look better, imo the manshep options are lacking.


Oh and both my canon femshep and manshep romanced Kaidan... Before people pull the "liekz to look at teh gurlz" argument. xD

Also, before ME3, Meer's voice acting was made of wood and plastic

haha, OP, its the same guys that play girls "Manginas" in MMOs so loser guys can give them free ****.

Two words: Garrus romance.

I assume many shallow reasons are to blame.

Me, I have a single femshep so I can experience the story from her side, otherwise I only have mansheps.

[betd2]

two reasons.
1. Jenifer Hale's VA is awesome
2. Dat ass.

[DarkCerberus72]

Jennifer Hale, she bloody rules. My first ME2 run was with femshep, loved it. My 2nd was as male shep, i was bored so fast and wanted it to end so i skipped all side quests. I do not like Mark Meers voice acting, im sure hes a great guy but Jennifer Hale kicks his ass.
She has this thing where....she can make any line sound believeable and extremely emotional. Naomi (MGS), Trishka (Bulletstorm), and FemShep, are some of my favourite characters of all time, and its all thanks to her.

 Reading the story discussion on these forums has surprised me just how many guys refer to their Shepard as "she". In a game all about immersing yourself as the main character it just seems awkward to me to play as the opposite sex, especially given all the romance plots, etc. 

I have played the whole series through multiple times but have never made a single female Shepard... am I missing any major plot elements or great scenes? Anyone else feel the same way? 

There's really nothing weird about it unless you make it so.  The first time I made a female character was in SWG.  I felt awkward as hell about it too, but you get over it.  You understand that the character you've made or are using isn't you.  It's a bit like projecting: how would you behave if you were "this person."  Writers do it all the time and it's not in the least bit awkward once you get used to the process.

Fem shep is the only true shep.

That's a stupid assumption, most of my wow characters are female, I just like female characters a lot better, as do most everyone who plays one. Maybe you should post when you mature a bit.

Relax Tiger, you can play all the female toons you want.

If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't be one.

I just don't see how people distance themselves so much from the main character they are controlling.

Even the boxes of every ME game say "YOU ARE Commander Shepard."

[Zu Long]

Two reasons: 1. There are sufficiently few opportunities to play video games as a female main character that I often do so with Bioware games just for the novelty.

2. Jennifer Hale is amazing as Paragon Shep, IMO.

I never really thought "I" was commander Shepard. When I play games, I see them more as interactive movies than my own adventure. 

I enjoy playing FemShep in for the same reason I enjoy movies with female leads.

1 - Something different
2 - Badass chicks are awesome (why my only femshep is renegade)

My main Shep is male, but I'm doing a female plathrough to make the story as different as possible

I mean be honest, would Tomb Raider be as interesting if Laura Croft was a guy? Was it wierd to play as Claire or Jill in Resident Evil, or Samus in Metroid?

PLaying a female character doesn'tmake you a closet homosexual, or mean that you secretly want to be a woman or something, it just adds a different perspective and variety.

I wonder if there are so many thread dedicated to "Why do so many people play the blue hedgehog" or "deformed midget Italian plumber"

Just for difference. She's not my main, though. My main was a MaleShep. Haven't even gotten my FemShep through ME2.

[Ossborn76]

Usually, when I can choose between male and female characters, and there are more character classes that can be played in a game, I chose 50 / 50 % male / female...

In Mass Effect, however, I don´t like the custom male options (never play the archetypes when I can design my own character), so I only had female Sheps up to now... maybe one day, for a playthrough with romancing Tali, I will play a male Shep too...

And yes, somehow I prefer looking at a female back, when I play a game for hundreds of hours, too

1) Woman of and with power, and control, I like that.
2) Better voice acting.
3) Sexual orientation-related biased choice.

But I also have two other Shepards, both Males, although I don't play them since it's pointless to play ME games now.

[curdy]

only reason i ever played as broshep was for tali, since femshep was denied a tali romance in me2 T-T

this somes up my femsheps pain

[Gruzmog]

This topic is like a weed o.o it appears in every game forum were you can play a female char

[Grand Wazoo]

For me, it is much more interesting to play a long trilogy with a good female protagonist, I've seen male heroes save the galaxy over and over again to the point of boredom. Also, Hale's superior voice acting doesn't hurt either.

For me, Shepard is not an extension of myself, I am there just to enjoy the story and setting in a way I enjoy the most.

[Joush]

 Jennifer Hale's voice acting is supurb. I was also able to have a lot of fun exploreing gender bais in a siutation where you are really hearing almost the exact same lines from the same character, just from different genders.
