Because it is easier to immerse yourself in the game if you are the same gender as the protagonist.

Because I am a male and therefore can relate more closely to a Male Shep.

Also buttsecks.

Seriously, where the **** are your eyes when you're playing the game? Why do people keep bringing up "I dont want to state at my shepards manly ass" all the time. My eyes are focused around the surrounding, not on my god damn bottoms.

Feels like if you're bringing up that as an arguement, you're using that even for Gears of War and other misc games out in the market, and in the end of the day; You're probabably some homophob or just haven't come out of the closet.

Srsly.

I always choose female in games when I can. Who wants to stare at guy butt for 150 hours?

I identify with male main characters more being male myself. I just use the default male Shep because when I try to make a Shep that I think looks better I never seem to get him to look exactly how I want him to look and he ends up looking a bit "off" or "scary."

Uh huh, sweeping generalisations, where would we be without them?

I prefer to put myself into the situation of the main character in most games. So I usually pick male.

Then I guess the Tomb Raider and any other game with a female main are specifically for those who are either confused or comfortable enough with themselves and know just who they really are to have no confusion whatsoever.

Yet, it makes logical sense that those who make the claim of confusion could easily be the ones experiencing it themselves.

If you could, would you pick greater butt ? It could be great advice for next Bioware´s game character creator.

My default shepard is male because otherwise there would be no Tali romance, I have a femshep and so far I dont think I seen any major plot points apart from different LI.

Because I can't imagine myself in Shep's shoes if Shep is a female, and I just wouldn't feel comfortable romancing male LIs...

As a girl, I always play as FemShep. I tried to use MaleShep once but I couldn't play more than 10 minutes, it was almost disgusting. Bad voice acting, tons of testosterone... I can't play +100 hours staring at a gym rat!


What... 0.o...

Male Shep has the best voice acting.... and how is he a gym rat! that would be vega, also shep tons of testosterone WTF maybe if your renegade but then you did that not the game. I'm slightly offended LOL

Thats like me saying " I can't play femshep to much estrogen"..... WHAT????? you act like male shep is foaming at the mouth and puching every one in the face.... he punches the same amount of people as femshep Posted Image

Well maleshep has LI that are more enjoyable to watch.

With femshep you get a much better view when starring at her back.

50/50 really, If I roleplay my guy than its a guy, when I treat the game like watching a movie than I play either one, both are fun and its like watching two different films.

Because it's easier to relate to.

When I want to play a woman, I'll look through my gf's wardrobe.
When I want to play WITH a woman, I'll start by lighting some candles and wait for her to get home. :P

The goal of most rpg's is to connect the player with the player character. If you're playing a female, that's not me.


So you're veteran military officers with training from hell in real life? Good to know.

You can't really have this hard a time understanding that it's hard for males to to connect to  a female protagonist? Do you really find it that hard to believe? Especially in ME when people basically try to play themselves if they were in shep's shoes.

Also a study done by pc mag I think could be wrong showed that like 90% players play maleshep.... i'm sure most players are male so I doubt it is "So many". now Skyrim on the other hand ever horney teen plays a chick LOL. I mostly play male in all games givin a choice mostly because i'm a guy.

Same reasons as Reign and shinobi. I am a male, so I pick male character, put myself in his shoes and mostly choose the options I would choose IRL... so to speak.

However when I try to play something radically different, like all out renegade, I choose femshep. The different gender disconnects me from the character, making "bad choices" easier to do. Its crazy, but it works.


This.

And maleshep / Garrus are ultimate bros.

I bet more males play female Shepard than females play male Shepard, I played both but I prefer the male Shepard/Garrus banter makes me laugh everytime.

I play as females in RP games a bit more than males. Frankly I enjoyed the Southern draw voice of the female shepherd in ME3


Southern Canada?
