The female takes up slightly less of the screen and, IMO, has a slightly better voice. I just pick female each time, rather than making two different genders of the exact same class. That would be silly.

But I only play a human when picking my human sentinel, really.

Well if you want to play a Quarian/whatever then you have to play as female. Where's Reager damnit?!!

If Reegar survives ME2, you eventually get a note that he died on Palaven if you didn't kill the quarians off.

As for male quarians in general, this is all just wild guessing but maybe Bioware kinda wants to show that non-human species are still a minority in the N7 Special Forces by not including two of each. If there WERE male quarians in MP that would be pretty badass.

That and there's only so much space on the character select screen. Makes me wonder what the soldier line looks like with the BF3 soldier AND the batarian squeezed in there.

There are actually two different voices for the human males, too. I have NO IDEA how to select between them, or if they're tied to specific classes.

@sdrol117: We can agree to disagree, but you don't need to be so abrasive about it.

You decided to single me out for no reason besides our opinions differed, you deserve any snide remarks you get.

In your opinion.

 Alright that was a good one.

I wanted to try a Melee focused Infiltrator, the only one available was a female. Ispo Factum, Ergo, so.

You do understand the concept of a role playing game, right?  Some people, myself included, actually played ME for the RPG aspects, and find it uncomfortable role playing as a female.  Let's stop criticizing each others play styles and enjoy the game in our own ways. 

Uhhh... what?

That's one way of playing a role-playing game.  Personally I think of it in terms of "placing yourself in the role of someone else" rather than "putting myself in a role".  Perhaps I'm wrong, but you seem to be implying that a male playing as a female character isn't actually role-playing?  And that's simply wrong.

Personally I'm a female who always plays as the female characters in ME3's MP (when applicable), but that's only because you're forced to play a male in so many other games that it's a nice change.

You're confused.  I didn't call anyone's style of playing wrong.  That was you.  I simply pointed out the obvious fact people like to play themselves in RPGs.  Not all people.  Some.  Claiming they're wrong is rude and ignorant.  Which is what you ddid.

I have two different builds for my human infiltrators and human vanguards. So I end up playing as a human female 50% of the time I play a human of those classes.

I figured I'd either get a smile or some rage. Glad it was a smile.

In terms of the human female in MP I'm not even sure that's Hale anyway. I'm guessing it isn't, in order to reinforce that she is NOT Shepard.

So, OP, you dun wanna play Asari, huh? Dress one up all black and slap some neon-green pattern 2 stripes on her and you will know why she's VERY pleasant to play as a guy

Just make sure to look for enemies too...

I couldn't help but laugh. I was waiting for another "in your opinion" after that response of finding it funny XD Alright, alright, no more fighting. I like you. Funny people. 

And I would assume it's not hale, but I dont play as her often enough to know.

they have a smaller frame so you get a better view of the game and a females back side to boot!

@Sdrol117: If I said it AGAIN I'd just be running it into the ground.

I have no problems with either model, but one of the two Human Male voices grates on me a little bit. I find the other one AWESOME, so it balances out nicely.

They both have the 'That's it.' statement for end-of-wave, from one of them it sounds like an actual statement of fact, from the other it's intoned more like a question. The 'question' guy is the one I don't like.

[MstrJedi Kyle]

This might just be my mind playing tricks on me but the human females seem to present smaller targets. They seem to be able to dodge missles and such a little better than the males. Again this might just be me being crazy.

I didn't say your playstyle was wrong.  I said that claiming other ways of playing are not like playing an RPG was
wrong.  The first part of your post ("you do understand the concept of arole-playing game, right?") was in response to this:

Shadowsword8 wrote...

Your problem seem to be that you project your real life identify into your in-game representation. You shouldn't.

If you do that, of course you'll find weird to play a different gender. But it is as stupid as claiming that males who play males in MMOs must be gay because they prefer to stare at a male's butt than a female one.

Based on what you said in your reply in my original quote above, this implies that you don't consider this person's way of playing to be playing the game "like an RPG".  That is what I was referring to.  You can self-insert all day long, but don't say that other people who don't self-insert aren't engaging in role-play, which is what your post heavily implied.

I'm beginning to wonder, do you guys end up playing as Human Female characters in MP?

I can understand making a female Shep in SP, Hale does beat Meer by a considerable margin (Particularly in the first game!) but really, in MP?
Granted I am a bit conservative on the subject, playing as an Asari would make me feel like a cross-dresser of sorts, but really?  Playing a HUMAN femaie?

I can understand guys playing as an Asari or Quarian, they do have cool power sets... but it really wierds me out when someone's character shows up as "human female" and the voice talking is male.

Well, this is starting to look like a whiny post instead of an inquisitive one...

Restatement,
Do guys play as human females (and vice versa), if so why and generally with what frequency? 

Why do I?  For fun.

You want more info?  Sure.

I have two Humans per class, so I get to experiment with builds.  Almost every single one of my humans has a build different than the other gender.  I pick them based on what is needed in each match.  Also, I think the hitbox for females is smaller, especially with the soldier.  The damn Male Human is the size of a Krogan.

Also, I'd recommend you get over the 'crossdressing' thing.  If you were playing Tomb Raider, would you feel weird playing as Lara Croft?  It's all about suspending yourself and separating the character from you.  Sure, self-insert is a great way to play RPGs, but there's also playing as someone who isn't you.  It's how many people here manage to play many different Shepards.

But before I come off as confrontational, I'll just say that if you personally don't like playing as a female character, that's totally fine.  Don't do what you're uncomfortable with.  But saying that other people weird you out by playing as the other gender is a great way to be seen as closed-minded.  If it really bothers you, try to ignore it and keep on playing your male characters.  

[HolyAvenger]

I'm pretty sure hitbox is the same size, fwiw. Human female vanguard and soldier are huge too.

[nuculerman]

You shouldn't. Those are your words. Not mine. The concept of doing what you claimed you shouldn't should be familiar to anyone who understands the concept of an RPG and how many people play them (as better versions of themselves).

[GroverA125]

I'll be cold dead in the ground by the time I even consider using a female character.

Withs Humans you can have two builds.

And just as many people don't.  I've never made a self-insert in any RPG, because I prefer to create original characters and explore them.  And I understand the concept of a role-playing game just fine.  For example, you can't say that a diplomatic man is not role-playing because he's playing with a trigger-happy female character.  If that is not the point you're attempting to make, then we're simply having a communication issue.
