I'm very skeptical of the females who post youtube videos of themselves talking about gaming. They're not very intelligent - or, they're dying for attention. Or, they have security detail patrolling around their house day and night.

Just open yourself to this forum and you'll find that the large portion of the female ME gamers are smart enough not to reveal who they are. Thank goodness for privacy settings, I say.

Just because you don't know people IRL who play Mass Effect doesn't give you the right to meet "cute girls" who play the game.

My girlfriend adores Mass Effect, and isn't half bad at multiplayer.

[DukeOfNukes]

I know a large number of Mass Effect fans..both male and female. Most hate the ending...one couldn't get past Sur'kesh. It's unanimous with everyone I've asked that the first ME was the best.

LOL, I love my fiance. She's not a gamer, but she's a PhD candidate, a real life Liara, and sexy like Miranda, except without such overinflated fake b00bs.

At least you don't compare her looks to Liara 

But back on topic, I don't understand why you should mention your fiance after reading my post. Have I said anything wrong?

Ok, I haven't even met anyone in RL that even plays mass effect, outside of the cashier who likes to talk to himself at the GameStop store. So, after perusing YouTube videos regarding ME, I encountered several quite cute gamer girls talking about Mass Effect, whether regarding the ending or whatever. Now, in my job, I know many gamers, yet no one really plays Mass Effect. Many play MMOs, but Mass Effect? My question for you is, do you guys know many people that enjoy Mass Effect? What do you guys do? What kinds of backgrounds/jobs do you guys come from. It truly boggles my mind. I feel Mass Effect is like a world created just for me, honestly since I feel isolated from any other players.

Cute girls also like Twlight and god awful pop music,

The implication that I want to meet these girls. I just find this parallel universe that as far as I'm concerned doesn't exist quite perplexing. Like I said, I sometimes feel like ME was made for only me, because IRL I haven't met many people that have even heard of the game, and most of the people I know play video games of some sort.

I know what you mean, then. I apologise for assuming that you were a lonely virgin when you were just asking a sociologic question.

There's a friend at work who has played Mass Effect, although we're both the "nerds" of the office and I can't imagine someone less nerdy to ever have heard of ME.

And then there is the internet. The ambiguous thing about it is how everyone is so forward about their personal experience with ME. Suddenly, it's not your Shepard anymore, it's one Shepard among many, many others. Some Shepards happen to be played by cute girls who are just nerdy enough to be passionate about a video game like Mass Effect.

We all live in our own universe, and the beauty of it is when we decide to share it with others. Or not.

Really. For me what's weird about meeting other ME fans is seeing other Shepards. I don't mind a female Shepard, but for me, my male Shepard will always be Sheploo. His voice just simply doesn't match any other face.

[Reaperpoo]

I only know me and my sister and a male friend, and my sister says it has 'too much talking', despite the ending I still absolutely love Mass Effect and all the novels etc.

[Spiritwolf1]

I have one friend at work who plays and another who wont play anythingt hat doesnt have WoW attached to it.

I am a female gamer, married to a male gamer (Who wont play Mass Effect cause he calls it Soap Opera) and my child is into games (Mindcraft)

[Reaperpoo]

Yeah to be honest, is it really that unusual to people that girls play videogames and that some of these girls may be attractive? Why's that so weird?

We're deriving a little bit from your initial post but since I'm one of those who play a "custom" male Shepards you might be interested in my position.

While I respect the default face it just hasn't grown on me. People saying "the only good male Shepard is Sheploo" kind of rubs me the wrong way even though I'm completely aware that every Shepard is someone's Shepard. It's just that, having a non-default face makes it less convenient for me to identify with other ME players. I use him as my avatar picture in a passive-aggressive way to remind people that there is no norm... =P That tells more about my personality than anything else.

For the female players, it has to be different. There is no widely accepted default femShep (there is one, but you don't see it used as often as Sheploo) so it's basically a wide variety of custom LadySheps with more or less similar features. They don't even ask themselves the question "Is my Shepard the canon Shepard?" because a LadyShep is special, "non-default" to begin with. The amount of work that some players put into their Shepard makes it even more special to them.

So do I claim the right to say that my custom broShep is more special than those who use Sheploo? Perhaps, but that's just all part of the subjectiveness of single-player. The faces shouldn't matter at all in the collective aspect of how we experience the story.

I study computer science so there's a hell lot of people who plays ME. But out of 200 people the girls must be, like, ten. And I'm the only one to play it. They do play other stuff, they're just not into ME.

Attractive people can be nerds, you know. It just takes a decent amount of social awkwardness, intelligence and misanthropy.

It's a stereotype, which a lot of people still blindly believe in.

[RShara]

My husband and I both play Mass Effect, as well as 1 RL friend and half a dozen co-workers

[Metalrocks]

i have also seen some vids of some very pretty girls talking about the game. i have a friend who played it occasionally but i dont know anyone besides people at the game store who played it, including females.

wish my wife would playing games, but she cant even play LIMBO (PC) properly. seriously, she plays it with 2 hands and still sucks at it.

[Heather Cline]

I work as a graphic designer, I play rpg's like mass effect and I know plenty of girls who play the games and there is at least one or two female employees at gamestop where I live who play the game.

[Naughty Bear]

I have never actually personally known a girl who plays video games.

I have an entire harem of women who play mass effect before they go about making money in the streets.

Some like the ending, many don't --- but I noticed an increase in revenue concerning this because they couldn't replay ME3 like they did ME2 so thus they decided to work their aggressions out.

Thank you BioWare and EA for a better revenue return!

LOL
