Well... I only like Sheploo because it was the character my brother chose when he first played ME1. It was the first time I had seen Mass Effect in action - I was blown away by how much of a cinematic improvement it was over KotOR.

Ever since then, I chose Sheploo for nostalgic purposes.

No ******, he's a good looking guy.

Really, the male creation tools in this franchise are godawful, not to mention that Sheploo's face is higher rez than the customs.

The custom creator for males is seriously lacking in choices to make a decent looking Shepard. The selection of eyes and noses are all pretty terrible which makes it impossible to get a Shepard looking anything close to as good as Sheploo does, and I don't mean just a sexy standpoint I mean they don't look properly human, something is always off while Sheploo has a genuinely believable face that's very expressive and Meer's voice matches perfectly.

While I agree with you that it is hard to make a good Male Shepard because of the selection of eyes and noses, it certainely isn't impossible. Of the three Shepards I have made, two of them have actually turned out better than how I liked them in the Character Editor. And the third I still like although he wasn't what I expected. It just takes time to make a good one.
It's sad that ME3 character designs aren't on the level of a game like Saints Row where you can have almost complete customization of your characters build and face. I can also imagine making a horrifying disturbing Shepard would be even easier then

[djarlaks10]

I'm just bad at creating decent-looking characters, so I stick to default options. Also, I've seen Sheploo countless times in different promo videos, so for me that particulate face is associated with Shepard.

[Jadebaby]

I don't, but I could guess why some people do...

Maybe his lip-synching/character animation is better because he's the 'model' shepard.

He's a good looking guy

More likely than these two however, because once you f*** everything up at the end... well hey, at least it didn't look like you.

Sheploo looks fine.

They picked a fine model for the military-man look.

No ******.

[Kidd]

I've used it once, though only because wrestling the CC for BroShep is very daunting.

[Reign Tsumiraki]

Because try as I might, I can't made a better face then Sheploo.

[xOnYourRadar]

Primary reason why I use Sheploo is because he's hella attractive.

Second reason is that I simply can't see myself using another Shepard as I feel Sheploo IS Commander Shepard. I mean, his likeness is on the cover of all the games. A customized Shepard wouldn't feel authentic to me.

[s17tabris]

It's just a matter of preference. The default model looks good but I prefer a different look for my manshep.

I'm terrible with the character creator but I was able to find some codes from the faces database and just tweaked it a bit.

I find Meer's voice and Vanderloo's face to be a great match for a level of badass that works perfectly.

[Beeno4Life]

Because my original Shep face dun goofed.

[Inquisitor Recon]

I never used Sheploo, but after seeing some of the weird faces he makes, I can see why some do.

[Jamie9]

Because that face was obviously created for that Mark Meer's voice. They just seem to fit so perfectly. I've created custom Sheps but I use Sheploo for my canon.

[sistersafetypin]

I think some people simply don't care about that. I on the other hand, will dedicate as much time as needed to my character creation whenever a game allows it.

[DA2 being the one exception, I like canon fHawke]

This.

[NM_Che56]

I like using the dude on the cover. To me default = canon

[Edolix]

I use Sheploo because I just CANNOT make a good custom face for the life of me.

Seriously, my first one ended up looking like a Jewish fishmonger. Totally not my intention. My second one came out looking like William Hague, which was even worse. So I gave up.

[Inquisitor Recon]

Honestly, can any other face pull off this look?

[Heimdal]

Maybe some of my dislike for Sheploo stem from just the fact that Mark Vanderloo is a photomodel. I just can't look past that. I dont know about Mark but in every interview I ever heard, saw or read photomodels come across as the most moronic persons on the planet. They make the Jersey shore-crowd come across as geniuses. Usually I don't have a problem with these things, I can use my imagination and look past it. I mean if I can watch movies with Mel Gibson and see Riggs (for example) and not some wife beating racist I should be able to overlook this. But, no. Whenever I see Sheploo onscreen I just wait for him to interupt whoever is talking with:
"But why male models?" or tell about when he was rappeling down Mt Vesuvius

[Jonata]

Because I like Mark Vanderloo as a model.

No, really, I think he as a unique face for a male model, he looks kind of sad even when he's not actually acting (kind of like Sylvester Stallone, look at this if you don't believe me) and I always find him quite outside the stereotype, even if he can look like the classic buzzcut military hero at first sight. He's like the male Milla Jovovich: looking good, but in his own way. 

(disclaimer: I know Milla is a far better actor than Vanderloo, I was just talking about her/his looks).


He also fits in the role, and that's kind of what makes more difficult for me to create an appropriate femShep: I'm not very good with the editor and usually search for codes, but people tend to create FemSheps that looks too pretty and young for a war vet. 

EDIT: also, over the course of Mass Effect 2 I think the ability of Shepard to look and epic and then completely dumb the moment later is unmatch. He's the perfect comic relief sometimes and he doesn't even know it.

 I mean COME ON! Shepard is suppossed to be this bad-ass, supersmart Commander, not some dimwitted, dutch photomodel. If I am in need of some airhead to suck in his cheeks, prance around on the catwalk, give audience the "blue steel"-look (patented by Zoolander) and sell underwear, sure I'll give Mark Vanderloo a call. But if I want someone to save the galaxy? No...   just, no.

I totally agree with you OP. I can't stand Sheploo. My Shep looks a bit like a mix between the Doomguy and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Like the true badass he is supposed to be.

Imagine my rage when Bioware hijacked my creation in ME3 and made him cry like a little **** over a dead kid.

Why use FemShep?
