Can someone sum this thread up for me? I don't want to read 12 pages.

I hope it involves some sort of sexism though.

Allow me.

Women lack several playstyles in the game. A lot of them are still glass cannons.

We want that remedied.

It's been the concensus of most that they could be covered with:
A Female Turian. Preferably a soldier. Fairly well defended, potent weapons master likely with marksman.
A Female Krogan. Heavy duty juggernaught of rough, and tumble proportions. Preferrably a vanguard for that extra bit of nigh invulnerability.

Further, more than a few of us are irked that there's only -2- women in the entire gigantic huge DLC. Why? I have no idea what bioware was thinking. Sexism? You make the call.

And more for the potential sexism? Only -1- quarian, a male, as a soldier with marksman. Could there have been a female version added? Yes. was there? No. Why?
Draw your own conclusions on that.

On a side note, FQM? Would've likely been that female weapons master we're kinda lacking, and -finally- FINALLY a new female soldier?

And on another side note, it seems like only the guys got any real attention out of te DLC. Female characters largely get nothing new. Probably even in the old asari leathers on top of that.

I think that about sums it up.

No.

Tell us again, how angry that makes you.

Nah, I won't soapbox, rant, and tirade.

Ya know what? I take it back. I am going to vent.

Also, thanks for being a jerk about it.

It's just not healthy to hold it in, and I don't see the harm. It's not like people at bioware will read, or care about it. The only reason they would is if it got reported, and I swore up a storm, and broke several rules.

This thread will no doubt be on page 5 by tomorrow.

I could sum up my rant into 1 crass 2 word phrase that could get me banhammered, but I won't.

To those people who don't care, or wanna troll? Lets just get it out of the way, and say I don't care. You'll be lucky if I did more than skim your post.

To those small minded people that don't grasp the importance of being a female to me in a game, I tell ya what? Why don't you post when you've spent several decades with the majority of game protagonists FEMALE ONLY until the point you're sick of it. Having to scrape, and scrounge the console game market for a shooter where you can be your gender? Nevermind digging, and researching for a decent game where you don't have to be the other gender?

I'm goddamned disgusted at Bioware. Look how mass Effect 3 MP started! Genders were balanced, and they cared to keep it that way! There was a good amount of gender in every class. Hell, I was surprised to see a female soldier! God knows that those are onoxiously rare in the world of gaming!

Now? Thank you, Bioware for falling into the typical routine of other developers. Adding male character after male character.  Overlooking potential for more female soldiers. It's a small miracle you gave enough of a **** to make a female Sentinel.

2 Asari added at some unknown date? BIG DEAL! THERE'S 14 GUYS!! Way to tokenize the Asari!
Two is not enough! And I wager they're using recycled powers, appearances, and voices, too!
They'll no doubt under perform compared to the majority of the characters. Lack luster, and overlooked for a reason.

Thanks a -lot- for killing the spirit of mass effect where it didn't matter what your gender was. Men, and women could be soldiers, or infiltrators, or what have you, and one wasn't superior than the other.
It figures. I knew it'd come down to it. I got some false security out of Earth Pack, though not enough to absolve my distrust, thankfully.
In honestly I shouldn't have had any new faith in the company. Honestly, I shouldn't ever have faith in Bioware again. It's just going to get the rug pulled out from under it in the next DLC.

PROVE ME WRONG! I DARE YOU! PROVE IT! I triple dog dare you. <.<

But I really doubt you will. I don't care anymore. Unless the Asari are excruciatingly awesome, or to my surprise there's more women than those 2, I think I'll just stop playing, full stop.

You're snuffing out why I LOVED Mass Effect. You're breaking this gamer's heart.

If I wanted to play as a guy I'd play pretty much the any of the rest of the shooters to come out.
But the crazy as hell thing is, I DON'T WANT TO.

Don't you understand you had a niche in the gaming community covered in having playable women in a shooter? Of course not!  You might've pretended to give a damn in the beginning, but it's obvious I shouldn't have had faith in you lot.

So, what BS excuses do you have? Time? Money? Work? target audience? C'mon, give me the typical crap developers shovel out! WAY TO SELL OUT!

People wonder why I'm so cynical, bitter, and jaded towards the gaming world? Really? <.<

I have a novel idea, Bioware! Why don't you just go ahead and put the nail in the coffin of the series and just not add any more women to MP at all? Why are you bothering?
How much of that artistic integrity has MP lost? 

I KNOW! BEST IDEA EVAR!!! Cut women out of single player in ME4, too! Male Shep all the way! hurray! I KNOW! Let the new male shep be assorted alien species! ALL MALE!! Who cares about character creation for women? Mirror all the other game companies!

You may as well replace the Asari with Phoenix models, or I dunno, male Quarians. Ya know, the male quarians the HYPOCRATICAL BSN board clammored for, yet when people want female versions of alien species get snubbed?
Go ahead. pour more salt into the wounds! Cater to the mysogynistic boys out there! Hurray!

Why give us hope in seeing innovative female characters (ya know, adding more women in general at regular intervals? Not like anyone else has the balls to!) only to just show we shouldn't have any?

I'm done trying to defend Bioware until they give me a reason to defend them.

Speaking of rubbing salt into the wound, thanks a lot for giving SOOOO much to the weapon classes, and not a damn thing to the casters, apparently. Thank you, ever so much, for snubbing adding meaningful things to the vast majority of female characters in the game. I'd pretend I was surprised but after seeing the latest additions, it's just token offerings, and bones thrown.

I was honestly considering buying the Trilogy pack! I WAS REALLY WANTING IT! After migrating from 360 to PS3 with my mass effect I was kinda missing having the ME1 decisions in my story!

Right now, forget it. I don't care anymore. I thought I'd spend a few more dollars on the store, too! To hell with that!

If you're just going to fall into the habit of alienating me, and like minded individuals, you can go join the rest of the game companies I don't care about anymore.

i agree with some of you point. there is a slight shortage of female characters in gaming (playable are the ones in very short supply) as for your rant on the ME3 mp?

honestly there are alot of female characters, alot more then i expected. (im a guy by the way; honestly though i dont get the whole gender preference in gaming. it doesn't matter if my character is a guy or girl. so long as they kick a**, they look good while doing so, and are a well rounded character that has a good story and back ground)

also as well i think you should can you feminist fueled rant; all your truly doing is degrading yourself, and your gender by complaining like a child <_< (sorry, im not trying to bee rude just being honest.) that and your just inviting the trollers and flamers to have a field day with you, so you should just stop/ if nothing else to save yourself from further aggravation.
