You are DEAD WRONG. People aren't "hating" on other people for wanting female characters, for instance, you. We are "hating" on you for spamming the forums with the same vile crap, over and over again. Your waving pink flag means nothing to the devs. They know what they're going to release next, so you spamming these threads is a little pointless, don't you think?

Erm, not really!
If a whole pile of garbage spammers into the main forum can cause BW to create an extended DLC ending for the SP, then why can't similar campaigns persuade BW to change MP ? There's nothing wrong with threads like this, unless they're taken over by trolls just making easy chauvinistic jokes.
I too would like to see more female characters in MP (and I'm a guy - for the record!), One of the things which sets ME apart from many other games is the large number of female players. And long may it be so. And I actually enjoy playing many of the female characters, especially the AV and the Shadow. <3

For your imformation, this is found on another thread discussing female turians, which are possibly becoming the new characters in a future MP DLC

But
hahahah, I hope they don't make female turians look like another

From this thread.
The body I could see as Turian. But the face? That red dot where the mouth should be really concerns me, if she's a Turian.

I wouldn't mind more female characters, to be honest.
As to those who joke or disagree...I'm not sure why you hold such a stance, surely you'd LOVE more content?
Now I'm one of those who can play as a female or male character without it breaking my immersion in the least. But some people aren't like that, they want to play their gender, and while that's fine and dandy for us men, the women are having their options limited in that respect due to a prevalence of male characters being released.
Which is frankly unnecessary.
So lets, as Jim Sterling says, end the sausage-fest.

I would like to see some female turian characters, just for continuity's sake. In the Mass Effect games they claim that all turians serve in the military. In Mass Effect 2 Garrus regails you w/ a story of his "sparring match" w/ a female turian before a battle. "I had reach but she had flexability." That we haven't even seen a female turian yet is just bizarre, too the point that I've started questioning if Turians even have sexual dimorphism. For those not familiar w/ this term, sexual dimorphism refers to the external, appearance related differences between the sexs.
I can understand why we haven't seen any females of the other alien races (aside from quarians, which we have seen). Krogan, Salarian, and Drell females are likely too rare and valuable to their respective races to be sent into battle. Female Batarians were treated only slightly better than their slaves in the Hegemony and the few that made it out alive wouldn't have any combat training. The closest Earth analog to Vorcha are earthworms, which are hermaphrodidic, so Vorcha might be as well. Volus are sealed up in their goofy suits and use voice modulators, so who knows what they are. Hanar refer to themselves as "It" so they probably don't have a gender. And it wouldn't surprise me if Elcor lack sexual dimorphism, just like so many other things (vocal tones, mouths, personalities, etc.). Actually, Elcor classes would be great, but since they might not be female, per say, I won't go into detail here, except to say that I think the mechanics, while a little strange compared to most characters, would still be totally feasable.
But what I really want to see is another Asari adept! I know, not another one, right?! Well this time, I'ld like to see one that doesn't suck! Which, in my opinion, all the current Asari do. I would play any other vanguard before I would play the Asari vanguard, and I've played them all so I'm not completely in the dark here. And in my experience, none of the adepts are particularly good. Whenever I see someone dominate a match, they're never playing an adept (I'm talking about your average to good player here, not your "crazy, mad skills, I solo platinum" player). The best adepts, the Phoenix Adept and the N7 Fury, again in my opinion, are only mediocore in the grand sceme of things. Now I realize that adepts as a class are geared towards a support role, but Asari should be an exception. I've spent 3 games w/ tons of replays listening to how the Asari are biotic badasses and then when I finally get to play one, they fail to deliver the goods. "Have you ever faced a squad of Asari commandos?" My answer is "Yes. And they really weren't that impressive!"
So, what I would like, seeing as all sentient life in the galaxy is at stake, is for the Asari Matriarchs to get up off their retiree asses and chip in! Just because you're 1,000 years old doesn't mean you get to sit there and do nothing when the universe needs saving! I want to see the all powerful biotic badassery that I've been hearing about for the past six years!
To that end I would suggest an Asari Matriarch Adept that IS capable of dominating a match. I would expect that this character would be an Ultra-Rare. They could put her in commando leathers remeniscent of Matriarch Beneziah's outfit in the first Mass Effect, minus the gown and goofy headdress. As for the stats, maybe 500/ 1000 (or even 1,500) Health/ Barriers, increasable to 825/ 1650 (or even 1975). This doesn't seem too absurd to me considuring that the Krogan Battlemaster can reach 1650/ 1650.
Give her the same heavy melee attack as the other Asari, except give it a larger AOE, remove the barrier cost, increase the damage, reduce the start up time, and remove the cooldown. In short, bring it more in line w/ the Phoenix Adept and Vanguard's heavy melee attacks. Or alternately, keep the cooldown, but make it so that anything that survives the attack gets thrown away from the Matriarch. Give her a dodge ability similar to how the banshees move, part biotic slide, part teleport. This would still cost some amount of barriers, as even banshees can't teleport indefinately, though sometimes it seems like they can. Also, on the subject of banshees, I would make the Matriarch immune to their instant kill attack, on the grounds that, unlike all the other classes, the Matriarchs biotics are strong enough for her to resist being suspended in the air by the banshee, preventing the banshee from being able to initiate the instant kill attack. When a banshee tries an instant kill on a Matriarch, instead of being killed, all of the Matriarch's barriers would be depleted and her powers set to cooldown due to the effort involved in resisting the attack. This immunity would not extend to any of the other enemies that can perform an instant kill attack because the banshee is the only enemy that actually uses biotics in the attack (both Preatorians and Phantoms have an instant kill attack and biotics, but they don't actually use their biotics in their instant kill attacks).
For powers, I'm thinking some sort of Mass Warp effect, kind of like Dark Channel, except it immediately jumps to other nearby enemies, thus effecting multiple targets, instead of jumping from one enemy to another when they die. Next would be a Biotic Wave that would fire in a roughly 90 degree frontal arch, hitting all enemies in the AOE. Any surviving enemies would be thrown backwards. I acknowledge this might be a little over powered. The main goal here is a biotic attack that can hit multiple targets effected by a Mass Warp effect and set off a series of biotic explosions. For the last power I had two possible ideas. The first would basicly be the reverse of Annihilation Field, a sort of Healing Field, that would restore shields/ barriers and health to all allies w/ in a certain radious of the Matriarch. At it's highest level it could even automaticly revive downed, but not dead, allies just by being w/ in the AOE. And if another player was also actively reviving the downed player, then the meter would fill twice as fast.. The other idea was to bring back one of my personal favorites from Mass Effect 2, Dominate. For those not familiar w/ this power, it functioned exactly like Sabotage, except it effected organics instead of synthetics. And I would have it do the same here, right down to most of the nuances of Sabotage in Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer. The one exception would be removing the explosion option when the target dies, because that just doesn't make sense for organics.
So there's something for you to think about. And if anyone with some influence in Bioware has actually read all this then I say to you "Make it happen."

This guy I quoted BLASTED someone who -wasn't- me with some trolling for something -I- did if you paid attention.
I was not the origin of this thread!
The OP is innocent of what I did AFAIK so the remark was utterly uncalled for, and directed at me ontop of that.
If it means anything, I'm sorry for going off on a tirade.
That said, if you, and others can't understand, and/or care why I am mad, then that's not on me, and frankly I'm not really caring. It doesn't change that I am upset over the choices bioware made.
Further, there's the simple fact that if we don't talk about it, bioware doesn't know we want it. Honestly, it certainly feels this way since the DLC swung way away from female content.
And to your last point, talking about it is never pointless so long as we do it in a constructive manner which is more than I can say for several posters in this thread.
And lastly, I'm not exactly bumping every last thread I made on the topic to keep them on page one day after day. I actually let them go, and if I ever -did- bump one of my old threads, it would've just been -1- because this is an important topic worth discussing.
Wanting female characters is -not- trivial. Calling it trivial may as well be hating on it. Especially if you go out of your way to say so.

I understand and I know you did not made this thread. I actually thought of you when I read the whole thing(really). I don't view the actual discussion as trivial. What I view as trivial is the over thinking of it. Your actual desire for more female characters, like..what does it really matter to you if there are more or less female characters in the game? I won't lie, I'd like to see an Asari commando with that fan-made Asari Sniper Rifle and some cool moves, but it looks to me that that's not what you want; You just want more female characters. But, please proof me wrong and shove me out of my ignorance and tell me why you're mad.
Of course it would be weird to release a Vorcha Infiltrator and feature him with the Asari Sniper Rifle..
PS: You're right though. Some people are here just for the sandwich jokes.

Anyhow, I would like to see a FQS. I couldn't care less about Turians or Krogans. I really like the female Quarians. Their accents are freakin stellar. Also, to the end of the sausage fest comment; I'd not be happy. I like sausage.

You know, I just realized I've posted three times in this thread, but I haven't actually said anything serious. That's not unusual for me, but I'd like to break the trend for just a second.
The reason Bioware shouldn't ever concern themselves with adding specific genders is because gender, if you're doing it right, has no effect on gameplay. That's not right. DLC should have an effect on gameplay. Affect? Effect? Whatever, not sure which one to use here. Anyway, for every minute a Bioware dev spends rendering Asari or Quarian or (god forbid) Turian females, they should be creating entirely new powers and gameplay mechanics. The Volus aren't cool because "oh hey, now I can finally realize my dream of being a rolly-polly huckster!" they're cool because they added pure support classes finally. That's valuable. I want to play that.
I don't care what genitals the characters have, and definitely not to satisfy some trivial "gender ratio" BS. I want patches, good balance changes and interesting DLC, Bioware shouldn't feel pressured to take time away from those things just because of a very, very vocal minority. I would wager most girls don't even care about this. I don't know why anyone would care about the visual model of a character over what they offer to the game itself. When I play the Paladin, I feel the same way as when I play the Fury. It makes no difference. If anything the guys in the art department should decide.
I feel like this whole issue is created by individuals who feel the need to project fragile sociopolitical views into mainstream media as a form of validation. It's a video game. The game is the important part. If there's a time-crunch and Bioware only has time to either add a new power or make a new female model, they should always go with the former.

When I play the Paladin, I feel the same way as when I play the Fury. It makes no difference. If anything the guys in the art department should decide.
I feel like this whole issue is created by individuals who feel the need to project fragile sociopolitical views into mainstream media as a form of validation. It's a video game. The game is the important part. If there's a time-crunch and Bioware only has time to either add a new power or make a new female model, they should always go with the former.

You know, I just realized I've posted three times in this thread, but I haven't actually said anything serious. That's not unusual for me, but I'd like to break the trend for just a second.
The reason Bioware shouldn't ever concern themselves with adding specific genders is because gender, if you're doing it right, has no effect on gameplay. That's not right. DLC should have an effect on gameplay. Affect? Effect? Whatever, not sure which one to use here. Anyway, for every minute a Bioware dev spends rendering Asari or Quarian or (god forbid) Turian females, they should be creating entirely new powers and gameplay mechanics. The Volus aren't cool because "oh hey, now I can finally realize my dream of being a rolly-polly huckster!" they're cool because they added pure support classes finally. That's valuable. I want to play that.
I don't care what genitals the characters have, and definitely not to satisfy some trivial "gender ratio" BS. I want patches, good balance changes and interesting DLC, Bioware shouldn't feel pressured to take time away from those things just because of a very, very vocal minority. I would wager most girls don't even care about this. I don't know why anyone would care about the visual model of a character over what they offer to the game itself.

Read and learn. This person speaks the truth most of us feel and have echoed in this thread.
The complaint of having too little females (or males) isn't exactly necessary right now , most people don't care if there's more females added or less. It doesn't make a difference or truly matter. We just want BW's attention focused on aspects which are worth focusing on and a proper priority. Ones which affect the WHOLE playerbase and game as a whole, not a minority.
On a side note, can't believe this topic is still alive.

So... you agree with me? That's the tone I'm getting from your post, but "Read and learn" makes it sound like we disagree at some point.Dest1ny wrote...

Aye, yeah I strongly agree with you. I added an edit just a few mins ago to make that more clear as even I thought 'hmm I think he's gonna assume I might be agreeing with him, or not and instead I'm just 'lecturing' as to how he's wrong' lol.
