What really surprises me is that the numbers for Femshep (18%) are actually down from ME2 (20%), when you consider that Bioware did much more marketing for her with ME3.

It might be the lack of replays for ME3.  When I play I take my male Shepard through first and then my female Shepard.  If it wasn't for the EC, I won't have bothered with my Femaleshep.

It is amusing to watch supporters one way or the other spin the information provided as a support of their way of thinking though.

20 to 18 is pretty much the same value. I seriously doubt it was EXACTLY 20% and 18%..It could be 19.5 and 18.4 respectively

Regardless, there certainly wasn't a significant increase in Femshep players, despite the increase in marketing.

Interesting stats. I agree that they should explain the methodology behind it a bit more.

I am not surprised at the FemShep figure. Outside of BSN, most players I meet play BroShep. You can't really take BSN as indicative of the wider playerbase.

I wonder which LIs were the most popular too.

true . but  actually seeing  a world wide  poll  data collected independantly of actions  from  individuals games the fact
        Paragon beat Renegade   

 <3Ashley  beat  kaiden   ...Twice .... was satisying.. of course Kaiden supporter  will try to poke holes into it.

  And  just for the record .....

I like   Ashley's  "skill set"  better than  his I am a biotic so i don't need another one to start  as well.. I would  rather have a  sniper/ rifle. The.Alliance Officer class is just plain better Disruptor Ammo (squad share) inferno grenades.. etc ..  but that  comes down to personal  taste as well.

 Your right though op I not happy with Liara's win  in popularity   I could probably punch holes in that if i tried and could start by saying she had a unfair advantage being bio's favorite form the start ...

Oh, and for those saying "the real fans don't play as a Soldier blah blah"...yeah, I've played through the entire trilogy, including DLC. I could hold lore debates with anyone here. I could quote my favourite lines from the game.

My canon PT is BroShep, Soldier, Liara as LI. So please don't denigrate players' choices as being not one's "true fans" would make. You don't know that because the plural of anecdote is not data. The stats are data. What your friends did is not.

Nothing about the endings?

0,09% of players chose Synthesis.

fixed it
But I think they didn't show it because of what a failure it was

What failure would it show lol? If we look at "Geth-Quarian choice" statistics on BSN polls, the great majority picks peace. Great, but in overall playerbase, it's only 1/3. So frankly, I expect ending statistics to be similar.  Destory probably #1 with like 40%, then Control and Synthesis the last since it's not even abailable on low EMS. But it suely wouldn't be "70% Destroy" like on BSN polls.

Who didn't chose peace between geth &  quarian more ems
Synthesis did not make any sense to a lot of people it was added at the last minute hell the catalyst didnt make any sense the destroy is bigger than synthesis & control combined but has now suffered because of the mehem mod.
The player was now to confused about the plot

Fun fact btw, a teacher in a university who teaches about writing in
videos games used ME3 as an example of how NOT to do a video game. What
they did with the Catalyst goes even against the teachings of Plato!

Those survival stats make no sense to me. I wouldn't know how to kill Vega and Liara if I tried. I understand the low EMS beam run, but that doesn't jive with the galactic readiness stat at all. (It would be impossible to get a low ems run with a 100% galactic readiness.) I wonder if they take into acount the "refuse" ending?

[HolyAvenger]

Choosing peace between geth and quarians is quite difficult if you don't have a pretty perfect playthrough.

[Deathsaurer]

Why are so many people shocked by the number of Soldier players? In ME1 and 2 it was genuinely one of the best classes and incredibly straight forward. In ME3 it is rather mediocre without the DLC guns, I'll give you that. But Immunity and Adrenaline Rush (ME2 version) were amazing powers. The ability to run around an entire mission with such a massive damage reduction and the hilarious damage spike were amazing.

[kleindropper]

I'm guessing the stats are skewed by the CoD types who put the disc in to start shooting stuff (default everything.) I'd like to see the breakdown for the "long service" people (or imports) only. As for the Femshep/Broshep, I have 3 of each, so I'm guessing people like me cancel ourselves out?

[DaveT]

Only 5% play engineers? Wow, I found that class to be "easy mode".

[Aaleel]

Well it seems a lot of people started their Mass Effect journey in ME3. I doubt that many people killed Wrex on Virmire, so that leaves default Shepard games in ME3.

Also how do these stats account for the people who have upload game data turned off in their options.

Wrex is only there if you imported saves from earlier games. 

I know this is from like, yesterday, but I have to ask. What kind of IDIOTIC person picks up a triology... on the last game? That's like picking up the Harry Potter series on the last book. WHO DOES THAT!?

I mean, PS3 players, had an excuse, they never got a port. But STILL , you can get it in a bargain bin for like $5, or on Steam for $5 during sales.

The survival rate makes no sense. If Liara dies 46% of the time, which she can only do at the beam run, doesn't that mean the player doesn't have enough EMS to choose anything but Destroy? EDI dies in every version of Destroy. If Liara dies 46% of the time, and EDI dies only 56% of the time, that means roughly one out of every five players with high EMS picked the Destroy ending. I sincerely doubt that to be the case. Only one in five players with high EMS chose Destroy? The numbers don't make sense.

Correction: if you kept the Collector Base in ME2, low EMS gets you Control, not Destroy. And in that situation EDI must live, since her platform is dispensable.

Maybe ME MP is being played like other games' MP. First you play the SP, then you play the MP. So by the time you get 100% you aren't playing SP anymore.

Well, the obvious hole is that of all BroSheps - a large majority of playthroughs - only players who started with ME1 would have even a chance of meeting Kaidan.

A lot of people apparently, I guess that's also the reason why there's such a high percentage of soldier-class players. They don't import but just pick the standard stuff and get going asap. 

[Reever]

They're talking about "players", but how do they take in account different profiles?

[AlanC9]

Can you even have multiple ME3 profiles? Never saw any reason to try, myself.

18% played femshep, 82% played manshep.
Renegade Sheps account for about 38% of Shepards.

3.8% shot Mordin - not 38% my bad
64% did not meet Wrex??
44% played Soldier??

I'm curious about the methodology, some numbers seem weird to me - not to mention Kaidan dies the most

I found most of those stats to be in line with my expectations but I am genuinely surprised by some:

More people chose to side with the Geth than the Quarians or achieve peace. I did not see that coming at all, it also makes me wonder how many ME3 players really did pick Destroy over Control and Synthesis. Why kill off the Quarians if you are just going to kill off the Geth at the end of the game. That just seems like a wasted choice to me.

The ratio of Paragon to Renegade players is alot closer than I thought it was. I remember reading somewhere that ME developers felt that most people just went with the paragon option.

As for the most popular squadmate stat, at first I was shocked by this since I hate Liara and I would like to think that most gamers would share my opinion on this matter however after thinking about it a while it does make some sense. I don't like Liara but I do find that I do pick her alot as a squadmate when I am playing as a 'Soldier' Shepard since I we do spend most of ME3 fighting Cerebus troops and the those guys with Shields ( I think they are called Guardians ) are very annoying to fight if you are playing a Shepard that does not have biotics that can dislodge shields or armour piercing ammo, Liara's Singularlity is super effective against them and has super short recharge time.

I don't quite get the survival rate stat but I will take evryones word for it that it has something to do with the beam charge.

[chemiclord]

I suspect since information is sent by your personal profile, that players=profiles in this case.

The Quarian stat does make some sense. If the rest of the stats play out, the its obvious that Bioware did succeed at bringing new players into the third installment. Even with the Geth VI, are new players going to like the Quarians over the Geth?  All they would see is the picture of the Geth simply trying to survive and being beat up by these agressive dicks who almost killed you in friendly fire and have apparentyly no real regard for the safetey of themselves or others.

The only two Quarians worth saving are Tali and Koris
