Stats are probably from casual gamers. indication: choice of soldier. probably didnt even use any of the skills just bashed the mission using a gun.

no surprise liara most popular surprised about garrus though

there should have been a question: did you buy mass effect because of liara sex scene?

These stats have to be horribly skewed, because they don't take into account all the "play and return" people. These people would have just started with 3, played through as default broShep without an import, and would thus get:

1) No chance to meet Wrex
2) Ashley by default
3) Any of the other romance options swept under the rug because you could only access ME1 options from ME3 alone

When you look at it in that context, these stats make sense. But if you talk to the fandom at large these stats are not representative at all. Heck, they polled half the people at the panel as femSheps.

Well the low 18% for femshep is not surprising. Not when I meet dudes, and a few women, who think that a woman should not do all the things Shepard does. A few dudes have even told me that they cannot handle a woman talking the way Shepard does, she should be just sexy and not talk, oh and make them a sandwich... In the end, true hero = male, in a lot of peoples minds. This ain't gonna change until people start to change their gendered views.

Pretty naive statement there. At the end of the day the fact is that the majority of gamers are guys and if the majority of those guys prefer to play as male shep it doesn't automatically mean they're sexist. :/

You have to remember that Mass Effect and a lot of games aren't only shipped in the USA though. A lot of countries still have this view overall ( Japan I am sure is one of them that still does, perhaps China too ).

As for me? Femshep all the way!!

[GoldenPersona]

Those stats sadden me. In my eyes FemShep IS Shepard. I'm also a guy.

Really, it makes me sad

[ThatDancingTurian]

Saying all those 64% were casual gamers who didn't play the other games isn't necessarily accurate. You need to discount everyone who had multiple playthroughs, some with Wrex dead just to see what happens.

Just like not every Soldier was a casual, but a large chunk of them are.

Well... that's kinda the point.

It would seem that the majority of people who played ME3 were "new" players to the series.  And why shouldn't that data count, anyway?  They ARE the fandom at large.

no she's not, and I'm glad he overwhelming majority of people agree wih me. Shame so few people got to meet wrex and honestly FU to the 3% that shot Mordin in the back

Interesting, so at most 39.8% of players found the game interesting enough to replay it. Probably significantly less, considering the long service achievement can be achieved by importing a character from ME2, which i would assume would be the case for a good chunk of the 39%. I would like to know how many people bothered to finish this game though, and if possible what percentage of people actually bothered to replay the game. Doubt they will release those statistics though.

[chemiclord]

Another interesting thing about those numbers that occurred to me just now is considering how LARGE of a percentage of players were apparently new to the game (roughly 60%).

It's hard to imagine that the entire fan base from previous games was retained yet have such a high number of new(ish) players. That suggests to me that there was a largely silent yet sizable group that was NOT particularly fond of how ME2 ended.

Just some food for thought.

I dunno how much you can draw from that; as the number of people who GOT said medal (roughly 40%) pretty much coincides with the number of people who apparently DIDN'T play the first two (somewhere in the vicinity of 60%).

If 39.8% of gamers actually replayed it, that number would be really high, considering the average percentage of gamers who finish their games period, which I remember being very low.  I'm sure you're right though, that a lot of the players earn the achievement through importanting an ME2 character.

...in the 4% who played on Insanity (xbox180, have achievement )

no ending stats?

[Kitsumichi]

Oh, too many soldiers, too much Liara, too many malesheps, too low Kaidan's popularity.... ok... more Kaidan for my Femshep then , now seriously:

On Kaidan and Ashley popularity count.

How in the galaxy were they counting?!
Kaidan is only available to something like 23 of missions ( at best, I don't have accurate numbers right now). Now how can his "popularity" be compared with Liara, James or Garrus?

In case someone did not understand what I'm saying:
We have James with us 10 out of 10 missions ( 100%), but we have Kaidan only 6 out of 10 missions total (60%) (but that's 100% of time he's avalible). Now which is supposed to be more popular?.. Why do I have a feeling that they might have forgotten to count percentage basing on _real_ in-game availability instead of total mission counter?...And that should same affect Ashley's numbers, and slightly - EDI's too ( because she needs some time to get her body).

I agree with you, these stats are not really representative at all, the most popularity characters are the same you get at the very first of the game, this is strange. Those stats seems like more from casual gamers that started in ME3, same with the 18% from Femsheps that are equal or similar to all Kaidan's percentage:huh:.

What sort of ending "stats" would you want?

A percentage of who chose which color wouldn't really do anything but spawn another surge of bickering over which ending was the "best."  I can see why they'd rather not go down that road.

Not sure what other stats you would have expected them to present.

While it's possible Bioware could have "cooked the books" in that way to present their "pet character" Liara in a good light, I suspect that the numbers only took into account the player actively selecting said character.

Kaidan's low % likely stems from the fact that Ashley is the "default" survivor for new players more than anything else.

I tend to agree with this.  Dead periods in this forum = people posting "X is the only ending or you're racist/terrible."

I'm glad I don't need an overwhelming majority to make my opinion make me feel better about myself.

I was merely curious which one was the official most popular ending


maybe someone's ego was too bruised to show that?

re: Wrex

Keep in mind that Wrex was dead as well if you didn't play ME1. So those "newcomers" are also people that could've played ME2.

re: Ashley vs Kaidan
There's no default choice in ME3 for these two...Players had to actively pick for kaidan to die...

re: class popularity
As others have mentioned, for ME3, soldier popularity actually went down compared to ME2 and I'm almost positive that soldier was just as popular in ME1 as it is in ME3
