ooooh I'm part of the 4% I feel suddenly very snobbish and elitist. :D

I'm part of the 1.5%. That number depresses me.


Tell me about it. If it was different kind of industry, I think that Kaidan and similar content could be cut out as a waste of effort and resources. Here though, we get a chance to represent different preferences, express ourselves through different characters. So I'm happy he was there for my FShep since day one (and still good quality content).

I can't help but think maybe it's a good thing that Shepard's story ended with the Citadel DLC. I'd hate for Kaidan to get the Jacob/Thane treatment if they made another sequel. :crying:

I'd imagine lots of people (Around 65% based on the infograph) started with ME3 and with a default, male Shep. That's why the percentage difference will be so high/


Only 13% play as the default Shepard for ME2, and about 50% imported.


Yikes...didnt realize it was so bad...

BSN has always believed that "casual" gamers are simply jumping into ME2/ME3 just for the pew-pew, but if only 13% are using the default shepard, that means that even the casual gamers are NOT simply there for the pew-pew but LIKE customizing their sheaprd in some way....

pew pew aside, it would seem immersion has a plus as associated with interactivity. Bein IN the game is a good thing, in small doses if the ending things didn't mar the scores.

Hehe, indeed. I'm part of three lower-than-10% categories (really four, but one doesn't count because it's implied by another one):

(1) My main Shepard is an Engineer (5.1%)
(2) I shot Mordin (3.8%), which implies having sabotaged the genophage cure (8%)
(3) I completed Insanity with this Shepard (4%).

With those, I'm part of an 7.7 in 100000 minority. If there are 3 million ME3 players, there are 230 others like me.

Its videogames, its like the internet where women are rare and men act like children...

The days when supermodels are impressed with pc specs and completing dark souls is the day videogames make it, and not frowned upon by the stick thin lettuce eating hotties.

I guess that would be possible, but I am not sure of the reason why Thane and Coby were treated in this inexcusable way - so I have no clear opinion on this. With Kaidan and Ash it's easier to guess - looking at how many people on these forums were vocal with their "haet" and dislike of them.

default male shep scares me..

Honestly 18% doesn't sound that small to me. I would guess that at least half of the people that bought the game just play it "casually" (default MaleShep), if not more, which would put that 18% femshep number closer to 36 - 40% range as some have predicted.

I have no dudeshep because dudeshep is more boring than bran muffins. And he looks like one too.

Don't understand why they didn't go with a look alike of the voice actor. Seriously, someone needs to hatchet up that Sheploo face into anything more interesting.

The stat concerns me more from the point of that you want to see higher femshep if you expect to see so much attention paid to female characters in the future.

How does half of the playerbase playing Sheploo (have any numbers to back that up, btw?) make 18% of femShep players suddenly into 38%. Huh? I'm confused.

I was just referring to it from a non-casual / BSN-type perspective (meaning players that didn't really make a "choice" to be ManShep, they just went with the game's default settings)

Yeah I meant to write  just male but then looked at the graphic and for some reason assumed it was reffering to the default guy :pinched::pinched:

My point was more that we can sort of extrapolate the data and guesstimate that a considerable about of players picked up only ME3 having not played ME2.

I...don't think that's true... The two stats actually shows there would be a HIGHER numer of imports in ME3 when compared to ME2.

IUnless my math is totally off...if the same percentage of people did an import in ME3 as they did for ME2 (50%), the number of people that had an opportunity to meet Wrex should ONLY be 25% and not the 36% th einfographic states...

There's no data in the current infographic, but in ME2, afair, only a very small percentage (something like 15%) played as defaults. So, your estimate is highly unlikely.

You did not account for the people who made an import in which Wrex was dead.

True..but that would simply bump up the percentage of people that were doing an importwhen compared to doing a fresh run...when the inforgraphic was released a couple days ago, one stream of thought I saw on BSN was that it showed that there was a hgih percentage of new players picking up the game who had never played ME1 or ME2.

The ME2 players who didnt do an import would automaitcally meet Wreav and those new to ME in ME3 would also get Wreav which should translate to a much lower chance of meeting Wrex assuming that ME3's playerbase was also 50% new like ME2.

But it's not...there were a lot more imports all the way from ME1 than BSN thinks...

Who shoots Mordin? Jesus.

I'm mostly surprised to see Vega rank so highly. Also, why no info on the endings? Are they sad that everyone hated Synthesis?

Killed Mordin, didn't cure the genophage, played femShep as a Sentinel and finished it on Insanity.
I feel so uber snobbish right now.

I seriously wonder what the percentages of people who saved the quarians/geth would be if saving the quarians was the paragon option.

I have been wondering if part of the reason between the difference between Sheploo and Femshep is the animations, for Femshep's models just don't seem right, but the Sheploo ones do.  I wish they had these infographics for Dragon Age 2 and we could see more then just one game and the stastical breakdown for it.

I went back and was playing The Citadel for my Paragade Femshep and I noticed the weapons were floating beyond my character and some of the movements and positions are nearly identical to what Sheploo makes so it feels they never animated anything more then the Sheploo model and scaled it down for Femshep.

I know a lot of people who when they started ME1 just clicked "quick start male" without even looking at all the options. I imagine lots of new players did that too, especially since 3 was marketed to the meatheaded shooter fan boys.

Also great justification for auto-dialogue.

Why give people the choice over curing the genophage or shooting Mordin? Seems pointless working those decisions in given the stats - just hardcode the game to cure and not shoot. Divert the resources elsewhere....

One thing confuses me about the infograpic. Liara has a 54% survival rate. I was under the impression that the only way for her to die is if she's your companion in the endgame and you have low ems (flattened by a Mako). Does that mean that 46% of people who make it to the ending do so with low ems, and so 46% of people get either the low ems Destroy or low ems Control ending? Bizarre if true.

It's not clear from the infographic what the "survival rates" are. It could be gameplay combat deaths. Though if that's the case, then I find it strange that Kaidan would die so much more in combat compared to the others.
