It was never a problem for Catwoman!

But seriously that's just the way our culture is. In today's entertainment industry you get more criticism from the audience if women aren't portrayed as sexy. What would you do?

[stysiaq]

IDK, maybe for science.

Same could be said for many of the male characters, they have the typical over exaggerated masculine physique.

This is a humourous counterpoint to that argument. There's a lot of comments that follow the comic itself, enough that I haven't read more than a fraction of them. Needless to say it's a subject that can cause a lot of debate.

I assume just to clearly identify them, though tbf not all female kits are "sexed up".

In any case, would you really prefer it if the females were all butch/masculine instead?

Nothing wrong with a bit of (virtual) eye candy while playing

However did you make it through ME1 without nude tattooed women to distract you from the slog of the game?

ME1 armour was fine, and soldiers wear armour in combat zones, not catsuits. End of story.

 why do the asaris wear figure hugging leather dominatrix outfits to a fking firefight.

No idea why they tend to make ridiculous armours for females in general. Shoot and stab here parts are pretty ridiculous, Samara's armour is a fine example.

The armours in ME1 were indeed great.

I am pretty sure the asaris get chafed thighs running around FB Ghost Hazard in those form fitting leather suits.

Anyways, the designers did an atrocious job on some models both in SP and MP. Like the ridiculous ass cam in Miranda during me 2. Or EDI's ******. Does the core Me audience really need this kind of cheap thrills?

That is the point of the case though. There is not much in the line of butch/Masculine at all. If at all. (By the time you've hit me3 at least. Everyone got a make-over)
There is nothing wrong with eyecandy sure, so to though, there is nothing wrong with Butch females.
Which there are pretty much none of. (Especially in ME3 MP) 

Over time the view of the mass effect galaxy was cut out of the scope in favor of a view down some broads top.

Fair enough, I get what you're saying.

To add another point to my original post, I guess as the production values of video games approach the level of a Hollywood blockbuster, the characters are cast/portrayed similarly i.e. smokin' hot female leads, buff blokes etc

I'm on PS3 so I never played it, I did watch a playthough of it though. [Yes, I know it's out now but I saw/hear the mechanics are worse than ME2, so I'll pass.]

***mild ME2 spoiler***

Unless I'm mistaken "nude tattooed women" is a reference to Jack (aka Subject Zero)? That would be ME2, which I did play and to be honest I rarely selected her for missions, so to answer your question, I made it though fine.

***end of spoiler***

I'm not arguing for or against the outfits in ME3, if you've got beef, write an email/letter to the devs. 

I'm concerned that I have to say this but I don't pick characters (SP and MP) based on what they're wearing, I'm merely saying I don't care if they happen to take a few pointers from Jessica Rabbit because it's just a game.

That's not true, she's using what she likes and saying it's fact. There's a vast difference from male power fantasy (see Rambo or anything Arnold is in) and a male being sexualised. Just because they don't look like an anime character doesn't mean the male isn't being sexualised.

[Ser Pounce A Lot_]

What's wrong with a little eye candy? I happened to like the catsuits and the cleavage in ME2/ME3. (sans EDI probably, that was a bit overboard)

I don't think that's overly objectifying, I mean compared to games like MMORPGs and most fighting games.

Am I supposed to feel guilty for staring at Miranda's ass or checking out Samara cleavage?

I mean I enjoy it, that's what you play games for right? For fun, enjoyment, and escape.

TBH I think if there were a bit more "fan service" for females we would hear a lot less complaints,.

I am female and I DESPISE high heels.

However, my husband is actually about 2-3 inches shorter than me and is self-conscious about that (frankly, I couldn't care less about his height), so he is fully supportive of my anti-high heel status. I got married in flats and was mighty happy with that arrangement.

Then again, I am also a fairly hardcore tomboy, so lots of things that are considered traditionally "feminine" and "girly" make me roll my eyes, so I might not be the best litmus test.

Though understandable, it's a shame the reasonable girls are always gone first.



Al Pacino has the answer to OPs question, by the way

You're likely correct. After all, I haven't heard too many complaints about half-naked hospital Kaidan or the Alistair sexy times love scene in DA:O.

Although, admittedly, I do LMAO every time there's an extreme Miranda butt close-up all up in my grill. But it's one of those "so f-ing ridiculous, it's funny" sort of deals for me. I am fine having it in there because, in exchange, I get my super-cool (and hot) dancing scene with my romanced Garrus.

I know am I. Wouldn't you liked to have seen more shots of Jacob shirtless (probably doing pushups) in ME2? More provocative shots of Thane? More shots of shirtless Vega in ME3 doing pull ups?

And I know you would've loved scenes of Fenris bear in DA2. 

See, I'm all about equality when it comes to these things.

That was pretty good. 
But I like this better

Very interesting counter points. Both make some great points, but I still feel Men and Women are both objectified in media. Women more so then Men, but media creates impossible icons for men and women to live up to.

As video games go with objectifying women, Mass Effect does a pretty good job at keeping it restrained. Yes the women skinny, and wearing tight clothing. But the women in Mass Effect are not DOA Beach Volleyball sex objects. The woman in Mass Effect are true characters, in every sense of the word.

I like sexed up women. And pie.

However...

In my Shep's case she had zero straight love interests. Garrus wasn't option because she had none in earlier games and Kaidan died in first. I was saving her for someone in ME3 but that plan didn't quite work...

The Citadel DLC changed that though but it's still a DLC.

Do those exist? (Honest question.) I've never seen the lore for Batarian genders. If they have them, if they are Asexual, etc.

They are the male asari.

[OniGanon]

Screwing over female protagonist romance options is pretty much a longstanding BioWare tradition.

I mean, did anyone like Anomen? Anyone at all?
