Because I don't play myself. Its quite easy. It's called having an imagination.

I use my imagination all the time. When I am in a game, in someone else's universe I try to give my imagination a break and just immerse myself in the experience being delivered to me.

I only have one male Shepard, and that was to experience the Ashley romance and some quest paths I hadn't tried before. My most enjoyable play-through was with my first straight female Shepard. I feel most connected with a customized character that is similar to me. Then I can live the story vicariously through them, rather than remaining emotionally distant, directing them like a deity.

If the character I control is very different from me I don't care as much about them, unless they are an already fleshed out character of someone else's creation. A fully-defined protagonist I can care about almost even more than my customized character if they are well designed.

How do you do it? I'm considering making a male Shep to see ME1/ME2 from the other perspective, but I just don't know if I can really adopt such a character... 

Hmmm I've never had this problem myself but you could start off by making someone you find attractive. Both phiscally and emotionally. Make someone you could see yourself being in a relationship with or maybe just being friends with. That should help you connect to the character.
Hope that helps

That's really good advice. Thanks!

anytime:)
