I put one together, thought not as good as any 'official' one:

Apparently showing any Shepard aside from the default male version will cause waves of mass confusion to ripple throughout the fandom. This will result in people being driven mad as they attempt to process the mere idea that you aren't limited to their Renegade generic marketing smuck. Panic will grip the nation, and in the wake of all this a legion of rabid dire bunnies will sweep through the streets and enslave us all...



.... Just ignore me, I'm tired...



Hilariously enough though, despite those kinds of claims I've actually seen people getting confused by the LACK of Femshep appearances in the media for the game.

i will not ignore you, because it is an excellent parody of the marketing teams flawed logic. they seem think no other game has ever had customizable main characters; i mean as far as trailers and tv spots are concerned its fine, but its not like DAO ever only showed one character throughout every gameplay vid, they even showed a character you cant have in the sacred ashes trailer, how is THAT not confusing? your demographic isnt toddlers bioware, i think we can handle ONE gameplay vid with femshep without destroying our concept of reality. but w/e, not gonna be a vid 5 days from release.

there wont be. not even for me 3. The shep you see is the face of the brand

[Funkcase]

You play the game in a few days so does it matter?

[withateethuh]

I don't recall any real marketing with femshep in the first one. Don't know what people were expecting.

Ofcourse it matters! What kind of silly question is that?!

Not even for ME3? Do you work for Bioware or EA? In what capacity?

[Greenhelm]

I think I know why there isn't any FemShep vids. It's because of the agreement with Vanderloo to use his likeness. They obviously would have to pay for that, so they always do advertising with his face, otherwise it would be wasted money.



Though the reasoning isn't perfect, it still makes sense (to me at least).

I'd hate to think that those who say 'gamers will be confused' mean 'gamers are stupid and can't process the idea of more than one Shepard in the game'. <_<

They fight to change the world, not sit idly by while Bioware continues making mono-gendered trailers. Begin the revolution!

You can play as your femShep then and witness her in all her glory in the full game. I think that is better than a 1 min video.

its called marketing. The face will be kept for the trilogy. why? because every game needs the one recognizable guy . they gave chosen this guy. i mean the game is 5 days away you expect them to do the trailer now? after seeing the launch trailer?

Yes but that is ATLEAST a week away from now! And ME3 is waaay off somewhere in the far future. If they don't break this vicious cycle of not showing the femshep to us... It'll continue to annoy us Femshep players for years to come...

femShep isn't the face of Mass Effect, VanderShep is. Don't expect to see femShep ever.

[Captain Crash]

The marketing campaign is now set for the ME trilogy in my opinion. They created their agenda and how they will promote ME going forward. So no dont expect a trailer for femshep for ME2 or ME3. We have seen how their marketing campaign works and it is very specific.



Dont get me wrong though, my first two playthroughs will be a femshep and I would have liked to have at least seen something. However Biowares marketing have other intentions.



I think the way they have marketed it, as in cinema/movie style means they cant switch protagonist. Lets be fair the trailers have been awesome and amazing. Adding a femshep would confuse edge customers and add a heap of other issues. Whether you like it or not the marketing works and you have to see it from a business sense.
