I'd love a game though that went more into their lore. Like uncovering Arlathan or something.

With the forshadowing, it could be in the next game. Protagonist in that scenario will be a male elven warrior, me thinks.

Disclaimer, I don't mind the female choice, but one thing that kind of annoys me is overkill in the Inquisition founders. Default is all female, except Cullen. Personally, I thought my male rounded it out.. and even then, it's mostly female.

Yeah, but there is solas and he is a magic advisor? But yeah, I see your point. Meh, my inky will always be a human guy..with british voice..who swept cass of her feat.

 I believe this game's target audience is women, so I'm not surprised.

 

Actually, kind of makes me wonder why I bought it. Whatever.

 

Also the people saying it doesn't "invalidate anyone's playthrough" is lying. The default state is how each character made decisions according to Bioware - without active player changes to it, that's "what was supposed to happen", essentially. If the author is telling you how they'd like the backstory to be, even though you can change it, that's more "canon" than anyone else's since, you know, it's the author that made it.

Uhm, if you think the games target audience is women: then you really,really do need to go, and take a look at the theory, and processes, that establish a target-audience. Then after you have done that, go and look at the marketing techniques bioware used up until launch.

The game is still mostly aimed at men, but Bioware still has a significant female audience. Hundreds of thousands in-fact, and they are just as valid as the male players are(.but the process behind marketing always tends to go to the higher percentage).

In saying that, they don't want to lose a third of their playerbase, by making them overly-uncomfortable. Because rougly 300,000.X $70 = $2100000 (less expenses) and thats a hell of a lot of money.

And that is what EA wants, Money! (and I dare say those figures, is why Bioware was allowed to do some marketing towards women.)

Remember the rule. Never feed it, unless you do so in moderation. Too much will make the precious hungrier.

If people really think default is canon, then default Renegade Shepard who killed everyone and did no side quests is canon.

Does it matter? The default Inquisitor is named Evelyn, but by design, the game allows me to pick another. Whether or not one feels it's "supposed" to be Evelyn makes no difference to me, just like it makes no difference to me which face is supposed to be the "true" one, and with the game at least acknowledging the name in text (like Sera's journal), that's all I really require. Heck, just look at the Warden. The default is dead, but mine isn't, and the games acknowledge as such, so the game itself validates the alternate time lines just fine.

 

I don't care if Sheploo or default FemShep's face is on the cover of my copy of Mass Effect; that face isn't in my save file. Doesn't matter if it's headcanon or whatever. It's just a story for me to enjoy, and I enjoy it more when I take advantage of options in the game.

I wonder why people think the default character and her choices means anything but the simplest way to go through the story, creating as little ballast as possible for the next game, and perhaps a little gender and class balance thrown in where it doesn't go against the primary purpose. I mean, just consider the name. "Evelyn Trevelyan" is a name I'd rather run away from. It screams "Change me, I sound like a parody" in the player's face. And as for the Inquisitor's face, there is no default. Different faces were used in the published videos where developers played the game, and the Inquisitors were wearing the dragon helmet in the rest of the marketing material.

Right, because you of all people obviously wouldn't start yelling how default is canon had they made Leliana default divine.

On the other hand, this means s/he helped save the universe from Conrad Verner, so... swings and roundabouts?

[vertigomez]

People get so fussy about "BioWare canon".

Remember how Alistair was King in the comics, and everyone ranted and raved about how that must be what BioWare REALLY intended and blah blah blah my choooiiceeessss.

And then DAI comes along and gives Warden Alistair 62728x more content than King Alistair and people were like "...oh. Maybe not, then."

[Killdren88]

Default isn't canon. And Bioware always takes the path of least resistance with as many optional characters dead as possible. It makes their job easier for future games. Our canon is canon. Thats it.

LMAO.

[Killdren88]

They tried to make it as neutral as possible. I don't see how it's female biased.

 

 

This is BSN. People throw fits when they use a male for their trailers. Everything ends up as a equality issue on these forums and it gets annoying.

BW canon follows a more Renegade-style Shepard, so that may or may not fit.
