End conclusion. Different people have different opinions on the matter. Who would have guessed.



Play whichever one you prefer. I prefer Femshep.

[The Angry One]

Ah yes, "opinions". Viewpoints which are allegedly different from others. We have dismissed these claims.



... okay I'll stop.

Yes everyone's entitled to their own opinions evenifthey'retotallywrong.

All hail FemShep!

No honestly, I just can't understand how people can prefer femShep to maleShep or even think maleShep doesn't work.

Cos I'm female myself? Please don't forget the possibility of female gamers...

I don't. Maybe I should have said: "I can't understand how people  (male-gamers in specific) can prefer femShep to maleShep or even think maleShep doesn't work."

I know many of us prefer to play a character of our own gender and I respect that. I just don't understand MALE gamers going all crazy on femShep and hatefull at maleShep. It's crazy in my opinion. I don't want to stereotype anyone but I almost get the feeling that 90% of these male-gamers going femShep all the way are people who seriously need to get laid, I ESPECIALLY tent to think that way when I read this silly argument: "I dunno about you but I rather stare at a female's ass than a man's ass." *facepalm*

I hear that comment a lot...about starting at the ass. My fiancé doesn't understand it either, he always plays a guy since he is a guy. Having never played a male-Shep I can't really say what the reason could actually be but I've heard quite a few people mention that femShep voice acting is a lot better. Could be that then...I don't know.

Respect people wanting to play their own gender, or cross-gender just for the kicks of it (heck, my main good Fable2 character was a woman, while my main evil character was male). I just think that the female counterpart of Shepard (femShep) could have been a lot better than it is now. I think femShep is kinda dull overal and sometimes even awkward at some moments, though maleShep can be pretty awkward too in rare cases. But that's just my opinion.

I must disagree. Female Shepard is absolutely perfect as she is. She's a realistically shaped women with mannerisms, speech, and movements that fit her intense military training. She doesn't have any extra frills or anything because they are useless and pointless. Honestly, I think even wearing makeup is a bit of a stretch with someone like her(my femshep wears eyeshadow cause I like how it looks.)

As for being dull, I don't know what you're criteria is for dull but voice wise, no one is more dull than maleshep.

Why would i, as a straight man, want to play with a male character?

Seriously speaking, for me it's question of aesthetics. As a man i find the female form and voice more pleasing to the eye (and ear) than a male one. As for the "immersion" argument, i've never once during my over 20 years of gaming felt that i am the character. I can lose myself to the story or gameplay (the original doom from 15 years ago still accomplishes the latter wonderfully), but i never imagine being in the game. I never play as "myself" either, to me that feels awkward. I prefer to be an outsider, a director if you will, controlling what happens in the game, and as so the main character may aswell be a pretty one

Also, in my opinion the female shepard voice actor does a better job than the male one, except maybe with the renegade lines, her threats lack a bit of believability.

In the end, play which ever you prefer, no one will ever know. Unless you post about it into public forums

Okay, I know it sounds 'piggy', but I like looking at the female form.
I'm one of those guys that prefer playing 'femshep' , and romancing the ladies.
I know, I know, I guess that could make me a man caught in a virtual lesbian's body.

I also have this thing for female action heroes, Xena/Lucy Lawless, Katee Sackhoff, Sarah Michele Geller, Ripley/Sigourney Weaver, Mili Jovovich, Kate Beckinsale, Angelina Jolie. And unrequited love for Eliza Dushku
Dollhouse was cancelled way too early.

And quite honestly I prefer Jeniffer Hale's voice work, on this series. It is exceptional!
As others have stated, she has the inflections down to a fine science.
Jennifer sounds natural and in command, and she can be compassionate or hard as nails.

I've played male-shep, but somehow, the game just feels right with 'Hale' in charge.
Which is why I only have, one male-shep (Hal), and 4 fem-sheps (Sara, Sarah, Ripley, and Mili J.)

I came into this topic to say something only to find that you had already said it, exactly.
I'll kindly ask you to get out of my mind.
