I've related so much to the female Shepard that the face, voice, manner and all-around badassery is ingrained into my mind since ME1. I hope the BW people would take the suggestion under consideration: putting Femshep in trailers, ads and even put her on her own box cover for ME3. Doesn't even have to rid the default Shepard, it could be like a Male/Female edition.

[Dethateer]

Oor not.

[Costin_Razvan]

They can't do that. For continuity sake the box art and adds will stay with male Shepard.



Besides. Most gamers are MALES, who want to see a badass in the trailers/adds/art, sales would drop by a LOT if they replaced male Shep with Female Shep.



And before someone gets a smart idea, I do play a female Shepard.

[Chakku Sama]

I'm not sure if there's a word for it but. Male Shepard is pretty much the Mass Effect Idol... I'd think.

But I kind've see your point, Female Shepard and Male Shepard on the box, donu guessing its up to Bioware.

No.

[DarthCaine]

They started with the male one, they'll end it with the male one

[Blameless77]

While it's probably unrealistic to think FemShep would get any love where advertising/box art is concerned, it would be nice to get a custom default model for her in-game (the same way that MaleShep has the Vanderloo default which is higher quality than anything you can create in the character creation engine).



I can't complain too much though, since the character creator in ME2 was worlds better than one in ME1.

Well they could always make a wide poster to feature all the characters and have Male and Female Shep standing back to back in the centre, that could appease both sides. Doesn't really bother me honestly.

I'd prefer to see some FemShep marketing for ME3. It's silly that a game where you customize your character is limited in marketing to one and same face all the time. And preferably the boxart shouldn't have a character portrait, at all. What's wrong with a more abstract cover? That coverbox for the Collector's Edition had the right idea - just a close shot of the N7 armour with blood on it. It was stylish, abstract and neutral at the same time.

[Kangasniemi]

Kind of unlikely to change it now. But they could make 2 different versions of the cover art, one with male Shep and one with female Shep. Players could choose which one they wanted and collectors would probably buy both.



Having both male and female Shepard in the same picture is a bad idea. I mean, it's not sister and brother Shepard. It's Shepard who can be male or female. So don't put them in the same picture.

Double post.

True I did like it, though only people who played ME 1 would understand the reference, so going with the more mass appeal style covers gets more people in.

I did see that at first in stores and recognized it the moment I saw it, then some other people were looking at it and said "I don't understand, What type of game is it?" then walked away.  So there is some give and take.

Yeah that kind of thing makes me facepalm. I usually read the back of most games so if the developer fails to proper label the game that's their fault. (I know better than to judge a game by the boxart).

Sorry for Double post (if no one postsed yet) but here is the answer. "Reversable Cover" Have a Male shep image on one side then a Fem Shep image on the other so you can go either way.

Try the poll in my sig to find out.

Of course it's not a proper poll, but it gives some indication that there is a substantial interest in FemShep.

And yes, another poll indicates that male players are the majority.

It isn't going to happen. Best of luck though - I personally play both male and female Shepards so it wouldn't bother me too much.

[AngryFrozenWater]

Come to think of it... They could feature FemShep on the box cover of the CE.

[addiction21]

How about some nice neutral waffle cover art. Waffles do not have genders so everybody can be left out.

And really if you were perusing your local game store and saw a box with a giant waffle holding a cannon on a box you would be curious. You would have to look at it.

[MonkeyLungs]

I think if they give FemShep armor like Samara (or is that lack of armor?) --- then and only then should they put her on the boxart!



The commercials should all be shots like the close ups of Miranda's booty when Shep is talking to her but of FemSheps booty and chest in a montage style.

The sells of Mass Effect 3 would be astronomical after those commercials.

[Lonely_Fat_Guy]

uhm no, they wont cause maleshep is mass effect right now.



so they will finish it with maleshep.

and for the boxcover i dont care cause the box cover of me2 sucked so bad.

it doesntmatter much cause alli do is play the agme and im not staring at the box

[InvaderErl]

You have to figure Bioware PAID for the MaleShep model. They're going to use it.

[Darkstar87uk]

They're not going to have male shep, male shep and switch to fem shep at the last minute. Anyway isn't the male shep a unique model?

[SurfaceBeneath]

Considering how awful the ME2 box art is, I say please don't. I want my femshep to retain a little dignity.

[the_one_54321]

I'll voice that I'm also against it. Female Shepard is great for those that play it, but the marketing is established. Don't change it.
