Hmm. Personally I have a bit of a reaction to man!Shep (especially Sheploo) because of him coming out a bit like the stereotypical space marine, all Paragon of Manliness and stuff, so I prefer fem!Shep because she does all the things that man!Shep does but just happens to be a woman, so there's a sort of feminist undertone to it, which I like.

+1!

Also, I dislike/have no interest in male!Shep and male!Hawke pretty much mainly because they get all the promo-coverage. That's my personal reason, though, so I don't judge any of their fans /shrugs

OK I'm going to admidt something. I don't have a problem with M!Shep at all. It's the annoying sexist fanboys that origianly turned me away from playing him at all.
It's just... "OMG gurls cant be solders!!11" (yeah try telling that to the girls in my ex boyfriends battallion...)

And WHY do the never show F!Shep??? A little screenshot once in a while? Show her talking? Make people aware that she's there? For some reason DAO never had this problem... they had promo artworks for both male and female wardens... why can't they do the same with DA2 and Mass Effect?

What's so friggin hard about it???

Argh sorry for the excessive amount of typos I forgot to spell check.

Going through official screens @ the ME2 site (and there are a lot), I count maybe four of FemShep while the rest are MShep. Considering that creating pretty much everything about Shepard is a big part of the game from the get-go, you'd think they'd advertise it a bit? Or does BioWare assume that people know by now?

Is DAII the same way, because I'd never have guessed there was a fem!Hawke if I only paid attention to what Bioware put out & didn't talk to people playing it. :P

[identity profile] dethtoll.livejournal.com 2011-04-17 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Probably because Dude!Shep was based on a real model, Fem!Shep wasn't, and they're trying to milk as much value out of that fee as they can.

Which makes me want to punch a baby because the dark-haired goatee guy is one of the most generic fucking faces in popular media today.

[identity profile] october-miss.livejournal.com 2011-04-17 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
It's the most likely reason, but it's annoying as hell. I hope the under performing sales of DA II gives Bioware some food for thought... Considering how much higher the percentage of women who play DA is than Mass Effect (sadly enough, I think Mass Effect is a great game). But woman probably aren't even aware that you can be a female character in this game so that's kinda their (Biowares) fault. Unless they're Bioware fans of course.

@kuusei
Those four screen shots were sneaked in by a Dev who was annoyed that they couldn't show F!Shep to the fans... pretty sad isn't it?
